Quick Pitch Hard Shell Roof Tent From South Africa

Quick Pitch Hard Shell Roof Tent From South Africa

Note: If you're trying to compare this model to any NZ/Aussie-branded roof tents, pause right there – this is in a different league. All NZ/Aussie brands sold in New Zealand deliver performance similar to our SUB60 roof tent, even those that claim to be premium or specifically designed for NZ. For a detailed breakdown of the differences, check out our roof tent buyer's guide.

 

Main Features:

 

  • Quick Pitch is a top world brand. Made in South Africa, proven globally.
  • Much superior South African woven polycotton canvas in a very thick 400gsm weight! (99.9% of roof tents in NZ have Chinese canvas or polyester). Outstanding thermal and wind properties. The canvas is a key feature of this tent, not to be underestimated!
  • Seriously insulated shells! 25mm foam insulation in the roof panel and 15mm plus carpet in the floor.
  • Very unique, hingeless shell constructed from rotating extrusions. 
  • 75mm mattress
  • Built in electrics, USB charging, permanenty installed lighting
  • Extra long 2.3m shell suits the tallest users and creates surprising internal volume
  • No plastic corners on the shell, as found on all Chinese origin roof tents. Instead shells feature all metal corners, fully welded for life. Far superior construction.

 

Many in NZ haven't yet had opportunity to see what they've been missing out on. I.e. just how superior the roof tents from our global brands are, for a little more spend. The superior quality of the materials used, especially the canvas, is very obvious when seen up close, even if not able to be discerned from online photos. The construction of the welded aluminium shell is on another level altogether. It's the longest shell on the NZ market. And with a unique extrusion system in the front (no hinge!) this model provides huge internal space and useable length.

 

All our roof tents from global brands feature South African woven, core spun polycotton (never polyester or Chinese canvas). This Quick Pitch model features SA canvas in a huge 400gsm weight - around twice as thick as on tents sold in NZ, though feels even thicker due to the quality. You'll need to view this up close to see/feel the difference, as online pictures can't do it justice.

 

Hidden out of sight is the up to inch thick insulation built into the aluminium shells. Although some Chinese origin/NZ brand hard shell roof tents are now sold in NZ as 'insulated', in most cases they are not really. Real insulation significantly improves year-round thermal performance (hot and cold climates) and benefits condensation management.

Quick Pitch Says:

 

No bolts or pop-rivets are used in the structure which means no potential leaks. We found that by welding the aluminium parts together the life of the tent is prolonged. Because we are using extrusions, we do not use hinges as we designed the extrusions in a matter where the two extrusions fit snuggly into each other and swivel within one another, which means that the weight of the top is distributed evenly across the width of the tent.

 

The Quick Pitch Roof Top Tent has an awning on all sides of the tent to prevent rain and dew from dripping on the tent and it gives more shade to keep the tent cooler inside. The tent takes seconds to pitch and 40kg can be loaded on the tent roof. The bedding can be kept in the tent as it has enough space even when in traveling mode to accommodate your bedding. Features a 12v outlet and include 2x USB ports with an interior light, convenience / storage bags situated in tent ceiling. Two tone powder coated finish on the outside for a great look. Anti-slip telescopic ladder included with a safety bracket that secures ladder in place.
