New roof tent option available for the Land Rover Defender

Land Rover has teamed up with Italian Automobile tent making specialist Autohome to develop a bespoke roof tent for the new Land Rover Defender.

Available for the Defender 110, the roof tent's rugged, easy-to-operate design allows customers to enjoy short overnight camping trips or lengthy overland expeditions in complete comfort.

As tough and capable as the vehicle it was created for, the Defender roof tent features an intuitive design and premium quality materials that have been proven in the harshest climates.

A lightweight fibreglass shell protects the tent when not in use and allows it to be erected single-handedly in seconds by simply uncliping the fastening at the rear and lifting the shell slightly for the integral gas struts to take over and fully open the carbon grey fabric sides.

The tent sleeps two adults on a full-size luxury cotton mattress and comes with pillows, an interior LED light and a stowage net. The tent can be easily accessed from either side of the vehicle and comes with an extendable aluminium access ladder which can be stored in the stowage bag inside the tent when not in use.

On the move, the tent is stowed flat for maximum stability and aerodynamic efficiency. When erected, it measures 2,300mm long, 1,300mm wide and 1,500mm high.
