If you’ve ever wondered what the black square box things are with the word Kings written on them that you see on top all sorts of camping 4x4s, utes and SUVs, then you wouldn’t be the first person. Those are Adventure Kings camping roof top tents, and they’re changing the way Aussies head bush to enjoy some relaxing time off from work, school and the hustle and bustle of daily life.

A roof top tent differs from traditional dome tents that you probably used as a kid. Roof top tents are much easier to set up. They’re also faster to pack away, not to mention they’re much more comfortable and convenient too.

A Kings roof top tent comes with everything you need combined in one package. That means there’s a high density open cell mattress (either 75mm thick if you get the Weekender or Tourer model, or 80mm in the Kwiky) already included and permanently set up. That takes the first bit of hassle out of your roof top camper set up – no need to bring a blow up bed along on the trip – there’s already a super comfy mattress included.

Roof top tents also keep their waterproof ‘fly’ secured at all times as well, so when you fold out your Weekender or Tourer, the entire tent opens and sets up as you fold out the tent. The only setup required is attaching a few quick poles to your window flaps to really let the ventilation flow through while you sleep comfortable up on the roof. There’s no guesswork required as to whether you’re putting the fly on backwards or not, and nothing you need to peg out to get the tent tight and ready to be slept in. This is especially handy when you’re camping on rocky or sandy ground, where a normal steel tent peg isn’t the easiest thing to make stick!

Once you fold the base of your Weekender or Tourer roof top tent open and have opened up the window vents with the included poles, you’re pretty much ready to sleep in it. Sleeping bags, doonas, sheets and pillows can actually be permanently kept inside the bedding compartment of your Kings roof top tent – you know that’s impossible to do with a dome tent. Yes, you Kings rooftop tent can hold all the pillows and blankets you want, all the time, meaning it will be as cosy as your bed at home on a cold winters night. And not only will it be warm, but it takes next to no time to set up, so while your mates still have to unroll sleeping bags and dig around the back of the car for pillows after pegging out their tent and struggling with the fly, you’re well and truly set up and ready for bed!

Apart from holding all your sleeping gear in one place and being so fast to set up, roof top tents also offer many other advantages to traditional dome tents, and this is why they’re such a huge hit.

Sleeping up off the ground has many advantages. In your Kings roof top tent camper you’ll be up high and dry from any wet ground that can puddle during an overnight storm. In winter, you won’t have your body heat sapped out of you through the floor of a tent that’s resting on cold earth. In summer, you’ll be up higher, giving you more chance of catching a breeze and getting a cooler night sleep, as well as not having your body resting on hot, sun-drenched earth. Anyone who doesn’t love the idea of sleeping at ground level with bugs and snakes (new campers especially have this concern) will rest easy up high with their roof top tent.

Roof top tents are also convenient for quick trips or long stays, meaning you won’t ever outgrow them if you upgrade from doing overnighters with your mates to bigger trips with the family. If you’re driving long distances en route to your final destination (e.g. heading north to Cape York), a roof top tent can be set up and ready for sleep in just a minute or two – especially the pop up Kwiky roof top tent. This is important for people who drive through the night and pull up for a few hours sleep. Being able to climb into your tent and be asleep in seconds is a huge advantage where every minute counts. Trying to rummage through your 4WD or ute tray to find your tent, sleeping bag and pillow (because the can’t all fit together in a tent bag, remember!) is not easy at midnight on the side of the road. Certainly it isn’t as easy as unclipping your Kwiky pop up tent and climbing in.
