Bertha: Lightweight Fold-Out Rooftop Tent

Bertha is a soft-shell fold-out that pitches in around five minutes. Unclip, unfold, extend the poles, and you're in. It takes a bit longer than Betty or Millie, but Bertha weighs 38kg, which is why it fits on more vehicles than any other tent in the range. The trade is five minutes of setup for the widest vehicle compatibility we make. For most people, that's an easy trade.

Bertha's mattress measures 210cm by 130cm, bigger than a standard UK single, comfortable for two adults and a child. The removable rainfly means clear-sky nights you can sleep under the stars, clipping back on when the weather turns. Stars when you want them, shelter when you need it.

Main fabric waterproof rating: 3,000HH. Flysheet waterproof rating: 5,000HH, serious weather protection for a soft-shell tent. YKK zips throughout. German Stabilus gas struts rated to 45,000 cycles. Silicone-taped seams. UV50+ fabric. Bertha is the lightest tent in the range, but light doesn't mean cheap. Every material decision was made to last, not to cut cost.

Bertha weighs 38kg, the lightest tent in the range and the one that fits the widest variety of vehicles. You need roof bars with at least 91cm spacing and a dynamic roof bar rating of 80kg or more. Bertha's soft-shell construction means it suits smaller cars, lower roof load limits, and vehicles where the heavier tents in the range aren't an option. No special fitting kit required.

Structural components, the frame, the flysheet, and the gas struts are all covered. UK stock, UK support, real people in Cheshire who answer the phone. No bots. No ticket numbers. No computer says no.
