Betty: 30-Second Hard-Shell Rooftop Tent

Betty opens in 30 seconds. Unclip the latches, lift the shell, and the German Stabilus gas struts do the rest. No poles, no instructions, no arguing in a car park at dusk. The bed is ready before the kettle boils. Packing away is nearly as quick: fold, clip, done. If you can open a laptop, you can set up Betty.

Betty has the biggest mattress in the range. 240cm by 140cm, bigger than a standard UK double. Sleeps 2 adults and 1 child comfortably. Full blackout walls and external LED lighting for the bits in between. Room to stretch out, darkness when you want it, a proper lie-in on a Saturday morning in a field.

German Stabilus gas struts rated to 45,000 open-and-close cycles, roughly three times the industry standard. YKK zips that don't jam at midnight in the rain. Silicone-taped seams that don't leak by October. UV50+ blackout fabric. Comfort duo-layer mattress. A hard shell that takes whatever the British weather throws at it and doesn't make it your problem.

Betty weighs 67kg. You'll need roof bars with at least 91cm spacing and a dynamic roof bar rating of 80kg or more, that's the rating for when the car is moving, which is the number that matters. Betty mounts to standard roof bars on the vast majority of vehicles. No special kit required. If you can fit a roof box, you can fit Betty. Not sure about your car? Send it to us and we'll tell you straight.

Every Betty is covered by our guarantee for up to five years, in writing. Manufacturing faults and build problems are on us, we sort it, not you. Structural components, the shell, the frame, and the gas struts are all covered. UK stock, UK support, real people in Cheshire who pick up the phone after you've bought, not just before. No bots, no ticket numbers, no being passed around.
