The Groenberg 'WEEKEND' car tent is an ultra-lightweight version of the camping equipment that's engineered with versatility in mind to help adventurers easily set up camp wherever they go.
The tent is engineered to be installed by a single person to greatly enhance the freedom of use for individuals and weighs in at 27.6-pounds plus the ladder. The tent can be erected upon arrival at a campsite and positioned onto the roof of the vehicle by a single person thanks to its light profile, which will also allow for easy removal.
The Groenberg 'WEEKEND' car tent maintains its lightweight features thanks to inflatable components like a TPU base that drastically cuts the weight when compared to hard-sided alternatives. The tent is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign.
