Welcome to the next generation of rooftop living! Introducing the Hawk’s Nest V2 Rooftop Tent - Standard.

Built on the foundations of our extremely popular Hawk’s Nest Rooftop Tent Range, which has quickly grown to become one of New Zealand’s most trusted rooftop tents. We’ve been tweaking and dreaming up solutions that not only create a more effortless camp setup and handle anything your adventures may throw at you, but continue to ensure that our tents are constructed using the highest quality materials and construction processes available to go the distance and handle everything along the way.

The Hawk’s Nest V2’s tough & durable fully aluminium construction creates an aerodynamic rooftop home that is extremely low profile and can be unfolded and ready for camp in under 30 seconds (yes, you heard that right!).

With mountable accessory tracks throughout and optional tent mounted racks that can handle up to 30kg worth of essential adventure gear on top when unfolding, adventures have never been so effortless.

HAWK'S NEST MODEL GUIDE

This Standard model Hawk's Nest V2 offers a taller shell than our Low-Pro model, offering more space inside to keep bedding when closed and travelling. It’s the go to size for most medium to large vehicles.

EFFORTLESS SETUP & ADVENTURES

It’s as easy as flicking the two easy to use lockable latches open and letting the marine grade stainless steel gas struts do the rest. The Hawk’s Nest V2 is fully setup in less than 30 seconds making it one of the most effortless rooftop options on the market.

With a moveable telescopic ladder and two ladder entry options at all times. Ensuring you have easy access, however your vehicle or camp site is setup.

LOW PROFILE BUT HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

Multiple tent mounted rack options let you bring all your essentials along for the ride on top. There’s a whole host of tie down, load securing and gear mounting accessories available.

Heavy-duty, marine grade, stainless steel gas struts allow up to 30kg of gear to be stored on top whilst unfolding and at camp. This means less time taking gear on and off and more time enjoying yourself. The modular design doesn’t stop there with multiple accessory mounting T-Tracks featured around the entire perimeter and on the topside of the aluminium shell, for mounting awnings, camp lights, shoe pockets and more.

Inside, you’ll find fully insulated panel work and a handy overhead cargo storage system.

DESIGNED FOR & PROVEN IN NZ'S HARSHEST CONDITIONS

From Northland’s beaming sun to the howling winds & rain of the deep South, the Hawk’s Nest has been rigorously tested and proven amongst it all to create a true 4-seasons rooftop home. With each element being purposely developed here in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions.

Featuring our proven X-Canvas, the Hawk’s Nest’s tent body & Rainfly is built tough using Feldon Shelter's proven, NZ-proof construction methods. We’ve sourced the gear that works, genuine YKK Zippers from Japan, European built COATS thread (the stuff used on boat sails), NZ-Made Bungees, the list goes on. With downward facing, heat sealed seams throughout, the Hawk’s Nest is designed to be weatherproof in even the most extreme conditions. Giving you the confidence to go further and tackle it all.

Feldon Shelter’s very own built in ErgoCell dual stage mattress comfortably fits two people with enough room to stretch out. There’s nothing like a soft, dry and flat bed to lay on after a long day behind the wheel. You can kiss goodbye those restless nights spent sleeping on rocks and roots.

ROOF RACK & VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

Roof Rack Requirements: 3-Bar Roof Rack System OR Roof Platform with a minimum of 6 Mounting Points to your vehicles roof. 

The spacing between the front & rear roof rack (or for roof platforms, the front & rear mounting points) should be no less than 900mm.

Vehicle Requirements: Both your vehicle & roof rack system require a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg or more.

The Hawk's Nest range of rooftop tents is well suited to larger SUV's, 4x4's and vans.

A quick note for most Double Cab Utes: A load capable canopy with suitable canopy mounted roof racks (or platform) is generally required. The tent cannot be mounted both to the utes cab and canopy/tray at the same time, due to their individual flex on the chassis. The ute cab itself also usually does not offer enough mounting length.

Good news! If you require suitable roof racks, we stock and install most leading brands. For all roof rack and vehicle questions, feel free to get in touch with us here.
