Canvas

The material for the RT1 is one of the most important parts. After in-depth research and testing we found the best on the market.  We chose the highest quality Australian made Wax Converters Coolabah Dynaproofed canvas as it’s breathable, rot proof, waterproof and it’s a material that can expand with heat for airflow but also closes down in the cold.
The tent has 3 large openings all with full height windows made from midge/insect proof mesh. This allows for maximum airflow and light.  The rear door is covered with a large awning which allows the rear window to be open in heavy rain.  All of the heavy duty zips are covered with a canvas flap which stops water and light being able to pass through when closed.
There are 4 handy mesh internal pockets for keys, wallets or other personal items. The rear awning has adjustable Supapeg poles, slide out awning arms and adjustable straps for tensioning.
There is also a handy bungee cord to help fold the canvas when closing the tent making it quick and easy. There is a 5 year conditional manufactures warranty on the canvas and our workmanship.

The First Boss Rooftop Tent in 2006

Origins of the Boss RT1

15 years ago, we built our first rooftop tent back in 2006 and various custom versions over the following years. We were continually asked by our customers when we were going to release a production model to the market. So in 2017 we made the decision to make it happen. This led to 36 months of R&D with hundreds of hours being spent in the design, prototyping, development and product testing (the part we love best).

The design process of our RT1 began in 3D CAD, with around 8 versions being made before the final design was settled on. We wanted something that was built super tough to handle our harsh Australian conditions, have clean lines to help cut through the air, and look good.
