As a result, absolutely every step in the process goes through additional quality control. Every tent that is marked with green delivery status in the store can also be picked up from us at short notice by appointment.  

The Roof Lodge Evolution awning ... which can also be used on many roof tents from other manufacturers. The widespread term <awning> is somewhat misleading in itself, as it has always been more of a hanging tent in which you can quickly and easily store camping equipment such as a table and chairs, the little ones' toys and a pint of beer. This not only applies to tidying up in the evening, but also in the event of a downpour. What's more, the fact that these items are no longer immediately visible makes them a little safer from theft. We also like to refer to this awning simply as a <shower curtain>. This name also gives you an idea of the actual size of the hanging tents. This is always 120 cm in depth and 140 cm or 165 cm depending on the tent width. This makes them significantly larger than most showers, but still smaller than what many people imagine. However, if the roof tent is installed at a sufficient height, you have a space that can also be used comfortably for changing. These awnings were and are less suitable for use in bad weather. This results in a requirement profile for them that is completely different from that of the floor tents of the extended tents. As the awning's tent character is clearly in the background, we have given it some thought and completely redesigned it according to its use. They are now made from the same material that we already use for our LIGHTWEIGHT - T109 ripstop nylon with Oxford weave. This material is surprisingly strong for its surprisingly low weight of just 102 g/m² and is the obvious choice for use in an awning. As awnings, like ground tents, usually have to be transported in the vehicle, the pack size is not insignificant. The fact that the usual voluminous and heavy PVC groundsheet has been replaced by a thin and light tarpaulin means that the pack size of the awning can almost be described as tiny.   Due to the type of use, elaborate window constructions are as pointless as spikes for ballerinas - nobody uses them. Of course, windows do have a right to exist in hanging tents; after all, you can not only see outside through them, they also let light into the tent. But this is where the T109 ripstop nylon comes into play again: this material has good light permeability, which puts the question of windows to rest once and for all. The entrance is usually located behind the ladder, which literally stands in the way of quickly stowing away the equipment. That's why we decided not to have an entrance. Some people will now say that Nakatanenga have definitely overshot the mark. But we simply questioned the design of the usual entrances with the entrance fabric, mosquito net and zippers and found that they were not necessary. Our awning therefore doesn't have an ENTRANCE, but of course there is an ACCESS - in fact several. The awning is fitted with zippers at all 4 corners. These can be used to separate the side walls from each other and thus not only determine the access as desired. You can also roll up one or all of the side walls. In the evening, for example, all you need to do is place the table and chairs on the tarpaulin, unroll the side walls and close the zippers. And the awning also offers real added value: the side tent walls also have two eyelets on the underside. The side walls can either be tensioned at an angle or extended using optional telescopic poles. This creates a rain-protected or shaded area of just under 5.5 by 1.2 meters. The awnings are suitable for all roof tents of the appropriate size that use the edge profiles shown on the Roof Lodge Evolution and LIGHTWEIGHT information pages. If you are not quite sure, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is not possible to use the awning and shoe bag at the same time. Note: The telescopic poles are NOT included in the scope of delivery.  

There’s one golden rule when it comes to insulation: layer up. Everbody knows this from sport and outdoor clothes but it also applies to tents. And since a bear wears a thicker coat in winter, we adapted the idea for our roof tents with the bear logo, Evo II and Lightweight, and created an inner thermo-layer that is practical and easy to set up. There’s no excuse any more not to go winter-camping in one of our Roof Lodges. Our thermal tent liner for Roof Lodges Evo II and Lightweight takes its cue from old nomad wisdom: the tent inside the tent immediately creates more warmth and a much better climate. Just like inside a mongol yurt, we are simply applying a perfectly fitting, insulating and breathing second layer to the roof and the walls. It reduces thermal radiation loss and gives you a much more even temperature distribution throughout the day. Fitting it is really easy, too. The quilted material with its three layers – polyester on the outside and thermal fleece in between – is simply clipped onto the tentpoles and tied down to the mattress by sewn-in straps. Apart from preserving warmth, the quickly fitted inner liner tent also reduces condensation build-up. And since ventilation is of utmost importance in that context, the liner also features air vents that perfectly match the windows in the outer tent walls. Same as with the entrance flap, the ventilation windows are opened and closed by robust, durable YKK zippers. Last but not least, the thermal material also reduces outside noise by a hefty 35 dB. Use our thermo-liner tent for a significantly warmer, dryer and quieter camping experience in your Roof Lodge. It’ll make even winter camping much cozier. The roof tent can still be closed with the inner tent attached. Material: polyester micro fibers, thermal fleeceZippers: YKK Sizes: 140165 Note: The thermal inner tent can be washed at 30° gentle cycle. 

Roof Lodge Lightweight 140 Basic roof tent - the complete package This offer already includes all the accessories that make travelling with a car roof tent even more comfortable. Just decide on a mattress and the optional awning.   The following accessories are already included in this complete roof tent set: 3D mesh mattress underlay (10mm; optional with our Saar foam mattresses) - the icing on the cake when it comes to sleeping comfort in the roof tent. This underlay also prevents condensation, which is typical of roof tents with closed windows. Ladder levelling feet - a secure stand of the ladder, independent of the ground, helps to avoid damage to the roof tent. Stowage net - for all the things you prefer to stow away outside the roof tent.

For car campers and roof tent enthusiasts, roof loads are often a (ge)important issue. If you take it lightly, you risk roof damage. But away from the play on words and towards the bare figures, because the trend is clear: the average dynamic roof loads of vehicles are falling. While the G-Class with 200 kg and the new Defender with up to 168 kg are still solid values, things go downhill pretty quickly after that. Even a new Land Cruiser J150 Prado only manages 80 kilos, and in the normal passenger car segment the average is closer to 60 kilos, with a downward trend. In addition to changes in vehicle statics due to lightweight construction and electrification, the increased use of sensors and assistance systems is probably responsible for this. And even if the values for a stationary vehicle are of course considerably higher, the critical range for commercially available roof tents is approaching. At Nakatanenga, we are reacting to this development at an early stage and have therefore developed the Roof Lodge Lightweight, an ultra-light roof tent which, with a total weight of only approx. 46 kg, weighs a record low on the scales or the car roof. Of course, there are no restrictions on the space, comfort and weather protection you are used to from our Roof Lodges. How does it work? What is the difference between the LIGHTWEIGHT roof tent and our EVOLUTION 2 folding tents? >>> Detailed explanations and a description of the points listed below can be found on our info page, which opens in a new window. >>> First of all, we use 100% Oxford nylon with ripstop for the skin of the Lightweight, an extremely strong but surprisingly light material that weighs in at only 102 g/m2. Compared to the 320 g/m2 on our Evolution 2, this is a reduction of a whopping 78%. The fabric of the tent skin and the sun awning of the Lightweight are identical, PU-coated on the inside and impregnated on the outside. This means that no compromises are made in terms of wind and rain protection. How can weight be saved on the roof when travelling with the roof tent? Further weight can be saved on the Roof Lodge Lightweight by choosing the mattresses. As an alternative to our one-piece standard foam mattress (60 mm, approx. 5 kg) and the optional 3D mesh mattress (approx. 3.5 kg), we also offer a self-inflating Kampa mattress with a thickness of 10 cm and a weight of approx. 5.5 kg. The 10 cm thickness of the air mattress has been chosen so that, with a lower total weight, a comparable lying comfort and similar insulation properties to the combination of foam mattress with mesh underlay are given. Last but not least, the aluminium ladder can be removed and transported inside the car, which reduces both the roof load and the overall height of the vehicle. On car ferries, for example, 10 cm less height can often make a money-saving difference. Anyone who would like to go on a road trip with their own roof tent in times of limited contact, but does not have heavy four-wheel drive vehicles and would like to experience this adventurous way of travelling in the best sense of the word with station wagons, SUVs and even smaller cars up to hatchbacks, will be delighted with the Roof Lodge Lightweight. This item is bulky goods. The stated shipping weight differs from the actual item weight. The actual item weights are: Roof Lodge Lightweight with self-inflating mattress: approx. 47 kg. Roof Lodge Lightweight with standard mattress: approx 49 kg Roof Lodge Lightweight with standard mattress and 3D mesh underlay: approx. 52 kg Save weight during the journey and stow the following items inside the vehicle: Ladder: approx. 4.3 kg Self-inflating mattress: 5,2 kg Saar foam mattress: 5 kg (standard) and 7kg (hard) Saar foam mattress with 3D mesh underlay: 8kg and 10kg respectively
