Thule Outset: Innovative roof tent for the trailer hitch

• This Thule tent attaches to the car’s towbar. Even while driving.
• The assembly can be done within a few minutes.
• The tent can also stand freely. In any case, you don’t sleep on the (wet) floor.

The camping industry celebrated its annual get-together at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. In 2023 we were able to find a cheap motorhome alternative from Roadcar and a crazy Citroën camper for you. This Swedish off-road vehicle is also worth a look. Now accessory provider Thule is moving into our focus.

Thule Outset is a fresh, fundamentally new approach to roof tents. These are usually installed firmly on your car roof using a roof rack and unfolded to full size when you arrive at your destination. It’s different here, but here too the trunk lid remains operable when the tent is mounted.

Inside, two adults will find a place to sleep protected from the rain. A precisely fitting mattress, mosquito nets and other accessories are also included in the scope of delivery. Practical: The tent can be separated from the car in just a few steps and then stands freely on integrated supports. Like the Bajao Cabin SUP tent. Your car can be used flexibly at the holiday destination for day trips, for example for exploring or shopping trips.

Price and availability

Thule did not provide any interesting information – such as price and weight – during its trade fair appearance at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. The Thule Outset is scheduled to launch in spring 2024. You can sign up for a newsletter from the manufacturer here to stay up to date.

We would like to introduce you to further innovations from the camping sector here. If you are enthusiastic about camping with your car, you should definitely take a look at this multi-story car tent with garage.

Also just interesting…
