Gen 4 Soft Shell Rooftop Tent - Gunmetal Grey

The Gen 4 Gunmetal Grey is our feature-packed fold-out rooftop tent for campers wanting generous interior space in a clean, understated setup.

With a 2.4m x 1.4m sleeping area and 70mm high-density foam mattress, it offers the space of a traditional soft-shell rooftop tent with a range of integrated features designed to make life at camp simpler. The Gunmetal Grey finish pairs particularly well with modern 4WD, ute and touring builds without dominating the look of the vehicle.

Inside, the Gen 4 includes dimmable multi-mode lighting, 12V power with USB, USB-C and cigarette-style sockets, large storage and shoe pockets and a heater duct for colder trips. Exterior under-base lighting provides useful illumination around the ladder and campsite after dark.

Built Around Practical Touring

The Gen 4 uses a high-strength thermoplastic honeycomb base designed to flex under load while providing insulation between the sleeping platform and the vehicle roof.

A curved roof profile helps manage water during wet weather, while the Lucas Creek anti-flap rain-fly system is designed to reduce fabric movement and noise when conditions become windy.

Panoramic windows provide wide views and ventilation, while the ladder-cover extension includes an additional window to bring more light and airflow into the entrance area. The cam-lock closing system also makes pack-down easier when travelling regularly between campsites.

For campers who want more usable space at ground level, an optional annex can be fitted beneath the fold-out section to create a protected area for gear, changing or relaxing.

Designed and refined in New Zealand and backed by a five-year warranty, the Gunmetal Grey Gen 4 is suited to touring vehicles, couples and families looking for a spacious soft-shell rooftop tent with integrated comfort and electrical features.

The All New Gen 4 Lucas Creek Soft shell Rooftop Tent in Natural Green is the result of 9 years of refinement and field testing across New Zealand’s most diverse landscapes. Designed by outdoor enthusiasts, for outdoor enthusiasts, this Gen 4 model balances strength, comfort, quietness, and weather resistance in one rugged, all-season package.
We have added LED dimmable strip lights internally and externally and convenient internal 12v power to charge your devices and power accessories and a heater duct for winter camping.

At the core of the tent is our ultra-durable thermoplastic honeycomb base—a material far superior to aluminium honeycomb or sandwich panel bases. It's lightweight, flexible under load, and capable of handling over 1 tonne of pressure without denting or damage. Better yet, it acts as a natural insulator, helping reduce condensation while keeping you warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Set up and pack down takes minutes thanks to a simple fold-out design and the inclusion of a permanent folding ladder cover pole, which supports the tent structure during poor weather and makes assembly even faster. The tent is built with 380gsm ripstop polycotton canvas and a 420D PU-coated rainfly, finished with our exclusive anti-flap rain-fly system. Unlike standard rooftop tents, this system uses velcro anchors and reinforced fly wings to reduce wind flapping and improve privacy. You can also use 2 or 4 spring poles to tension the fly depending on your conditions.

Panoramic side windows (1.6m x 60cm) provide epic views and airflow, eliminating the need for leaky sunroofs or skylights. Roll-up side awnings give you the flexibility to let in the breeze or enjoy shelter and privacy when needed. An additional ladder cover window has been added for extra ventilation and light.

Inside, you’ll find a 70mm high-density foam mattress with a waterproof underside and cover, along with thoughtful additions like a gear sling, 2 x large shoe pockets, and climbing safety straps. The internal frame features 25mm aluminium poles, lined and fabric-wrapped to prevent dew build-up and internal wear.

For harsh conditions, the curved roof and ladder cover pole add additional weather resistance, while the heavy-duty 1000D PVC travel cover features HD seam seals, velcro closure, easy removal or roll up - no zips to jam or fail. We've also included a monsoon pole, and stainless steel hardware for complete reliability.

The Lucas Creek Rooftop Tent is quiet in the wind, comfortable in the cold, and strong enough to go wherever you do. Whether you’re heading off-road or into the unknown, this tent has your back - season after season.
