That frees up room in the vehicle and keeps your bedding clean and dust free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSleeping comfort\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80mm mattress (2.13m long × 1.28m wide) is 40mm of medium-density foam on top for comfort, over a 40mm high-density foam base for a firm foundation that resists bottoming out. It sits in a removable, zippered canvas cover on a thermal marine carpet underlay designed to help reduce condensation under the mattress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e six roof pouches, four large canvas side pouches and two canvas water bottle pockets.

All six doors and windows have an external canvas storm door, midge mesh and an internal canvas door, and every canvas door and mesh panel has YKK spiral zips. Together they give about 5m² of ventilation, and you can adjust the internal canvas doors from inside the tent to control airflow without opening the midge mesh screens. A mesh-covered vent above the rear door keeps air moving when everything else is zipped shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn hot nights, open the doors and windows for a through-breeze and a panoramic view. A main rainfly covers the front entrance and both sides, and a smaller one covers the rear window, both held out on 8mm spring steel poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy the rainflies matter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry entry and exit:\u003c\/strong\u003e they cover the ladder and entryways, so you can get in and out without getting soaked or bringing dripping water inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra weather protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e they add another layer against heavy rain and stop water pooling against the main canvas or doorways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirflow in wet weather:\u003c\/strong\u003e they shield the openings, so windows and vents can stay cracked open without rain splashing in, which also helps keep condensation down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMade for Australian conditions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is B-Tech\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Alloy extruded aluminium with reinforced, welded corners and stainless steel hinges, latches and handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is dual-layer 315gsm ±5% acrylic-treated polyester ripstop canvas, treated against mould, mildew and UV. The air gap between the two layers works a bit like double glazing: it insulates better against heat and cold and cuts condensation build-up on the inside walls. It also makes the fabric blackout, which adds weather resistance and keeps the tent darker at sunrise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomotive-grade rubber seals around both the upper and lower lids keep the closed tent dust free and watertight.
