Rhino-Rack has introduced a new Low Profile Roof Top Tent built with a focus on lighter weight, quicker setup, and more usable roof space. At 69kg excluding the ladder, it sits slim and low on the roofline while still packing in a range of practical features.

The headline feature is the integrated accessory channels built into the hard top. Rather than a dedicated sleeping space, the tent doubles as a mounting platform, useful for 4WDers already building out their kit with extra lighting for the Simpson or a solar panel setup for extended Kimberley runs.

Setup and pack-down have been prioritised. Gas struts handle opening and closing, and a quick release mounting system comes supplied with brackets for fast installation and removal. For travellers swapping between a roof tent and a canoe on the Murray or a bike rack for High Country weekends, it should slot into most existing touring builds without much fuss.

Inside, dual-side mesh windows keep airflow and visibility sorted, which counts for a lot on warm nights. Integrated LED lighting connects to an external power source with adjustable brightness, and a built-in USB power board handles charging duties for devices or accessories. A dedicated pass-through via the heater tubing port keeps cabling tidy when wired into a vehicle or canopy battery system, a detail that matters on longer runs.

A dedicated heat tubing port and internal lighting channels support all-season use, handy for seasonal trips through the Vic High Country or Snowy Mountains. Ladder mounting points on both the side and rear provide flexible access to suit different vehicle setups. Inside there’s an organiser with multiple storage pockets plus a clear pocket sized for a tablet.

Boot bags on the outside keep muddy footwear out of the sleeping area after a day on the snotty tracks around Moreton Island or the Flinders Ranges, and a 70mm double-layer mattress rounds out the package.

The Low Profile Roof Top Tent from Rhino-Rack ships as a complete kit with the tent, ladder, mounting system, and all hardware and tools needed for installation.
