Tuff Stuff Alpha II Rooftop Tent – Compact. Comfortable. Trail-Ready.

Ready to escape the ordinary weekend? The Tuff Stuff Alpha II Rooftop Tent is your go-anywhere, setup-in-seconds basecamp designed specifically for smaller vehicles like Subarus, crossovers, and compact SUVs. Whether you're venturing off-grid or just pulling off the highway to catch a sunrise, the Alpha II packs rugged durability and comfort into a sleek, low-profile shell.

Don’t let its size fool you—this is a hard-shell rooftop tent built for four seasons, with room for two and features that rival much bigger setups. It’s the perfect solution for adventurers who want overland performance without a full-blown expedition rig.


Why the Alpha II Is the Best Rooftop Tent for Small Rigs

Compact Footprint, Full-Size Adventure
With open dimensions of nearly 80 inches long and a plush 2.5" thick memory foam mattress, this tent comfortably sleeps two without weighing down your vehicle. And when packed, it’s just under 60 inches wide—perfect for smaller SUVs and wagons.

Fast Setup in Under 2 Minutes
No poles, no stress. The gas-assisted lift opens in seconds. You’ll be stargazing while others are still untangling guy lines.

All-Season Toughness
Made from heavy-duty 280G poly-cotton ripstop fabric and equipped with a 5000mm waterproof-rated rainfly, the Alpha II can handle rain, wind, and cold with ease. Pair that with an ABS hard shell and aluminum honeycomb floor, and you’ve got a tent ready for all four seasons.

Skylight + 3 Mesh Windows = Epic Views
Gaze at the stars through the built-in moon roof, let fresh air in through the screened windows, and zip on the awnings for shade or rain protection. It’s ventilation and visibility without sacrificing shelter.

Built-In LED Lighting, Inside and Out
Whether you're winding down or gearing up before dawn, the Alpha II’s amber and white LED strips (just plug in your USB power pack) provide the perfect light inside and out.

Where will your next overnight adventure take you?
With the Tuff Stuff Alpha II Rooftop Tent, you're always one quick setup away from a comfortable, elevated night under the stars—whether you're deep in the woods or parked by the beach.

Important

The ALPHA II™ tent is designed to open to the passenger side ONLY

The Alpha Shell is made of ABS material which will react (expand/contract) with the heat and cold temperatures. It is perfectly normal to notice changes in the roof or the spacing between the shell and the floor.

If you have experienced any large temperature changes in your area, this is most likely the case and is not a cause for alarm. It has no impact on the tent's performance.
