Premium Materials and Manufacturing

For over 30 years, James Baroud has been designing some of the most reliable roof top tents in the world. All materials are selected and manufactured exclusively in Europe to ensure uncompromising quality and exceptional longevity.

Hard shells are manufactured in Milan, Italy, while fabrics come from the Netherlands. NASA uses these same fabrics in aerospace applications. Seams are sewn with German Gütermann threads, and each tent is hand-assembled in Porto, Portugal. The result is a premium finish backed by a full 5-year warranty.

Fiberglass Hard Shell Construction of the hard shell roof top tent

The four-layer fiberglass shell is engineered to handle the harshest climates. It resists snow, heavy rain, strong winds, and intense heat. The gelcoat provides long-lasting UV protection, even after years of exposure.

An integrated solar fan ensures continuous airflow, effectively reducing condensation day and night. In addition, self-locking latches improve safety when driving on trails or rough roads.

Breathable Aluminized Fabric

The patented aluminized fabric reflects solar rays while remaining breathable. This keeps the interior cooler in summer and limits moisture during cold nights.

The 180° panoramic openings of the hard shell roof top tent provide excellent visibility, while durable mosquito screens protect effectively against insects. Silent, rugged rubberized zippers complete the setup.

Comfort and Integrated Features

The Space XL includes a 65 mm high-density mattress for restful sleep, even on long trips. Smart storage spaces, a rechargeable portable LED light, and a sturdy ladder complete the setup for a no-compromise family experience.

Compatibility and Uses of the large roof top tent

The James Baroud Space XL is compatible with most standard roof bars and racks (typical dynamic load rating of 75 kg). It also accepts James Baroud awnings, annexes, and four-season insulation kits.

Finally, it integrates perfectly into a complete off-grid setup with a diesel heater, solar panels, or power stations, whether mounted on SUVs, vans, or overland trucks.

Practical Tips for Canada

For optimal use, make sure the vehicle is level on soft ground and activate the solar fan in humid conditions. On road trips, use the interior space to free up room inside the vehicle. On long expeditions, adding an anti-condensation mat will further maximize comfort, even in a Canadian winter.
