Feldon Shelter’s 2-Person Rooftop Tent. The Crow’s Nest is up in less time than it takes to boil the billy. A simple pull of the ladder unfolds the ready-to-use tent all by itself. There's a built in queen mattress that tucks your sleeping bag and pillows away inside, saving you valuable car space. An effortless setup for carefree adventures.
The Crow's Nest design has a host of thought out features & innovative materials. This features across the Crows Nest range.
Designed and thoroughly tested over the last 13 years in New Zealand - from Northland’s beaming sun to the howling winds of the deep South, the Crow’s Nest has been rigorously tested amongst it all. Each element has been purposely designed in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions. Now ready to take on anything Australia has to throw at it!
Hmmm, tell me more...
The key features
Feldon Shelter’s uniquely curved roof prevents annoying water pooling and those unsuspecting roof showers. These curves mean smoother aerodynamics so even the strongest of winds are no match. We’ve given extra attention to keep your nest cosy and dry by specially waterproof treating our canvas, using waxed stitching and taping all seams.
With durability and New Zealand’s hard sun in mind, The Crow’s Nest is constructed with our heavy duty, UV resistant, ripstop poly cotton canvas. With double stitching throughout, strong YKK zippers, reinforced aluminium skeleton and industrial stainless hardware, basically, you’re set for many moons to come.
sounds good, carry on...
The finer details

Ample storage is taken care of with external shoe pockets, a multi purpose cargo net, and handy internal storage pockets.

Feldon’s very own built in ErgoCell queen sized mattress comfortably fits two people with enough room to stretch out. Designed to sleep even the tallest adventurer comfortably. There’s nothing like a soft and flat bed to lay on after a long day behind the wheel. You can kiss goodbye those restless nights spent sleeping on rocks and roots.
