TentBox has cut £200 off its Lite XL (2025) roof tent, bringing the price down from £1,999 to £1,799. The model, which attaches to the roof of almost any vehicle, is described as a 'sleeping pod' that provides a comfortable and safe sleeping space elevated from the ground.
The design allows for quick and easy setup and pack-down, keeping users off the ground away from wet or uneven surfaces and wildlife. With an elevated design, shoppers can enjoy views as well as better ventilation. The TentBoxes come with fitted mattresses, saving time and effort during camping trips.
Popular Choice for Flexible Camping
These roof tents are popular because they provide the flexibility to camp anywhere a vehicle can go, without needing to find a flat piece of grass to pitch a ground tent. Because the TentBox packs neatly away on the vehicle's roof, it can leave more space inside the car for other camping gear. With a built-in foam mattress, the pods offer comfort, privacy, and security.
Limited stock is available, and the TentBox is said to be 'selling fast' according to the website. It sleeps four, with a super-king mattress that 'comfortably sleeps four adults'. It is described as ideal for families, pets, and for anyone who 'likes extra space'. It opens manually in around five minutes using a simple fold-out system.
Shopper Reviews and Ratings
The TentBox comes with double skylights and a removable rainfly with a 'refined layout' that feels roomy and comfortable. Online, shoppers have rated the TentBox 4.9 out of 5 in product reviews.
One happy shopper said: "We are absolutely in love with our tent box, and our two dogs love it too - it is cosy, safe & spacious. It has enriched our life so much and given us so much freedom. Love love love."
A second review read: "If you're in doubt, don't be! We absolutely adore our TB XL. Yes, it's expensive...but it is well worth it. We cannot recommend it enough."
A third fan added: "Amazing. Very roomy inside and easy to put up and store away. Wish I could go on a permanent adventure with our TentBox. So happy with it."
A fourth shopper said: "Absolutely amazing thing. Before my wife hated camping due to hard sleeping and cold, but now she loves it more than I do I think. Love it and 100% recommend to everybody."
Alternative Options and Considerations
For a smaller, cheaper option, the TentBox GO is priced at £999 and sleeps two. It is described as the 'easiest to store' and arrives flat-packed. It takes 60 minutes to set up, with a built-in skylight so you can stargaze from your bed. A ladder is also included.
Elsewhere, for a classic tent option, Argos is selling the Pro Action 2 Person 1 Room Dome Tent for £25. It comes in a lightweight dome design, making it ideal for weekend breaks. Over on the Decathlon website, the Quechua 6 Man Camping Living Area tent has been reduced to £99.99 and is described as 'easy to set up'.
While TentBox holds a high overall shopping review rating, negative reviews and common user complaints focus on vehicle impact, physical weight during installation, and wind noise.
