An innovative towbar-mounted tent that sets a new standard in outdoor living
Camping in and around our beautiful country should be top of your wanderlust list, and is the perfect way to unplug and take in the simplicity of nature.
The new Thule Outset tent marks yet another product added to the Thule adventure camping portfolio. It’s the first tent on the market to easily mount directly on the towbar of your vehicle for quick installation and spontaneous getaways. Tailored for comfort and designed for adventure, this product expands the range of Thule products designed for the back of your car
For quick and easy getaways…
Mounting the tent on your car’s towbar is easy and only requires one person. Simply wheel the tent to your vehicle, attach it to the towbar and pull the handle down to secure it, then lock it into place. Once at your destination, setting up the tent just takes a couple of minutes. If you want to head for a quick trip with your vehicle once the tent is set up, simply detach it from your vehicle.
Home away from home…
With panoramic views and a spacious interior, the tent is a comfortable place to sleep and hang out for you and your family. Durable construction ensures the tent can withstand the elements, while the plush mattress provides the comfort of your bed at home. Rigorous testing in the world-class Thule testing facility includes tests conducted in rain and wind chambers as well as city crash tests to ensure safety when driving. Elevated from the ground, Thule Outset provides a great camping environment free from the inconvenience of mud, bugs, or uneven terrain. Raised to the same height as your bed at home, this tent is easy to get in and out of, ensuring easy access for everyone.
Minimal impact
This tent marks yet another solution Thule has developed in the past two years for the back of your vehicle. The aerodynamic rear location of the tent means less impact on your fuel economy or battery range. It’s also a way of freeing up space on your roof for other gear or ensuring you can still go on memorable adventures even if your vehicle’s roof can’t handle a heavy load.
Pushing the boundaries of adventure design…
The birth of an innovation often begins with a spark of inspiration. For Thule Outset, that spark was a desire to revolutionise camping solutions. Marketing Manager at Thule SA, Jamie Owen, explains, ”Thule wanted to create a completely new way to camp, something that turns an everyday vehicle into a luxury adventure vehicle. At Thule, design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating practical, strong, and dependable products. The Thule design language involves strong forms and crisp transitions. That’s why the tent’s design features, accentuated edges, and articulated shapes communicate both strength and softness.”
If you’re an enthusiastic camper it could be time to ditch your tent on the cold, muddy ground and elevate your camping experience!
The Thule Outset will be available mid August online at www.thulestore.co.za and selected Thule stockists.
