DESIGNED FOR & PROVEN IN NZ'S HARSHEST CONDITIONS

From Northland’s beaming sun to the howling winds & rain of the deep South, the Hawk’s Nest has been rigorously tested and proven amongst it all to create a true 4-seasons rooftop home. With each element being purposely developed here in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions.

With downward facing, heat sealed seams throughout, the Hawk’s Nest is designed to be weatherproof in even the most extreme conditions. Giving you the confidence to go further and tackle it all.

Feldon Shelter’s very own built in ErgoCell dual stage mattress comfortably fits two people with enough room to stretch out. There’s nothing like a soft, dry 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.

ROOF RACK & VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

Roof Rack Requirements: 3-Bar Roof Rack System OR Roof Platform with a minimum of 6 Mounting Points to your vehicles roof. 

The spacing between the front & rear roof rack (or for roof platforms, the front & rear mounting points) should be no less than 900mm.

Vehicle Requirements: Both your vehicle & roof rack system require a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg or more.

The Hawk's Nest range of rooftop tents is well suited to larger SUV's, 4x4's and vans.

A quick note for most Double Cab Utes: A load capable canopy with suitable canopy mounted roof racks (or platform) is generally required. The tent cannot be mounted both to the utes cab and canopy/tray at the same time, due to their individual flex on the chassis. The ute cab itself also usually does not offer enough mounting length.

Good news! If you require suitable roof racks, we stock and install most leading brands. For all roof rack and vehicle questions, feel free to get in touch with us here.
