Now, if you fancy something a little more ... posh (as tents go) and you have a vehicle that is able to carry it then the THRE360 Swing Away Tent is for you. This tent, much like its little brother carries gives low level easy access but with a few more tricks up its sleeve.
The THRE360 is a much heavier tent, weighing in at a little over 60 kg does carry a lot more bulk but with that it is a complete 4 season tent. Built with premium, durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, 320 gsm ripstop polyester for the main shell and 600D polyester Oxford, PU coating, W/P, W/R 5000 mm, UV 50+ rainfly. In simple terms, it's built to endure everything you can throw at it. As well as all of these fancy materials, it also benefits from 6 carbon fibre telescopic legs, allowing more opportunity to camp on some wicked terrain.
On the inside, it features a 50mm memory foam mattress, fully black out interior, LED lights for storage pockets. If you want to bring the outside inside then open up the 4 huge windows (equipped with fly nets) and open up the skylight to really give yourself thats THRE360 (360 degree) experience.
If you've read this far then your probably building the dream in your head. Unfortunately there are some drawbacks. You need a bigger vehicle such as a proper 4x4 (sorry no small family SUV's) or a medium size or larger van. The reason for this is because of how the tent is attached to the rear of your vehicle. You will need either a 2 inch receiver or a TOWBAR, not to be mistaken with your standard towball. If you have all of these then you are good to go.
If you have a towbar you will need to purchase our towbar to 2 inch receiver adapter at a minimum. If you have a 2 inch receiver you technically buy the THRE360 swing away tent from our website and your good to go. However, we do recommend that customers purchase one of our swing away arms. This helps with access to the rear doors of your vehicle, making life much easier. This is necessary but we do recommend it.
