Hawk's Nest Model Guide

This low-profile Hawk's Nest V2 offers the thinnest tent shell in the series. The only compromise is slightly less sleeping space when packed. See the standard model for a higher shell option.

Easy setup and adventure

Simply open two easy-to-use lockable latches and let the marine-grade stainless steel gas struts do the rest. Hawk's Nest V2 can be fully installed in under 30 seconds, making it one of the easiest rooftop options on the market.

A portable telescoping ladder and two ladder entry options are always available for easy access no matter your vehicle or campsite setup.

Low profile and highly customizable

Carry all your essentials above with a variety of tent-mounted rack options, including a wide range of tie-down, cargo securing and gear mounting accessories.

Heavy-duty marine-grade stainless steel gas struts allow you to store up to 30kg of gear on top during deployment and camping. This means you spend less time removing gear and more time having fun. The modular design doesn't end there, with multiple accessory mounting T-tracks around the entire perimeter and top of the aluminum shell for adding awnings, camp lights, shoe pockets, and more.

Inside, you'll find fully insulated panels and a convenient overhead cargo storage system.

Designed and proven for harsh New Zealand conditions

From the intense sunshine of Northland to the winds and rain of the South, Hawk's Nest has been rigorously tested in every environment to prove it is a true four-season rooftop home, with every element developed here in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions.

Crafted from Feldon Shelter's trusted New Zealand-spec X-Canvas, the Hawk's Nest tent body and rainfly are built to last. Other materials used, including Japanese-made YKK zippers, European-made COATS thread (the same durable thread used in boat sails), and New Zealand-made bungee cords, ensure long-lasting reliability. All seams are face-down and heat-sealed to ensure waterproofness even in the harshest environments. This gives you the confidence to tackle even the toughest expeditions and in all conditions.

Feldon Shelter's exclusive ErgoCell dual-stage mattress provides ample sleeping space for two, so after a long drive you can relax on a soft, dry, flat bed, eliminating the need to sleep on rocks or tree roots.

• Vehicle Requirements : Both the vehicle and roof rack system must have a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg.

The Hawk's Nest series rooftop tents are ideal for large SUVs, 4x4s and vans.

Note for double cab utes :
You'll need a roof rack or platform that can be fitted with a suitable canopy - you can't fit both the body and the canopy/tray at the same time, and the cab itself on utes often doesn't have enough length for the installation.

Good news ! If you need a roof rack, we carry and install many of the major brands. If you have any questions about roof racks or your vehicle, feel free to contact us here .
