Crow's Nest Family Tent
The Crow's Nest Family Tent includes all the features/equipment of the Crow's Nest Regular Tent, plus unique features and cutting-edge materials.
Crow's Nest Family (2 adults, 3 children, 1 dog rooftop tent) features:
- The tent extension and rainfly cover the ladder entrance, providing shelter. The tent extension also has windows and mesh openings, allowing you to enjoy panoramic views of nature.
- Feldon Shelter's original windows offer not only a 360-degree panoramic view but also an aerodynamic design that provides excellent safety in strong winds.
- Feldon Shelter's original honeycomb cell structure achieves approximately 3 times the strength of a typical rooftop tent, offering excellent impact resistance.
- Feldon Shelter's original durable storage space (net type) in the base is ideal as an extra space for drying wet camping gear.
- Feldon Shelter's original dome-shaped roof design provides ample internal height compared to typical rooftop tents. This prevents rainwater from accumulating on the roof and, with its aerodynamic design, offers excellent wind resistance.
- Feldon Shelter's original storage pockets for shoes and small items (equipped in the base) are convenient for extra space. They protect dirty shoes from rain and wind. The bottom of these storage pockets has a breathable design, making them ideal for drying wet shoes.
- Feldon Shelter's original pocket-stored spring poles (equipped in the base) make access even easier. You won't have to worry about misplacing your spring poles.
- Durable PVC travel cover. Areas requiring high durability are reinforced with 3-layer panels. Feldon Shelter's original roll-up storage system is used.
- All internal tent frames are made of aluminum, and hinges and fixtures use marine-grade stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and superior strength. No plastic is used.
- Larger hinges than typical rooftop tents allow mattresses and pillows to be stored inside the tent while driving.
- Internal storage pockets for small items like snacks, phones, and flashlights.
- Easy installation/removal and transfer to another vehicle with easy-to-use hand tools and mounting hardware.
- High-density foam ErgoCell mattress (60mm thick). Removable 100% cotton mattress cover, waterproof polyester ripstop fabric on the bottom, and waterproof treatment in the corners to prevent moisture from condensation. Comfortable for tall individuals (approx. 2m).
- Adjustable retractable stainless steel ladder. Extension ladders for larger vehicles are also sold as an option. - Uses durable YKK fasteners.
- Uses New Zealand marine-grade 316 stainless steel eyelets.
- Secure cable connection from the car with highly sealed power outlets using Velcro.
- Equipped with insect screens on windows, doors, and vents.
- Insect screens on windows and doors can be opened and closed with zippers.
- High-strength 40mm straps (with Velcro and marine-grade stainless steel D-rings). - Bag with spare fabric (convenient for repairing tents, rainflies, and mesh).
NEW ZEALAND
Camping in New Zealand, where pristine nature remains, has its challenges (which can also be seen as favorable conditions for designing and developing tents). New Zealand is often described as having "four seasons in one day." With its long, narrow landmass, neighboring countries call it the country with the most diverse weather conditions in the world. This country, with all its weather conditions, is truly ideal for rooftop tent development.
Strong sunlight, wind, snow, and heavy rain. The rooftop tents developed by Feldon Shelter at their factory in New Zealand over many years not only boast durability against the worst weather conditions but also provide solutions that allow everyone to easily enjoy the outdoors.
Feldon Shelter's unique dome-shaped roof prevents water from pooling on the roof and prevents leaks from the roof. The curve of the roof is also aerodynamically superior and boasts high wind resistance.
To ensure comfort inside the tent, particular attention has been paid to waterproofing, with a special waterproof treatment applied to the canvas and taped seams using waxed thread to achieve higher sealing performance.
Also, considering New Zealand's strong sunlight, the Crow's Nest tent uses ripstop fabric made of a polyester/cotton blend, resulting in a product with excellent UV resistance and durability. Reinforced double stitching and sturdy YKK zippers are used throughout the product, and an aluminum reinforced frame and marine-grade stainless steel hardware ensure high long-term durability.
This rooftop tent, which boasts the highest quality in the market, is equipped with carefully selected, cutting-edge safety features. Ample storage space is ensured with storage pockets (for shoes and small items) in the base of the tent, ceiling storage straps, and convenient internal storage pockets. A lightweight retractable stainless steel ladder, easy-to-use one-touch hand tools, and ample ventilation functions allow for comfortable camping and full enjoyment of adventures.
Feldon Shelter's originally developed queen-size high-density foam ErgoCell mattress (60mm thick) is large enough for two adults to rest comfortably. Even very tall individuals will find ample comfortable space.
The bottom, sides, and corners of the mattress are excellently waterproofed. Rest comfortably on the soft, cozy bed and recover from the day's journey. Lack of sleep caused by uneven ground or rocks will be completely resolved.
Installation Method and Details
It can be installed on any vehicle, from small 2-door hatchbacks to robust large trucks. While the tent installation itself is very simple, it's important to consider which side the tent will open to. The entrance to the tent can be positioned at the rear, side, or front of the vehicle. Once that's decided, all that's needed is a roof rack (or carrier) with a dynamic load capacity of 75kg or more.
However, for tall vehicles (where the height from the ground to the top of the roof rack is 2m or more), a separate extension ladder is required.
The maximum load capacity of the Crow's Nest rooftop tent is 300kg. Product Specifications
Tent: 360g polyester/cotton blend ripstop canvas, waterproof, mildew-resistant, antibacterial treated. High-grade 150g insect mesh, developed for the harshest conditions in NZ, is waterproof & weather resistant.
Rainfly: Polyester diamond ripstop fabric X canvas (420D). Waterproof, mildew-resistant, UV, and antibacterial treated.
Travel Cover: 2000 denier reinforced PVC. Triple reinforced panels in high-wear areas. Constructed with coated UV thread (used in yacht sails).

※The minimum distance for mounting positions of the front and rear bars (or both ends of the roof platform) of the required roof rack is 1100mm.
The total height including the ladder, tent cover, and base is approximately 40cm,
but if there is a step at the entrance of a garage or similar, the angle will change,
so please allow for an extra 5cm to 10cm when calculating the installation height.
Recommended installation calculation: Current vehicle height + 45cm to 50cm
※Only the Family size includes the bonus room under the tent.
Please choose from three types.
※Although some black colored poles are shown inside the tent, these have been discontinued and only silver is currently available.

Complete Guide to Choosing a Rooftop Tent 
The "real story" of load capacity and how to choose, taught by pros
For those considering the Crow's Nest Family
Q. Who is the Crow's Nest Family suitable for?
A. It is suitable for those who want to use it with family or who want ample interior space. If the Regular/Extended models feel like a double bed, the Family model is for those who seek king-size level spaciousness.
Q. What are the differences from the Regular or Extended models?
A. The biggest difference is the interior space. The Regular prioritizes ease of use, the Extended focuses on rain protection around the entrance and usability, and the Family model emphasizes space. The Family model is ideal when sleeping with children or when you want ample room for bedding and luggage.
Q. Is a bonus room included?
A. The Crow's Nest Family comes standard with a bonus room. While bonus rooms can be added to other Crow's Nest models, the Family is the only one that includes it from the start. It is suitable for those who want to expand their use of the space under the tent, such as for changing clothes, luggage storage, or as a temporary space on rainy days.
Q. Does the Family size require pegging down?
A. The Family model may require pegging down depending on the situation, especially to properly tension the extended rain shelter. It's safer to assume pegging down will be necessary, especially on windy days or if you want the entrance area to be neatly tensioned.
Q. What are the advantages of choosing the Family size?
A. The advantages are space and the versatility of use, including the bonus room. It allows for more comfort not only for two adults but also when used with children, or when you want to keep bedding and luggage inside. It's for those who prioritize a comfortable stay until morning, rather than just whether they can sleep in it.
Q. Do I need to pay attention to the weight?
A. Yes, you do. The Crow's Nest Family weighs approximately 70kg, so please be sure to check your vehicle manufacturer's official roof load capacity, the rack weight, and the tent body weight. It's important to check not only the rack but also whether the vehicle can safely support it while driving.
Q. What kind of rack is needed for installation?
A. A crossbar, roof rack, or flat rack suitable for your vehicle is required. The Family size has considerable weight and dimensions, so please check not only the rack's load capacity but also your vehicle manufacturer's official load capacity.
Q. How should I handle it on rainy days or during the rainy season?
A. It's important not to leave it closed for extended periods if it's wet after use. After rain or during humid periods, open it on a sunny day to air it out and ensure it dries thoroughly.
Q. What if I don't know if it fits my car?
A. It's easier to check if you know your vehicle's make, model year, grade, whether it has roof rails, the rack you plan to install, and the height of your usual parking garage. If you are unsure, please consult us before purchasing.
