01 / Structural sandwich shells

Strong like a structure. Light like a core.

Both the top and bottom shells use carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer face sheets bonded around a closed-cell PMI structural foam core. The carbon skins carry tension and compression, while the lightweight core keeps those skins separated, stabilizes them against buckling, and carries shear through the panel.

Separating the carbon skins dramatically increases bending stiffness without requiring a heavy solid laminate. The closed-cell PMI core also interrupts heat flow through the shell, helping the roof and sleeping platform act as a thermal barrier as well as a structural enclosure.

High stiffness-to-weightSandwich geometry creates a rigid panel while controlling rooftop mass.
Insulated top and bottomPMI cores are built into both shells, not only the roof lid.
Low-profile strengthA structural sleeping platform and aerodynamic upper shell in one integrated system.
Carbon skinsResist tension and compression when the panel bends.
PMI structural coreCarries shear, stabilizes the skins, and adds thickness with very little mass.
Closed-cell insulationReduces direct heat transfer through both structural shells.

02 / Weather-responsive construction

Stitched all around. Engineered to tighten when wet.

The tent fabric is continuously stitched around its perimeter. Its clean exterior does not depend on an exposed, applied seam-sealant bead. RoamLabX SEAL Stitch Technology uses a water-swellable corespun thread: a strong polyester core is wrapped with absorbent fibers that expand when exposed to water, helping fill the needle holes and tighten the seam path.

Because the sealing action is integrated into the stitching itself, there is no conventional exterior seam-sealant bead to dry out, crack, peel, or separate over time. This removes a common long-term maintenance and leakage concern associated with surface-applied seam treatments.

An anti-wicking thread construction also helps limit capillary water travel along the seam. The result is a clean-looking stitched assembly designed for durable weather resistance and long service life.

SEAL Stitch Technology removes the need for a conventional exposed seam-sealant bead and improves seam weather resistance. Correct installation, drainage, fabric care, and routine inspection remain important for any outdoor product.

03 / Invisible fabric-management structure

The fabric knows where to go.

The support and fabric-management structure is integrated inside the tent body, so opening and closing do not become a wrestling match with loose, wrinkled material.

OPEN

Give it a gentle push.

The assisted structure lifts and guides the tent into its deployed shape with minimal effort.

DEPLOY

Fabric settles in place.

Integrated tension and hidden organization features position the sidewalls cleanly instead of leaving folds to sort by hand.

CLOSE

Pull down and lock.

Lower the top shell; the fabric organizes inward as the tent closes. Secure the two locking straps and you are ready to travel.

Nothing loose. Nothing messy.

Instead of stopping to tuck loose walls around the perimeter, the concealed structure guides the fabric inward during closure. The system is designed for a simple sequence: pull the top down, confirm the fabric is contained, and lock the shell.

Two independent locking strapsEach strap is rated to 150 lb, providing two secure closure points for travel.
One-person operationGentle assisted deployment and a straightforward pull-down closing motion.

Product specifications

Built for real interior access and real sleeping space.

The system is designed around a clean interior hatch opening, a two-adult sleeping platform, and four-season component construction.

Temperature Rating -21°F / -29°C The tent components are rated down to -21°F (-29°C). For camping in temperatures that low, we strongly recommend ducting a heater into the tent to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature.
Opening Size 700 mm × 450 mm / 27.6" × 17.7" The interior entry opening is sized for clean access from inside the van.
Sleeping Area 1.25 m × 2.0 m / 49.2" × 78.7" The spacious sleeping platform comfortably accommodates two adults.

04 / Patented all-season fabric system

A thermal cutoff between you and the weather.

RoamLabX uses a proprietary, patented tent fabric selected to resist mold growth and reduce condensation-related discomfort while creating a meaningful thermal break around the sleeping space.

Mold resistant

Materials are selected to discourage mold growth in the damp, temperature-changing conditions common to vehicle camping.

Condensation resistant

The fabric system helps manage the cold-surface effect that contributes to interior condensation. Ventilation is still essential in humid conditions.

Thermal cutoff

The fabric body works with the PMI-insulated upper and lower shells to reduce direct thermal bridging around the sleeping compartment.

Four-season ready

A weather-focused enclosure engineered for hot sun, cool nights, shoulder seasons, and serious year-round travel.

Product support

Frequently asked questions.

Does the tent include the required edge trim?

Yes. The required edge trim is included with the tent for a clean, finished installation.

How long does shipping take?

Orders typically ship within 5–7 business days.

Does the tent include a ladder?

No. The tent does not include a ladder. A compatible telescoping ladder can easily be purchased on Amazon for around $100 USD.

Can I open and close the tent from inside the van?

Yes. The tent can be deployed, closed, and accessed through the included interior entry hatch, providing greater comfort, privacy, and security without requiring an exterior ladder.

What is the total system weight?

The complete tent system weighs approximately 150 lb without the roof rack, depending on configuration and installed accessories.

Can a roof-top ventilation fan be installed in the carbon-fiber shell?

Yes. A properly sized opening can be made in the carbon-fiber sandwich panel for a compatible roof fan. Because this modifies a structural composite panel, layout, reinforcement, edge sealing, wiring, load clearance, and waterproofing should be evaluated and completed by a qualified professional. Contact RoamLabX before cutting to confirm the approved location and installation requirements.

Installation

Engineered for a straightforward professional installation.

The installation process is comparable to installing a roof fan and a roof rack. An experienced pop-top or roof-top tent installation shop can typically complete the work in approximately 3 hours; a qualified shop installing the system for the first time should allow approximately 5 hours.

Entry hatch included

The system includes an interior entry hatch, allowing occupants to enter the tent directly from inside the van.

Rib-safe roof cutout

The hatch cutout is engineered to fit between the Sprinter’s first and second ceiling ribs. No structural roof rib needs to be cut or damaged.

Factory roof-rail mounting

The tent body bolts to the Sprinter’s factory roof-rail mounting system for a clean, vehicle-specific installation.

Typical installation time

Approximately 3 hours for an experienced tent installer, or approximately 5 hours for a qualified shop completing its first installation.

Installation times are estimates and may vary with vehicle configuration, installer experience, interior finishing, wiring, sealant curing requirements, and optional accessories. Professional installation is recommended.
