Sleep under the stars with the Soplair Star Night soft rooftop tent

Deploy your bivouac in just a few minutes and enjoy a breathtaking view from the roof of your car. Are you tired of sleeping on uncomfortable ground or having to empty the back of your van to free up sleeping space? The Star Night soft rooftop tent solves these issues of freedom and comfort. By elevating your sleeping area, you free yourself from ground moisture, insects and uneven terrain, while freeing up precious space inside your leisure vehicle.

Who is the Star Night rooftop tent designed for and what is it made for?

Ideal for impromptu weekends or long van road trips, this tent designed to accommodate two people attaches to transverse roof bars. It instantly transforms any converted van or car into a true elevated cocoon. Whether you're by the sea or high in the mountains, it provides you with a secure and ventilated shelter.

A tent designed to withstand the elements in comfort

The Star Night stands out for its robust book-fold design. Its main fabric in 320 g/m² polycotton provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, far superior to standard camping tents. To cope with unpredictable weather, it is topped with a polyester rain cover offering a record waterproofing of 10,000 mm. Its manual opening mechanism is assisted by the telescopic ladder, allowing setup without intense physical effort.

Beyond the space saving, comfort is the priority. The integrated high-density foam mattress guarantees restful sleep, while the mosquito nets on all openings allow you to sleep with the windows open without any inconvenience. The operation is smooth: remove the protective cover, pull out the ladder, and your bedroom is ready.

To complete your kit and create a sheltered living space on the ground, you can also consider adding a tailgate rear tent, creating a perfect extension for your outdoor kitchen or shower.

Key features of the Soplair Star Night

Robustness : Built to last, the Star Night uses a blend of polyester and cotton (polycotton) at 320 g/m². This material is particularly resistant to UV rays and abrasion. Unlike thin fabrics, it does not flap in the wind and offers exemplary durability in the harsh weather conditions encountered during your van expeditions.

Simplified installation: Mounting on your vehicle is child's play. It comes with a universal fitting kit compatible with the majority of roof bars (up to 85 mm wide). Once at your bivouac spot, it opens in under 3 minutes. The telescopic aluminium ladder acts as a lever to unfold the structure, ensuring effortless setup.

Versatility : This rooftop tent is not just for large vans. Thanks to its optimised weight of 58.8 kg, it is equally suited to a small van, an SUV or an estate car. It is designed for all seasons: breathable in summer to prevent condensation and protective in winter thanks to its high-performance double roof.

Clever design: Every detail has been designed for the daily life of the vanlifer. Inside you'll find practical storage pockets and an exterior shoe bag to keep your sleeping area clean. Its flat profile when folded (only 32 cm high) minimises wind resistance and excess fuel consumption during your journeys.

Installation and assembly tips

To install your rooftop tent safely, start by checking that your roof bars can support the weight of the tent (minimum 60 kg dynamically). Position the tent centred on the bars for better vehicle balance. Secure the clamping plates making sure the nuts are firmly tightened, but without crushing the bars. Before each departure, systematically check the tension of the PVC protective cover straps. When opening at your spot, make sure the ladder is properly locked and resting on stable ground to support part of the weight of the cantilevered platform.

FAQ (your questions, our answers)

Question 1 : "Can I leave my pillows and duvet inside once the tent is folded up?"

Yes, this is one of the great advantages of this soft model. You can leave your bedding flat inside the tent when closing it, saving you precious time and freeing up storage space in your boot.

Question 2 : "How do you ensure a perfect seal during a night of heavy rain?"

The Star Night is equipped with a double roof in polyester with a PU coating of 10,000 mm. Simply make sure to pull the window awnings taut using the metal rods provided. This allows water to drain away from the main fabric and promotes air circulation to prevent condensation.

Question 3 : "Will my vehicle be able to support my weight in addition to that of the tent?"

It is important to distinguish between the dynamic load (while driving) and the static load (when stationary). Manufacturers often indicate a limit of 75 kg while driving (which covers the 59 kg of the tent). When stationary, the vehicle's structure is capable of supporting considerably more, thus allowing two adults to be accommodated without any risk to the bodywork.
