Transform your vehicle into an all-terrain bed with the Eclipse hybrid rooftop tent

Escape without compromise and rediscover the freedom of bivouacking. Are you tired of sleeping cramped in your vehicle or of the discomfort of ground tents on damp terrain? The hybrid rooftop tent Eclipse provides a concrete solution to your need for space and peace of mind. It instantly transforms your roof into a true panoramic bedroom, sheltering you from insects and ground moisture while offering a breathtaking view of your favourite spots.

A tent for all vehicles

Whether you drive an SUV, a panel van or a converted campervan, this tent is the ideal extension of your nomadic living space. It is perfect for small families or couples looking for superior comfort during their stops in the great outdoors. If you need more ground-level living space at the rear of your vehicle, you can also opt for a universal tailgate rear tent to complete your setup.

A sturdy tent that will shelter you from the rain

The Eclipse stands out thanks to its hybrid design: it combines the protection of an ultra impact-resistant rigid ABS and PC shell with the spaciousness of a manually deployed tent. Its 320 g/m² polycotton canvas ensures exceptional breathability, preventing condensation, while its polyester rain protection offers a record waterproofing rating of 10,000 mm.

Key features of the Soplair Eclipse

Robustness

Designed to withstand the elements, the upper shell is made from ABS reinforced with polycarbonate (PC). This combination offers superior resistance to UV rays and impacts, while effectively protecting the canvas once folded away. Its structure can support a maximum load of 300 kg, ensuring perfect stability during your nights in the great outdoors.

Simplified installation

No need to be a DIY expert to enjoy life on the road. The Eclipse fits onto standard transverse roof bars. It is delivered ready to use with a 2.30 m aluminium telescopic ladder and its full fixing kit. Switching from "road" mode to "night" mode is effortless, making your daily travels easier.

Versatility

Its compatibility with the majority of vehicles (cars, 4x4s, vans) makes it a lasting investment. Whether you are heading off for a mountain weekend or a road trip along the coast, it adapts to your style of travel. Its neutral and understated grey design blends elegantly with any bodywork without compromising the aesthetics of your vehicle.

Smart design

Every detail has been designed with nomadic comfort in mind: two exterior shoe bags to keep the inside clean, internal storage pockets for your personal belongings, and even a cable pass-through for your electrical equipment. The window system with lateral awnings allows you to keep the openings active even in light rain, promoting constant ventilation.

Installation and assembly tips

To install your Soplair Eclipse rooftop tent safely, start by checking the maximum permitted load on your vehicle's roof and the capacity of your roof bars (these must support the weight of the tent plus that of the occupants). Position the tent centred on your transverse bars for optimal balance. Secure the provided clamping brackets around the bars and tighten firmly. During the first deployment, make sure the ladder is correctly engaged on the ground to serve as structural support for the deployed section of the tent.

FAQ Section

Question 1: Can I fit this tent on any vehicle?

The Eclipse tent is compatible with the majority of vehicles fitted with transverse roof bars. However, as its net weight is 87 kg, it is essential to check in your manufacturer's manual that your roof can accept this load in "dynamic" mode (while driving).

Question 2: How do you ensure a perfect seal and avoid mould?

The tent has a rain protection rating of 10,000 mm, which is exceptional. For maximum durability, always make sure to let the tent dry before closing it for an extended period. If you need to fold it away in the rain, open it as soon as possible to let it dry. The use of an anti-condensation mat (available as an option) is recommended for cool climates.

Question 3: What is the difference compared to a standard soft-shell rooftop tent?

The Eclipse hybrid model offers the best of both worlds: the protection and aerodynamics of a rigid shell during transport, and the vast interior volume of a soft tent once open. It is more durable and quicker to clean than a fully soft tent.
