23Zero Panther 1600 Hard Shell Rooftop Tent

G'day Sarah,

There are a range of self inflating mats you can put into the panther, but they need to be removed for pack up as they can't fold away with the tent.
If you're happy with that option, there are a few Queen mats that would fit the space well here.

G'day Kevin,

35kg is the maximum weight to mount ontop of the roof top tent to still allow it to open and close supported by the gas struts.
Hope that helps!

G'day Luke,

The only thing we really have to go off here is customer feedback, and in this case we havent had any complaints.
Everyone we know who has a Panther has loved it so far.
If you're expecting a fair bit of wind, the key is going to be as much about how you orient you vehicle and set your tent up to minimise the disturbance.
I think if you're mindful of that, you shouldnt have too many issues.

G'day Athey,

23 Zero designs their products in Australia and manufactures the products in China.

G'day Ramon,

I've just spoken to 23Zero on this one as we havent had much feedback from customers from this kind of touring specifically.
They've said you'll likely get alittle bit of dust around the outside on the bottom edge of the canvas where is attaches to the base, but nothing more than that.  The seal is pretty good, and anything that might get through that is stopped by than canvas skirt edge.
Hope that helps.

Yes, there is now the Panther Change Room Annexe and the Panther Privacy Shelter available from 23Zero!

G'day Johnno,

As long as your roof racks allow it, the rooftop tent can be mounted any way you like - opening to either side, or the rear.

G'day Dean,

We've given the dimensions & space to consider with the mounting rails on another question:

The tracks are 79cm long, and measure 90cm apart from the center of each track.

So something like the Hard Korr 170W Fixed Panel would work, but you'd need to source some solar brackets of compatible mounting brackets from your local hardware.  The Panther rails have channels similar to standard roof racks.

G'day Mal,

Centre to centre on the mounting rails is 80cm.
Hope that helps & fingers cross it will work for your trailer, sounds great!

G'day Karina,

You can remove the mattress, I'd say it would be more that 600g.  Not sure how functional this would be though, as the mattress is not a roll up type, or one designed to be packed away.  It is in two connected pieces to account for the tent folding up, but I think it would be a challenge.  The doorway windows on the roof top tent are narrow and the mattress doesn't easily pull out through them - especially when you're having to do that on top of a ladder.

It may be worth considering a different option that weighs less, ideally not a hardshell option as these tend to be a lot heavier.

G'day Denis,

The tracks are 79cm long, and measure 90cm apart from the center of each track.
Hope that helps.

G'day Jason,

The ladder is attached by bolts and packs up with the rooftop tent.
It's also the main mechanism for setting up and packing away the tent, so generally wouldn't be removed.
Hope the helps.

G'day Romy,

Given that the Panther fully folds in on itself, it's not suitable for use with a self-inflating mattress as these cannot be packed away with the tent.
If you are happy to set the mattress up & remove it each time, then a mattress within the rough dimensions of 200L x 133W cm would be the way to go.
