The Darche Ridgeback HighRize 1250 Hard Shell Rooftop Tent is sure to keep you up even when the weather gets you down.
The removable fly has a UV rating of 50+ and a 3000mm water rating, so you won’t get sunburnt or sopping wet while you’re under cover. The pack-up and pack-down processes are made easy with the German-engineered Stabilus gas struts, so you have more time for the fun stuff. For your convenience, there are internal pockets for your bits and pieces, as well as rooftop storage.
This spacious shelter has 6 widows in total providing a near panoramic view of your surroundings and exceptional ventilation that is only enhanced by the memory foam mattress. This mattress is 55mm, with a water-resistant base and a 10mm anti-condensation mat for complete comfort.
The heavy-duty nature of this tent is all due to the self-repairing coil zips and reinforced stitching on stress points, so you don’t have to worry when the winds reach a high. The included brackets suit most commercial flat roof racks or roof rail systems.
Your Darche Ridgeback HighRize 1250 Hard Shell Rooftop Tent is sure to get you through the night, rain, hail, or shine.

How much weight can the roof hold and still be able to fully operate? Eg solar panels
G'day Sam,
The roof load has more to do with your specific vehicle, and not a lot can have a load on the roof top tent.
Standard heavy-duty roof racks have a max load rating of 100kg. As the 1250 is 99kg, you're already getting close.
If you happen to have a third roof rack, that will increase your carrying capacity to 150kg generally, but bear in mind these RTT only come with fixings for 2 bars, so you'll need to pick up an additional RTT clamp kit.
Obviously, if you have the 3rd roof rack, you can look at mounting a solar panel on the HighRize, but it does have a max 10-12kg load whilst still being able to be opened.
You'll also need to consider your GVM and your vehicle's roof load rating to make sure that covers the roof racks, roof top tent, roof top tent racks, and the solar panel.
Hope that helps.
