Dometic Tailgater AIR SUV Tent

G'day Jo,

The Tailgater will come with pegs, but its always handy to upgrade them depending on where you're going camping and the sort of ground you'll be on.
The pegs provided will be suitable for grass in a caravan park, for example.

G'day Carmel,

The product photos do show it set up with a LandRover Defender, so you wont have any issues using it with other 4WD's.
The head height internally is 210cm, so we'd guess another 10cm or so for the external height of the tent.

G'day Michael,

Going off some online measurements of the Hiace and Volkswagen T3, it looks like the back doors would mostly be between the connection width of 1600mm - 2200mm. As long as it isn't any higher than 2200mm, this Tent should connect well to any vans or campers. 

G'day Ann,

This tent does include a Dometic Hand Pump to inflate the air poles. The pump has a pressure gauge and each AirPole should be inflated to between 6 -8 psi.

G'day Ann,

Yes, all of our items are already manufactured and we store stock in our warehouse here in Adelaide. We currently have 2 Tailgater AIR SUV Tents available and ready to ship out to you!

G'day Deborah,

The tailgater does have a floor attached, it's a full bucket floor tent.
You can use the footprint as an optional extra to help protect the floor if you are camping in rough or rocky areas, or to help keep the floor dry for an easier pack up.

G'day Steve,

Yes, the Tailgater can be used as a stand-alone tent, you'll just have to find a way to anchor the vehicle valance - but that shouldn't cause too much trouble.

G'day Jennifer,

The Tailgater doesn't come with a fly as the tent material has a water-repellant PU coating over its entire surface and the main seams of your tent have been factory taped to help prevent leakage. The fabric used to make this tent has a massive 6000 mm hydrostatic head, so it is extremely unlikely that it would leak.

Dometic have stated that in conditions where rainfall is expected to exceed 30 mm in 24 hour period, there may be a potential for leakage to occur.

This Tent will also need to be weathered/seasoned before use. The weathering process tightens the fabric, and allows the cotton in the sewing thread to swell and fill the holes made by the sewing needle during the manufacturing process.
By following this process before your initial use, will ensure that your tent weatherproofing will improve with subsequent soaking.

See the Dometic Tailgater AIR Operating Manual for the weathering process and more info.

G'day BC,

Once this is attached to your vehicle securely you shouldn't get too much movement in the material, the material is a soft polyester and shouldn't be a concern for damage to your paintwork. There is a YouTube video by Dometic on How To Operate Your Tailgater AIR which shows some more info on set-up and how it attaches to your vehicle.

G'day Kerry,

I'm not sure what you're talking about with the Tesla and camping mode sorry.  This SUV tent will just fit over the back of your vehicle, and be attached with a range of tensionable straps.
All the major seals are seam sealed, and Dometic have provided a 6000mm water head rating.
