SLEEP
ABOVE
THE
OUTBACK.
Hardshell roof top tents and 270° awnings, engineered for Australian conditions. Driveway to deployed in sixty seconds. Tested from the Gibb to the Simpson.
NOTHING
RATTLES.
NOTHING
LEAKS.
NOTHING
WAITS.
RIGDUP started where most great Aussie 4WD stories do — in a Queensland warehouse, with a frustration. Off-the-shelf rooftop tents weren't built for the country we actually drive in.
So we built our own. Tested from the dunes of Stockton to the red dirt of the Tanami. Hardshell aluminium, gas-strut deployment, sealed canvas. Every component holds itself to a spec — not a price.

BUILT TO
A SPEC.
NOT A PRICE.
The difference between a tent that lasts a season and one that lasts a decade is in the parts you never see. Slide through every detail.
2MM LASER-WELDED ALUMINIUM
PVDF anti-oxidation coating. Light enough to mount solo, structural enough to take a roof load. No flex, no creak, no cracks at corrugation speed.
280GSM RIPSTOP. 3000MM SEALED.
Polycotton ripstop with a 3000mm waterhead, fully seam-sealed and reinforced at every stress point. Tested in outback heat, coastal storms, and red-dust country.
SIXTY-SECOND DEPLOYMENT
Two latches. Two gas struts. One minute. From driveway to deployed without a tool, a pole, or a second pair of hands.
GAS-STRUT ENGINEERED.
Twin nitrogen-charged struts rated for 5,000+ open/close cycles. Smooth, controlled deployment every time — even after years of corrugation country.
BUILT-IN INSULATION.
Anti-condensation mat included as standard. Sleeps quiet through 40°C summer afternoons and below-zero high-country mornings.
UV-RESISTANT FABRIC.
Polycotton blend treated for Australian UV intensity. No fading, no degradation, no nasty surprises after a season in the sun.
BACKED FROM THE GOLD COAST
Real warranty. Real spare parts. Real people who've actually camped in their own gear. Two-year manufacturer's warranty, fourteen-day no-questions returns.
SIXTY
SECONDS.
THAT'S
THE
BRIEF.
Pull up. Release the latches. Let the gas struts do the lifting. Climb up. Sleep. We held ourselves to it — and our customers do too.
Two latches, two struts. Driveway to deployed.
Bedding stays inside. Just lower and latch.
No poles, no pegs, no spanners on site.
Two-person mount. Solo deploy after that.
FROM
COOLANGATTA
TO
THE
KIMBERLEY.
Designed in a Queensland warehouse. Tested across the country. RIGDUP gear isn't built for showrooms — it's built for the dunes of Stockton, the corrugations of the Gibb, and the red dirt of the Tanami. Wherever your rig stops, our gear's already been.

TRUSTED
WHERE
IT
MATTERS.
Hands down the best roof top tent I've owned. Setup takes less than a minute and the build quality is next level. We camped through wind, rain and dust on the Gibb — it didn't move an inch.
Our 270° awning has been a game-changer for long road trips. Shade all day in 40°C, holds up in wind. Setup takes me under 2 minutes solo. Couldn't recommend it enough.
The Nomad changed how we travel. We pull over anywhere, pop it open, and we're asleep under the stars in minutes. Worth every cent. Aussie service was great too.

Most RIGDUP hardshell models set up in under 60 seconds using gas-strut assistance. Unlock the latches, push, and the gas struts do the work — no tools, no poles. Pack-down takes about the same.
RIGDUP rigs mount to most 4WDs, utes and SUVs using load-rated roof racks or crossbars. Check your vehicle's dynamic roof load rating — our tents are 65–78kg, so a dynamic capacity of at least 75kg is recommended. Send us your make/model and we'll confirm.
