AT overland tacoma habitat levitating tent: continuing with its tradition of designing purposeful high quality equipment for overland travel, AT overland equipment unveils the ‘tacoma habitat’ levitating tent. the new camper design takes the traditional tent and elevates it above the truck, with half of the structure appearing to be floating freely next to the tree tops. it provides a lightweight yet robust camping platform, with enough room for owners to customize the structure to meet their specific needs. the ‘habitat’ addresses the needs for a reliable opening mechanism and built-in canopy, combined with high quality fabrics.

created to fill the void between the traditional truck topper and the slide-in camper, AT overland’s ‘tacoma habitat’ can be easily deployed by one person to reveal a cavernous and functional interior. the design caters for full-stand-up room in the bed of the truck, beaneath the protective canopy of the all-season tent. the cantilever sleeping platform is stoutly supported by 6061 aluminum rods, featuring a comfortable dense-foam mattress and supports up to 600 lbs.

the structural-shell is made from lightweight aluminum composites and opening and closing the top is facilitated by robust gas springs. the teflon-impregnated ripstop-nylon ‘habitat’ is made exclusively for AT by nemo equipment. the 15 foot long tent protects travellers from the elements, while a self-supporting sleeping area for two assures a sound night’s sleep. entering the ‘habitat’ through the tailgate reveals 7 feet of headroom while standing in the truck bed. at the rear of the truck, the deployed platform doubles as a protective awning.AT overland tacoma habitat levitating tent designboom
