Stay grounded while camping in the sky with the Darche Ridgeback HighRize 1550 Hard Shell Rooftop Tent.
The twin-fold design means a large internal space, big enough to store two pillows and two sleeping bags inside when closed and packed away. Providing a near panoramic view of your surroundings are the 6 windows covering all sides of your tent, for a sight that’s sure to excite. The exceptional ventilation is on account of these windows and enhanced by the breathable memory foam mattress. This 55mm mattress has a water-resistant base and a 10mm anti-condensation mat for complete camp comfort. Don’t bother bringing an additional light either! As this rooftop tent already has two integrated LED light strips for those late nights up with the stars. So much stored in one aluminum shell!
The German-engineered Stabilus struts make for an effortless pack-up and pack-down process, so you can get to work sooner and get home faster. The removable fly provides you with coverage through rain or shine and for your convenience, the ladder can be mounted from any of the three entry points you choose.
If you want a Darche Ridgeback HighRize 1550 Hard Shell Rooftop Tent, don’t sleep on it, SLEEP IN IT!

Roof rack1 answer
can you buy roof rack for 1550? Our canopy can have well over 100kg on it
Jackson - North Toowoomba, QLD (7 months ago)
G'day Jackson,
The Ridgeback HighRize is generally compatible with most roof racks systems. We dont actually sell roof racks, so the best bet would be to head to your local roof rack specialist - looks like TJM or Mick Tighe 4x4 are your closest options. They should be able to let you know the best rack set up for your vehicle and mounting a Rooftop Tent.

Solar panel1 answer
Can you get racks to put solar on top?
Jackson - Cooktown, QLD(11 months ago)
G'day Jackson,
For the majority of vehicles, no you can't. The standard heavy-duty roof racks have a max load rating of 100kg. As the 1550 is 110kg, you're already pushing it. If you happen to have a third roof rack, that will increase your carrying capacity to 150kg generally, but 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 bear in mind it has a max 10-12kg load whilst still being able to be opened. You'll also need to consider your GVM and your vehicles 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.

Roof top tent1 answer
I have a Range Rover vogue. Will it fit on that. It’s a pretty big car.
Steven - Thirroul, NSW(1 year ago)
G'day Steven,
The limitations on whether or not this is suitable for your vehicle is based on your roof load rating - not the rating of the roof racks themselves, but the physical roof. You'll need to determine the physical weight or your roof rack/platform system, and add that to the total weight of the roof top tent. If that combined comes under your vehicle's roof load rating, you should be good to go.

Roof Installation1 answer
Hi Lauren Thanks for getting back to me. Ranger is a dual cab and was wanting to install on roof. If not suitable might have to go with a camper trailer.
Craig - Echuca, VIC(1 year ago)
G'day again Craig,
Not suitable on the cab roof I'm sorry, both from a size & weight perspective. The latest rangers only have a cab roof load rating of 85kg when moving, so you could possibly get away with a roof top tent if you went with a much lighter option. I've never actually seen a rooftop tent on a dual cab roof without significant hang over the tray which is supported by some kind of framework or Ute/Truck box.
Sounds like a Camper Trailer will be the way to go if you're not keen on the tub racks.

Suitability for a Ranger1 answer
Hi I am waiting on delivery of a new Ford Ranger. Is this suitable for one of these? Please advise
Craig Lord - Echuca(1 year ago)
G'day Craig,
Generally roof top tents can only fit to dual cabs utes with a tub rack. You may need to make some inquiries with your dealer on whether or not there's an option to fit a tub rack to your vehicle, something like this. Often the newer models have a roller cover which means the generic tub rack options are not suitable.
