Ready to pick your roof tent?
Roof tents will fit any vehicle not just a 4×4.
We are based in Hampshire, UK and after years of having a passion for the outdoors, traveling, camping and vehicles, we wanted to share our experiences to help others do the same. Our years of traveling and camping across the world in a Land Rover Defender have been the best research for finding the right equipment to use on the open road, dirt trail or sand dune!
Many mornings and nights were spent sitting around the campfire discussing what our likes and dislikes were about the camping equipment we use. And we are constantly researching and reading about the next thing we need to improve on our overland setup. Travelling while enjoying the outdoors in the UK or abroad, doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.
Every weekend or holiday would be a chance to wander somewhere new or prepare for the next trip! We have spent 17 years using, breaking and repairing camping equipment. Consequently, this experience gave us the inspiration to manufacture great quality camping equipment. We have worked hard to bring our customers the best products at great value prices.
Being on the early wave of buying a roof tent back in 2005, there weren’t many other roof top tent campers around. As a result, many people would always stop and talk to us in fascination about a tent on the roof of a car. Spreading the word about roof tents/overland equipment, going to shows and chatting with other like-minded people became our passion. That passion turned into a business idea and the rest as they say is history.
We are committed to designing, manufacturing, and supplying outdoor camping equipment that boasts the highest quality. Our products are built to withstand the ruggedness of the great outdoors. The process involved in designing our products, manufacturing and testing them is very tedious. Every weekend or holiday is a chance to use and abuse our products, we have tested and modified our products from these experiences.
We make no secret that our products are manufactured in China and we are proud of the working relationships we have built. Working with our manufacturers, we create new exciting features that solve problems or improve the camping experience for our customers.
Our mission is to bring our customers the best products at value prices to enable more people to join the community of travellers and roof top campers. This is achieved by streamlining ourselves as a business and prioritising customer value over making a profit.
We have also taken inspiration from a number of sources over the years and we would like to share those with you:

TENT and TRAIL is based in Stockbridge, Hampshire, UK. This is a wonderful location and we love it for Monday to Friday. At the weekends, we can be found testing our premium quality overland equipment in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, East Sussex, Devon, Cornwall and all over the UK.
Travel enriches our life and this can be exploring your local countryside or your neighbouring countries. We have spent time driving the back roads rather than the motorways. This slower approach to travel/life can identify what’s important to you when on your adventure.
