Sprinter Carbon Fiber Roof-Top Tent System
More sleeping space. Less rooftop compromise.
A revolutionary 150 lb carbon-fiber roof-top tent engineered specifically for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. Its insulated structural shells, self-organizing fabric, and clean interior access create a true four-season sleeping system without the bulk and complexity of a conventional roof-top tent.

Carbon fiber / PMI shells
SEAL Stitch
Water-swellable thread
4 Season
Insulated construction
Effortless operation
The fabric knows where to go.
An invisible support and fabric-management structure is integrated into the tent body. A gentle push helps deploy the tent into place. To close it, pull the top down and the fabric organizes itself, leaving only the two locking straps to secure. Each strap is rated to 150 lb.
Patented all-season fabric
Mold-resistant and condensation-resistant material creates a thermal cutoff around the tent body.
Interior entry hatch
Enter the tent directly from inside the van without climbing an exterior ladder.

Temperature Rating
-21°F / -29°CThe tent components are rated down to -21°F (-29°C). However, if you plan to camp in temperatures that low, we strongly recommend ducting a heater into the tent to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature.
Opening Size
700 mm × 450 mm / 27.6" × 17.7"
Sleeping Area
1.25 m × 2.0 m / 49.2" × 78.7"The spacious sleeping platform comfortably accommodates two adults.
Structural performance
Carbon fiber strength with an insulated PMI core.
Both the upper and lower shells use carbon-fiber-reinforced face sheets bonded around a closed-cell PMI structural foam core. The carbon skins carry tension and compression while the lightweight core stabilizes the panel and increases bending stiffness. The result is a rigid, low-mass structure that also helps interrupt heat transfer through the roof and sleeping platform.
Weather-responsive construction
RoamLabX SEAL Stitch Technology.
The tent fabric is continuously stitched using water-swellable corespun thread. Absorbent outer fibers expand when exposed to water, helping occupy the needle-hole pathway, while anti-wicking construction helps limit water migration along the seam.
No exposed seam-sealant bead: the sealing action is integrated into the stitching itself, eliminating a conventional surface-applied seam treatment that can dry out, crack, peel, or become a long-term leakage concern.
Vehicle-specific installation
Engineered around the Sprinter roof structure.
Installation is comparable to installing a roof fan plus a roof rack. The hatch cutout is positioned between the first and second ceiling ribs, so no structural roof rib needs to be cut. The tent body bolts to the factory roof-rail mounting system.
-
Experienced installation shop: approximately 3 hours.
-
Qualified first-time installation shop: approximately 5 hours.
- Integrated roof rack and tent system fits Sprinter 144 and 170 high-roof models.
- Not compatible with the Sprinter 144 low roof due to roof-rail width.
Installation times are estimates and may vary with vehicle configuration, installer experience, interior finishing, wiring, sealant-curing requirements, and optional accessories. Professional installation is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add solar panels, fans, or other roof accessories?
Yes. The system is designed to accommodate solar panels, ventilation fans, light bars, and many common roof-mounted accessories. Final compatibility depends on accessory dimensions, placement, wiring, total load, and the selected mounting hardware.
Can the tent support top rails or crossbars?
Yes. Optional top rails can support compatible crossbars for equipment such as storage boxes, traction boards, and other lightweight adventure gear. Accessory weight must be considered when selecting gas struts and operating the tent.
Can the gas struts be upgraded?
Yes. Higher-force gas struts can be custom ordered when additional rooftop equipment is planned. The correct strut specification depends on the weight and position of the added load.
How easy is installation?
The entry hatch installs similarly to a roof ventilation fan, while the tent assembly bolts to the factory roof-rail mounting system like a roof rack. The engineered hatch opening sits between the first and second ceiling ribs, so a structural roof rib does not need to be cut. Allow approximately 3 hours for an experienced tent installation shop or approximately 5 hours for a qualified shop completing its first installation.
Does the tent include the required edge trim?
Yes. The required edge trim is included with the tent for a clean, finished installation.
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 5–7 business days.
Does the tent include a ladder?
No. A ladder is not included. A compatible telescoping ladder can easily be purchased from Amazon for approximately $100 USD.
Is a Ford Transit version coming?
A Ford Transit-compatible version is planned for Q2 2026. Please contact RoamLabX to confirm current availability and vehicle fitment before ordering.
Can I open and close the tent from inside the van?
Yes. The tent can be deployed, closed, and accessed through the included interior entry hatch, providing greater comfort, privacy, and security without requiring an exterior ladder.
What is the total system weight?
The complete system weighs approximately 150 lb, depending on configuration and installed accessories.
Is a 170-inch wheelbase version available?
The tent itself is offered in one size. A dedicated 170-inch-wheelbase roof-rack configuration is available, allowing the same tent system to fit both Sprinter 144 and 170 high-roof models.
Can the tent be mounted rear-facing?
No. The tent is engineered as an integrated system with its aerodynamic front fairing and must be installed in the specified forward-facing orientation.
Can a roof-top ventilation fan be installed in the carbon-fiber shell?
Yes. A properly sized opening can be made in the carbon-fiber sandwich panel for a compatible roof fan. Because this modifies a structural composite panel, layout, reinforcement, edge sealing, wiring, load clearance, and waterproofing should be evaluated and completed by a qualified professional. Contact RoamLabX before cutting to confirm the approved location and installation requirements.
