FOREST 160 family roof top tent for 2 adults and 2 children by Braguscamp
The Braguscamp FOREST 160 is a family roof top tent that turns your vehicle into a safe, cosy refuge for 2 adults and 2 children. Designed and manufactured by Braguscamp, it opens out to a generous 160 × 240 cm sleeping area, with a 240 × 165 × 6 cm mattress that covers the whole floor, so the entire family can sleep together above the ground wherever the trip takes you.
It is built on an aluminium honeycomb base with extreme YKK zips, and protected by a tough PVC Titan-Shield cover with FULLBLACK SHIELD technology, designed to withstand branches, stones and difficult tracks. The FULLBLACK SHIELD fabric blocks UV rays and darkens the interior so children can sleep even when the sun rises early, while integrated awnings on both sides protect the windows.
Weighing 59 kg without the ladder and closing to a compact 165 × 125 × 30 cm, the FOREST suits many SUVs, 4x4s and vans. It includes a reinforced aluminium telescopic ladder, LED lighting, an anti-condensation mat, an interior multi-pocket system, hanging external shoe bags and the LockNLoad T-track mounting system. Braguscamp fits it for free at its own facilities.

Features of the FOREST 160 family roof top tent
Large sleeping area for 2 adults and 2 children
The FOREST 160 opens out to 245 × 165 × 120 cm, creating a sleeping area of 160 × 240 cm, one of the largest in the Braguscamp range. The 240 × 165 × 6 cm high-density mattress covers the floor from side to side, so parents and children can sleep together comfortably. The interior height of 115 cm leaves room to sit up, read a story or change clothes before going to sleep.
PVC Titan-Shield cover with FULLBLACK SHIELD
When closed, the tent is protected by a PVC Titan-Shield cover, a tough material designed to resist scratches from branches, stones and narrow forest tracks. The FULLBLACK SHIELD technology blocks UV rays and darkens the interior, helping children and adults rest better on bright mornings or during an afternoon nap. The tent is resistant to water and UV rays, ready for trips in very different conditions.
Aluminium honeycomb base and extreme YKK zips
The FOREST is built on an aluminium honeycomb base that gives the floor rigidity and durability while keeping the weight at 59 kg without the ladder. The extreme YKK zips are designed to keep working smoothly with dust, sand or cold, which is especially important when children are going in and out many times a day. The khaki and black finish gives the tent a natural outdoor look.
Windows, skylights and integrated awnings
Triple-layer windows with mosquito nets and panoramic skylights let you enjoy the landscape and ventilate without letting insects in. Integrated awnings on both sides protect the openings, so you can keep windows open even in light rain. The 360° ventilation keeps the interior fresh and helps reduce condensation, an important point when four people are sleeping together in the same space.
Mattress with washable cover and anti-condensation mat
The high-density mattress has a washable cover, making it easy to clean after a trip with children. Underneath it, an anti-condensation mat creates an air gap that lets moisture escape instead of soaking into the foam, keeping the bed dry and fresh night after night. Simply add sleeping bags or bedding for each member of the family and the bedroom is ready.
Multi-pocket organisation and shoe bags
With a family on board, organisation makes all the difference. The interior multi-pocket system keeps torches, toys, glasses and small items at hand, and the hanging external shoe bags let everyone leave muddy shoes outside before climbing in. A dimmable LED light completes the interior, so you can adjust the brightness for reading or for putting the children to sleep.
Reinforced ladder and LockNLoad mounting
Access is via a reinforced aluminium telescopic ladder that adjusts to the height of your vehicle and adapts to uneven ground. Underneath, the LockNLoad T-track mounting system lets the universal mounting kit slide into T-shaped channels in the base and clamp the tent firmly to your roof bars. The tent also includes a double interior security system. Always check that the ladder is locked before climbing, especially with children.

Fitting it to your vehicle: roof bars, load and closed height
The FOREST weighs 59 kg without the ladder and closes to 165 × 125 × 30 cm. It is fitted on two transverse roof bars using the universal mounting kit; before ordering, check your vehicle's maximum dynamic roof load and the rating of your roof bars in their manuals, and make sure both cover the weight of the tent plus any accessories. Our customer service can help you confirm the right bar position for your vehicle. Add the 30 cm closed height and your bars to your vehicle height for car parks and garages.
Braguscamp offers free fitting of the roof tent at its own facilities, so you can drive away with the FOREST correctly installed and adjusted. If you prefer to fit it yourself, at least two people are needed to lift it onto the bars safely. The compact closed design helps aerodynamics, but you should still drive more carefully in strong crosswinds and check the fixings before every trip.
Tips to get the most out of it
✓ Level the vehicle before opening so the whole family sleeps flat.
✓ Choose a parking spot with enough free space on the side where the tent opens out.
✓ Keep windows slightly open under the awnings at night to limit condensation.
✓ Ask everyone to leave shoes in the external shoe bags before climbing in.
✓ Lock the ladder and supervise children whenever they climb up or down.
✓ Check all fixings before every trip and remember your closed height in car parks.

Frequently asked questions about the FOREST 160 family roof top tent
Which vehicles does the FOREST 160 fit?
The FOREST 160 is compatible with most SUVs, 4x4s, vans and pick-ups fitted with suitable transverse roof bars. Your vehicle's maximum dynamic roof load and the bars' rating must cover the 59 kg of the tent plus any accessories. Check both figures in the manuals, and write to us on WhatsApp if you would like help confirming compatibility.
What roof bars do I need?
You need two transverse roof bars rated for the weight of the tent and correctly mounted on your vehicle's rails or fixing points. The tent includes a universal mounting kit for roof bars. Our customer service can help you confirm the right bar position for your vehicle before you order.
What is the difference between dynamic and static roof load?
The dynamic roof load is the maximum weight the roof can carry while driving, and it must cover the weight of the tent. The static load, when the vehicle is parked, is usually much higher and supports the family sleeping inside. Your vehicle manual states the dynamic load, so check it before installing any roof top tent.
How many people can sleep in the FOREST?
The FOREST 160 is designed for 2 adults and 2 children. Its sleeping area measures 160 × 240 cm and the 240 × 165 × 6 cm mattress covers the whole floor, so the family can sleep side by side. If you travel as a couple, our 2-person models such as the IGLÚ PRO or the WILD PRO may suit you better.
How is the tent opened?
The FOREST has a quick opening system that lets you set up camp in a few minutes: the tent opens out from its compact 165 × 125 cm closed footprint to a 245 cm long sleeping area. Make sure you park with enough free space on the opening side and follow the instructions supplied with the tent.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The tent is resistant to water and UV rays, and the PVC Titan-Shield cover with FULLBLACK SHIELD technology protects it when closed. Integrated awnings on both sides protect the windows so you can ventilate in light rain. Dry the tent fully before storing it closed for long periods to keep the fabric in good condition.
How do I avoid condensation?
With four people sleeping inside, ventilation is key. The FOREST includes an anti-condensation mat under the mattress and offers 360° ventilation through its windows and skylights. Keep the windows slightly open under the awnings at night, avoid drying wet clothes inside and air the tent in the morning.
Can I use it in cold or hot weather?
The FOREST is designed for use across much of the year. In summer, the windows, skylights and FULLBLACK SHIELD fabric help keep the interior pleasant. In cold weather, use sleeping bags rated for the temperatures you expect and keep some ventilation to limit condensation. Sleeping off the ground also keeps the family away from cold, damp soil.
Is it safe for children?
Sleeping above the ground keeps children away from damp, insects and uneven terrain, and the mosquito nets add extra comfort. As with any roof tent, supervise children when they use the ladder, make sure it is locked before climbing and close the entrance properly at night. The double interior security system adds extra peace of mind.
How tall is it when closed?
The FOREST closes to 165 × 125 × 30 cm. To know whether you will fit in car parks, garages or ferries, add the 30 cm closed height and the height of your roof bars to the height of your vehicle, and keep the total written somewhere visible inside the vehicle.
Does it affect driving?
The compact closed design of the FOREST helps aerodynamics, but any roof tent changes the vehicle's behaviour to some extent, especially in crosswinds and on fuel consumption at motorway speeds. Drive more carefully in strong side winds, respect the speed limits for loaded vehicles and check the fixings regularly.
Do you fit the tent for free?
Yes. Braguscamp offers free fitting of the roof tent at its own facilities, so you leave with the FOREST correctly installed on your bars. To arrange an appointment, write to us on WhatsApp or by email at info@braguscamp.com. Your vehicle needs suitable roof bars, and we can advise you on them beforehand.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes, the FOREST comes with a universal mounting kit and many customers fit it themselves. At 59 kg without the ladder, you will need at least two people to lift it safely onto the bars. Position it correctly, tighten all fixings following the instructions and check them again after the first kilometres.
Do you ship to my country?
Braguscamp ships to Spain and Europe. The FOREST is delivered in a large package, so make sure someone can receive it and has space to unpack it. For details about delivery to your address, contact our customer service on WhatsApp or by email at info@braguscamp.com.
