XPLORER 145 hard-shell aluminium roof top tent by Braguscamp for 2 adults and 1 child
The XPLORER 145 roof top tent brings together a wide sleeping area and a tall interior, making it one of the most versatile tents in the Braguscamp range. Designed and manufactured by us, it opens to 218 × 145 × 165 cm with 160 cm of interior height, and is designed for two adults and one child who want space to sleep, change and relax.
The aluminium honeycomb structure keeps the tent rigid and the weight at 74.5 kg, while the Ripstop 340 GSM PLUS fabric with FULLBLACK SHIELD technology blocks sunlight and protects against rain and UV rays. The result is a dark, quiet interior where the whole family can rest properly, whether you are parked in the mountains, by a lake or at a campsite.
A 135 × 205 × 7 cm MAXCONFORT mattress on an anti-condensation mat, LED lighting, YKK zips, mosquito nets, side pockets and removable shoe bags make everyday use easy. The double interior security system, security latches with a special key, the LockNLoad T-track mounting system and the reinforced aluminium telescopic ladder are included, and Braguscamp fits the tent free of charge at its own facilities.

Features of the XPLORER 145 roof top tent
Wide, tall interior
Open, the XPLORER 145 measures 218 × 145 × 165 cm and offers 160 cm of interior height. The extra width compared with the XPLORER 135 is what makes room for a child next to two adults, and the generous headroom means nobody has to crawl around. Getting dressed, playing a card game on a rainy afternoon or sorting your bags all become much easier.
Aluminium honeycomb structure
The aluminium honeycomb construction combines high stiffness with a moderate weight of 74.5 kg for the complete tent. It provides a flat, solid base for the mattress and a sturdy frame that copes well with travel on tracks and changing weather. The grey and black finish gives the tent a smart, discreet look on SUVs, 4x4s, vans and pick-ups. It is built for many seasons of family travel.
Ripstop 340 GSM PLUS with FULLBLACK SHIELD
The walls are made from Ripstop 340 GSM PLUS, a dense, tear-resistant fabric, with FULLBLACK SHIELD technology that blocks sunlight. The tent is water-resistant and UV-resistant, keeping you protected from showers and strong sun. Inside, the dark finish helps children nap during the day and lets everyone sleep beyond sunrise during long summer days. It also gives the family more privacy at night when the LED light is on.
MAXCONFORT mattress, 135 × 205 × 7 cm
The MAXCONFORT mattress covers the full floor with 7 cm of comfortable foam over 135 × 205 cm, enough for two adults and a child. It is always ready: open the tent and your bed is made, with no inflating or setting up. Add your duvet or sleeping bags and pillows, and the whole family can rest well after a day of adventure.
Anti-condensation mat and ventilation
An anti-condensation mat under the mattress creates an air gap that helps limit moisture build-up overnight, which matters even more when three people sleep in the tent. Together with the windows and their mosquito nets, which let you ventilate while keeping insects out, it helps keep the interior fresh and the mattress dry throughout your trip. Airing the tent in the morning completes the routine.
Security, YKK zips and storage
The double interior security system and security latches with a special key keep the tent firmly shut and add peace of mind at night and when you park. High-resistance YKK zips on doors and windows are built for frequent use. Side pockets and removable shoe bags keep mobiles, torches, toys and footwear tidy, so the sleeping area stays clean and comfortable. Everything has its place, even on long trips.
Reinforced telescopic ladder and LED lighting
The reinforced aluminium telescopic ladder is adjustable and very stable, giving safe access for adults and children and folding away compactly while you drive. Integrated LED lighting creates a warm, practical light for reading bedtime stories or getting organised after dark, without needing to hang torches from the ceiling. Together, they make arriving late at a campsite and settling in for the night quick and easy, even for the youngest travellers.

✓ Closed footprint: 218 × 145 cm
Fitting it to your vehicle: roof bars, load and closed height
The XPLORER 145 is fitted on a pair of sturdy transverse roof bars or a roof rack, never directly on the bare roof panel. The technical sheet gives a rail spacing of 64 cm for the roof bars and a rail thickness of 2.5 cm, while the structure itself is 18 cm thick, for a total closed height of 21.5 cm (rails plus structure) above your bars. The tent weighs 74.5 kg, and around 94.5 kg in its shipping box, so plan for two people when lifting it onto the roof.
Before you buy, check your vehicle's maximum dynamic roof load in the owner's manual, plus the rating of your roof bars: both must be higher than the weight of the tent plus the bars themselves. The static load when parked is much higher, which is why a roof tent can carry sleepers once the vehicle is stationary. If you prefer to leave it to the experts, Braguscamp fits your roof tent free of charge at its own facilities, so you drive away with everything correctly secured and checked.
Tips to get the most out of it
✓ Level the vehicle before bedtime so everyone sleeps flat.
✓ Let the child sleep in the middle and keep a torch in a side pocket.
✓ Leave a window partly open overnight to limit condensation.
✓ Use the shoe bags for footwear so the mattress stays clean.
✓ Always extend and seat the ladder firmly before letting children climb.
✓ Check the fixings on the roof bars before every trip.

Frequently asked questions about the XPLORER 145
Which vehicles is the XPLORER 145 suitable for?
It suits most SUVs, 4x4s, vans, pick-ups and larger estate cars with sturdy transverse roof bars or a roof rack, as long as the maximum dynamic roof load covers the tent and bars. At 145 cm wide it is best matched to wider roofs. Send us your vehicle details on WhatsApp and we will help you check.
What roof bars do I need for the XPLORER 145?
You need two strong transverse roof bars or a roof rack rated for the weight of the tent. The sheet specifies a rail spacing of 64 cm for the bars and a rail thickness of 2.5 cm. If you are not sure whether your bars are suitable, send us the make, model and year of your vehicle and the bar details on WhatsApp and we will advise you.
What is the difference between dynamic and static roof load?
The dynamic roof load is the maximum weight your roof can carry while driving, and it is usually the limiting figure; you will find it in the owner's manual. The static load when the vehicle is parked is considerably higher, which is what allows people to sleep in the tent. Make sure the dynamic load covers the 74.5 kg of the XPLORER 145 plus your roof bars.
Can a family sleep in the XPLORER 145?
Yes, it is designed for two adults and one child. The 135 × 205 cm mattress leaves room for a child between two adults, and the 160 cm headroom makes it easy for everyone to move around. For two adults and two children, have a look at our FOREST 160 and SAHARA 160 family roof tents.
How tall is the interior?
The interior height is 160 cm and the open tent measures 218 × 145 × 165 cm. Adults can kneel and sit up straight, and children can move around easily, which makes changing clothes and spending time inside on a rainy day far more comfortable.
Is the mattress comfortable?
Yes. The MAXCONFORT mattress is 7 cm thick and covers the full 135 × 205 cm floor, giving an even, supportive surface for the whole family. It rests on an anti-condensation mat that helps keep it dry. Just add your bedding and pillows.
Is the XPLORER 145 waterproof?
The Ripstop 340 GSM PLUS fabric with FULLBLACK SHIELD technology is water-resistant and UV-resistant, and the YKK zips help seal the openings. Close the windows when rain is expected and always let the tent dry fully before storing it closed for a long time.
How do I avoid condensation inside the XPLORER 145?
Condensation comes from the moisture we breathe out at night, so ventilation is key: leave a window or vent partly open, even when it is cold. The included anti-condensation mat under the mattress lets air circulate and helps keep the base dry. In the morning, open the tent for a while before closing it.
Is the ladder safe for children?
The reinforced aluminium telescopic ladder is adjustable and very stable when correctly seated on firm ground. As with any roof tent, children should climb under adult supervision. Extend the ladder fully, check it is secure before each use and make sure everyone uses it facing the rungs.
What is the LockNLoad system on the XPLORER 145?
LockNLoad is the T-track (T-slot) anchoring system on the underside of the tent base. It is used to fix the XPLORER 145 securely to your roof bars, so the mounting hardware sits exactly where your bars are and can be tightened firmly. It works alongside the double interior security system of the tent, and we set it up for you during the free fitting.
Will I still fit into car parks and garages with the XPLORER 145?
The tent adds a total closed height of 21.5 cm above your roof bars. To know your real clearance, add the height of your vehicle, the height of the bars and those 21.5 cm, then compare it with the sign at the entrance. Write the final figure on a sticker on the dashboard so you never have to guess.
Does the XPLORER 145 affect the way the vehicle drives?
With the slim closed profile the impact is moderate, but any roof load raises the centre of gravity and adds some wind resistance. Expect slightly higher fuel consumption, take bends and braking a little more gently, and drive more carefully in strong crosswinds. Check that the fixings are tight before every trip.
Do you offer a fitting service for the XPLORER 145?
Yes. Braguscamp fits your roof tent free of charge at its own facilities. We mount the XPLORER 145 on your bars, tighten and check every fixing and show you how to open and close it, so your first trip starts with peace of mind. Write to us on WhatsApp or by email to arrange a date.

Yes. At checkout on braguscamp.com you can choose flexible payment with seQura and spread the cost of your roof tent according to the options shown for your order. The process is quick and online, and if you have any questions our customer service team can help you on WhatsApp or by email.
