Overview
The Tuff Stuff Alpha Hard Shell Rooftop Tent is a hybrid side-opening rooftop tent designed for overlanders who want quick setup, low wind resistance, and everyday camping comfort.
This tent can be set up in under two minutes, making it ideal for frequent stops and efficient camp transitions. Its sloped aerodynamic shell helps reduce wind resistance while driving, and the higher closed profile allows bedding to remain inside when the tent is packed—saving time and effort at camp.
Built with durable materials, a comfortable mattress, and multiple ventilation points, the Alpha balances speed, comfort, and practicality for four-season use.

Installation Guide
Installing your Alpha Hard Shell Rooftop Tent requires two people for safe lifting and positioning.
Positioning:
Place the tent on your roof rack, bed rack, or trailer and center it to your preferred alignment.
Note: The Alpha tent opens on the passenger side only.
Securing the Tent:
Use the provided mounting hardware and plates. Slide the bolts into the base channel — two bolts per corner (one in front and one behind each crossbar). Run the bolts through the mounting brackets and thread the nuts onto the bolts.
Final Alignment:
Confirm the tent is straight, balanced, and properly positioned. Once satisfied, tighten all nuts evenly until the tent is fully secured and cannot shift.
Opening the Tent:
Release the side buckles and push up on the handle to engage the hydraulic lift arms. The hard shell will open smoothly.
Ladder Setup:
Extend the telescoping ladder fully. Pull it downward until the folding side of the tent opens and locks into position, then adjust the ladder to the desired height for safe entry.
Maintenance
Your Alpha’s ABS shell is coated with a clear protective layer designed to guard against UV rays, road debris, and environmental wear.
Protecting the Clear Coat:
Limit prolonged sun exposure when possible. Remove bird droppings quickly, rinse salt buildup in coastal or snowy regions, avoid tree sap, and wash and wax the shell regularly using mild soap and a microfiber cloth.
Shell Repair – When Damage Occurs
In the event of minor cracks or surface damage, the ABS shell can be restored using a rigid plastic repair compound.
Repair Process:
Clean the damaged area thoroughly, prep and fill with repair compound, then prime and paint once cured. Reinforce from behind with epoxy if additional strength is required.
Surface Alignment:
If the plastic becomes distorted, gently heat the area with a heat gun, reshape with light pressure, cool with a damp cloth, and smooth imperfections with fine-grit sandpaper as needed.
Proper maintenance ensures your Alpha Hard Shell Tent maintains peak performance and a professional finish for years to come.
