💥NEW Thule Outset – Hitch-Mounted Camping Tent
The Thule Outset redefines camping comfort by mounting directly to your vehicle’s hitch. No rooftop access needed. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend escape or an extended road trip, this tent offers ground-level luxury, aerodynamic efficiency, and a hassle-free setup.
Pushing the Boundaries of Adventure Design
Nature can be a trying place. That’s why, more than anywhere else, products used on rugged adventures require the refined eye of a design team that can foresee nature’s whims and plan accordingly.
Adventure design is about working together with nature to harness its strength, withstand its power, and enhance its beauty. This is the philosophy that has informed the development of Thule Outset.
The sleek, modern silhouette and calming color palette help Thule Outset blend into its surroundings and the rigorous testing of materials ensures it can withstand those surroundings, too.
With Thule Outset, comfort is not only key to providing you with a good night’s sleep but opening up a new and intimate way to experience nature.
