THULE ROOFTOP TENTS
Thule Foothill Rooftop Tent
Two-person rooftop camping that only takes up half your roof. Now save $400.
The Thule Foothill solved one of the biggest compromises of rooftop camping: giving up your entire roof to the tent.
At just 24 inches wide when closed, the Foothill occupies roughly half the width of a traditional rooftop tent, leaving valuable roof space available for bikes, kayaks, boards, cargo and other adventure gear.
And at $1,779.95, this proven Thule design is now $970 less than the $2,749.95 current-generation Foothill 2.
HALF THE ROOF. FULL-SIZE SLEEPING.
This Is What Makes the Foothill Different.
Most rooftop tents consume virtually all of the usable space across a vehicle's roof. The Foothill folds lengthwise into an exceptionally narrow 24-inch-wide package.
Open it at camp and it transforms into an 84" x 47" two-person sleeping platform. Pack it away and you've still got room beside the tent for the equipment that got you outside in the first place.
That's the Foothill advantage: you don't have to choose between a rooftop tent and using your roof.
BRING MORE WITH YOU
Your Tent Doesn't Need the Whole Roof.
The Foothill's narrow travel footprint makes it especially appealing to active campers who need to carry more than just their sleeping setup.
Compact on the Road. Proper Tent at Camp.
24" Travel Width
The narrow folded design preserves valuable roof space and makes the Foothill especially useful on vehicles carrying multiple types of outdoor equipment.
Sleeps Two
Once deployed, the compact travel package opens into an 84" x 47" sleeping footprint designed for two adults.
Integrated 4 cm Mattress
A low-profile foam mattress with a removable, machine-washable cover gives you a dedicated sleeping surface every time the tent opens.
One-Person Setup
Telescopic internal frame poles and the symmetrical design allow the Foothill to be deployed and packed away by one person.
Panoramic Views
A wide entry, panoramic rear window and dual skylights create an airy interior with excellent visibility and connection to the outdoors.
All-Season Design
Breathable, water-resistant 600D polyester ripstop fabric and mesh screening help prepare the Foothill for changing camping conditions.
COMPACT IN TWO DIRECTIONS
Just 9.5 Inches High When Closed.
The Foothill isn't only narrow. Its closed height is just 9.5 inches, helping keep the overall rooftop package lower when you're travelling.
For daily-driven vehicles and smaller adventure rigs, that compact packaging is a major part of the appeal. You get a legitimate rooftop sleeping system without permanently turning the vehicle into a towering camp setup.
ORIGINAL OR NEXT GENERATION?
Foothill at $1,779.95 or Foothill 2 at $2,749.95?
Thule has now introduced the next-generation Foothill 2, but that doesn't suddenly make the original Foothill obsolete.
Both are built around the same clever idea: a two-person rooftop tent that folds into approximately half the width of a conventional rooftop tent, preserving roof space for the rest of your gear.
| Feature | Foothill | Foothill 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,779.95 SALE | $2,749.95 |
| Sleeping Capacity | 2 Person | 2 Person |
| Closed Width | 24" | Approx. 25" |
| Mattress | 4 cm Foam | 6 cm Foam |
| Tent Fabric | 600D Polyester Ripstop | 100% Recycled Solution-Dyed Polyester |
| Mounting | Original Foothill Mounting System | Updated Thule Mounting Rails |
| Best For | Maximum Value | Latest-Generation Features |
The Foothill 2 gives you meaningful updates, particularly its thicker 6 cm mattress, recycled fabric and current-generation mounting system.
But if the original Foothill already does what you need, the $970 difference is substantial.
THE VALUE EQUATION
$970 Less Than the New Foothill 2.
That's where this gets interesting.
The original Foothill was $2,199.95. At the current $1,779.95 sale price, you're already saving $400.
Compare it with the current-generation Foothill 2 at $2,749.95 and the price difference grows to $970.
If the thicker mattress, recycled fabric and newer mounting system matter enough to you, buy the Foothill 2. If they don't, the original Foothill represents exceptional value.
BEFORE YOU MOUNT IT
Make Sure the Rack Underneath Is Ready.
Rooftop tents place significantly different loads on a vehicle and rack system than conventional cargo carriers.
The Foothill requires a compatible vehicle and roof-rack system with suitable crossbar spacing and load capacity. Thule specifies a minimum bar spread of 24 inches for the Foothill.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Buy the Tent. Have Cap-it Install It.
Proper rooftop-tent installation starts with the rack underneath it. Vehicle roof capacity, rack load ratings, crossbar spacing, mounting hardware and final tent positioning all need to work together.
Participating Cap-it locations can confirm compatibility and professionally install your Foothill on suitable trucks, SUVs and roof-rack systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Foothill folds down to only 24 inches wide, preserving a significant portion of the vehicle roof for bikes, kayaks, boards, cargo or other equipment. Once opened, it provides a full 84" x 47" two-person sleeping platform.
The Foothill 2 is the current-generation version of the same space-saving concept. Its key updates include a thicker 6 cm mattress, 100% recycled solution-dyed polyester fabric and updated Thule mounting rails. The original Foothill uses a 4 cm mattress and its original mounting system.
Value. At $1,779.95, the original Foothill is $970 less than the current $2,749.95 Foothill 2 while retaining the fundamental half-width design, two-person sleeping capacity and compact rooftop footprint that made the Foothill unique.
Yes. The original Foothill includes a 4 cm foam mattress with a removable, machine-washable cover.
That is one of the primary advantages of the Foothill design. Its narrow 24-inch closed width can preserve roof space for compatible bike, kayak or other carriers. Your final setup still needs to remain within the vehicle and rack system's applicable load and fitment requirements.
Professional rooftop-tent installation is available through participating Cap-it locations. We can also help confirm whether your vehicle and existing roof-rack system are suitable before installation.
THE CAP-IT TAKE
The Foothill Still Solves a Problem Most Rooftop Tents Don't.
The reason we like the Foothill has never really changed. If you're a cyclist, paddler, skier or anyone else who actually needs to use the roof for more than a tent, the half-width design is incredibly practical.
The new Foothill 2 is better in several areas. The thicker mattress is meaningful, the updated fabric is a nice improvement and the latest mounting system has advantages.
But the new tent is also $2,749.95.
At $1,779.95, we'd have no hesitation choosing the original Foothill if value matters more to you than having the newest generation. Saving $970 buys a lot of bikes, paddling gear or weekends away.
