All James Baroud tents (except the Nomad 160) feature a patented gas strut-assisted opening mechanism, making set up incredibly fast and easy – less than 30 seconds, and nearly as quick to collapse back down.
Hardshell and folding tents are simple to install. Tents feature reinforced mounting rails integrated into the lower shell/platform of the tent, and include installation brackets allowing easy direct mount to most aftermarket roof rack systems.
Access to the tent is easily gained by using the specially-designed telescoping aluminum ladder. Our unique design automatically adjusts to the height of your vehicle and prevents bending while you’re in the tent.
