WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU INVEST

If you’re thinking about buying a roof top tent today, you’re not alone—and you're definitely not imagining things when it feels overwhelming. With so many roof top tents on the market, and so many looking and sounding the same, it's easy to get confused.

Here at James Baroud, we’ve spent the last 25 years designing, innovating, and manufacturing premium hard shell roof top tents in our own factory in Europe. In that time, we’ve seen countless brands come and go—especially since the surge in camping post-pandemic. As interest in 4WD camping and outdoor travel exploded, so too did a wave of new tent brands trying to cash in on the boom.

But here’s what sets us apart: we’re in it for the long haul.

With thousands of tents on the road around the world, and over a decade supporting customers in Australia, we know what it truly takes to build the best roof top tents—and how tough and costly that process really is. In fact, some of our very first James Baroud tents imported into Australia over 13 years ago are still going strong today.

And that longevity is no accident.

We believe the #1 thing our customers need is support—especially when something eventually wears out or breaks after years of real use. That’s why we stock all spare parts and accessories right here in Australia, ready to help you quickly—whether it’s a warranty repair, post-warranty fix, or even for a second-hand James Baroud tent. We don’t design for obsolescence. We design to last.

When you buy a James Baroud roof top tent, you’re not just buying gear—you’re joining a global family that has your back for every kilometre. No other brand in the market builds with this same ethos of longevity, service, and integrity.

So here’s our message to new campers and seasoned overlanders alike: Don’t be swayed by brands that just look good online. In the real world—where rugged terrain, wild weather, and remote locations push gear to its limits—you need a tent that’s truly been pressure-tested over decades.

Trust James Baroud for the journey ahead.
We’re with you for the long haul.
