  • ADVANTAGES FOR USERS:

  • Hard-shell roof provides complete protection from rain without the hassle of a rain fly.

  • Foam insulation in the roof means it is cool in the sun.

  • Being solidly connected to the vehicle means it stands up to wind.

  • Screen windows, floor, and elastic around the vehicle keep out bugs.

  • it takes less than 5 minutes to deploy or stow (watch the video on the VIDEOS page).

  • Everything stores inside the closed roof, so it is always ready to go. Just grab your food and clothes and head out.

  • You have access to the inside of your vehicle, so it becomes part of the enclosed, bugproof space.

  • This version has 88 square feet of floor space. This is probably the smallest size we'd make - the first prototype was 100 sq. ft.

  • The wing roofs fold in to create a weatherproof box that contains the wall fabric. It sits just eight inches tall on top of the vehicle.

  • A roof rack can be mounted on the side rails. You could even put a rooftop tent on top of the HutTrip (if your roof is strong enough).

  • This prototype is 200 lbs. The largest piece weighs 60 lbs. so it can be easily handled by two people.

  • Can be stored off-season by leaning it against a garage wall.

  • A solar panel charges the battery to provide electricity for the LED lights, USB charging ports, and 12 volt power for a cooler, etc.

  • The screen door closes with magnets for easy entry and is backed up by a zipper for a definite closure.

  • With extra poles and guy lines, the roof can be self-supporting. This allows the vehicle to be used without breaking down camp.

  • ADVANTAGES FOR A LICENSEE:

  • U.S. Patent 11,505,108 means exclusive rights until 2040.

  • Not limited to just trucks - the same setup would work on Jeeps and a lot of SUVs.
  • With a mechanism to raise the rack, the HutTrip could fit on short vehicles.
  • The next prototype we build will be for very tall vehicles, like Sprinter vans.
  • The HutTrip would be a great addition to all these small overland trailers with outside kitchens.
  • You could build a version with no floor and only three or just one wall for tradespeople to use as a sheltered workspace.
  • A similar setup would make a great booth for selling things at outdoor shows.
  • There are many more situations where an easily deployed but protective shelter is useful.
