The Thule Outset is changing the way people camp. As the first towbar-mounted tent designed for the aftermarket, it delivers a completely new level of convenience and comfort for weekend explorers, road trippers and everyday adventurers.
What Makes the Thule Outset Unique?
The Thule Outset is the world’s first towbar-mounted car tent available for the aftermarket. Unlike roof tents, it attaches directly to your car’s towbar and sits fully off the ground. That means no roof racks, no climbing ladders, and no compromises on comfort.
Whether you’re stopping overnight on a road trip, camping at a festival, or setting up base for a family weekend away, the Outset makes it quick, easy and comfortable.

Why Choose a Towbar Tent?
Towbar tents like the Outset are ideal for anyone who wants a convenient camping setup without the hassle of roof racks, ladders or ground tents. They’re easy to pitch, fast to pack away, and they keep you raised off cold or uneven terrain.
