Closed, the Nova King sits at just 42\" wide by 78\" long — compact enough for an above-cab rack or a full-length SUV roof rack without consuming it. On a roof rack, that leaves usable space alongside or ahead of the tent for the rest of your build. Fold it out and it becomes a true 72\" wide by 82\" long sleeping space — 3 to 4 people, zero support poles, under a minute from latched to lying down. Same aluminum shell durability as the Kali King at a lower price point, scaled for the rigs and groups that need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 42\" Closed Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e The narrowest packed width in the family-size RTT category.

That's the tradeoff — you get the sleeping space, you give up roof real estate. The Nova King challenges that. The 42\" closed width fits cleanly on a 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Tundra, or mid-size truck bed rack without pushing gear off the roof. It's the tent for the overlander who wants family capacity but builds their rig like a single-person setup — with room for everything else alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardshell foldout rooftop tent, gas-strut assisted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-4 people\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum hard shell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior Dimensions (Closed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42\" W x 78\" L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior Dimensions (Deployed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72\" W x 82\" L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTent Body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProprietary Tri-Layer fabric (polycotton fill, waterproof ripstop outer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeasonality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-season use, 100% waterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBedding Storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheets, pillows, light comforter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbove-cab racks, SUV roof racks, 4Runners, Land Cruisers, full-size trucks, 3-4 person trips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNova King aluminum hard shell rooftop tent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMemory foam mattress (pre-sized)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTelescoping aluminum ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated dimmable LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle mount kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrossbars (sold separately if needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiesel heater or 12V power source\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNova King Tent Cover (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate — two-person initial mount recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-60 minutes for first install with crossbars in place\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTools Needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard metric sockets and wrenches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Teardown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas-strut foldout deploys in under a minute.
