    The Motop Expand Series NEXT GEN is designed for those who want comfort, durability, and versatility in one clever bi-fold package. Built tough for Australian conditions, it combines a spacious interior, premium bedding, and integrated electrics with the rugged reliability Motop tents are known for. Whether you’re on a weekend trip or a cross-country adventure, this tent makes camping simple, comfortable, and stress-free.

     

    Spacious Bi-Fold Design with Sky Vision
    The innovative bi-fold design expands internal living space, giving you more headroom and comfort than traditional clamshell tents. A built-in sky-view window lets you stargaze at night or enjoy natural light during the day, all while staying fully protected from the elements.

    Rugged Yet Lightweight Alloy Shell

    Engineered from ultra-light but incredibly strong 20mm honeycomb aluminium panels with CNC-cut extrusions, the Expand Series is built to last. Powder-coated for weather resistance and fitted with German-made gas struts, the shell is rust-free, rattle-free, and ready for Australia’s toughest terrains.

    Year-Round Canvas & Rain Protection

    Made from 300GSM rip-stop canvas that’s fully waterproof, breathable, and blackout-lined, this tent ensures a dry, insect-free, and light-blocked sleep environment. Each entrance includes triple-layer protection (fly screen, canvas, and thermal layer), keeping you warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable year-round.

    Premium Sleep System for On-the-Road Comfort

    The Expand Series comes with a 60mm thick high-density memory foam mattress and two memory foam pillows for a restful night’s sleep. An anti-condensation mat keeps bedding dry, while removable side wall skirts provide extra insulation and warmth during colder nights.

    Integrated Power, Lighting & Ventilation

    Equipped with a built-in electrical panel, you’ll have USB, Type-C, and 12V outlets at your fingertips, along with a multi-colour dimmable LED ceiling light. High-quality accessories like a telescopic ladder, two shoe bags, and integrated roof racks come standard, making setup easy and storage practical.

    Designed for Real-World Adventure

    From German-engineered gas struts for smooth operation, to removable shoe bags, roof racks, and a 2.3m telescopic ladder, every detail has been tested in the field. Whether it’s a weekend away or a cross-country expedition, the MT-135 Expand makes camping effortless, secure, and comfortable.

    Which Roof Top Tent is best for you?

    • Soft Shell

    • Hard Shell

    • Hard Shell Expander

    Soft shell tents are a great option if you're after maximum space without blowing the budget. They fold out into a large sleeping area — ideal for families or longer trips. Most come with annexes and extra room for gear, but they do take longer to set up and are bulkier when packed. Great if you’re staying put for a few days and want plenty of room to move.

    Shop Soft Shell RTT

    Hard shell tents are all about speed and simplicity. They’re sleek, compact, and can be set up in under two minutes — perfect for overnighters or quick getaways. With better insulation, aerodynamics, and weather protection, they’re ideal for couples or solo travellers. The trade-off? Less interior space and usually a higher price point.

    Shop Hard Shell RTT

    Expandable hard shells give you the best of both worlds — fast setup with a bit more room. They open like a regular clamshell but include an additional fold-out section to expand the sleeping area. You still get the strength and low-profile of a hard shell, just with more space inside. Slightly heavier, but worth it if you want comfort without the hassle.
