The TentBox
story

 
1956
A vintage car roof tent from 1956

A very British invention

Inventor Victor Rosen designed a simple and functional roof tent way back in the 50s. It didn't take off as roof bars were hard to come by - which massively changed in the 21st century!

2014

A dream was born

Whilst travelling around France, brothers Ollie and Neill had a dream to make roof top tents the next big thing by designing roof tents that could fit on any vehicle.

2015
