James Baroud

Evasion

Among all the horizontally opening tents on the market, the James Baroud Evasion roof top tent has the largest interior volume.

With its larger overall internal space, the Evasion provides comfortable space for adults to sit upright in either end of the tent. With its full 360º panoramic windows, air circulates freely though the tent in warmer climates.

The tent opens in less than 1 minute, through four hydraulic cylinders, mounted on bearings, actuating the articulated arms, that are protected by a canvas cover. The tent can be closed by only one person and in the same time. An incorporated elastic band around the canvas assure its inclusion inside the tent during the closing.

For extreme conditions, ventilation can also be assisted by the solar powered ventilation system. Access to the tent is easily gained by using the telescoping ladder that comes standard with all James Baroud rooftop tents and can attach to either side of the tent.
