The TentBox
story
Our story so far...

A very British invention
Inventor Victor Rosen designed a simple and functional rooftop 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!

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

Our first prototypes
Our first prototypes arrived, and we were literally operating out of a garage! We began selling rooftop tents to the UK market.

As TentBox grew, we upscaled the operation, which included opening our first warehouse.

Expanding the TentBox HQ
We moved into a new, much larger office space with attached demo area. This gave our Product Specialists a more comfortable space to keep up our amazing customer service.
