Alpine Roof Top Tent With Ladder by San Hima
You know that moment when you wake up before the rest of the campsite, unzip the tent, and just listen? Birds, wind through the trees, maybe the ocean if you picked the right spot. The San Hima Alpine rooftop tent is built around that feeling. Simple, lightweight, and easy to live with, it’s made for people who want to get out there without overcomplicating their setup.
One of the first things you’ll notice is the visibility. Four integrated skyview windows give you a clear view in every direction, whether you’re watching the sun come up or lying back under the stars. It makes the tent feel open and airy, not boxed in. And when it’s time to close up, it packs down neatly and stays compact on your roof, which matters if you’re running a smaller vehicle or daily driving during the week.
Despite its low-profile design, there’s plenty of usable space inside for two adults, with enough headroom to sit up and move around comfortably. The materials are chosen for real-world use too. The 300D PU-coated polyester fabric provides solid weather protection with 3,000 mm waterproofing and UV 50+ resistance, while the aluminium honeycomb floor adds strength without adding unnecessary weight.
Everything about the Alpine is designed to make setup, pack-down, and day-to-day use easier. From the full-coverage canopy that helps keep you dry getting in and out, to the internal storage pockets that stop your gear ending up in a pile on the floor, it’s a straightforward tent that does its job well. No gimmicks, just a reliable place to sleep wherever you pull up for the night.

How does it mount to my roof rack, and what's the mounting spacing?
It mounts to your existing roof rack or crossbars using the included mounting kit, with a mounting rail spacing of 76.5 cm. The tent weighs 36.9 kg before you add the ladder, mattress and gear, so check your rack's dynamic load rating covers that combined weight before fitting.
Will this fit my Suzuki Jimny?
The Alpine's mounting kit is designed to bolt onto a twin-crossbar roof rack via its 76.5 cm rail spacing, so physical fitment to a Jimny generally isn't the limiting factor. Weight is the real consideration. The tent alone weighs 36.9 kg, and Suzuki's owner's manual lists a dynamic (while-driving) roof load rating of 30 kg for the Jimny, covering the roof rack and everything mounted to it. That means the tent's weight alone already exceeds that driving limit before you add crossbars, a mattress or the ladder. Static roof load while parked is typically rated higher than the dynamic driving figure, so using the tent once you've stopped for the night isn't the concern, it's specifically the driving load that's worth knowing about before committing. We'd recommend confirming your Jimny's roof rack rating with Suzuki or your rack supplier first.
What's the difference between a soft shell and a hard shell rooftop tent?
Soft shell tents like the Alpine fold out from fabric walls rather than a rigid clamshell. That typically means more interior space and a lighter, more affordable unit, with a slightly longer pack-up than a hard shell design.
