About Feldon Shelter
Feldon Shelter is a New Zealand brand that designs rooftop tents and touring gear for exploring the country the way it is best seen: from the back roads, with camp set up wherever the day ends. Its rooftop tents are designed here with New Zealand weather and touring in mind, combining practical features with a clean, considered look.
A rooftop tent mounts on your vehicle's roof rack, so your bed is off the ground, away from mud and water, and ready in minutes. That makes it popular for road trips, surf trips and 4WD touring, where you move camp often.
For many touring couples and families, a rooftop tent means arriving late, opening the tent and being in bed in minutes, without hunting for a flat, dry patch of ground. Feldon Shelter tents come in grey and green to suit different vehicles and tastes.
Crow's Nest and Hawk's Nest
The Crow's Nest is Feldon Shelter's soft shell rooftop tent, available in Regular and Extended sizes. It folds out over the side or back of the vehicle, supported by its ladder, and a Bonus Room attaches underneath to add a sheltered space for changing, storing gear or extra sleeping room. Family bundles pair a Crow's Nest with a Bonus Room in one purchase.
The Hawk's Nest is the hard shell option, with an aluminium shell that sets up quickly and closes into a slim, low-profile box. Tent-mounted roof rack kits and solar panel mount kits let you carry gear and power on top of the Hawk's Nest.

Frequently asked questions about Feldon Shelter
Is Feldon Shelter a New Zealand brand?
Yes. Feldon Shelter is a New Zealand brand that designs its rooftop tents and touring accessories here, with local roads, weather and touring in mind. Its range includes the Crow's Nest soft shell rooftop tent, the Hawk's Nest hard shell rooftop tent, Bonus Rooms, roof rack kits and accessories, all built to help New Zealanders explore the country from the back of their vehicle.
What is the difference between the Feldon Shelter Crow's Nest and Hawk's Nest?
The Crow's Nest is a soft shell rooftop tent that folds out to create a large sleeping area, with the option of a Bonus Room underneath. The Hawk's Nest is a hard shell rooftop tent with an aluminium shell that sets up quickly and closes into a slimmer, lower-profile box, and it can carry a roof rack and solar panels on top. Choose the Crow's Nest for space and the Hawk's Nest for speed and a lower profile.
What is a Feldon Shelter Bonus Room?
A Bonus Room is an enclosed room that attaches underneath a Crow's Nest rooftop tent, using the space under the fold-out section. It gives you a sheltered area to change, store gear out of the weather or add extra sleeping space for children or a friend. Bonus Rooms are made to match the Crow's Nest Regular and Extended, and come in different heights to suit different vehicles.
Can my vehicle carry a Feldon Shelter rooftop tent?
Check two ratings before buying. Your vehicle's roof load rating, found in the owner's manual, tells you how much weight the roof can carry while driving, and your roof rack must also be rated for the tent's weight. When parked, the static load a roof can support is much higher, which is why rooftop tents can hold people sleeping inside. If you are unsure, ask our team or a roof rack specialist before fitting.
How quickly does a Feldon Shelter rooftop tent set up?
Rooftop tents are designed for fast setup. The Hawk's Nest hard shell opens quickly once its latches are released, and the Crow's Nest soft shell folds out and is supported by its ladder. Compared with pitching a ground tent, you skip finding flat ground and pegging out, which is why rooftop tents are so popular for touring trips where you move camp every night or two.
Do I need a ladder extension for a Feldon Shelter rooftop tent?
It depends on your vehicle's height. The ladder needs to reach the ground at a safe, comfortable angle when the tent is open. On taller vehicles, such as lifted 4WDs or vans, the standard ladder may be too short, and a Feldon Shelter ladder extension adds the extra length. Measure from the top of your roof rack to the ground before you buy, and check it against the ladder length.
What accessories are available for Feldon Shelter rooftop tents?
Feldon Shelter makes accessories to make touring easier, including Bonus Rooms for the Crow's Nest, ladder extensions for taller vehicles, camp rolls, shoe pockets, rooftop tent security nut kits and, for the Hawk's Nest, tent-mounted roof rack kits and solar panel mounts. They are designed to work with Feldon Shelter tents, so check the listing to make sure an accessory matches your model.
