More Space. More Strength. Built for Every Season.

The Basin is a full aluminum platform hybrid rooftop tent built for overlanders who want the durability and instant setup of a hardshell without giving up the space to actually live in it. At 132 pounds it is the lightest full aluminum platform hybrid RTT in its class, packs to a 7.1" profile that drives clean, and opens into a flat sleeping platform wide enough for two adults with 53" of interior height.

Inside, a 2" high-density memory foam mattress, full blackout canvas, and panoramic windows make every campsite worth staying at. A built-in power management system, dimmable LEDs, and an integrated diesel heater port mean you are not just sleeping out here. You are living out here.

Key Features:

▪️ Full Aluminum Shell, Top and Bottom: No composites, no honeycomb filler. Built to take washboard roads, mountain weather, and years of hard use without complaining.

▪️ Full Platform Interior: Opens to a flat sleeping surface for two adults with 53" of interior height. No wedge taper, no dead zones.

▪️ Sub-60 Second Setup: Release the latches, the shell opens, deploy the ladder. Pack-down is the same.

▪️ 7.1" Slim Profile: Sits low on your rack and drives like it is not even there.

▪️ Integrated Smart Features: Built-in power management system keeps devices charged. Dimmable LEDs set the mood. Integrated diesel heater port and optional insulated walls handle the coldest nights.

▪️ Awning and Crossbar Compatible: Awning mounts directly to the shell. Optional crossbars carry bikes, traction boards, and rotopax.

▪️ Organized Storage: Interior storage pockets and two hanging cargo bags keep gear off the platform and in reach.

What people are saying about us

Testimonials

Angela M

Can’t say enough good things about Mike and the Spirit team. Definitely the go-to shop for all things camp / overland / outdoor. He helped me figure out what roof rack would work best for my 4Runner, and the rooftop tent + awning that fit my budget and what I was looking for. Don’t miss out on their camp accessories and gear either — 5 stars all around.

Mike over at Spirit is an absolute legend in the overlanding space here in Colorado. He’s been in the industry long enough to easily identify a fad versus a trend and is passionate about quality products that will make your time outdoors better. He knows the products he sells and is committed to finding the perfect fit for your adventure rig. I can’t recommend him and his team enough.

Alex M.

Mike and Spirit of 1876 are top notch, he's the most knowledgeable person I've found in the overland/accessory market and he'll tell you what products are worth your while, and which are not based on real world experience... He sells only the best products, and doesn't sell what's popular just because XYZ company put a bunch of money into marketing. Trust Mike with your next purchase of anything in the overland accessory field, he won't steer you wrong.
