EEZI-AWN STEALTH Roof Tent
EEZI-AWN STEALTH: The Pinnacle of Roof Tent Engineering
For those willing to invest a little more, the STEALTH delivers a dramatic leap in build quality, all-season performance, and unmatched comfort — setting a new benchmark for expedition-grade roof tents in New Zealand and beyond.
Note: When comparing this model to roof tents marketed as “designed in NZ” or “Australia,” look closer. These are typically generic imports, simply rebranded for the local market, and offer performance similar to our SUB60 — a solid mid-range option. For those seeking truly premium performance, our globally proven brands are in a league of their own, with clear advantages in materials quality, durability, and real-world performance across all climates world-wide.
With over 40 years of innovation, EEZI-AWN has earned global recognition for producing some of the world’s most trusted commercial and expedition-grade roof tents — all meticulously handcrafted in Johannesburg, South Africa. A brand of choice for serious overlanders, EEZI-AWN products have been tested and proven across every major continent.
Unrivalled Canvas. Unmistakable Quality.
Photos can’t fully capture the premium feel of the 340gsm South premium canvas used on the STEALTH. A very superior world-class canvas, this material delivers exceptional light-blocking, thermal insulation, and longevity — far beyond what's commonly found on the NZ market. EEZI-AWN canvas is built to last decades, not just seasons.
Ultimate All-Climate Performance
With insulated aluminium top and bottom shells paired with the superior canvas, the STEALTH stands among the best-performing roof tents available in New Zealand — engineered to thrive in any climate, on any continent.
A Real Bed — Not Just a Pad
This isn’t just a mattress; designed to offer the most comfortable sleeping surface in any roof tent. See the photos — or better yet, try it for yourself.
Innovative Scissor-Lift Front Opening
The original front-opening scissor mechanism activates automatically when opening or closing from the rear. This gives the STEALTH the ease and speed of a 60-second setup while dramatically increasing internal space — and crucially, eliminates the cramped foot-end common in traditional clamshell designs. Ideal for taller people. The front lift system is robustly engineered and built to last — something that photos alone can’t fully convey.
Integrated Tech and Smart Storage
National Luna LED ceiling light
Twin USB charging ports, hardwired and ready for your devices
Ladder storage: Uniquely integrated into a dedicated chassis compartment, keeping everything sleek and secure
Aerodynamic shell: Just 160mm at the front, tapering to 320mm at the rear, preserving internal volume for your bedding without compromising airflow
Ready for the Roughest Conditions
The oversized canvas fly is storm-ready. In extreme wind, it can be quickly zippered tight against the tent body — all from inside the tent. This feature minimizes canvas flapping, reduces potential wear, and ensures a quieter, more restful night. In real-world conditions, this simple design becomes a standout advantage.
Expert Reviews
"Sleeping in the Stealth is a joy: the thick canvas blocks out nearly all light, and the weight of the material minimizes flapping. I cannot overstate how good the mattress is, its firmness and thickness completely support me as a side sleeper. It is not just a foam pad with a thin cover, but a nearly 5-inch cloud of overlanding dreams".... "While I do not always use rooftop tents when I travel, I enjoyed this model enough that it has become a permanent addition to my personal vehicle camping options".

"There are legendary players in the category like Eezi-Awn who have never been tempted to fight for the bottom dollar, a place where products and consumer expectations go to die. They have always placed quality at the top of their priority list. It’s the directive that has made them industry leaders for decades. Their new Stealth hard shell roof top tent follows their company mission with an uncompromising shelter aimed at the most demanding travelers".
