The Orion 1400 Rooftop Tent fits to the crossbars or roof rack already on your vehicle, and all mounting hardware is included. The figure that decides it is your rack's dynamic weight rating: what the bars are approved to carry while the vehicle is moving, which is a lower number than the static rating that applies when you are parked.
Work that out against the whole roof load rather than the tent alone. The Orion 1400 is rated to carry up to 110 lbs of gear in transit on its own roof, so if you plan to run panels or bikes up there, the rack underneath has to support the tent and that load together.

A Second Number Once You Are Camped
With the Orion 1400 open you can keep up to 65 lbs of gear on the roof. That is a separate, lower allowance than the 110 lbs it carries in transit, so plan the two around each other.
[/card]
Yes, there is plenty of room to leave sleeping bags and pillows inside the Orion 1400 Rooftop Tent when it is packed down. Pack-down is closing the lid and latching the two latches at the base, so bedding already on the mattress goes down with the tent.
The one thing to clear first is the awnings. If you have had the front and side entry awnings staked out with the included poles, roll the awnings away and pack the poles before the lid comes down.
[info]
For the wash: the mattress cover is removable, with a soft top and a polyester base that is machine washable, so the layer under your sleeping bag can come out and go through a cycle.
[/info]
Internal storage pockets for glasses, books, phones and clothing are built in as well, so bedding is not the only thing with a home inside the tent.
Yes, generally. The Orion 1400 Rooftop Tent mounts to third-party racks as well as factory bars, as long as you use the tent bracket clamps made for the rack you own.
Those clamps come from the rack manufacturer rather than from us. Prinsu, for example, makes tent bracket clamps that suit how our tents mount, and other platform rack builders offer their own version of the same part. The Orion 1400 includes all mounting hardware for the tent itself, so the clamp is the piece you source to match your bars.
[info]
Check first: our mounting solutions are fairly universal and fit these third-party racks without issues, but we haven't tested every rack on the market, so confirm the clamps suit yours before you buy.
[/info]
Whichever rack you settle on, its own dynamic weight rating still governs whether a rooftop tent can go up there, so look that figure up at the same time as the clamps.
The dynamic rating is the one that decides it for the Orion 1400 Rooftop Tent.
[card]
Dynamic
What your rack is approved to carry while the vehicle is moving. Driving loads the bars far harder than standing still does, so this is the lower of the two figures and it is what governs whether a rooftop tent can be carried.
[/card]
[card]
Static
What the rack may hold when parked. It is a much higher number, since nothing is bouncing or braking, and it is the figure that covers the tent plus its occupants once you are set up in camp.
[/card]
Neither number comes from us. Both are published by the rack manufacturer, so check the specifications for your exact bars or platform. Remember the dynamic figure has to cover the tent and anything riding with it, including whatever you mount on the Orion 1400's own roof plates.
Dry the Orion 1400 Rooftop Tent fully before you close it and mildew largely takes care of itself. Fabric packed away damp is what causes it.
[card]
Before Pack-Down
Open the windows and doors while you break camp so air moves through, then check the floor corners, the seams and under the mattress. The blackout-coated 320gsm Ripstop Nylon can feel dry on the outside and still hold moisture underneath.
[/card]
[card]
After A Wet Trip
If rain forced you to pack up wet, set the tent up again at home as soon as you can and let it dry out completely. There is room to leave sleeping bags and pillows inside when it is packed, but not damp ones.
[/card]
[card]
Stay On Top Of Marks
Deal with mildew spotting as soon as you notice it rather than at the end of the season. The removable mattress cover is machine washable, so that layer can be cleaned separately.
[/card]
Orion 1400 is the perfect choice; simple, robust, and fast.
Blackout Fabric: Sleep longer with blackout-coated 320gsm Ripstop Nylon, for temperature and light control.
Windows With Awnings: There's plenty of ventilation with 3 windows/doors to help reduce condensation and awnings to help further protect from the elements.
High-Density Foam Mattess: The included high-density foam mattress with a 3D anti-condensation mat provides support and comfort for a long night's sleep.
Heater Hose Inlet: Camping in cold weather? Our tent features a heater hose inlet for an external heat source such as a diesel heater.
Built-In Power: Includes a dual USB outlet and a 12V cigarette outlet. Power is connected through a 50A Anderson plug.
Simple Set-Up & Pack-Down: Simple set-up with two latches at the base of the tent, pop them open, and push up with assisted gas struts. Included awnings poles give you the option to set up additional protection or roll away if not needed. Pack-down is as simple as closing the lid and latches, there's plenty of room to leave sleeping bags and pillows inside.
Carry Gear On Your Roof: Carry up to 110 lbs in transit on the roof of your Orion 1400 rooftop tent. Roof plates and side tracks make it easy to mount a wide range of accessories, like solar panels and bikes. When the Orion is open, keep up to 65 lbs of gear on the roof.
Customers praised the quick setup and durable construction. "Great quality" with excellent materials, rain fly design, and useful features like pockets and interior lighting. However, some noted issues with mounting hardware, latches opening unexpectedly, and condensation from poor insulation.
Excellent tent. Wanted some thing that wasn’t super light for durability and had numerous entries. This checks the boxes.
Positives are very fast setup, no light gets through, rack for solar.
Negatives are the latches sometimes open, the rubber seal relies on pressure instead of adding an inside lip all around, very heavy, bad insulation/air circulation as it condenses big time on the inside.
Easy setup but the mounting hardware could be better
First off, the packaging blew me away, much better packed that competitions rtts! The rain fly is nice, will be cool to tuck it away during warm camping. So many pockets and a nice light inside. Better construction than other brand counterparts, curious how it will hold up to continuous use come summer! Free awning made it exceptionally worthwhile!
This is a great tent! love the new materials, new rain fly design that allows you to use it, or not. Comfortable to sleep in. Should have plenty of room for bedding inside. Hinges are crazy nice, roof racks are nice. Really Great Value
What are the sleeping area dimensions?
The Orion 1400 sleeps 2 adults, with a 2" high-density foam mattress over a 0.4" 3D anti-condensation mat. Set up, the tent measures 90.5" x 55.1" x 64.2" overall. We don't publish a separate sleeping area measurement.
Does the Orion tent compatible with the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?
The Orion 1400 mounts to the crossbars or roof rack already on your vehicle rather than to the vehicle itself, and all mounting hardware is included, so whether it suits your 2024 Crosstrek comes down to your bars. The tent weighs 202 lbs, so check that against your rack's dynamic weight rating, which is what the bars are approved to carry while the vehicle is moving, and against the roof load limit for the vehicle. Our mounting is fairly universal, but we haven't tested every rack on the market, so double-check your bars before you order.

The Orion 1400 comes with its own front and side entry awnings, and the included awning poles let you set them up for extra protection or roll them away when you don't need them.
