TEDPoP: World’s First Pop-Up Dual Expandable Rooftop Tent
The next generation of the World’s Most Spacious Pop-Up Hardshell Rooftop Tent that allows you to make your own portable home anywhere.
There are lots of exciting things to love about camping but setting up your tent is rarely one of them. Lugging it around while it’s packed up can be quite a hassle and pitching it usually ends up being way more complicated than it should be.
TEDPoP makes sleeping off the ground super easy and convenient. Just unfold it and you are ready to go! After you install TEDPoP once, you can use it to camp whenever and wherever you want.
TEDPoP offers an enormous space allowing up to 5 people to lay down comfortably at once due to dual expandable panels on both sides of the tent.
It offers a non-obstructed 360°all-around view that is generally not possible in the case of expandable rooftop tents due to their structure.Since there are 2 entrances, you can change the direction of the tent entry to any side that you prefer as well.
TEDPoP’s tent skin material is applied with a high-density canvas fabric to maximize air permeability. Along with that, a fly material equipped with features complementing the canvas skin is used simultaneously to block UV and demonstrate perfect waterproof qualities.
The super water-repellent premium canvas is a material newly coming to the fore in the tent industry and is a fabric used to draw oil paintings. Because it’s an excellent moisture absorber, you won’t have to worry about condensation forming inside the tent. As a material with self-waterproof features, it boasts durability that withstands even the strongest rains with ease.
One of the annoyances commonly experienced in typical camping tents is “condensation.” This refers to the phenomenon where the differences in indoor and outdoor temperatures cause the vapor in the air to turn into water drops within the tent. This process occurs frequently in general polyester material tents and gives a hard time to campers in hot or cold weather conditions.
To solve this problem, TEDPoP has adopted a newly developed insulation method. By utilizing an insulated closed-cell structure with maximized insulation, we’ve drastically minimized condensation, which was a fatal drawback of existing products. We have also developed the world’s first thermally static composite panel (3 layers in the picture below) and are currently in process of getting a patent. The panel improves temperature-resistant stability while fundamentally blocking the persistent condensation of other Rooftop Tent products.
Additionally, boosting air permeability by applying the high-density premium canvas fabric as the tent skin material has played a huge role in wiping out condensation as well.
The exterior with a streamlined form that resembles a clamshell is crafted in an aerodynamic design. Such design manifesting a structure that can minimize wind resistance is not only safe to use in strong winds, including typhoons, but also helps minimize reduced fuel efficiency and noise.
TEDS has opted for ABS material instead of FRP used in average tents, embodying the pro-environment aspect, and at the same time, has grafted a condensation-preventing technology by applying 2-3 insulating layers.
Ref. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic): Despite being plastic, this is a hybrid material made with a compound of various materials and is completely unrecyclable, which has become a major cause of environmental pollution and has led the recent related industries to drop its use.
In addition to these features, the high-strength aluminum honeycomb panel doesn’t alter its shape, even when faced with a uniform load of 2000lbs. This is thanks to it utilizing the same material which is used to make aircraft wings, meaning that it’s adapted for maximum durability.
When you raise the cover to a certain height, the expanding force of the condensed gas strut bar increases, causing the hard shell to open automatically. Following the opened hard shell, the extension panels on both sides consecutively open by the movement of the link structure.
Most hardshell rooftop tents on the market were optimized for a smaller group of people, from 1 to 4 people maximum. However, TEDPoP allows up to 5 people to sleep comfortably inside. This is achieved through dual expandable panels that extend from both sides of the main panel. However, adopting such a structure would lengthen the cantilever as much as the extended panel’s length, hindering the tent pitching, and the moment arm would also be lengthened, possibly becoming a shaky factor in durability aspects including stability and load capacity.
The highlight of TEDPoP is that in order to overcome this obstacle, we have divided the extension panel to both ends of the main panel, and by reducing the moment arm, we facilitated high stability and even the convenience of a pop-up.
