Stellantis has recently patented an exciting new rooftop tent designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler enthusiasts. This innovative Jeep rooftop tent patent aims to tackle the common issues we’ve all faced with traditional rooftop tents, like added height, extra weight, and those cumbersome external ladders.

Jeep Rooftop Tent Highlights

• Stellantis has patented a rooftop tent specifically for the Jeep Wrangler that integrates with the vehicle’s removable roof panels.

• When not in use, the tent collapses into a low-profile roof than aftermarket rooftop tents.

• The patent includes drawings of an optional awning for extra sheltered space and an electrical system

• Production plans have not been officially announced.

A Perfect Fit for Your Wrangler

What sets this design apart is how it seamlessly integrates with the Wrangler’s existing roof. By utilizing the openings left by the removable roof panels, the tent attaches directly to the vehicle.

This means you can access your sleeping area from inside your Jeep, sparing you from braving the elements to climb into bed. Plus, when it’s packed away, the tent maintains a sleek, low-profile look, helping to keep your fuel efficiency and vehicle stability in check.

This factory-integrated design is reminiscent of aftermarket solutions like those offered by Ursa Minor. The J30 pop-up camper, for instance, replaces the factory hardtop of the Wrangler and allows interior access to the sleeping area. However, based on the patent images, Jeep’s design appears to offer more interior space than the Ursa Minor J30.

Comfort Meets Convenience

Once set up, the tent offers a spacious and weather-resistant haven for your adventures. There’s even an optional awning to extend your sheltered space, perfect for relaxing outside.

And for those of us who love our gadgets, the tent comes equipped with an electrical system that can hook up to your Jeep’s power or operate on its own. This setup allows for handy features like lighting, charging ports, and even climate control, making your camping experience all the more enjoyable.

Please Make It To Market

While securing a patent is a promising step, it doesn’t always mean a product will hit the market. However, we’re genuinely excited about the potential of this rooftop tent and are keeping our fingers crossed that it becomes available for all the Jeep adventurers out there. We have no idea what the upcharge would be for this, though given that aftermarket options can run north of 10K, it’s a safe bet it won’t be cheap. It’s also possible that it will be offered on one or more limited trim levels.
