LX27 Gen 2 Lightweight Roof top tent
Discover the perfect balance of rugged durability, lightweight design, and effortless setup with The Bush Company’s LX27 Gen 2 Lightweight Rooftop Tent. Engineered for 4WD touring, overlanding, and remote camping, the LX27 Gen 2 delivers premium performance without the weight penalty.
Featherweight Frame, Full-Sized Comfort
Weighing just 81kg, the LX27 Gen 2 is the lightest hardshell tent in The Bush Company’s lineup. Its ultra-low 176mm closed height is garage-friendly and improves vehicle aerodynamics. Despite its slim build, it opens to a spacious 1.6m internal height—enough room to sit upright and move comfortably after a long day on the tracks. You can also leave your bedding stored inside when the tent is closed, thanks to 70mm of internal clearance.
Built for Fast Setup. Ready for Harsh Conditions.
When seconds count, the LX27 Gen 2 delivers. The gas-strut-assisted clamshell mechanism deploys your tent in under 60 seconds. Built for the Australian outback, the construction ensures superior protection and longevity:
- Robust Structure: Features a seam-welded B-Tech™ extruded aluminium frame with fully welded corners.
- Premium Canvas: Utilises South African-made, dual-layer 260gsm acrylic-infused ripstop canvas to resist mould, mildew, UV damage, and dust.

Comfort You Can Count On.
Enjoy superior rest on the premium 70mm dual-layer foam mattress, which combines a 30mm memory foam top layer with a 40mm super high-density foam base, all sitting on a marine carpet underlay to combat condensation.
- Ventilation: Excellent airflow via a mesh-covered rear airflow vent, a dedicated roof vent, and three large premium midge-mesh covered canvas doors/windows (rear and side entry).
- Storage: Large side pouches, water bottle holders, and upgraded internal roof pockets featuring a clear-panel tablet holder for iPads and devices.
Integrated Power for Off-Grid Living
