"ShippShape Car Top Tents are the ideal accommodation for people on the move" - a simple statement that has proved true since the original was designed and manufactured by Doctor Erik Shipp in 1985. 

ShippShape tents have stood the test of time like no others. Thousands have been sold in Australia and overseas. 

The all Australian design provides a full-size double bed with a thick, comfortable mattress mounted above your vehicle or trailer; away from the creepy crawlies and crocs.

The walls on the bed area automatically open vertically, (Australian Registered Design) providing maximum use of available area.   

Fly screened windows provide great ventilation and awnings prevent rain entering the tent while still allowing maximum breeze when needed. 

The side awning area provides instant protection from the weather and undercover access to the side of your vehicle. 

There is no need for a fly as all ShippShape tents are manufactured from quality, long lasting, Australian canvas, creating a breathable, waterproof structure.

The tent is extremely easy and fast to set up and pack away. There are no fiddly tent-flys, bows, complicated or time consuming frames to erect. 

The bed frame is welded alloy and waterproof plywood. The canvas is from Wax Converter Textiles (WCT) which is the preferred canvas as used by the majority of camper trailer manufacturers in Australia.

This construction will give you many years of trouble free adventures and should you ever want to part with your ShippShape tent, you are assured of outstanding resale value; proof of which can be seen from our second hand tent sales.

ShippShape Tents are suited a wide range of vehicles including 4WDs, utes, station wagons and trailers. Anywhere you can take your vehicle you can take your ShippShape with you.
