Which Awning Fits Your Roof Tent?
Want more sheltered space next to your roof tent? There are several solutions – annexes, tarps, the Universal Connector, pop-up tents and cassette awnings. Here we explain the differences, show exactly which accessories fit each Wild Land model, and tell you what we recommend.
Pääkohdat
- ✓Annexes give the most weather protection but are model-specific – always check which variant fits your tent
- ✓The Universal Tarp and Universal Connector are flexible shade roofs that fit most models
- ✓Pop-up tents (Hub 400/400XL) are our first choice for every model – up in under 2 minutes, freestanding, and fit every roof tent
- ✓On some models the Universal Connector covers the roof tent's entrance and links the tent to a pop-up tent (Voyager Pro 230, Voyager Pro 160, Lite Cruiser 120 XL and Bush Cruiser V2 120)
- ✓Cassette awnings stay mounted but don't fit every roof rack – contact us if unsure
The different types of accessories
Before you choose, it helps to understand the difference between the solutions. Here's a quick overview.
Annex
An annex like the Nomad or Annex XL attaches directly under the roof tent and creates a closed, weatherproof room for changing, storage or extra sleeping space. Most protection, but model-specific.
Tarp & shade roof
The Universal Tarp is a flexible shade roof that protects over a table and chairs. Lighter and more versatile than an annex, and fits almost all of our roof tents.
Universal Connector
A larger solution (up to 16 m²) with three modes. It can be used freestanding or against the car – and on models that support it, it covers the roof tent's entrance and links the tent to a pop-up tent. Supported by the Voyager Pro 230, Voyager Pro 160, Lite Cruiser 120 XL and Bush Cruiser V2 120.
Pop-up tent (Hub)
The Hub 400 and Hub 400XL pop up in under 2 minutes, are freestanding and can stand in the garden. The most convenient option – but it doesn't sit as close to the tent's entrance.
Cassette awning
Oasis and Rollout stay mounted on the roof rack and roll out in under a minute. Trickier to mount and not compatible with every roof rack.
Our first choice: pop-up tents
Before you settle on an annex or a tarp – in most cases we actually recommend our pop-up tents, the Hub 400 and Hub 400XL. They go up in under 2 minutes, are freestanding, and work just as well in the garden at home as next to the car.
Advantages
- Pops up and packs down in under 2 minutes
- Freestanding – use it by the car or at home in the garden
- Spacious and airy with mosquito netting, can be fitted with walls
- Works with every roof tent model
Worth noting
Doesn't sit as close to the tent's entrance as an annex or tarp. For some models you can solve this with the Universal Connector, which links the roof tent to the Hub tent.

Hub tent accessories
You can make the Hub tent cosier and more weatherproof with a few smart accessories:
Side wall – Protects against wind, sun and prying eyes – creates a more private space inside the tent.
Cloud Wall – A clear plastic window that protects against the weather while keeping light and the view.
Rain Cover – Mounts on top of the tent for extra rain protection. Fits Hub models with LED lighting.
Tent floor – Creates a sheltered, comfortable surface and keeps gear off the ground.

Recommendations per roof tent model
Find your model below to see which accessories fit – and which one we recommend.
Voyager Pro 230
The Voyager Pro 230 is our largest hardshell tent with room for up to 5 people. Three accessories fit: the Nomad – an annex purpose-built for the Voyager Pro series that creates a fully enclosed room under the tent – plus the Universal Tarp and Universal Connector shade roofs.
Our recommendation for Voyager Pro 230
For the Voyager Pro 230 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – it's freestanding, goes up in under two minutes and works both by the car and at home. On the Voyager Pro 230 you can also use the Universal Connector to cover the entrance and create a sheltered passage between the roof tent and the pop-up tent. If you'd rather have a fully enclosed room directly under the tent, the Nomad is the annex built for the Voyager Pro series.
Voyager Pro 160
The Voyager Pro 160 is one of our best-sellers – a hardshell tent for 3 people. Just like on the 230, the Nomad annex creates an enclosed extra room, and both the Universal Tarp and Universal Connector work as shade roofs.
Our recommendation for Voyager Pro 160
For the Voyager Pro 160 our first choice is a pop-up tent (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding, fast and flexible. Because the Voyager Pro 160 supports the Universal Connector, you can also cover the entrance and link the roof tent to the pop-up tent for a sheltered passage. If you want a fully enclosed room under the tent, the Nomad is the annex made for the Voyager Pro series.
Voyager Pro 130
The Voyager Pro 130 is the compact two-person model in the Voyager Pro series. It works with the Nomad annex, which creates a sheltered room under the tent, and the Universal Tarp as a shade roof over a table and chairs by the entrance.
Our recommendation for Voyager Pro 130
For the Voyager Pro 130 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and up in under two minutes. If you'd rather have an enclosed room directly under the tent, the Nomad annex fits, and if you just want shade and rain cover over the seating area, the Universal Tarp is a convenient shade roof.
Lite Cruiser 120 XL
The Lite Cruiser 120 XL is a light, compact softshell tent at just 36 kg. It works with the Universal Connector – a large, flexible shade roof that adds plenty of weather-protected space next to this nimble tent.
Our recommendation for Lite Cruiser 120 XL
For the Lite Cruiser 120 XL we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL), which matches the tent's light, nimble character. The Lite Cruiser 120 XL supports the Universal Connector, so you can cover the entrance and link the roof tent to the pop-up tent into one continuous, weather-protected space.
Wild Cruiser 160
The Wild Cruiser 160 is a spacious, lightweight softshell tent. It works with the Annex XL in Model A, which creates an enclosed 305 × 365 cm camping room for changing, storage or extra sleeping space. Note that the Universal Tarp does not fit the Wild Cruiser 160.
Our recommendation for Wild Cruiser 160
For the Wild Cruiser 160 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and convenient, and an especially good fit here since the Universal Tarp doesn't fit this model. If you want a fully enclosed room by the tent, the Annex XL (Model A) is the annex that fits the Wild Cruiser 160.
Wild Cruiser 250
The Wild Cruiser 250 is a large family tent for up to 5 people. It pairs with the Annex XL in Model B for an enclosed extra room, and the Universal Tarp as a shade roof over the social area outside the tent.
Our recommendation for Wild Cruiser 250
For the Wild Cruiser 250 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – especially handy with a full crew, since it's freestanding and fast. If you want a fully enclosed extra room, the Annex XL (Model B) is a good choice for family camping, and the Universal Tarp works as a simpler shade roof over the table and chairs.
Desert Cruiser 140
The Desert Cruiser 140 is a low, aerodynamic hardshell tent for 2–3 people. It works with the Annex XL in Model A for a fully enclosed room under the tent, and the Universal Tarp as a flexible shade roof by the entrance.
Our recommendation for Desert Cruiser 140
For the Desert Cruiser 140 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and up in under two minutes. If you want a fully enclosed room under the tent, the Annex XL (Model A) fits, and if you just want a light shade roof by the entrance, the Universal Tarp is a good option.
Desert Cruiser 120
The Desert Cruiser 120 is the slim 1–2 person version of our popular low-profile hardshell tent. Just like the 140, it works with the Annex XL (Model A) for an extra camping room and the Universal Tarp as a shade roof.
Our recommendation for Desert Cruiser 120
For the Desert Cruiser 120 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – convenient and freestanding for travelling light. If you want an enclosed extra room, the Annex XL (Model A) fits, and the Universal Tarp is a simple shade roof if you just want shade and rain cover by the entrance.
Rock Cruiser Pro
The Rock Cruiser Pro is a fast hardshell tent with generous interior height and a roughly 30-second setup. It works with the Annex XL in Model B for an enclosed room, and the Universal Tarp as a shade roof by the entrance.
Our recommendation for Rock Cruiser Pro
For the Rock Cruiser Pro we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and fast, which suits the tent's quick character. If you want a fully enclosed camping room by the tent, the Annex XL (Model B) is the choice, and the Universal Tarp works as a simple shade roof by the entrance.
SE-180
The SE-180 is our hardshell tent for 3–4 people with a diesel heater opening. It has its own annex solution – the Annex for the SE-180 – which creates a spacious 300 × 300 cm camping room connected directly to the tent.
Our recommendation for SE-180
For the SE-180 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and flexible. If you want a spacious, enclosed camping room right by the tent, the Annex for the SE-180 is the solution made for this model (choose the Summit Explorer 180 variant when ordering). Other annexes and tarps do not fit the SE-180.
Bush Cruiser V2 140
The Bush Cruiser V2 140 is a low hardshell tent with a rear entrance – perfect if you use the tailgate as part of your camp. It works with the Universal Tarp, which creates sheltered space behind the car where the entrance is.
Our recommendation for Bush Cruiser V2 140
For the Bush Cruiser V2 140 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL) – freestanding and convenient. Since the tent has a rear entrance, the Universal Tarp works well as a shade roof behind the car where the entry is, if you want weather protection closer to the tent.
Bush Cruiser V2 120
The Bush Cruiser V2 120 is the slimmer rear-entry model for 1–2 people. Both the Universal Tarp and the larger Universal Connector fit as shade roofs behind the car.
Our recommendation for Bush Cruiser V2 120
For the Bush Cruiser V2 120 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL). The Bush Cruiser V2 120 supports the Universal Connector, so you can cover the rear entrance and link the roof tent to the pop-up tent into one sheltered space. If you want something simpler, the Universal Tarp is a convenient shade roof over the seating area.
Normandy Auto 120
The Normandy Auto 120 is a light softshell tent at around 36 kg that sits directly on top of the car. It works with the Universal Tarp as a convenient shade roof, and the Annex XL in Model B if you want a fully enclosed extra room by the tent.
Our recommendation for Normandy Auto 120
For the Normandy Auto 120 we recommend a pop-up tent first (the Hub 400 or Hub 400XL), which matches the tent's light, simple character. If you want a fully enclosed extra room, the Annex XL (Model B) fits, and the Universal Tarp is a convenient shade roof if you just want shade over the table and chairs.
Cassette awnings
Cassette awnings are a really convenient solution that stays mounted on the roof rack and rolls out in under a minute. They work regardless of which roof tent you have.
Oasis 180 – A 180° cassette awning that rolls out in one motion and can be used without support legs.
Oasis 270 – A 270° awning that creates a large sheltered area around the side and rear of the car.
Rollout Pro – A compact side awning that stays mounted and rolls out in under a minute. Can be extended with side walls.
Cassette awnings are trickier to mount and don't fit every roof rack. Contact us before ordering and we'll help you check that it fits your car.
