Rooftop tent. Simple. Different.
With the WEEKEND, we have created a rooftop tent that is truly versatile. You can use it both on your car roof and on the ground. The tent base is inflated just like a stand-up paddle board (SUP). A high-quality aluminum frame and lightweight functional fabric form the sleeping cabin.
The WEEKEND is attached to the roof rails using a loop system. With a net weight starting at just 12.5 kg, it fits any vehicle type. Since it is stored compactly in the trunk during driving, concerns about roof load are eliminated.
You don’t need an extra person or physical strength for setup or installation. A tent that does everything differently.
Solution for urban living & everyday life
If you live in the city, space is limited. The WEEKEND fits into a storage closet and solves the problem of storage space.
Resource-efficient travel
Since the tent travels in the trunk, there is no additional air resistance. No installation stress, no second person needed.
Maximum value
Whether as a full-fledged rooftop tent or a practical sleeping space extension – the WEEKEND adapts to your plans, not the other way around.
The name
Why “Weekend”?
The name WEEKEND stands for the new flexibility and freedom that urban weekend adventurers have been longing for. We have reimagined the rooftop tent concept and adapted it to the reality of city life. No more searching for storage space, lifting heavy loads, or worrying about roof load.

Ultra-light rooftop tent vs. hardtop rooftop tent – which is right for you?
Groenberg offers two fundamentally different rooftop tent concepts. The right choice depends on your vehicle, usage, and priorities.
WEEKEND – right if …
… your vehicle has low roof load capacity, you live in the city, lack storage space, or don’t want a permanent roof setup.
Go to WEEKEND →Hardtop – right if …
… your vehicle supports at least 77 kg dynamic roof load, you camp frequently, and want maximum comfort with the fastest setup.
Explore hardtop rooftop tents →What is an ultra-light rooftop tent?
An ultra-light rooftop tent is specifically designed for vehicles with low dynamic roof load capacity – including small cars, EVs, hybrid vehicles, and wagons.
The key difference: it is not permanently mounted on the roof. It travels in your trunk and is only set up at your destination.

Frequently asked questions about the WEEKEND
Everything you should know before making your decision. You can find more answers in the Groenberg FAQ.
Which vehicles is the WEEKEND suitable for?
At just 12.5 kg, the WEEKEND is suitable for almost all vehicles with roof racks – including small cars and EVs with only 50 kg roof load. Since the tent is transported in the trunk while driving, roof load is not a concern for the journey itself. Please check the specific roof load limits of your vehicle and roof rack manufacturer for installation.
How does the setup work?
The drop-stitch platform is inflated using the included pump – like a SUP board. The tent is then set up on top using an aluminum frame. After that, the entire tent is placed on the roof rack and secured with the loop system. One person, a few minutes.
Can I use the WEEKEND without a car?
Yes. With the optional WEEKEND Stage (aluminum platform, approx. 50 cm height, under 9 kg), the tent can be set up without a vehicle – perfect for festivals and 60+ camping. The drop-stitch platform can also be used separately as an airtrack, guest bed, or play mat.
What is the difference between Classic and Comfort?
Both include ladder, pump, and carry bag and are based on the same drop-stitch platform. The Comfort additionally offers a SkyView roof, blackout coating, rain-protected entrances, and interior roof pockets. Ideal for families, comfort campers, and anyone who wants to sleep well even in daylight.
What is the pack size and where can I store it?
75 × 48 × 40 cm – barely larger than a travel bag. The WEEKEND fits in closets, storage rooms, or your trunk. No garage or ceiling lift needed.
Do I need a sleeping mat?
Not necessarily, but recommended. The drop-stitch platform already provides a stable and even surface. For optimal comfort, we recommend the Vasta 5 by Wechsel.
Is the WEEKEND waterproof?
Yes. High-quality ripstop fabric (5,000 mm water column) protects reliably against rain. The Comfort version also features rain-protected entrances. Thanks to the elevated position, you sleep well above ground moisture.
Do I need an electric pump?
No. A manual pump is included. An electric pump or compressor can optionally be used to speed up setup even further.
