The C6 Outdoor REV Tent Element Gen 2: Ground, Truck Bed, or Rooftop, One Tent Does It All
Most camping tents force you to pick a use case. Ground tents cannot pitch on a roof rack. Rooftop tents cannot pitch on the ground. Truck bed tents cannot ride on your rack. The C6 Outdoor REV Tent Element Gen 2 throws that whole compromise out. This is a 4-season, 2-person tent with a built-in 4 inch foam mattress that pitches quickly on the ground, in a pick-up bed, or on a vehicle roof top with accessories. All at just 25 lbs. This is the REV Tent Gen 2 overlanders, campers, and truck bed sleepers pick when they want one shelter that does everything the others cannot.
Choose Your Color: Desert, Forest, or Surf
The C6 REV Tent Element Gen 2 comes in three color options based on where you spend most of your time outside. All three deliver identical construction, fabrics, mattress, moonroof, warranty, and feature set. The only difference is the fly sheet color accent.
- Desert: warm tan/khaki tones. Blends into arid landscapes, canyons, high desert, and open terrain.
- Forest: rich green tones. Blends into wooded terrain, pine forests, mountain camps, and shaded environments.
- Surf: cool blue/gray tones. Blends into coastal terrain, beach camps, lakeside setups, and open sky environments.
Built-in 4-Inch Foam Mattress: Camp Sleep That Actually Works
The headline feature on the REV Tent Element Gen 2 is the built-in real foam mattress. 4 inches (11 cm) of HDPE 16D and 30D open-cell foam sits inside the tent floor, permanently integrated so setup does not require inflating pads, unrolling sleeping mats, or fighting cots. Unfold the tent, and your bed is ready to go.
The mattress is topped with a peach-skin brushed polyester cover that feels genuinely soft against skin. Combined with the tent's 38 inch peak interior height, you get real camping sleep quality out of a portable overland shelter. That is a category shift, not a feature bullet.
Gen 2 Upgrades: Giant Main Entrance, Moonroof, and Removable Fly Sheet
The 2nd generation REV Tent brings meaningful upgrades over the original design. The giant new main entrance at the foot of the tent adds significant head room and makes getting in and out effortless. Two additional tall side doors mean no more climbing over your sleep partner in the middle of the night. Three total access points on a 2-person tent is unusual and genuinely useful.
The new moonroof is the second big Gen 2 addition. Remove the fly sheet and the mesh moonroof opens up the ceiling for stargazing. When weather turns, snap the fly sheet back on for full protection.
3-Minute Ground and Truck Bed Setup
Setup on the ground or in a pick-up bed is 3 minutes. Four steps: unzip and flip open, assemble 4 pole sets, pound in stakes and guylines (or set the tent in your truck bed), add the fly sheet if needed. The tent essentially self-locates because the built-in case unfolds into its pitched position. Rooftop setup takes 5 to 10 minutes because you are adding the platform or rack mount kit.
Camp Everywhere: Ground, Pick-Up Bed, or Roof Top
The whole point of the REV Tent Gen 2 is that it goes where you go. Camp on the ground at a state park. Move to the truck bed for a weekend of dispersed camping. Add mount hardware and put it on your roof rack for expedition trips. Same tent, three use cases, and it fits in the back of an SUV, pick-up bed, or Tesla with the rear seats down for transport.
For roof rack sleeping, pair the tent with the Rev Platform X (for load bars or smaller racks) or dedicated Front Runner, Yakima, or Rhino Rack Transport and Sleep Mount Kits. Reach out to us at offroadtents.com if you want help speccing the right mount kit for your specific rack.
Expedition-Grade Fabrics: PFAS-Free and Weather-Tested
The REV Tent Element Gen 2 uses advanced performance PFAS-free fabrics throughout. Weather resistance comes from a 300D PU-coated 1500mm W/R polyester fly sheet and heavy-duty seam taping refined over a decade of development.
The outer transport case is 840D high-density TPU-coated PU 6000mm nylon Oxford, the inner tent is 68D 210T ripstop breathable polyester, and the doors are 300D PU-coated polyester with 45g nylon no-see-um mesh. Lab-tested for intense rains and gale-force winds. Note the fabric does not contain fire retardant chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which color should I pick: Desert, Forest, or Surf?
Pick the color that best matches your typical camping terrain. Desert works for arid landscapes and canyons. Forest works for wooded and mountain terrain. Surf works for coastal, lakeside, and open-sky camps. All three deliver identical construction, materials, and features. The color affects the fly sheet accent, not the tent's performance.
How long does it take to set up the C6 REV Tent Gen 2?
Ground and pick-up bed setup takes about 3 minutes: unzip and flip open, assemble the 4 pole sets, stake it down or place in the truck bed, add the fly sheet if needed. Rooftop setup takes 5-10 minutes because you are also positioning the mount platform.
Can I really use one REV Tent for ground, truck bed, and rooftop camping?
Yes. The REV Tent is designed as a multi-use shelter. On the ground and in a truck bed, it works out of the box. For rooftop use, you add appropriate mount hardware based on your vehicle and rack: Rev Straps and Rev Door Hooks for a bare roof, Rev Platform X for load bars or small racks, or dedicated Transport and Sleep Mount Kits for Front Runner, Yakima, or Rhino racks.
How does the built-in mattress compare to sleeping pads or cots?
The REV Tent's 4-inch (11 cm) HDPE open-cell foam mattress with peach-skin brushed cover delivers genuine camping sleep quality that inflating pads and cots cannot match. It is permanently integrated into the tent floor so setup requires zero extra steps, and it does not deflate or slide around during the night.
Is the REV Tent Gen 2 waterproof and 4-season rated?
Yes. The rain fly is 300D PU-coated 1500mm W/R polyester with fully taped seams and PFAS-free waterproofing. The tent has been lab-tested for intense rains and gale-force winds. It is rated as a 4-season tent, which means it holds up in shoulder-season snow and cold as well as summer rain and heat.
