About the factory
A factory partner for overland brands
We design, build and export rooftop tents and the gear that goes with them — for companies that sell under their own name.
Company profile
Built for companies that sell under their own name
Rooftop Tent Factory is the export brand of Shanghai Mars Industrial Co., Ltd., a Shanghai-based supplier of overland camping equipment.
Our catalog spans 177 models in 11 product lines — from aluminum wedge rooftop tents to 270° awnings, flat roof platforms, road showers and rotomolded cases. Most of our customers are importers, distributors, rental fleets and outdoor brands who want a complete, consistent overland range from one partner, built to their specification and delivered in one shipment.
