23ZERO Walkabout 87 2.0 – Soft Shell Rooftop Tent | Biggest RTT | 6-Person | 4-Season

Go big or go home. The 23ZERO Walkabout 87 2.0 is the largest rooftop tent available — soft shell or hard shell — engineered for serious overland travel, extended family camping, and group adventures where space, comfort, and four-season reliability are non-negotiable.

Refined over six years of real-world testing across three countries, the Walkabout 87 2.0 builds on a proven foundation with structural upgrades, improved climate control, and enhanced usability that eliminate common overlanding frustrations before you ever encounter them. Bar-tack stitching reinforces critical high-stress join points throughout the tent, a heavy-duty polyester-wrapped frame with stainless steel hinge and lever-lock extension pole ensures stable structure in wind and rough conditions, and a PVC-backed center flap adds extra reinforcement where it matters most.

The sleeping area is a massive California king-plus footprint — 87 inches wide and 96 inches long — comfortably sleeping up to six adults with genuine room to spare. Dual entrances with dedicated ladders on both sides make access easy for large groups, while 23ZERO's ECO13B fully recycled fabric with Light Suppression Technology blocks 90% of sunlight and keeps the interior up to 15% cooler for deep, undisturbed sleep past sunrise. Large panoramic XL side windows deliver cross-ventilation and sweeping views, and an integrated heater/cooler port with drawstring ducting sleeve supports diesel heaters or cooling units for true four-season interior comfort.

The Walkabout 87 2.0 is the tent you buy when you're done compromising.

Care & Use

To maximize the life of your 23Zero gear and ensure your lifetime warranty remains valid, please follow these essential maintenance guidelines.

Storage and Moisture Control
• Never store your tent wet. If you must pack up while the tent is damp, you must open it and let it air dry completely as soon as possible.
• Avoid Mildew: Storing a damp tent is the fastest way to cause mildew and moisture damage, which is not covered under warranty.
• Condensation: To prevent internal humidity, always promote airflow by opening vents and windows. Store wet items like towels or boots outside the tent.

Cleaning Instructions
• General Cleaning: Use only cold water and a soft brush to clean the fabric. Do not use soaps or detergents as they can damage the waterproof coatings.
• Interior: Regularly sweep or vacuum out dust and dirt from the inside of the tent.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, use only mild, non-detergent cleaners specifically designed for technical fabrics.

Hardware & Zipper Care
• Mounting Hardware: Regularly check that all nuts and bolts attaching the tent to your vehicle are tight and in good repair.
• Zipper Maintenance: Keep zippers free of sand and grit. Use a soft brush to remove debris and apply a specialized zipper lubricant periodically to ensure smooth operation.
• Transit Covers: For soft-shell models, wipe the cover with a damp cloth and apply a silicone-free UV protectant to prevent sun damage.

Safe Operation
• Ladder Safety: Always ensure the ladder is locked at the correct angle (approx. 70° to 75°) before entering the tent. Never climb inside if the ladder is not secured.
• No Heat Sources: Keep all flame and heat sources away from the tent. Never use fuel-burning devices or naked flames inside or near the tent fabric.
• Bedding: While you can store thin blankets inside, do not over-pack bedding. Excessive pressure when closing can damage hinges and zippers, which is not covered by warranty.

Installation

Verify your vehicle's maximum roof load capacity as specified by the manufacturer. Check the load limit of your roof rack or bed rack, especially for off-road use. Understand that allowable roof load varies by vehicle, model, and rack configuration.
