Updates for beloved Vickywood Big Willow 4.0 rooftop tent
The Big Willow is a popular rooftop tent that Vickywood simply couldn't drop from its range. But an update was needed. The brand listened to user feedback, tweaked the previous design, and voilà: the Vickywood Big Willow 4.0 was born.
The Vickywood Big Willow 4.0 is a rooftop tent for two to three people—ideal for couples or families with a young child. The core concept of the Big Willow remains intact in this latest version: generous living space, a covered entrance, and a panoramic roof.
Setup is now even easier
Compared to version 3.0, several improvements have been made. Pitching and taking down the tent is now easier thanks to gas struts at the covered entrance. In addition, rainwater drainage has been improved, preventing water from pooling on the tent. The new rainfly provides extra protection. The tent fabric is made of 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester and has a water column of 5000 mm.
More light and storage options
Out in nature, pitching camp on a car roof often offers spectacular views. To make the most of them, the Vickywood Big Willow 4.0 features larger windows than before, both on the sides and in the roof. This also lets in a huge amount of natural light. If you prefer it darker inside, you can black out everything.
Organised camping
Even more storage solutions have been added to the interior to keep things as organised as possible—a real plus when camping in a compact space. The rooftop tent is therefore equipped with two large shoe bags, a cargo net, accessory loops, and various storage pockets.
Choice of sleeping area
The sleeping surface in the Vickywood Big Willow 4.0 rooftop tent is 160/180 cm (your choice) x 240 centimetres. The bed features a memory foam mattress with a polyester cover. The mesh underlay ensures no condensation forms inside the tent.
Extra options
The rooftop tent can be expanded with an awning that offers extra space, for instance for a camping table or a kitchen unit.
The Big Willow 4.0 is available from 2,290 euros.
