Full Aluminum. No Shortcuts.
The Uinta Box Shell is constructed with aluminum top, bottom, and sidewalls. No composites. Just structural integrity you can trust at highway speeds and deep off-grid.
This is the tent built for long-term durability, not spec-sheet weight savings.
Expansive Sleeping Space
Despite its streamlined exterior, the Uinta Box Shell opens to a true rectangular sleeping platform larger than a queen-size bed, with vertical sidewalls that maximize usable interior volume.
More headroom. More shoulder space. More livable comfort for extended trips without feeling confined.
Unmatched Stargazing Views
The Uinta’s full-width panoramic skylight transforms the ceiling into open sky. Ventilated and weather-sealed, it delivers airflow by day and uninterrupted star views at night.
From alpine sunrises to desert meteor showers, the structure opens your shelter to the landscape without sacrificing protection.
Illuminate Your Adventure
With integrated interior and exterior LED lighting, the Uinta keeps your campsite functional long after sunset. Light the interior for winding down or illuminate the ladder and perimeter for late-night setup.
Brightness is controlled manually or via remote for precise output when and where you need it.
Four-Season Shelter System
280g polycotton blackout canvas with PU5000 waterproof coating, full-perimeter sealing, diesel heater port, panoramic skylight, and integrated interior/exterior LED lighting.
Built for real temperature swings, wind, and weather while maintaining visibility, airflow, and livability in every season.
Uinta Box Shell FAQ
How much does the Uinta Box Shell weigh?
The Uinta Box Shell weighs 158 lbs, making it one of the lightest full-aluminum box-shell rooftop tents available at this interior size. Despite opening to larger than a queen-size sleeping surface, it's engineered to minimize load on your roof rack without sacrificing structural integrity.
Is the Uinta Box Shell compatible with my vehicle?
The Uinta is designed to fit a wide range of adventure vehicles including short-bed trucks, which many larger rooftop tents cannot accommodate. It mounts via standard roof rack hardware. Before ordering, we recommend confirming your rack's static and dynamic load ratings. Contact us with your vehicle and rack specs and we'll verify fit before you buy.
How fast does the Uinta Box Shell set up?
Two latches, lift, fold, done. One verified owner describes it as "unhook 2 latches and it pops right up." You can go from driving to sleeping in under two minutes.
How many people can sleep in the Uinta Box Shell?
Two adults, with room to spare. The Uinta opens to larger than a queen-size mattress, the most generous sleep floor in the Sterling lineup. Owners 6'3" and taller report sleeping comfortably head-to-toe without compromise.
Is the Uinta Box Shell suitable for four-season camping?
Yes. The Uinta is built for year-round use. True blackout ripstop canvas creates a complete light seal, ideal for early sunrises and late alarms. One owner reports sleeping until 11am with no idea it was daylight outside. Full aluminum construction handles rain, wind, snow, and heat without degrading over time.
Does the Uinta Box Shell have a skylight?
Yes. The Uinta features a large skylight that gives you a full view of the sky from inside the tent. It's one of the most consistently mentioned features in owner reviews, used for stargazing, watching weather roll in, and waking up to natural light when you want it.
What lighting does the Uinta Box Shell include?
Integrated interior and exterior LED lighting, both controllable by remote. You can manage your camp lighting from inside the tent without getting up. The exterior light is particularly useful for setting up in the dark after a late drive in.
What vehicles is the Uinta Box Shell designed for?
The Uinta was specifically engineered to fit short-bed trucks in addition to full-size SUVs and crossovers. If you've been told your truck bed is too short for a quality rooftop tent, the Uinta was designed with that problem in mind. Contact us with your truck make, model, and bed length and we'll confirm.
How does the Uinta Box Shell mount?
Via standard roof rack mounting hardware. We strongly recommend verifying your rack's load rating before purchase, both static (parked) and dynamic (highway driving). Contact us and we'll walk you through the requirements and help you confirm your setup is rated for the Uinta.
What warranty does the Uinta Box Shell come with?
A 2-year standard warranty covers the full tent.
