Productinformation in detailArcta NUCIS – Compact, Clever, and Uncompromising
The perfect solution for short roofs – and big adventures.
Hard shell or soft shell rooftop tent? With the Arcta NUCIS, you don't have to choose. This hybrid rooftop tent blends the best of both worlds: compact dimensions for everyday driving, and spacious comfort for camping. It’s ideal for anyone traveling with a pickup truck, short-wheelbase van, or SUV—but who still wants room to stretch out and sleep well.
Set up fast. Ready in minutes.
Pull in, pop it open, and start relaxing—no hassle, no stress. The NUCIS sets up in under five minutes. Just release the latches, unfold the tent, extend the ladder, and watch your campsite take shape. It’s that easy.
Small footprint on top. Big comfort on site.
The magic of the NUCIS lies in its slim profile. It fits perfectly on short vehicle roofs—like double cab pickups—without overhang. But once deployed, it expands to offer the spacious interior of a full-size fold-out tent, thanks to the side-expanding sleeping platform.
Ready for any weather.
Come rain or shine (or snow), the NUCIS keeps you protected. The hard shell shields the inside from wind and water while driving. The tent fabric is fully weatherproof, breathable, and durable—perfect for year-round use. Large windows ensure great airflow and a comfortable sleeping climate, even during summer nights.
Sleep like you're home.
Inside, you’ll find a high-quality mattress with a removable cover—no cold ground, no rocks, no compromises. And with smart internal storage, there’s room for your gear too.
Want more space? You’ve got it.
Add the optional annex to turn your rooftop tent into a full-fledged campsite. More storage, more shelter, more freedom. Great for longer trips or family adventures.
Who is the NUCIS built for?
The Arcta NUCIS is the perfect choice for anyone who:
- Drives a vehicle with a short roof, like a pickup or compact SUV
- Wants a compact yet spacious rooftop tent
- Values fast and easy setup
- Cares about quality materials and long-term reliability
- Looks for flexibility and expandable options
