Description
The Cargo Container TUNNEL-EX is a refined hybrid camping tent that merges the spacious comfort of a tunnel tent with the self-supporting stability of a dome structure. Developed in collaboration with DAC, the tent uses a sophisticated MX aluminum pole system with three ridge poles, creating a stable frame that requires minimal pegging while maintaining excellent resistance to wind and weather. With generous interior dimensions, dual entrances, and extended eaves for added protection, the TUNNEL-EX is designed for campers who value comfort, structure, and clean, purposeful design in a wide range of conditions.
