Tentrax
“World's toughest lightweight offroad trailers, rooftop tents, and gear”
About Tentrax
Tentrax designs and builds lightweight off-road camping trailers, rooftop tents, and outdoor gear, currently based in the Black Mountain, North Carolina area. The brand was originally founded in 2001 in Eugene, Oregon, serving West Coast customers for nearly two decades before current owner Brent Nelson bought the company in 2019 and relocated it to western North Carolina to modernize the product line. Tentrax's current lineup includes the Ascend and Overlook trailers plus rooftop tents, sold direct to consumers.
How they build
Tentrax's stated vision is to let people 'explore simply' — building the lightest, toughest off-road trailers that can be towed by nearly any vehicle, favoring durability and simplicity over added complexity.
