The Kings Grand Tourer internal storage pocket is a six-pocket organiser that velcros onto the ceiling of a hard shell rooftop tent. We bought it with our Kings Grand Tourer Lite and have used it on every trip since. If your rooftop tent doesn’t have many pockets, it’s a must-have. I paid $50 for it.
What You’re Getting
A grey ripstop canvas panel with navy binding around the edges and Velcro strips on the back. It has six pockets: a row of pleated pockets along the top for phones, keys and torches, and three bigger ones along the bottom, the middle one with a clear PVC window that takes a tablet of up to 13 inches or a magazine. It’s sold for the Kings Grand Tourer tents, but it fits any rooftop tent with a carpeted ceiling, and it weighed 296 g on our scale.
What we like

- Velcros on, no tools needed
- Still firmly up after a year
- Frees up space on the mattress

What we don’t
- Not the most premium material

Six pockets overhead
A hard shell tent like ours has few places for small things. Without the pocket, phones, torches and the tablet end up on the mattress. With it, they go up on the ceiling, within reach when you’re lying down and out of the way when you’re sleeping.
The clear pocket at the bottom is the big one. It takes a tablet of up to 13 inches, so you can lie back and watch something on the tablet without holding it, and it’s just as handy for a small fan or a map.
Fitting it with Velcro
There’s nothing to screw or drill. Strips of Velcro run along the back of the pocket and grip the carpet lining on the ceiling of the tent: press it up and it stays. That also means you can move it if you want it closer to the head end. It needs a ceiling the Velcro can grip, so it fits any rooftop tent with a carpeted ceiling, not just the Grand Tourer.
Over a year on the ceiling
The material isn’t the most premium: a simple ripstop canvas with a bound edge. But it does the job really well. Ours has been on the ceiling of the tent for over a year, through every trip and every time the tent opens and closes, and it hasn’t come loose. At 296 g it doesn’t add anything you’d notice to the lid.

- Rooftop tents
Yes. I paid $50, and in a hard shell tent without many pockets it's the easiest way to get phones, torches and the tablet off the mattress.
