2.8/5
The middle size of CVT’s aluminum clamshell, for couples who want more width than the Small. Its weight limits it to stout racks and trucks.

Pros
- Clamshell opens in 2 to 4 minutes, good for one night stops
- 53.5 in of headroom at the hinge end, plenty to sit up and change
- Blackout canvas keeps it dark for sleeping in after sunrise
- Gear can stay stowed inside when it is closed, so packing up is faster
Cons
- Very heavy at a listed 254.7 lb, so check the roof and rack dynamic load rating and follow the maker’s mounting instructions
- No published waterproof rating or mattress thickness
- Only a 2 year warranty
