Tent Selection & Size

What are the differences between the Solo Expedition Tent and the Atacama Expedition Tent, and how do I choose the best motorcycle camping tent for me?
The Solo Expedition Tent is designed for one camper, while the Atacama Expedition Tent can comfortably sleep 1–3 campers. Both tents have spacious garages for your motorcycle or gear. The Atacama is slightly heavier (14.5 lbs vs. Solo’s 12 lbs) and larger (16 ft vs. 12 ft footprint). If you plan to camp solo or with a passenger, the Atacama offers flexibility and extra space, making it a great alternative to the sold-out Solo.

What is the sleeping capacity of each tent?
The Solo Tent is officially for one camper, providing full protection in the sleeping bay. The Atacama accommodates 1–3 campers in the sleeping bay and garage, with the garage providing additional space for occasional sleepers or gear.

Can two people sleep in the Solo Expedition Tent?
The Solo’s sleeping bay is designed for one camper, but two people can use the garage area if needed. The garage isn’t double-walled or fully sealed like the sleeping bay, so it’s best used for occasional sleepers or gear.

Tent Weight, Setup & Compatibility

What is the pack weight of each tent, including pegs and poles?
The Solo Tent: Minimum weight 11 lbs 6 oz, packed weight 12 lbs.
The Atacama Tent: Minimum weight 14 lbs, packed weight 14 lbs 6 oz. Both tents are lightweight and compact, ideal for motorcycle transport.

How long does it take to set up each tent?
Both tents are incredibly quick to set up. Minimum setup: stake two pegs at each end and insert the poles. With practice, the tent can be fully set up from the bag in about 5 minutes, including the sleeping bay and garage, raised in one smooth action.

Are the Solo and Atacama Expedition Tents compatible with all motorcycles?
Yes. Both tents accommodate most motorcycles, including adventure bikes, sport-tourers, and cruisers. The Atacama offers extra garage space for very large bikes or bikes with wide panniers.

Accessories & Add-ons

Do you offer additional tent accessories like awnings or dry bags?
Yes! Redverz offers a selection of accessories to enhance your tents:
- Awning Kit – adds extra sheltered space.
- Dry Bags – keep gear safe and dry.
Both are designed specifically for Redverz tents, ensuring a perfect fit and easy setup.

Fabric & Waterproofing

What are the Solo and Atacama Expedition Tents made of, and are they waterproof?
Both tents are made from durable, high-quality fabrics. The flysheet has a 4000mm hydrostatic head and the floor has a 10,000mm waterproof rating, keeping you dry even in heavy rain. Materials are lightweight, strong, UV- and tear-resistant.

Do these tents get condensation inside?

Built-in ventilation panels allow airflow while keeping rain out. The breathable inner tent and well-sealed flysheet help vent moisture efficiently, reducing condensation.

Can the Solo and Atacama Expedition Tents handle extreme weather conditions?
Yes. Both tents withstand heavy rain, strong winds, and varying temperatures. For extreme conditions like high-altitude snow or prolonged storms, ensure proper setup and pitch on stable ground for maximum safety.

Do I need to apply waterproofing sprays to my Redverz tent?
No. The tents are engineered for excellent waterproofing out of the bag. Applying aftermarket sprays can damage the fabric and reduce effectiveness. Learn more in our Tent Waterproof Ratings, Materials & Why You Shouldn't Spray

Maintenance & Care

How do I clean and care for my tent?
Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals, and allow the tent to dry completely before packing. Store in a cool, dry place. See the full Tent Care Guide for details.

Can I repair my tent if it gets damaged?
Yes. Minor damage can be repaired with patch kits or seam sealers. For extensive damage, contact Redverz directly for assessment, repair guidance, or replacement parts.

Can I use a heater or stove inside the tent?
No. While the tents have fire-retardant protection, constant direct heat can melt or damage the fabric. Always cook or use heaters outside the tent.
