Redverz Atacama Expedition Motorcycle Tent — Ivory
The Atacama is a motorcycle expedition tent built for riders who go places.Not a weekend warrior tent. Not a glamping setup. A purpose-built shelter designed around a full-size adventure tourer — panniers, luggage and all — that sets up solo in under five minutes and holds its shape when everything else is moving.It's currently running in the Simpson Desert in Australia, through sub-Saharan Africa, across South America, and on routes through Europe and North America. Riders use it because it works. Because it's still working 14, 15, 16 years later. Because when the weather turns, it doesn't.The Ivory colorway reflects heat rather than absorbing it — a practical advantage in desert and high-summer conditions.This is the tent you buy once.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Paid for itself in a few nights. Bone dry in hard rain.”— Rob, 4-week US motorcycle tour
The Garage
Two opposing J-doors open wide enough to ride a full-size adventure tourer straight in. Panniers on. No unloading in the rain. No gear left outside.
Standing headroom throughout. Use it as your living room, your workshop, your drying room. When the weather closes in, this is where you eat, plan, and wait it out.
It's not a vestibule. It's a room.
Sleeping Bay
Rectangular floor plan. Vertical walls. Enough space to sleep three, use cots for two, or spread out solo with room for gear.
Separate entry and exit doors mean two riders never have to climb over each other. Flow-through ventilation runs air from one end to the other — essential in heat.
Configurations
— 1 Up — full space to yourself. Gear stays inside. No compromises.
— 2 Up — queen-size footprint. Separate doors. Each rider has their own exit.
— 3 Up — tight but workable. Move gear to the garage bay.
Built for Real Weather
4000mm hydrostatic head on the fly. 10,000mm on the floor.
To put that in context: most camping tents rate between 1500–3000mm. The Atacama's floor rating is more than three times that — because when water pools around a tent in a storm, the floor is where it gets in.
Factory-sealed seams throughout. Bathtub floor construction. This isn't expedition-grade waterproofing as a marketing claim — it's what you need when the weather doesn't care about your schedule.
The Frame
Aircraft-grade aluminium poles, pre-bent to shape. The hoop design creates vertical inner walls — that's what gives you the headroom and the structural integrity in high winds.
Flexible enough to absorb gusts. Rigid enough to hold shape through the night. The frame is why this tent is still standing after 15 years of hard use in the hands of people who ask a lot of their gear.
What Riders Say
“I received the Atacama Expedition tent in July. I then took a 4-week motorcycle tour of 21 states. I spent an entire week in the Great Smoky Mountains each night in this tent. The fit and finish are astounding. It paid for itself in just a few nights as I didn't have to stay in motels. I have used this tent during a hard rain and no leaks, no drips, no errors.”
— Rob
“They laugh about the bike in the garage tent but then when it's raining, snowing or blowing out it's suddenly the most popular tent in the campground. I've had this particular tent for nearly a year now and I love how roomy it is, how I can stand up to change my clothes, the ventilation that prevents moisture buildup and how much space there is for storage.”
— Eric Hall
“Purchased this to encourage my wife to join me on longer moto trips. Not only did that work out wonderfully, but I'm using it on a regular basis when camping solo. Feels high quality, all the zippers are super smooth, and I stayed 3 nights in wind and rain without a drop penetrating the outer shell.”
— Joel
“I would venture to say there is not a better design for two adults that is comfortable. The level of detail in the design of the tent is clearly obvious. On top of it, the company takes pride in their product.”
— Aditya

Atacama Review
I was surprised when I was able to set up the tent in only 13 minutes, on my first attempt. This included figuring out which side was up, and which end was which. After paying attention to the way that I rolled and repacked the tent, I believe I can get the setup time to around 6 minutes. Also, I couldn't believe the size of the sleeping area. Huge, compared to my other tents. Great quality. A lot of thought went into this tent design.

Motel 6 in a Bag!
I received the Atacama Expedition tent in July. I then took a 4-week motorcycle tour of 21 states. I spent and entire week in the Great Smoky Mountains each night in this tent. The fit and finish are astounding. It paid for itself in just a few nights as I didn't have to stay in motels. I have inside this tent during a hard rain and no leaks, no drips, no errors. I will use this tent anytime I camp. The service I received from Kevin and Christine as very professional. These are good people who sell a great tent.

Never leave reviews
I never leave reviews, but this tent made our trip. My boyfriend decided we should switch out our tent for this one for our South America trip. Customer service from Christine was amazing and arrived at our hotel in time. used it for 2 weeks so far in between hotel stays. Sooo much space, best feature own doors from the sleeping room. And I can stand up in the tent. We don't bring either of the bikes in as we bring everything into the tent at night. 5 stars for us

Expedition Tent
Not the lightest tent around, but definately the best for moto riders or just someone wanting a well engineered tent. It's a breeze to put up ( no pun intended, if you've seen the videos this will make sense. Every tine we use it, someone wants to know where to buy one. The last time, I put it up in the dark in less than 5 minutes. Do yourself a favor and next time you're in the market,buy this tent. I don't know how often if ever I'd park a bike in the garage, there are two of us each with our own. Maybe if it was bad weather and we had some maintainence to do, but what it really gives you is SPACE. Something you normally don't have in a moto tent. You can stand up to get dressed and aren't tripping over stuff while doing it. My wife thinks it's the best $500 we've spent on camping gear.

Redverz Atacama Expedition MC Tent
I took a MC camping trip through New Brunswick, CA and Cape Bretton, NS, CA to ride the Cabot Trail. The tent was easy to carry on my bike, cruiser, and provided a lot of room for me and my equipment. I did encounter rain, lots of rain on the trip, the tent did offer excellent shelter, inside never got wet. I have not tried to park the bike in the "garage" but what I enjoy is having that extra room to act as a canopy over me for protection from bad weather. I can sit in it, stand in it, use my little Jet Boil stove and lots of room to store equipment w/out having to share my sleeping area for such. I do recommend that people who purchase the tent, practice setting up and taking down a few times before actual use. The videos on this site are very helpful and remember, practice makes perfect. I look forward to other camping excursions with the Redverz Atacama Expedition MC Tent. I give this tent 5 stars.

Awesome motocamping tent!!!
This tent is amazing! Super easy solo setup, and fits my klr with hardcases, all my gear, as well as enough room for two full cots. Have recommended it to everyone I know. Thanks guys for making such an awesome product!

Redverz Atacama Expedition
They laugh about the bike in the garage tent but then when it's raining, snowing or blowing out it's suddenly the most popular tent in the campground! I've had this particular tent for nearly a year now and I love how roomy it is, how I can stand up to change my clothes, the ventilation that prevents moisture buildup and how much space in the bay there is for storage, cooking or just visiting. I've only put the bike inside once and that was to hide it from a park ranger who was hassling us about the number of bikes/tent site! My advice is get the footprints for both the sleeping and garage area; they fit great and and a nice touch.

Hot days and very cool, high-wind nights
Your YouTube videos were a driving force for me buying that tent, and everything you said was true. That trip, had hot days and very cool, high-wind nights, wind and clay from the dry bed, sand-blasting and pulling at all my tie-lines... (I did buy four, a bit longer, [twisted] stakes (REI i think), because i knew i'd be in ...just clay, not firm dirt) and tho the wind howled and threatened, the tent held firm, myself and I all my gear were protected inside. It is truly amazing, and tho you hear folks talk about how light they like to travel, I am one of those people (like you i image) that are willing to trade a bit of room, for the comfort (LUXURY! ;-) i have with your tent. So thank you for all your hard work.

Exceeded Expectations
I went camping this past weekend (Labor Day weekend) and I was anxious to see my Atacama tent in action. Setting up the tent was a breeze, it literally took me 15 minutes (considering that I have never setup the tent, I think that is pretty good). Once the tent was setup, I could not stop to thinking about the details that the tent has… everything was well thought off. Over the course of the camping, it rained several times on me, and the inside of the tent was dry like the Sahara. In simple words, it is the best tent that I have ever owned. My only complained is that I was missing 3 stakes.
