POWER HUB ADD-ON
Tent Tilt Plate for the Fan-Cooled Rooftop Power Hub
$199.99 · 24mm flat for driving
Tent up, Power Hub level.
A hinged, gas strut base plate that sits between your Rooftop Power Hub and the lid of a clamshell or wedge rooftop tent. Driving, it lies flat as a 24mm tray with the struts hidden inside. At camp, undo two security bolts and two stainless gas struts lift the Hub until it sits level on the open lid, aimed straight at the sky.
Finish
Tent lid angle
Clamshell and wedge tent lids open at different angles, from about 25 to 50 degrees. Choose your tent's lid angle and we set the plate to it, so the Power Hub comes up level every time the tent goes up.

Key features
Level on any lid.
- Two 316 stainless gas struts raise the Hub on their own once the stow bolts are out, and hold it at the set angle. Push it down by hand to pack up.
- Pick your tent's lid angle at checkout. We drill the strut mounts to suit, so the Hub sits level when the tent is open.
- Closed, the plate is a 24mm tray under the Hub with the struts tucked inside it, held shut by two stainless security bolts into rivet nuts.
- Closed, the tent bolts and the Hub bolts are hidden under the plate, and the Hub's nuts sit inside its locked lid. Every outside fastener is a pin-Torx security head.
- The pivots sit outside the Hub lid's swing, so you can open the Hub to fit or remove your Starlink Mini with the plate up or down.
- The plate carries every hole in the Hub's floor, so its vents and centre cable entry stay open, and the cable leaves at the hinge end where it barely moves.
How it fits
Bolt it up once. At camp, it rises.
Step 1
On the bench, bolt the Power Hub to the plate with the four bolts supplied, with the nuts inside the Hub.
Step 2
Check the plate is set to your tent's lid angle (it ships set to the angle you ordered).
Step 3
Bolt the base to your tent's load bars, with the hinge at the end of the lid that lifts.
Step 4
Close the plate and fit the two stow bolts. At camp, undo them and the Hub rises level.
