Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 vs Roof Lodge Maikhan (140)
The Gasell Adventure GA150 2.0 and the Roof Lodge Maikhan (140) are both hybrid tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Gasell Adventure and Roof Lodge take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
The Maikhan (140) is 30 kg lighter at 55 kg against 85 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the GA150 2.0 gives 2.8 m² of sleeping floor against 2.54 m², about 10 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The Maikhan (140) lists $221 lower, at $3,175 against $3,396.
They open differently: the GA150 2.0 is a clamshell and the Maikhan (140) a fold-out. That is not cosmetic — it decides whether headroom is even across the tent or tapers towards one end, and how much of the roof the tent occupies when closed. Canvas differs too: poly-cotton, 320 g/m2, PU-coated, 4000 mm waterproof rating against 210 g/m2 PU-coated RipStop polyester/cotton blend (sun sail 180 g/m2 with metallised inner coating).
Gasell Adventure
GA150 2.0
The GA150 2.0 is Gasell Adventure's aluminium-shell flip-up tent that opens on hydraulic gas struts to a 120 cm interior height and a 204 x 150 cm floor from a 150 x 115 cm packed size. Gasell lists an 85 kg tent weight, a 400 kg maximum roof load, a 50 mm memory-foam mattress, poly-cotton fabric (320 g/m2, 4000 mm) and app-controlled dimmable LED lighting, with a stated 1-2 minute setup. It is rated by the maker for two adults and up to two small children.
- Aluminium shell with a high 400 kg maximum roof-load rating
- App-controlled dimmable LED lighting inside and outside
- Includes a 50 mm memory-foam mattress and 320 g/m2 / 4000 mm poly-cotton fabric

Roof Lodge
Maikhan (140)
The Roof Lodge Maikhan is a German-made hybrid rooftop tent: a hard cover lifts and the fabric body folds out like a soft-shell to enlarge the floor area. It sits on Roof Lodge's thermoplastic honeycomb floor and uses a 210 g/m2 PU-coated polyester/cotton RipStop canopy, with a quick-mount frame said to require only four bolts. The 140 is the smaller of the two Maikhan sizes, with a 130 x 195 cm sleeping area and a closed height of about 29 cm.
- Hybrid design combines a low-profile hard cover with a fold-out tent for extra floor space
- German thermoplastic honeycomb floor and a robust PU-coated polycotton canopy
- Supplied with a 2.3 m aluminium telescoping ladder, LED light and two travel pillows
- Was listed as temporarily out of stock at the verifying dealer on 2026-07-27
Which one to pick
Take the Maikhan (140) if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Take the GA150 2.0 if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
