Source: dometic.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by offroadtents.com. The manufacturer page (Front Runner, now sold through Dometic's Official Store) lists this tent at "$ 1199.00" and confirms core specs verbatim: 260g poly-cotton ripstop tent body, "Sleeps 2+", a 2.25"/6cm high-density foam mattress, ~95 lbs (43 kg), and an aluminum ladder rated to 400 lb; Front Runner's own "front-runner-feather-lite-roof-top-tent" URL redirects to this page, confirming it is the same model (TENT031) and not the separate Feather-Lite II (TENT257). The Off Road Tents retailer page explicitly names it the "Front Runner Feather-Lite Roof Top Tent" (TENT031), matches the $1,199.00 price, and supplies the imperial dimension table used here: closed 49" L x 53" W x 12" H, open interior 87" x 55" with a 55" peak height, 2.25" mattress, poly-cotton ripstop body, soft-shell design, annex sold separately. staticLoadCapacityLbs is left null because only the ladder's 180 kg/400 lb limit is disclosed, not the deployed tent's rated occupant static load.
