Roof Lodge Maikhan (140) vs Vickywood MAPLE 155
The Roof Lodge Maikhan (140) and the Vickywood MAPLE 155 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. Roof Lodge and Vickywood take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
The Maikhan (140) is 12 kg lighter at 55 kg against 67 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 MAPLE 155 gives 3.36 m² of sleeping floor against 2.54 m², about 32 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The MAPLE 155 lists $270 lower, at $2,905 against $3,175.
Canvas differs too: 210 g/m2 PU-coated RipStop polyester/cotton blend (sun sail 180 g/m2 with metallised inner coating) against breathable 300D silk 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

Which one to pick
Take the MAPLE 155 if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the Maikhan (140) if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
