The Karsten Lacerta fits the whole family, comes with a sturdy, spacious awning as standard, and is easily expandable, using an extra removable wall and groundsheet. The Lacerta is modern, stormproof and pitched in no time.
When the weather’s good, the large awning and interior provide ample room. During rainy weather, or when you feel the need for more living space, it’s super-easy to use the awning to create an extra compartment. By using the removable wall and extending the groundsheet, the living space can be increased to 24m sq.
Need more storage space? Karsten’s designers have thought of that, too. The Lacerta’s zip-in storage unit is high, deep and sturdy, but folds up for easy transport.
The Lacerta’s headroom is over 2.2m and the sleeping compartments are as deep as they are high. The ventilation mesh at the top of the dividing walls create airflow throughout the tent.
The Lacerta is pitched in no time. It features pole sleeves on the outside for easy assembly. Open the sleeves using the zip, feed the preformed poles through the sleeves and zip the sleeves closed. Its solid construction, 100% TenCate cotton canvas and integral groundsheet make this tent exceptionally storm-resistant and rainproof.
