Inflatable rooftop tent system for vehicles

A roof-top tent system comprising:

• a base system adapted to mount to a roof of a vehicle, the base system including a rigid platform and an air delivery mechanism, the air delivery mechanism integrated into the base system, the rigid platform having a rigid surface defining a perimeter edge, the air delivery mechanism having a filling valve adapted to receive pressurized air into a manifold coupled with the rigid platform, the rigid platform including mounting hardware adapted to attach the roof-top tent system to a vehicle roof rack of the roof of the vehicle;
• an inflatable mattress pad coupled with the rigid platform and supported by the rigid surface, the inflatable mattress pad including a first air inlet coupled with the manifold, the first air inlet receiving the pressurized air from the manifold into the inflatable mattress pad;
• an inflatable tent frame including an inflatable tube coupled with the base system, the inflatable tube having a second air inlet coupled with the air delivery mechanism, the second air inlet receiving the pressurized air from the air delivery mechanism into the inflatable tube, the inflatable tube adapted to support a tent canopy when the inflatable tube is inflated using the pressurized air, the manifold coupled with the second air inlet of the inflatable tube of the inflatable tent frame to deliver the pressurized air from the filling valve to the inflatable tube, the manifold being adapted to deliver the pressurized air from the filling valve to one or more of the inflatable mattress pad and the inflatable tent frame;
• and
• the tent canopy including a flexible membrane having a canopy fastener, the canopy fastener extending along a perimeter of the flexible membrane and adapted to attach the flexible membrane to the perimeter edge of the rigid platform, the tent canopy forming an interior cavity with the base system when the inflatable tube is inflated.
