Premium European Materials and Manufacturing

For over 30 years, James Baroud has designed tents known for their durability. All materials are sourced from Europe to ensure consistent quality.

The hard shells are manufactured in Milan, Italy. The technical fabric comes from the Netherlands, from the same supplier used in certain NASA applications. Stitching uses German Gütermann threads for enhanced strength. Each tent is hand-assembled in Porto, Portugal, delivering premium craftsmanship backed by a 5-year warranty.

Reinforced Fiberglass Shell

The multi-layer shell withstands extreme conditions such as snow, rain, and strong winds. Its gelcoat protects against UV rays and wear.

An integrated solar fan continuously refreshes the air, significantly reducing condensation. Auto-locking latches ensure secure closure, even on rough terrain.

Advanced 3-Layer Proline Fabric

The Proline fabric is waterproof and fully blackout. It blocks light completely and reduces noise. The anti-condensation coating prevents moisture buildup under the mattress. In addition, a dedicated port allows the use of a diesel heater for true 4-season performance.

Included Anti-Condensation Mattress

A patented anti-condensation mattress is included. It improves airflow beneath the main mattress, keeping the interior dry and comfortable even in humid conditions.

Integrated LED Lighting

Built-in LED lighting is included as standard. It provides soft, adjustable light for a comfortable atmosphere.

Integrated Solar Fan

With a flow rate of 19.2 m³/h, the fan efficiently refreshes the air. It runs up to 24 hours thanks to its internal battery, which recharges automatically via solar power.

Secure Locking System

Auto-locking latches prevent accidental opening. They are compatible with padlocks for added security and ensure stability on rough terrain.

High-Pressure Piston Arms

Hydraulic pistons allow quick and effortless setup. They keep the fabric properly tensioned, improving wind resistance and overall stability.

High-Density Mattress

The 65 mm mattress provides excellent comfort for long nights. Its dense foam offers proper support, and the washable cover makes maintenance easy.

Interior Storage

A ceiling net stores lightweight clothing, while side pockets keep small items within reach. When closed, the tent can store bedding and accessories inside.

Included Ladder

The telescopic ladder extends up to 2.4 m and supports up to 200 kg. Anti-slip steps improve safety. An XL version is available for taller vehicles.

Mounting Clamps

Adjustable clamps ensure a secure attachment. They resist freezing and corrosion. Proper tightening keeps the tent firmly in place.

Mounting Rails

Rails under the shell allow easy installation on roof bars using a hex key. For safety, a maximum speed of 100 km/h is recommended.

Compatibility

The Evasion Proline fits most standard roof racks. Always check your vehicle’s dynamic load capacity. It is compatible with James Baroud awnings and accessories.

You can add a diesel heater or solar system for greater autonomy, turning your vehicle into a true off-grid base.

Use Cases

For weekend trips, the tent opens in seconds and offers excellent ventilation with open views. On road trips, its interior space makes daily life easier.

In winter, its resistance to harsh conditions ensures reliable protection. With proper insulation, it becomes a true 4-season solution.

Practical Tips

Install insulation before cold conditions. Use a diesel heater for added comfort. Choose campsites that match your itinerary.

Check mounts regularly during long trips and add portable lighting for convenience. For extended stays, plan your energy setup to ensure long-term autonomy.
