The OVS HD Sidewinder is a 3-person side-loading aluminum hard shell roof top tent with a sub-2-minute setup, a 90.5" sleeping area, and a genuinely flat sleeping surface that opens from the side — not the front or rear — giving it a low-drag, flush profile on the road and full headroom from end to end inside.

Side Load Design
Opens From the Side. The Difference Is Immediate.
Front and rear opening tents eat into roof rack real estate and push the sleeping area off-centre relative to the vehicle. The Sidewinder opens laterally, keeping the footprint clean, the vehicle's front and rear accessible, and the sleeping area positioned across the full width of the roof. For taller riders — the reviewer at 6'1" specifically called this out — side-opening gives you the full 90" of sleeping length without compromise.
Setup is two latches, ladder down, two window rods in. Under a minute. Put away is the same process in reverse.



Aluminum Honeycomb Construction
6.5" Closed Profile. Built for the Highway.
The Sidewinder closes to just 6.5" — among the lowest profiles in the hard shell RTT segment. The honeycomb aluminum shell and insulated honeycomb base keep weight reasonable while maintaining structural rigidity under load. Marine grade 304 stainless steel hardware throughout, aircraft-grade aluminum handles, and a military-spec gasket seal complete a construction spec that holds up across climates and trail conditions.
The 280G ripstop polycotton Oxford body fabric carries 302 FMVSS flame retardant certification and a 3500 PU waterproof rating. The 120G fadeless breathable window screens keep airflow moving without fading or cracking over time.
Structural System
Pop-Up Struts. T-Slot Channels. Crossbar Rack Included.
Two 35.5" nitrogen gas-charged struts open and hold the shell, while one adjustable interior pop-up strut increases usable headroom along the length of the tent and provides additional support when weight is loaded on the crossbars above.
The T-slot accessory channels on the exterior allow you to mount recovery gear and lightweight accessories directly to the shell. Two included crossbars are fully compatible with Thule and Yakima accessories, rated at 100 lbs closed and 45 lbs open. They can be removed if not needed.

Built Into Every Detail
Nitrogen Gas Struts
2x 35.5" nitrogen-charged struts hold the shell open under load. Consistent operation across temperature ranges — no sagging in the cold.
Two-Latch Closure System
Two latches secure the shell for travel. Unlock both, drop the ladder, insert the window rods. That's the full setup sequence.
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Handle
The latch and handle system is built from aircraft-grade aluminum — not plastic, not mild steel. It cycles thousands of times without degrading.
Ballistic Nylon Pull Strap
Heavy-duty ballistic nylon strap with rubber hand grab for closing the shell. Doesn't stretch, doesn't degrade in UV.
Shoe Bags + Interior Storage
Hanging shoe bags keep mud and gear off the mattress. Flexipanel organizers and interior pockets keep essentials within reach.
81" Telescoping Ladder
81" aluminum telescoping ladder mounts on any side of the tent for flexible entry positioning depending on campsite layout.

from 401 reviewsPurchased two 23zeros 5 years ago, the 87 is for my wife and I and both were mounted on our Ford E350 15 passenger van. We spent 3 months living in them during housing transition and I slept in the 87 for over 500 nights these past two years, for health reasons, after I experienced a stroke at our toxic, built in 1948 rental house. I find the tents extremely well built, comfortable and they've proven their durability. We're in the Pacific NW and the tents have withstood extremely high wind gusting over 60mph (duringall night storms), pouring rain, heavy snow load and summer heat. UV on the rain fly has taken a toll but it's still holding it's own, zero water leaks, ever.
Outstanding product. It was a blast to build, very complete and straightforward assembly, great quality materials. The shipping was a small issue as it comes on a 5’ by 6’ skid and without a forklift home delivery is not an option. All the nuts and bolts were sorted and packed perfectly. The off road tires look great and will be tested. Make sure you have a large torque wrench for the 160 ft-lbs nuts!
Very smooth my son loves it
My son loves riding dirt bikes and this electric bike is absolutely amazing! He puts his helmet on and rides it all over our farm. The battery holds a charge for the many miles he rides every day and the bike and tires hold up to the rough terrain on the farm! We love this bike!!
Hey folks, Rich here. 62 years young and just got my third e-bike, the G300 Pro. After 40 years in the saddle, I finally found THE ONE. This machine lets me keep up with riders half my age! The handling's so natural it feels like an extension of my body, no fighting the bike, just pure riding joy. It's not just transportation; it's my pride and joy that'll be turning heads at the local meetups. To the team at Happyrunsports: Thank you for helping this old dog ride like he's still got puppy energy!
So far it’s been great. put it together with my 15 yr old son. Drove it once it was a blast. Took me a minute to figure out how to get it to go and change “gears”, but other than that easy breezy so far. I might by another one for my son once we get our house in the country. It’s fast so get yourself a motorcycle helmet:)
Display screen was way too dim during sunlight i think the back break pads were too close to the disk breaks but probably an easy fix. Other than that the torque and power is awesome
Assembly wasn’t bad Riding it is a blast. Better than I expected, what a fun bike. Very glad I purchased it
We purchased a storm shelter about a year and a half ago. Fortunately we haven't had to use it but we have it ready. The bench is also a storage area. I think I have half my house in there! Ha. There is plenty of room for snacks, water, a saw, pliers, ear plugs, a small air horn, a whistle, tarp, lock, helmets, and much more.
The people we dealt with were extremely professional. They explained everything they were doing as they installed it and could answer all our questions. I'd give them a 10 if possible.

Great company with great customer service!!
Great company with great customer service!!
Just installed. Packaging was phenomenal. Best packing for any package I have ever received. Directions are perfect. Inventory of items was perfect. I installed on the truck rather than the floor then lifting it with four people. By installing it on the truck I needed a second person here and there. I only have one small complaint, but I still give this a 99.99% rating. The complaint might possibly be because I assembled it on the truck instead of the floor. I have a super small gap where the rear section meets the side section at the truck rail. Its pinhole size. I will probably dab it with sealant if it leaks. I will be going to the car wash and testing it out first, but it is so very small it may not even need the sealant. I'm talking literally a pinhole size. I wonder if I assembled on the floor first if it wouldn't even be there. Other than that, everything about this topper is PURE CLASS. Shipping time, packaging, instructions, quality of materials, assembly. I love this topper.
