At a glance
Why this product
The Approach 2 Medium is Tepui's middle option, balancing floor space and weight at 120 lbs. Same 600D polyester ripstop and 2.5-inch mattress as the other Approach models. With Thule's ownership, parts availability and customer support are generally reliable. If you want a mid-range fold-out that is lighter than the Large but more spacious than the Small, this is a sensible middle ground.
