Why this product
Why the Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3?
The Kukenam 3 is Tepui's core 3-person fold-out at 125 lbs. It shares the same 600D polyester ripstop and 2.5-inch mattress as the rest of the Explorer line but without the Autana's annex. At 125 lbs it is lighter than the Autana 3's 130 lbs. If you do not need an annex and want a straightforward 3-person fold-out from a Thule-backed brand, the Kukenam is the simpler, lighter option.
