Why this product
The Approach 2 Small at 105 lbs is Tepui's lightest fold-out, suitable for smaller vehicles and crossovers with limited payload capacity. Same 600D polyester ripstop and 2.5-inch mattress as the larger models. The "small" designation refers to the footprint, not necessarily sleeping quality for two. If you need a fold-out that works on a compact SUV or crossover, the weight savings over the Medium and Large models matter.
