The Tent Guy

Founded in 2020 with the belief that quality camping and 4x4 equipment should be accessible to more people. The business sources and sells quality second-hand camping, 4x4 and overlanding equipment at fair prices.

Good equipment doesn't need to be brand new. Rooftop tents, roof racks, drawer systems, camp kitchens — the expensive bits of a 4x4 build that plenty of people would rather buy secondhand, without paying the new-retail price.

Quality checked, honestly described

We check the gear before we list it, and we'll tell you the good, the bad and anything worth knowing. The photos on each listing are of the actual item.

One of each

Everything listed is a single, specific used item — most of our gear is one only. There is no "order more". If a listing says Available, it is still here. Once it sells, the listing stays up marked Sold so you can see the kind of gear we handle and roughly what it goes for.

Viewing and collection

Johannesburg South, close to Gold Reef City. Monday–Saturday, 8:00am–5:00pm, by appointment only. We strongly recommend viewing an item before buying — if you can't view it yourself, someone else can view it on your behalf, or we can send extra photos, a video, or a video call.
