Will my roof racks support the tent? The most important thing to know / check is the dynamic weight capacity of your roof racks. Your roof racks should support a minimum dynamic weight capacity of the total weight of the tent. Static weight capacity is much higher than dynamic weight since it is not moving weight and is evenly distributed. 

How do I know my roof racks will work? If you're unsure, please get in touch with us and we can look into it for you.

How do I store my RTT? We always recommend that you keep your RTT at least 2” off the ground to prevent moisture from getting into your tent and causing mould or other potential damage. Ensure to fully air out / dry out your tent before storing it for a long period of time. Do not leave it outside directly below the elements if you will not be using it for weeks or months at a time.

My crossbars are thick, will they fit? Our universal mounting hardware can accommodate up to 4.5" thick crossbars. 

How far of the spacing should my crossbars be? To find out the optimal distance, divide the length of your RTT by 3 (if you have two crossbars.) For example if your RTT is 85" long, and you have 2 crossbars, divide 85/3 = 28" should be the spacing.

What do I do if my rooftop tent is wet when I'm closing it? When you have an opportunity, make sure you open the tent so it can completely air out. Do keep in mind that big changes in temperatures, such as freeze and thaw cycles, can cause condensation even if a tent is closed. If you do not air out the moisture, mold and mildew will occur. We recommend airing your tent out every few weeks, even when your tent is not in use. Humid climates may require airing out your tent more regularly.
