Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles can fit rooftop tents? Most cars, SUVs, and 4x4 vehicles with roof bars can carry rooftop tents. Check your vehicle's dynamic roof load capacity (usually 50-75kg) and ensure proper roof bar installation before mounting any roof tent.

How long does it take to set up a rooftop tent? Hard shell rooftop tents typically set up in 30-60 seconds with gas strut assistance. Soft shell roof tents take 2-5 minutes to fully deploy but offer more interior space and often include annexes.

Are rooftop tents waterproof? Yes, all our roof tents feature waterproof fabrics, sealed seams, and drainage systems. They're designed to handle UK weather including heavy rain, wind, and condensation management for comfortable sleeping.

What's the difference between hard shell and soft shell rooftop tents? Hard shell roof tents offer faster setup, better aerodynamics when closed, and often include integrated mattresses. Soft shell rooftop tents provide more sleeping space, lower cost, and often include awnings or annexes.

Do I need special roof bars for rooftop tents? Yes, rooftop tents require heavy-duty roof bars rated for the tent's weight plus occupants. Standard roof bars may not be sufficient - check manufacturer specifications and consider upgrading to expedition-grade roof rack systems.

Can rooftop tents be used in winter? Many roof tents work in winter with proper insulation and condensation management. Look for 4-season models with reinforced fabrics, better insulation, and ventilation systems designed for cold weather camping.
