In fact, the rooftop tent is still quite practical, why do I say that? Because, compared with traditional tents, it is not so prominent in terms of space, but fortunately, the convenience of roof tents is very high. 

In addition, the location is relatively high, so you don't have to be afraid of harassment by mosquitoes and wild animals. Therefore, it is not without reason that the roof tent is highly practical. 

As for whether to install a rooftop tent, it depends on your own needs. If you often go camping, installing a roof tent will be a good choice.

But if you usually use your car for work, it is not necessary at all, because installing a tent will definitely increase the wind resistance of the roof, and the fuel consumption of the car will increase accordingly.

  • Is the rooftop tent easy to install?
  • Is my car suitable for a rooftop tent?
  • Will it fall off while sleeping?

I have sorted out the following strategies for the rooftop tent, and I will make it clear at one time about the rooftop tent.

10: After the rooftop tent is removed, how to store it? 

Because the size of the rooftop tent is equivalent to a mattress, it is limited by the height and width of the elevator. Therefore, for this problem, friends who live in high-rise condos need to consider whether they can enter and exit the elevator. And whether there is enough storage space at home to store it.

11: Is the roof tent suitable for older people?

 If it is an older person, it is not recommended to install it. After all, it is necessary to climb a ladder. However, for those who are particularly healthy, it is another matter. Take control and be safe.

12: After the roof tent is installed, will it affect the stability of the car? After installing this type of tent, it may have a certain degree of impact on the stability of the car body. However, it is within the safe range and acceptable range, otherwise, the country will not allow the production of this product.

13: What models can be installed rooftop tents? 

Roof tents are usually installed in SUVs or off-road vehicles, and can also be used in cars, vans, pickups, luggage trailers, and other vehicles. Of course, the necessary premise is that the roof can be installed and fixed to the luggage rack and dynamically loaded To be greater than 60KG. If it is a car, as long as the roof rack is strong enough, a roof tent can also be installed. Therefore, a high-strength crossbar luggage rack must be installed before the car wants to install the rooftop tent.

14: How to choose roof racks for rooftop tents Common roof racks are generally divided into two types: longitudinal separation and lateral separation. If you want to install the roof tent, you must install it on the load-bearing luggage rack, and it is best to use it for special vehicles.

Generally, the single strength of this luggage rack is more than 100 kg, which can carry more weight. Among them, the horizontally separated luggage rack can directly install the roof tent on it, and the longitudinally separated luggage rack must be equipped with guide rails before the tent can be installed on it.


15: How Often Do Rooftop Tents Get Stolen?

Not many inexperienced campers consider theft a danger when they go camping, and if they do, it usually means that they will pack valuables away in their cars and lock them at night.

Whether or not your tent gets stolen is actually a great concern for many rooftop tent campers, and here’s why:

Rooftop tents are expensive and therefore valuable. They have pretty easy mechanisms to attach and detach them from your car, making them somewhat simple to steal. Special nuts and bolts, applicators, and mounting bracket locks are available to keep your tent safe from theft when you aren’t around.
