Roof Top Tents

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tent fit my vehicle?

Fitment depends on your roof rack's dynamic weight rating and crossbar spread, not just your vehicle model. Most roof top tents weigh 100–160 lbs before gear or sleepers. If you're not sure, send us your vehicle and rack details before you order.

How long does it take to set up and take down?

Soft-shell tents typically take 3–5 minutes to unfold and set up. Hardshell tents are faster — often under a minute — but cost more. If you move camp frequently, that difference matters more than it seems on paper.

Can I leave the tent on my roof full-time?

Most are built for it, but expect a fuel economy hit from added drag and weight. Check your rack's static weight rating for long-term mounting, not just driving weight.

How many people can actually sleep in it comfortably?

Manufacturer sleep ratings tend to be optimistic. A "3-person" tent is usually comfortable for 2 adults plus a small child. Check the actual mattress dimensions, not just the rating.

Does it come with a mattress and ladder?

Varies by model — some include both, some are shell-only. We'll always tell you exactly what's in the box before you buy.
