Frequently asked questions and answers

Will the Roof top tent fit on my vehicle?

The Roof top tent can be mounted on almost any vehicle with a dynamic roof load of at least 100 kg. You only need two cross struts/load carriers. The Roof top tent is then attached to the cross struts/load carriers using the enclosed materials. Mounting directly on a roof rail is not recommended, as the distance to the roof is very small and the U-bolts could cause scratches. You therefore also need cross struts/load carriers for roof rails. We are happy to offer you suitable carriers for your vehicle directly at the time of purchase.

But with me, the Roof top tent weighs a lot more, doesn't it?


For most vehicles, the roof load is between 75 – 100 kg.
However, this specification refers to the load during driving!
When stationary, the weight acting on the roof may be significantly higher.
Remember: in the event of a rollover, the car must be able to rest on the roof.
