How to Choose the Right Rooftop Tent

A rooftop tent must suit the vehicle, roof-load rating, number of travellers and the way the vehicle is used. Start with the vehicle manufacturer’s dynamic roof-load limit, then confirm the rack, mounting system and tent are compatible.

What to check before buying

Vehicle make, model, year and body type
Roof-load rating and rack capacity
Open and closed dimensions
Mattress size, ventilation and weather protection
Access, annex and awning compatibility
