Roof Top Tents
Yes, rooftop tents are designed with these limits in mind. Dynamic load refers to the weight your vehicle can handle while in motion, while static load is the weight your roof can support when stationary. Check your vehicle’s roof rack and manufacturer specifications to ensure compatibility.
It is highly unlikely for a rooftop tent to be stolen due to the effort, tools, and multiple people required to remove it. Proper installation further reduces the risk of theft.
Yes, you can store flat blankets, but storing bulky pillows depends on the space inside your tent model. Always ensure the bedding does not interfere with closing the tent securely.
Yes, storing the tent dry is essential to avoid mold and mildew. If you must pack it wet, open it as soon as possible to dry it thoroughly.
Yes, they offer weatherproofing and insulation for year-round use. However, for colder conditions, a quality sleeping bag and additional blankets are recommended for comfort.

For other vehicles, the adjustable Flexi Rack or Versa Rack offers versatile fits for a wide range of truck models. Always check your vehicle’s dimensions against the rack specifications provided.

Many of our racks, like the Expedition Platform Max, feature aerodynamic, low-profile designs that minimize wind noise. Proper installation and spacing of crossbars can also reduce noise. Consider using wind fairings or ensuring all bolts and accessories are securely tightened.

Yes, many of our racks, like the TacomaTrail Elite Roof Rack, are designed to maintain sunroof functionality. Always check the clearance and avoid overloading the rack near the sunroof area.

Regular maintenance includes:
- Cleaning: Gently wash the fabric with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
