Will a roof tent fit my car?
Yes – in the vast majority of cases, as long as your vehicle can accommodate two crossbars or a roof rack/platform. The most common setups include:
Crossbars mounted on roof rails (e.g., Thule, Yakima systems, etc.).
Flat roof platform (rack).
Classic roof rack with a frame – if the rack is wider than the tent base, it’s worth adding an extra crossbar in line with the top of the frame to prevent the tent base from “sagging” in the middle and to allow it to open freely.
It’s best to have a few centimeters of clearance between the crossbar/platform and the roof surface – enough to comfortably fit your hand and a wrench when tightening the mounting brackets.
The make and body type of the vehicle are less important than the ability to safely position two solid support points. We install roof tents on city cars, SUVs, off-road vehicles, vans, and even camper vans.
