Driving and Safety

Check that roof bars and the tent are firmly secured. Be careful in parking with low or minimum height clearance.

Before you drive

Make sure your roof bars and the tent mounts are well secured — clamps tight, hardware locked, cover closed for travel. If anything feels loose, stop and fix it with the owner’s guidance before you leave.

Height clearance

With a rooftop tent, your vehicle is taller. Be cautious in parking garages, barriers, tunnels, and other places with a minimum height limit. Check signs and leave extra margin.

While driving

You can drive normally with a rooftop tent.

  • Drive smoothly; allow more stopping distance and space in turns
  • Recheck mounts after the first short drive if you can stop safely
