Your Rooftop Tent Rental Checklist

Ready to elevate your camping game with a rooftop tent?
Here’s what you need to know before hitting the road—and what to discuss with the owner when renting:

Vehicle Compatibility

Make sure your car can support the tent’s weight:

Dynamic load limit (while driving)
Static load limit (when stationary)

Check your vehicle’s manual or contact the manufacturer.
Also ensure your roof rack is compatible and rated to hold the combined weight of the tent + occupants.

Tent Size and Capacity

Pick a tent that suits your crew:

Consider how many people it needs to sleep.
Larger tents = more space, but they also increase wind resistance and affect fuel consumption.

Setup and Installation

Think about ease of use:

Hard-shell tents: Open in under a minute—perfect for frequent stops.
Soft-shell tents: Take a few minutes longer, but often offer more interior space.

Weather Resistance

Be prepared for the elements:

Look for waterproof fabrics, solid frames, and sealed seams.
Some tents are 3-season, others are rugged enough for 4-season conditions.

Adventure awaits—make your rooftop tent the ultimate basecamp for all your outdoor explorations! 🌍✨
