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! 🌍✨
