Will my roof racks support the tent? The most important thing to know / check is the dynamic weight capacity of your roof racks. Your roof racks should support a minimum dynamic weight capacity of the total weight of the tent. Static weight capacity is much higher than dynamic weight since it is not moving weight and is evenly distributed.

How do I store my RTT? We always recommend that you keep your RTT at least 2” off the ground to prevent moisture from getting into your tent and causing mould or other potential damage.

What do I do if my rooftop tent is wet when I'm closing it? When you have an opportunity, make sure you open the tent so it can completely air out. Do keep in mind that big changes in temperatures, such as freeze and thaw cycles, can cause condensation even if a tent is closed. If you do not air out the moisture, mold and mildew will occur. We recommend airing your tent out every few weeks, even when your tent is not in use. Humid climates may require airing out your tent more regularly.
