A rooftop tent is typically secured to the purpose-built roof racks of a 4x4 that has sufficient capacity to carry weighty objects up top. However, if a roof has a pair of bars, a roof rack or a frame, you should be able to mount a tent.

Rooftop tents can be fitted to any SUV or 4X4 that has the legal capability to carry a ‘dynamic’ load of up to 75 kilograms.

It can be awkward to lift a rooftop tent onto the vehicle for one person, but easy to secure once it’s up there. If you’ve got a mate to help out, then you’re laughing. Once you have set the whole system up, installation should be a 10-minute exercise.

Once installed, tents can easily be set-up and folded down by one person in a matter of minutes. Internal elastic straps aid when folding the tent during pack-up, while the retractable ladder makes the task a lot easier.  Once installed a tent takes between three and five minutes to set up, while folding down takes a few extra minutes – add a further five minutes for the wall system.
