What is a roof tent?

A roof tent, as the name suggests, is a tent that is installed on the roof of your vehicle. It is a specific type of tent that requires roof racks to be mounted, unlike a ground tent set up near your vehicle.

Roof tents are designed to remain on the roof of your vehicle during your travels. When folded and protected by a transport cover, roof tents can be installed on sedans, 4x4 vehicles, vans, and even campervans.

Once you reach your destination, the roof tent is easy and quick to set up. An integrated ladder allows you to climb up and down. The ladder also supports the tent when it is deployed. Once the tent is folded back onto the roof, you can hit the road again and continue your adventures.

The advantages of a roof tent

Roof tents allow you to embark on adventures with your vehicle while enjoying comfortable sleeping arrangements. Once installed on the roof racks of your vehicle, the tent is easy and quick to set up.

Unlike a traditional tent, a roof tent eliminates the step of setting up on the ground with unfolding fabric, threading poles, and driving stakes, etc. The roof tent's main advantage is that it keeps you off the ground. For example, in winter and snowy conditions, you are not exposed to the cold ground. In inclement weather, the roof tent also keeps you off wet or muddy ground. The roof tent is also more comfortable as it incorporates a proper foam mattress.

Lastly, this type of equipment is appealing because it provides a genuine and comfortable sleeping solution without the need to invest in a van or a campervan. Paired with a shower tent, the roof tent offers the necessary comfort for longer stays. In summary, the roof tent is practical as it can be installed on various vehicles, is easy to set up, and provides great comfort.

How to set up a roof tent?

The roof tent needs to be securely attached to the roof racks of your vehicle. A specific mounting kit is provided with the tent. Once you arrive at your destination, setting up the roof tent only takes a few minutes. There are two options depending on the type of roof tent.

Soft-shell tents

The setup for soft-shell tents involves unfolding. Simply remove the protective cover, pull out the ladder, unfold the tent, and adjust the length of the ladder.

Hardshell tents

For a hardshell tent, the setup is done by opening. Remove the latches, and the tent opens automatically. It couldn't be simpler. For both soft-shell and hardshell roof tents, allow 5 to 10 minutes for the entire setup.
