A rooftop Tent car provides the ultimate ease and convenience when traveling. Unfolding in minutes, a rooftop tent provides sleeping quarters off the ground, protected from the elements. Spacious and comfortable, all bedding can remain inside the tent during the journey, freeing up vital storage space in the vehicle, and allowing the tent to be quickly and easily packed away.
The rooftop tent consists of the following;
Raised “Climate Cover” Flysheet to control temperature and reduce condensation, Pop Up Window Awning, Fly screen Windows, Premium quality waterproof, breathable rip stop poly-cotton canvas, Lightweight Aluminium and Insulated Floor, Luxury 65mm High Density Foam Mattress, Retractable Aluminium Ladder with Entrance Under, Cover, YKK Zips, Rugged 1000D Waterproof PVC ‘On Car’ Cover and High Lift Extension Kit Available.
The rooftop tents can fit a wide variety of vehicles. But just because a tent will fit on your car, doesn’t mean it’s ideal for every vehicle. Having a tent on top of your roof can create significant wind resistance, subsequently affecting steering capabilities and lowering your fuel economy. You also have to ensure that your roof is equipped to support the added weight of both your tent and those camping inside of it.
Check your vehicle’s owner manual for the roof rack’s load capacity information, and when in doubt, reach out to tent manufacturers to inquire about compatibility.
On top of your vehicle needing to be compatible with your tent kit, your roof rack system needs to check out too.
You’ll at least need crossbars that can take on the weight of your tent. Whether you’re mounting your tent on your vehicle, truck bed, or travel trailer, having the right rack system designed for the right amount of support is crucial to protecting your vehicle, tent, and other surfaces from damage.
During installation, you’ll also want to consider what type of security system you want for your tent. There are also various types of locking bolts, mounts, and keyed systems that might need to be integrated during the initial installation process. Many of these security accessories will depend on the type of tent you have.
Once your tent is fully installed and secured to your roof, practice setting it up before taking off on your maiden voyage. This way, you can see what adjustments will need to be made or what additional gear you’ll need before arriving at the campground.
If your tent isn’t going to be a permanent staple on your vehicle, you’ll need to have a plan for uninstalling and storing your gear during the off-season or in between trips. Unfold and leave it up on the car or remove and store in the garage.
Camping Kitchen
The little things always matter, especially when it comes to food. Our testers have gone to great lengths to bring you the best camping kitchen setup around. We divulge on the best camping cookware, top camping stoves, and yes, even a comparison of camping tables. When you have a good setup, you can cook the best food, in the quickest amount of time, with the least amount of fuss. Be discerning, however, as there is a lot of variety out there and having a good sense of how you intend to use your kit will make all the difference.
Camping Stove/ gas stove
Camping stoves range from your standard double burner to those with legs so it can stand on its own. Not to be confused with a backpacking stove, a camping stove is the kind you use when car camping or you are, at least, nearby the car. Why? They are hefty and not built for backpacking. Time to boil and wind resistance is key to a good camping stove, along with a host of other metrics.
Camping Cookware
Crucial considerations to any future set of the best camping cookware are: what is it made out of and what types of bells and whistles does it have that I don’t know about? Reason being, there are some creative differences in what was traditionally just referred to as just “pots and pans.”
Camping Table
Tired of using your camping stove on the ground? Yep, you sure are. Let’s be honest, camping tables are not an essential item to sleep in the woods, but they sure make life easier when you do, and they are handy for more than just cooking.
Camping Coffee
Never, ever underestimate the importance of a cup of coffee when camping. A good cup of coffee is the glue that holds the day together. We’re happy to say you have a lot of options, from espresso plungers to presses to pour overs.
Camping Chairs
The sheer diversity in shape and construction of today’s camping chairs is bewildering. But don’t be fooled; there are clear stand-outs. The top camping chairs are comfortable, portable, and they last a few seasons.
Soft Coolers
Think portability when you think of soft coolers. These are great, of course, for camping, but also for taking to the park, beach, or a friend’s house. Soft coolers don’t hold as much as a standard cooler, but, again, they make up for it when you are on the move.
Camp Lighting
Lanterns and headlamps have a lot of range. No pun intended. Over the past few decades, batteries have gotten better and lights have gotten brighter, all the more reason to take the time to figure out exactly what kind of campsite lighting you want.
The rooftop tents come fully installed with the sleeping equipment. Camping blankets are as good for sleeping as they are for wrapping around you on those chilly mornings. But make sure you make a good decision before you ditch the sleeping bag, if that’s what you’re thinking, as camping blankets tend not to be as warm as their zippered counterparts.
