Will This Roof Tent Fit Your Car? (Let’s no guess and make a riddy of it)
To fit this roof tent, your vehicle will need roof bars rated to at least 72kg dynamic weight and suitable spacing between them.
Most SUVs, vans, pickups, and estates will be absolutely fine—but smaller cars may not be suitable.
👉 If you’re not sure, just send us your registration or pop into the shop and we’ll check it for you (saves you guessing and getting it wrong — we’ve all been there)
Your car needs to handle the dynamic load (while driving) of the tent, which is usually around 72kg+ depending on the model.
Once parked, your car can support much more weight (that includes you, your gear, and whoever else is climbing in).
👉 Always check your vehicle manual—or ask us and we’ll help you figure it out (better that than ending up with a very expensive wobble)
Yes—you’ll need quality roof bars that are:
- Properly fitted
- Strong enough for the load
- Spaced correctly across your roof
Most standard roof bar systems from brands like Thule or similar will work.
👉 Not sure what you’ve got? Bring the car in and we’ll take a look (takes 5 minutes, and saves a lot of head-scratching later)
Absolutely.
👉 Pop into West End Outdoors, Bearsden, or send us your reg and we’ll confirm compatibility for you.
You can even come and see the tent set up in person and make sure it’s right for your vehicle.
(Much better than buying it blind and hoping for the best)
