Roof racks:
Mounting our rooftop tent is easy but depends on your roof rack (cross bars or carriers).
They are of great importance, without the right cross bars the rooftop tent can not be fitted.
Roof carriers/cross bars come in many shapes and sizes, but we prefer the roof bars of the Thule brand; Swedish solidity and a trusted brand for us.
You can buy or rent the cross bars yourself from your own dealer.
If you want to do some research yourself, please check the website https://www.thule.com/en-nl/nl/roof-rack/car-racks?q=hjVizDXjw
Here you can find within a few minutes which system you need for your (smaller) car.
Please note that the distance from the roof of the car to the top of the crossbars is at least 8 cm. We need to be able to put our hands in between the roof and the rooftop tent safely to install the rooftop tent.
The roof racks must also be about 70 cm apart, but also no further than 140 cm. If in doubt, please contact us well in advance.
Certainly if you use carriers from the car manufacturer it is useful to pass on this information to us.
We can then follow up and check if there is enough mounting space between the roof of your car and the bottom of the rooftop tent or if the width of the carriers is not too wide, the bolts are long enough to fit the tent etc etc.
Please note that we charge € 40,- per hour when mounting takes more than the 45 min. we normally use when helping you for the first time.
