What is a roof tent?
A roof tent, also known as a rooftop tent or RTT, is a type of tent that is mounted on the roof rack or roof bars of a vehicle, such as a car, SUV, or truck. Instead of being pitched on the ground like traditional tents, roof tents are elevated and unfold or pop up to create a sleeping area above the vehicle.
Roof tents typically feature a sturdy base that attaches securely to the vehicle's roof rack, while the tent itself is made from durable materials such as canvas or polyester. They often come with a built-in mattress for sleeping comfort and can accommodate one or more people, depending on the size of the tent.
One of the main advantages of roof tents is their convenience and ease of setup. Since they are mounted on the roof of the vehicle, there's no need to search for a flat camping spot or deal with rocky or uneven terrain. Additionally, roof tents provide added security and protection from wildlife, insects, and moisture compared to ground tents.
Roof tents are popular among campers, overlanders, and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy off-grid adventures and want a comfortable and convenient sleeping solution while exploring remote or rugged locations.
Can I put a roof tent on my car?
Whether you can put a roof tent on your car depends on several factors:
Roof Rack or Bars: Your car must have a roof rack or roof bars installed to mount a roof tent. These provide the necessary support and attachment points for securing the tent.
Weight Capacity: Check the weight capacity of your car's roof rack or bars to ensure they can safely support the weight of the roof tent and occupants. Roof tents can vary in weight, so it's essential to verify that your vehicle's roof system can handle the load.
Roof Type: Consider the type of roof your car has. Most roof tents are designed to be mounted on vehicles with flat or slightly curved roofs. If your car has a sunroof, spoiler, or other protrusions, make sure they won't interfere with the installation or use of the roof tent.
Vehicle Height: Adding a roof tent to your car will increase its overall height, which may affect clearance under low-hanging obstacles such as bridges, tree branches, or parking structures. Be mindful of the increased height when driving and parking.
Installation: Proper installation is crucial for safety and stability. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when mounting the roof tent to your car's roof rack or bars.
Before purchasing a roof tent, it's advisable to research and ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle model. Additionally, consulting with a professional or experienced retailer can provide valuable guidance and assistance in selecting the right roof tent and ensuring proper installation on your car.
Do campsites allow roof tents?
Whether campsites allow roof tents can vary depending on the specific rules and regulations of each campground. In general, many campsites do permit roof tents, but it's essential to check with the campground beforehand to confirm their policies regarding tent types and camping equipment.

Is the hardware for mounting the tent included?
To locate the mounting kit, you can check the front pocket of the tent. This pocket usually contains a tool kit as well, so you can easily find both items in one place. The mounting kit comes in handy when you need to set up the tent or attach any additional parts to it. It usually includes screws, bolts, and other necessary hardware needed for the tent’s assembly.
How should you clean/treat your tent?
When it comes to cleaning your SkyPod Roof Tent, it’s important to use a cleaner and waterproof treatment that is specifically designed for the type of synthetic fabric used in most tents. We suggest that you clean and treat your tent at least once a year to keep it in good condition. Additionally, you should clean any parts made of fabric using a soft brush and/or air compressor to remove any dirt or debris.
How should I store my tent long term?
There are several recommended ways to store your SkyPod Roof Tent, but before doing so, it is important to ensure that the tent is fully dried out. In case you have to pack up a wet tent when leaving camp, make sure to open it up and dry it out as soon as you get back home. This is because mould and mildew can form if the tent is left wet for too long.
When removing the SkyPod Roof Tent, it is recommended to get another person to assist you. This will help prevent any injuries or possibly damaging your vehicle. If you have to remove the tent by yourself, it is advisable to use a hoist system.
If you have to take your SkyPod Roof Tent off and store it in your garage, make sure you never set the tent down on the floor, which could damage the exterior PVC cover. Always use a foam pad to sit the SkyPod Roof Tent on, and yes, it’s okay to set most models on their side.
One thing people don’t think of is wrapping the tent up in a tarp to prevent rodents from damaging the fabric. The best recommendation is to wrap the tent in stretch wrap to protect the fabric from moisture, dust, and insects.
Is it easy to install a Skypod Roof Tent?
Your new SkyPod Roof Tent is designed to be easy to install and should take no longer than 30 minutes. You will need an extra pair of hands to assist you in lifting it onto your roof bars, but after that, it’s simply a matter of sliding in the fixing brackets and tightening the nuts.
How will I know if a Skypod Roof Tent will fit my vehicle?
SkyPod models are designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, from small cars to SUVs. If you’re considering a SkyPod for your vehicle, you’ll first need to check your vehicle’s roof load limit to make sure it can support the weight of the SkyPod and any cargo you plan to carry inside. This information should be available in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or online. Once you know your roof load limit, you can choose the appropriate SkyPod model for your needs.
