Their range covers the full touring setup rather than single pieces, which avoids the adapter problem that appears when a tent from one maker meets a rack from another. Nomadic tents, 270-degree awnings and awning rooms are designed to mount to common rack systems with their own brackets.
Weight is the constraint that governs everything on a roof. The vehicle's roof load rating — set by the manufacturer and usually well below the rack's own capacity — is the number that applies, and a dynamic rating governs while driving where a much higher static rating applies parked. Weight up high also raises the centre of gravity and changes handling before it changes capacity.
Common questions
What is overlanding gear?
Equipment for vehicle-based travel where the vehicle is the base camp — roof top tents, awnings, recovery gear and storage. It differs from camping gear in being built to live on a moving vehicle.
What is a roof top tent?
A tent that folds onto a roof rack or bed rack and opens above the vehicle. It gets you off wet ground and sets up faster than a ground tent, at the cost of roof load and fuel economy.
What load can a roof rack take with a tent?
Two numbers matter: the dynamic rating while driving and the static rating while parked. A tent that is too heavy to drive with may still be fine once stopped, so check both figures.
Do you need a rack before a roof top tent?
Yes. The tent mounts to crossbars or a bed rack rated for its weight, so the rack decision comes first and sets what tent is usable.
