Roof Top Tents: Compatibility with Vehicle



Roof Top Tents with double beds can lay in one of two ways:

vehicle layouts

They open across or open ALONG the vehicle

Both options have advantageous and disadvantages

A determining factor is the width of the vehicle on the roof and the width of the Roof top tent on the roof.

vehicle layouts 3.jpgThe Smaller the vehicle and therefore smaller the roof width, the only option is the one that opens across the vehicle as the width when closed is close to 1100mm compared to 1400mm+ for the alternative.

Opens Across the vehicle

Suits Smaller Vehicles

Allows surfboards, kayaks or bikes to be added alongside on roof on larger vehicles

Does not conflict with high opening rear hatch or door

Only 2 roof racks needed

Suits Narrower width units of 1130mm

 

Opens Along the vehicle over back

Can park in narrow slot

Has to be at least 1400 wide for double bed

Width can produce overhang on side
