Roof Top Tent
Best for lightest mainstream softshell.
Load Rating Plate · RigFitment
⚠ Verify against your rack’s dynamic rating before mounting
Key facts
- At 93 lbs it is the lightest mainstream rooftop tent — the default answer for low rack ratings
- Low packed height pairs naturally with the Slimline II rack from the same brand
- The weight savings buy fitment headroom, not luxury — interior is a snug 2-sleeper
Fitment: the load math
The Roof Top Tent weighs 93 lbs. Here is how it stamps against four example rack dynamic ratings — these are generic rack-spec figures, not numbers for your vehicle. The static column assumes 2 sleepers at 175 lbs each and the commonly cited ~3× static rule of thumb (verify with your rack maker).
| Example dynamic rating | Dynamic (driving) | Static (2 sleepers) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 lbs | Caution | Over limit |
| 150 lbs | Pass | Caution |
| 165 lbs | Pass | Pass |
| 220 lbs | Pass | Pass |
Two things govern whether this tent fits your rig: the rack’s dynamic rating and your vehicle’s roof-load figure from the owner’s manual — the lower number wins, and the rack’s own weight counts against it too. Run your real numbers in the load checker, then read your platform guide.
