Is my rooftop tent mounting system compatible with the crossbars of my roof
rack?
To correctly mount the tent to the crossbars of your roof rack, they need to have
a specific height and width. Check the tent's instruction manual to confirm the
mounting system is compatible with your crossbars.

What is the front-to-back and side-to-side bar spread of your roof racks?
• The front-to-back bar spread for rooftop tents must be at least 28"/ 70cm to
properly support a tent.

*If your rack's side-to-side bar spread is less than the minimum requirement, the tent will need to be mounted
outside of the roof rack's foot and must meet the conditions on the next page. This will result in the tent being
slightly off-center on the vehicle.
