ROOF TENT SERIES

When purchasing a roof top tent for your car, there are some key factors to consider. First, check your vehicle’s compatibility. Then, decide whether to choose a hard-shell or soft-shell car roof top tent. Hard-shell models like OPENROAD's are more durable, easier to install, and have better aerodynamics, providing superior weather resistance and noise reduction. On the other hand, soft-shell tents are typically more affordable and lightweight, offering more sleeping space with a foldable design but lacking the durability and aerodynamic advantages of a hard-shell tent. You’ll also want to consider the tent size, material, and whether it’s easy to set up and use. Check if it comes with a telescopic ladder, which can adapt to vehicles of various heights, including SUV rooftop tents and Jeep top tents.

OPENROAD's mission is to offer the most valuable products to camping enthusiasts. Our open roof tent is a hard-shell model, ensuring protection from wind and rain in any weather. It also provides excellent sound insulation, offering you the most comfortable rest after a day of outdoor adventure. Whether you drive a Jeep or an SUV, this rooftop tent for Jeep or SUV rooftop tent is the perfect companion for your trips.

How do I know if my car can handle a roof top tent?

First of all, OPENROAD offers both heavy-duty and lightweight car rooftop tents. The lightweight version weighs only 161 lbs, making it perfect for road trips. When driving on the highway, you won’t even notice the presence of the OPENROAD car roof top tent, as it doesn’t affect your vehicle’s performance. However, when adventuring off-road, we recommend keeping your speed below 30 mph to ensure safety while using the rooftop tent for car.

As for concerns about the weight of the car roof tent on your vehicle, don’t worry! Most vehicles, especially SUVs and trucks, have sufficient roof load capacity to handle the weight of both the car rooftop tents for SUVs and passengers. However, it is essential to install a quality car roof rack and consider the combined weight of the tent and occupants. When installed and used correctly, the car top tent won’t damage your vehicle. On the contrary, it enhances your outdoor adventure experience without compromising the safety or performance of your car.

The OPENROAD rooftop tents for SUVs come in two models: the heavy-duty version and the lightweight version, with closed heights of 7 inches and 4.8 inches, respectively. You also need to account for the height of your car roof rack. Ideally, the height of your garage should exceed the combined height of your vehicle, SUV rooftop tent, and rack.
