Yes, in most cases, a roof tent can be mounted to your car, as long as your vehicle can be fitted with roof bars or a roof rack. However, there are a few important checks to ensure compatibility before setting off on your next roof tent camping adventure.

What to check before installing a roof tent:

1. Your vehicle’s weight limit
   Refer to your vehicle’s handbook to confirm that your roof can support at least 50kg of dynamic weight (the weight your vehicle can handle while in motion). This is crucial for safely mounting a roof top tent.

2. Roof bars compatibility
   Ensure that your roof bars or roof rack are suitable for carrying a car roof tent. Always check with the manufacturer of your roof bars or rack to confirm they meet the weight and design requirements for a roof tent UK setup.

All waterproof materials will be given a waterproof rating that is determined with a hydrostatic head test- most often referenced in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof it is. If a material is 2500mm waterproof this means the fabric can withstand 2500mm of water over a day before water will start to penetrate through. The minimum standard for a material to be waterproof is 1500mm.
