FAQs
In almost all cases, yes!
All of our tents attach to the roof via standard crossbars (or platform racks), so as long as you have a good set with an adequate weight rating, you will be ready to camp. Tent selection depends on your specific vehicle, preferences, and needs. In general, XL tents will fit better on full-size vehicles and our more compact tents work well on small ones.
For more information on roof racks, weight limits, and tent selection check out this video
Once you have crossbars or a rack, installation is very straightforward. You will use the included mounting hardware and simply clamp it around your crossbars or roof rack and tighten to secure the tent.
For detailed installation instructions, please check out this page.
Our current delivery time will take approximately 5-13 days from the time of purchase to your door. All of our tents, except the Meadowlark, ship via LTL freight.

Due to its innovative design, the Meadowlark is as easy to operate as a hard-shell tent. Simply unclip the quick cover, grab the ladder to fold it out, and you’re ready to camp.
