Q: Can my roof rack carry the weight of a tent with people in it?
A: There are two different weight ratings when it comes to your roof rack. The first is the "dynamic" weight limit. This is what your roof rack can carry while you're driving around. For most cars (this does NOT include clip on/door jam racks) this weight limit is around 165 lbs, just enough to carry a tent. These same racks typically hold upwards of 500 lbs of static weight. So it's fine for you to get up into your tent while the vehicle is parked.
Q: How many people can this tent actually sleep?
A: Same as ground tents, the occupancy number of a tent is typically high by one. A three person rooftop tent is just slightly larger in width than a double/standard mattress. While it's fully possible to fit three people into one you're going to have a much easier time getting some sleep with only two. Same goes for a 4-person tent: it's best with a maximum of three people.
Q: How easy is this tent to set up and take down?
A: Simply put: dead simple. Setting up this rooftop tent is so easy you can do it alone in the dark in minutes.
