Frequently asked questions.
WILL MY ROOF RACK WORK WITH A LATITUDE ROOF TENT?
Latitude rooftop tents are designed to fit on most vehicles with roof racks. The general rule of thumb is to make sure that your roof bar system has a dynamic weight capacity of at least the weight of the tent. This is the weight that the rack can physically carry while the vehicle is in motion. When the tent is in use the weight of the tent plus the weight of its occupants is effectively dispersed over the entire frame of the vehicle, as well as the tent hinge and ladder, also known as the static weight capacity.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A ROOF TOP TENT?
Fast and easy to set-up. Better wind and rain protection than a conventional tent. You are off the ground and away from any animals and insects. Better views and ventilation than camping on the ground. Your tent will not collect as much dirt as a conventional ground tent. You don't need a flat spot to set up your tent. Rocks and mud are no longer a problem. No extra cost for an air mattress, this tent comes with a high-density foam mattress. Less expensive than a caravan, trailer, or motorhome and it takes up less space. You can leave your Latitude roof top tent on all year long so you will always have a campsite wherever and whenever you need one. Extra shade and/or privacy area with the annex and awning.
We're sure you'll find even more added benefits of a root top tent whilst out exploring with one too!

HOW DOES A ROOF TENT FAIR IN HIGH WINDS?
Our roof tents can deal with high winds thanks to multiple features. The large windows and entrances allow for air to pass straight through, plus the curved roof design helps direct air around the tent. Supplied guy lines keep the tent tied down at one end, whilst at the other, the vehicle is used as the anchor point.
