Roof load limit: Vehicle roofs all have a dynamic roof load limit. You need to know what this is before putting any significant weight on your car roof.

Despite its low weight, we recommend that the lifting part of the installation process is carried out by at least two people or by using a hoist. Once the roof tent is correctly positioned on the vehicles roof bars the installation process is a matter of correctly installing and tightening a handful of bolts. No tools are required. How do I install the roof tent?

You'll ultimately have a better experience, which counts for a lot. Plus, if you decide to sell it down the line, you'll get a reasonable second-hand price for it.
