    Frequently Asked Questions


    How long does it take to set up these tents?
    These roof top tents can be set up and taken down in 1-5 minutes (typically around 1 minute for hard shell tents and around 5 minutes for soft shell tents).

    Is there a warranty on these roof top tents?
    Yes, all of the roof top tents listed above come with a manufacturer's warranty.

    Do these roof top tents come with mattresses, or do I need to purchase them separately?
    Yes, all of the mentioned Honda Element tents include a mattress. If you don't find the mattress comfortable, you can add more padding on top of it. But most are incredibly comfortable and customers not only skip adding anything extra, but they wonder why they ever ground tent camped!

    How much does a rooftop tent reduce gas mileage?
    You may notice a little decrease in MPG (1-3), but it will not be significant. Hard shell tents are on the lower end of that range.

    What vehicles can you put a rooftop tent on?
    You can put a roof top tent on almost any vehicle with a hard-top roof can handle a roof top tent. But depending on the weight capacity of your roof and roof rack or crossbars, you might need to stick with smaller tents. Tents range from 90 pounds up to a few hundred. Almost any car and rack can handle a 90 pound tent. If you want to go bigger, be sure to check the weight capacity of your vehicle roof and roof rack.

    How do I know if my car can handle a roof top tent?
    Check your owner's manual or talk to the manufacturer to get the weight capacity of your factory roof rack. If you have aftermarket parts, check their weight capacity too. As long as the weight of the tent is less than the dynamic weight capacity of your vehicle's system, you'll be good to go.

    What do I need to install this on my vehicle?
    There are 2 ways to install a roof top tent on your Honda Element. The first way is to use aftermarket crossbars like the Thule WingBar Evo. The second way is to use a full roof rack system. That allows you to mount larger and heavier tents, but it also costs more (typically $700 - $1500).
