    Take Quiz



    Can you mount a roof top tent on a Kia Soul?

    Yes, you can mount a roof top tent on any Kia Soul - it's strong enough to support the weight of a tent and the people in it.

    However, since not all come with a stock rack, you will need to buy crossbars or a roof rack to install the roof top tent. On average, Kia Soul cross bars that can handle a tent start around $400 and full fledged roof racks go up to about $1500.

    We're happy to help if you have questions on this.



    Kia Soul Roof Top Tents FAQ

    Can I put a rooftop tent on a Kia Soul?
    Yes, you can put a rooftop tent on a Kia Soul. But to install a roof top tent on your Kia Soul, you'll need a roof rack with crossbars, or standalone crossbars, that can handle the weight of the tent. Crossbars are the ones that go from one side of the car to the other.

    Do these roof top tents come with mattresses, or do I need to buy one separately?
    Each of the Kia Soul roof top tents seen above includes a comfortable mattress. If you're used to camping in a ground tent, you'll notice a considerable improvement in comfort.

    How long does it take to set these tents up?
    These roof top tents can be set up and taken down in 1-5 minutes. Hard shell tents are much faster - right around 1 minute usually. Soft shell tents are a bit slower - closer to 5 minutes.

    Can my car handle a roof top tent?
    If you have a Kia Soul, then yes, your car can handle a roof top tent. But you will need a roof rack or crossbars that can handle a tent too. Make sure that the dynamic weight capacity of the crossbars is greater than the weight of the tent you're interested in. 

    Are roof top tents safe for cars?
    Yes, roof top tents are safe for cars - as long as you have the right roof rack and have them installed properly. The rack makes sure the tent stays on the car even when you're driving down the highway. And it is what helps distribute the weight of the tent and the people in it when you're camping.  

    Does a warranty cover these roof top tent?
    Yes, each roof top tent on our list is backed by a manufacturer's warranty.
