Can you mount a roof top tent on a Nissan Rogue?
In most cases, yes, you can mount a roof top tent on a Nissan Rogue.
BUT, you need to check your owner's manual to ensure that the weight capacity of the roof and the factory rack can handle the weight of the tent you're interested in. We stuck with light tents here to try to accommodate almost every Nissan Rogue.
In addition to checking weight, you will need crossbars (the ones that run from one side of the car to the other). If your Nissan Rogue didn't come standard with crossbars, you'll want to buy an aftermarket pair that can also handle the weight.
Aftermarket crossbars start around $300 and full fledged roof racks go up to about $1500.
We're happy to help if you have questions on this.
Nissan Rogue Roof Top Tents FAQ
Can you put a roof top tent on Nissan Rogue?
In most cases, yes, you can put a roof top tent on a Nissan Rogue. But to install a roof top tent on your Nissan Rogue, you will 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. Check your owner's manual to see if your factory rack can handle the weight, and make sure to keep the weight of the tent less than the dynamic weight capacity of the weakest part of your rack system.
Do these roof top tents come with mattresses, or do I need to buy one separately?
Each of the Nissan Rogue 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 Nissan Rogue, then usually 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 and whatever you're attaching them to (roof or side rails) is greater than the weight of the tent you're interested in.
How much weight can a Nissan Rogue roof hold?
To determine how much weight your Nissan Rogue can hold, it's important to check your owner's manual. Don't believe what your read online as even Nissan Rogues from the same year can vary. The manual will likely give you a dynamic weight capacity. As long as the tent is lighter than the dynamic weight capacity, you'll be good to go.
Does a warranty cover these roof top tent?
Yes, each roof top tent on our list is backed by a manufacturer's warranty.
