OVS Sherpa Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it possible to put this tent on my car?
Yes! The OVS XD Sherpa is compatible with most cars, trucks, and SUVs, provided you have the proper roof rack or crossbars to support the tent’s weight.
What do I need to get this roof top tent installed on my car/truck?
To install the Sherpa on your vehicle, you’ll need a roof rack or bed rack with crossbars that can handle the tent’s weight. With the right setup, mounting is straightforward.
How long does setup and takedown take?
With gas assist struts and a nylon pull strap, you can set up and take down the Sherpa in under 2 minutes — all by yourself, without hassle.
Are hard-shell roof top tents worth it?
While the Sherpa is a soft-shell tent, it's designed for quick deployment and strong protection. For those who prefer the speed of setup and superior protection from the elements, soft-shell tents like the Sherpa offer a great balance of convenience and durability. Hard-shell tents have their advantages, but if you want portability and ease, the Sherpa is a solid choice.
Are rooftop tents warm in winter?
Yes! The Sherpa, like most roof top tents, offers better insulation than traditional ground tents, especially in cold weather. The thick ripstop fabric, combined with a mattress and a solid base, ensures you stay comfortable no matter the temperature.
Do rooftop tents damage the roof?
No, as long as the tent is properly installed. The Sherpa attaches securely to the roof rack crossbars, not the roof itself, preventing any damage to your vehicle.
How much MPG do you lose from a roof top tent?
If mounted on your vehicle’s roof, you might lose around 1-2 MPG depending on driving conditions. However, soft-shell tents like the Sherpa are more aerodynamic than their hard-shell counterparts, so the fuel efficiency drop is typically less noticeable, especially on dirt roads.
Is it safe to sleep in a rooftop tent?
Absolutely! Roof top tents like the Sherpa are elevated off the ground, keeping you away from wildlife and other ground-level hazards. They’re also built with heavy-duty materials for extra safety and durability.
How long do rooftop tents last?
The OVS XD Sherpa is designed for longevity. With a 6-year warranty on the fabric and durable construction, it’s built to withstand all your adventures, season after season.
Do you leave your rooftop tent on all the time?
Many users keep their Sherpa mounted year-round, as its weather-resistant design ensures it stays protected from the elements. However, if you’re not using it for an extended period, you may choose to remove it for storage.
Does it come with a warranty?
Is it a good idea to have a rooftop tent?
We may be biased, but heck yeah! They are hands down the best way to explore the great outdoors. You never have to worry about lodging: you have a comfortable, safe (even luxurious in the case of the XD Sherpa) home traveling with you wherever you go. It's convenient to set up and fun for the whole family. But don't just take our word for it. Read below for the tent review section.
