Is it possible to put this tent on my car?
Yes, the Overland Junction Golden is compatible with the vast majority of cars and trucks.
What do I need to get this roof top tent installed on my car/truck?
To mount the Overland Junction Golden on your vehicle, you'll need crossbars or a roof rack or bed rack that has crossbars. Crossbars are the ones that run from one side of the car to the other.
Will this tent work on my factory roof rack?
Because the Overland Junction Golden is only 154 pounds (light for a high quality hard shell tent), it works on many factory roof racks. You need crossbars (the ones that run from one side of the car to the other) not just side rails (the ones that run from front to back). And the dynamic weight capacity of your roof rack needs to be able to handle the weight of the tent.
My roof rack weight capacity is only 165 pounds and I weigh more than that - can I not have a roof top tent?
You can almost certainly still use a tent! You're confusing dynamic and static weight capacity. 165 pounds is a very common dynamic weight capacity. 150-200 is where almost all factory roof racks fall. But that's the weight capacity when you're driving down the highway at 80 mph and the wind is trying to rip the tent off the car. The static weight capacity is the one you need to worry about when you're actually in the tent - when the car is not moving. That weight capacity is almost always a non-concern because it's several times higher than the dynamic weight capacity. Be sure to consult your owner's manual to confirm weight capacities.
When it comes to set up and takedown, how long does it take?
You can set the tent up by yourself in under a minute. Take down is about 90 seconds, but you can get that down once you get the hang of it.
How safe are rooftop tents?
Roof top tents are far safer than ground tents, because they are elevated off the ground, away from animals and other critters, and they are larger and more heavy duty than typical ground tents.
Do you leave your roof top tent on all the time?
Lots of customers put the tent on their vehicle one time, and never take it off. The heavy duty shell keeps the tent safe from the elements. However, some customers choose to remove the tent if they know they will not be using it for an extended period of time.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes! It comes with a 2-year warranty.
How much weight can a roof top tent take?
The weight capacity of the Overland Junction Golden Roof Top Tent is 660 pounds.
