Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ of RTT
RTT / Can a Crafuel rooftop tent be installed on my vehicle?
Because of the variety of frames and models available, we're unable to provide a definite answer regarding the compatibility of our RTTs with your particular vehicle. For the Giants and SummitBreeze RTTs, it's crucial that your roof and frame's dynamic load capacity is greater than 120 lbs (55 kg). You can locate your vehicle's Dynamic Roof Load Rating in the owner's manual or by reaching out to the manufacturer.
RTT / Can the tents be mounted on a pickup truck bed?
Yes, they can. You will need a bed rack or cross bars to mount the tent. Please check out the tents’ dimensions and mounting instructions.
RTT / How much weight can the rooftop tents hold?
The Giants RTT can hold about 750 lbs (340 kg), and the SummitBreeze RTT can hold about 662 lbs (300 kg).
RTT / How can 4 people sleep in the tent if my crossbars' weight limit is only 165 lbs?
Typically, crossbars and roof racks specify their dynamic weight load, indicating the weight they can support while the vehicle is in motion. For instance, if your crossbars have a dynamic weight load of 165 lbs, it's advisable not to exceed this weight limit while driving. However, the static weight load, which is the weight limit when the vehicle is parked, is often much higher than the dynamic weight load.
RTT / How easy to mount and unmount the tents?
It's incredibly simple! You don't even need a single bolt wrench, you can effortlessly mount and dismount them whenever needed. Mounting and unmounting Crafuel rooftop tents typically require 2-3 people. The first time might take less than 30 minutes, but once you're familiar with the process, it can be done in under 10 minutes.
RTT / What kind of rack/crossbars do I need?
Crafuel roof tents use a universal mounting system that allows them to be mounted on most racks and crossbars on the market. They are designed to be mounted on two crossbars (rather than directly to the roof) such as Thule, Yakima or any other brand of crossbars or roof/bed racks.
