With the exception of a convertible (and I am sure someone has done it) almost all cars, trucks, vans and side x sides can accept a roof top tent. Our current models are designed to fit sub-compact, crossovers full size trucks and SUVs as well as trailers.

To pick a model which is correct for your vehicle in both size and weight please refer to your vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to determine the dynamic capacity the vehicle can support while driving down the road. Most vehicles like a full size SUV can top out at about 165 lbs. Warning: Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommended limits. Doing so can result in damage to the vehicle, increase the chance of a rollover or poor handling. However, when the vehicle is stopped, the static capacity of the roof increases up to 4 times the amount of the dynamic load.

Fold out tents such as the Side-Kick series transfers part of the static weight on to the ladder which folds down and the Navigator series, which pops straight up, does not transfer any of the weight of the tent off the roof while set up.

It is recommended you check the vehicle’s dynamic capacity as well as the cross bars the tent will mount to. Most factory installed cross bars are not sturdy enough to support the dynamic capacity of roof top tents. When purchasing an aftermarket rack for a vehicle it is recommended to determine the weight capacity of the cross bars and/or rails. Most of the major sellers of cross bars have vehicle fitting guides which will recommend the proper cross bars and feet for your specific roof or truck bed.

For the Global Road tents we recommend the following:

Side-Kick I – Crossovers, Medium to Large SUVs and Trucks

Side-Kick II – Medium to large SUVs and Trucks, Trailers

Navigator I – Medium to large SUVs and Trucks, Trailers

Navigator II – Crossovers, Medium to Large SUVs and Trucks, Trailers

Navigator III – Crossovers, Medium to Large SUVs and Trucks, Trailers

It is not recommended to install a roof top tent on a factory installed roof rack as these are typically not made to support the static weight of the tent and campers. There are good, aftermarket racks and towers readily available for most vehicle makes and models. There are also quite a few websites which will allow you to input your vehicles make and model to give you a choice of what will work on your specific vehicle.

A rooftop tent does not require any special care. Below are several recommendations to ensure a life time of enjoyment from your Global Road tent.
It is recommended not the put the tent down and store it while it is damp. If there is not choice but to put the tent away when wet, it will need to be deployed again as soon as possible to let it dry out and prevent any mold or mildew from occurring. Cleaning can be done on the tops and bottoms at any carwash and for the side materials a simple solution of soap and water should clean the materials. It is recommended to re-apply a water-proof sealant over the soft material sections of the tents at least once a year, depending on the level of use.

During extensive periods of storage the tent might develop an odor. To get rid of this simply let the tent air out.

Care must also be taken is to check to make sure your tent is secure to your roof rack and your crossbars are secured to the towers.

Glossy White, Black and an Iridium Gray color for the hard shells.
The fabric material parts are tan and gray or all gray.

Yes. Occasionally we do have sample tents and accessories available for sale. Please check the website. Some of these items are like new and some will be slightly used.

Yes we do have several rental tents which must be picked up and returned to our facility in Arkansas. We do not supply crossbars, towers or racks. We will assist in securing the tent to your vehicle.
