Modern roof top tents<\/strong> <\/a>like the styles found in the Adventure Kings roof top tent range<\/strong><\/a> have revolutionized the way many people camp. By allowing speedy setups, comfortable usable space, and just as speedy pack ups.<\/p>\n

Roof top tents<\/strong><\/a> can be mounted in many ways to a variety of vehicles. The main method of attaching a roof top tent is via a strong stable and sturdy set of roof racks<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some people choose to fasten their roof top tent<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to Utes, in over tray setups, and some even attach their tent to the tops of a trailers, however you will need to factor in more than just a place to fasten the roof top tent<\/strong><\/a> mounting bolts.<\/p>\n

A Kings roof top tent<\/strong> rack<\/strong><\/a> allows the whole base of the roof top tent<\/strong><\/a> to stay supported. This benefits you for several reasons, firstly at highway speeds, many custom or homemade mounts don\u2019t have the same mounting strength.<\/p>\n

By fitting an Adventure Kings Steel Roof Top Tent Rack<\/strong>,<\/a> you can rest assured that the 6 included heavy duty mounting brackets will retain the whole steel roof rack<\/a><\/strong> and rooftop tent<\/strong><\/a>, and ensure it is all solidly fastened to the roof of your vehicle.<\/p>\n

The steel roof top tent racks <\/strong><\/a>are over engineered out of steel and include a grid mesh base to support the whole base of the roof top tent. The Kings Steel roof top tent racks<\/strong><\/a> also utilise a small section of side rail that wraps around the front perimeter of the rack, this allows a small amount of cargo to still be carried on the roof top tent rack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adventure Kings steel roof top tent racks<\/a><\/strong> tested to carry over 500KG when mounted according to recommendations and are coated with a black powder coating for ultimate rust resistance. So even when you don\u2019t have your tent mounted you have plenty of additional cargo capacity. The steel mesh is ideal as a tie down point, but there are also additional tie down points located on the perimeter tube.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A steel roof top tent rack <\/strong><\/a>is also perfect for mounting camping and driving accessories like LED lightbars<\/a>,<\/strong> and LED work lights<\/strong><\/a>, as well as being the perfect mounting location to locate your Adventure Kings camping awning<\/a>. <\/strong>As with any of the steel roof racks<\/strong> <\/a>in the Adventure Kings range<\/a>,<\/strong> it becomes a solid foundation for your whole campsite and allows you to get your campsite setup ON TOP!<\/p>\n

\nIf your vehicle isn\u2019t listed, you aren\u2019t out of luck yet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a little ingenuity and some cheap fasteners, you can easily fasten an Adventure Kings roof top tent rack<\/strong><\/a> to a vehicle that is not listed, and that does not have rain channels around the perimeter or specific mounts made for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To fasten a Roof top tent rack<\/strong><\/a> to an unlisted vehicle, you will need somewhere to mount it too. If your vehicle comes standard with front to rear sports rails you have an easy advantage over vehicles that do not, with some simple rated U-bolts. You can fasten the rails running the length of your vehicle to the sports rails in accordance with local state regulations.<\/p>\n

To fasten a roof rack using U bolts you will need to check your vehicles roof rail load carrying capacity, to make sure you do not exceed manufacturer recommendations. This will also allow you to gain the full functionality of a steel<\/strong> <\/a>roof top tent rack.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>If you are unlucky enough to not have a vehicle that is not listed, and you don\u2019t have factory sports rails, you can also mount a Kings steel roof rack<\/strong> <\/a>using the same U-bolt system and some standard roof rack cross bars, unfortunately this is a more expensive option but it is still very effective at mounting your steel roof top tent rack.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Without needing to make any serious or expensive modifications to your vehicle you can fit up a Roof top tent rack<\/strong><\/a> and add a roof top tent<\/strong><\/a> to turn any vehicle into a comfortable and handy camper setup capable of long trips away!<\/p>\n
