Roof Rack & Vehicle Requirements

ROOF RACK & VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

Roof Rack Requirements: 3-Bar Roof Rack System OR Roof Platform with a minimum of 6 Mounting Points to your vehicles roof.

The spacing between the front & rear roof rack (or for roof platforms, the front & rear mounting points) should be no less than 900mm.

Vehicle Requirements: Both your vehicle & roof rack system require a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg.

The Hawk's Nest range of rooftop tents is well suited to larger SUV's, 4x4's and vans.

A quick note for most Double Cab Utes: A load capable canopy with suitable canopy mounted roof racks (or platform) is generally required. The tent cannot be mounted both to the utes cab and canopy/tray at the same time, due to their individual flex on the chassis. The ute cab itself also usually does not offer enough mounting length.

Good news! If you require suitable roof racks, we stock and install most leading brands. For all roof rack and vehicle questions, feel free to get in touch with us here.
