Not totally sure what this new box is from Yakima? Is it a cooler? Is it a satellite that fell from space? Even better, the Yakima EXO OpenRange.

Whether you’re new to the great outdoors or are a seasoned camper looking to upgrade your tent or swag setup, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when choosing the perfect roof top tent.

Here at DARCHE, we’ve got an impressive lineup of rooftop tents to suit all preferences, needs and experience levels. And with this handy guide, we’ll help you decide which ones right for you - Let’s get into it.

Confirming your car’s weight capacity

Whether you’re buying a hard shell or soft shell rooftop tent, the first step is to check your vehicle’s manual and establish the dynamic (moving) and static (stationary) weight limits. Your car should also have a solid roof rack or roof bars capable of supporting the tent's weight plus the weight of the occupants.

Our car rooftop tents weigh between 48 and 110 kgs so make sure you account for this, along with any other gear, in your overall weight limit.

If you’re unsure about your vehicle’s roof load capacity, give your vehicle manufacturer or dealer a quick call for advice.
