OEX Vertex Lite Roof Top Tent for 2 People with Integrated Mattress and Telescopic Ladder, Lightweight 2 Man Car Roof Tent with Fold Out Pitching Style

Product Information

To test these roof tents, we hit up a series of (legally approved) wild parking spots across the UK and pitched in a range of weather conditions – from high summer to late autumn. We wouldn't recommend most roof tents for winter camping. Internal space: Roof tents tend to have about the same bedroom space as a two-person hiking tent, give or take a few centimetres. Some models have extra niceties like skylights too. Durability: This is usually what price reflects most. High-quality fabrics are more durable but inevitably cost more. Even if you're a first-timer, it pays to invest in a top-quality roof tent. You'll ultimately have a better experience, which counts for a lot. Plus, if you decide to sell it down the line, you'll get a reasonable second-hand price for it.

Installation: Though roof tents try to be as light as possible, they also have to balance that with durability. Therefore, they tend to weigh between 45 and 70 kilograms. You're not going to want a roof tent permanently affixed to your roof, so bear in mind you'll want a helping hand getting these things on and off your car. Once you’ve ensured your vehicle’s roof bars [1] are secure and parallel, the Vertex Lite should be lifted by two people (or a hoist) and slid on from the side, onto the roof bars. Ensure it sits in line with the centre of your car so not to obstruct the boot (tailgate) when opened. Dynamic load” is the maximum weight that can be carried by the roof bars when the vehicle is driven. The number is purposely low because of the additional forces applied to the vehicle by breaking, cornering and bumps in the road. We recommend that your roof bars and/or roof rails should have a minimum dynamic load of 50Kg. 2.

Spacious for one and snugger for two, the tent has three windows offering a commanding 360-degree view from your Vertex Lite when the door is open. The built-in 3-inch foam mattress offers high levels of comfort after a long day on the hill. Roof load limit: Vehicle roofs all have a dynamic roof load limit. You need to know what this is before putting any significant weight on your car roof. Specifically, the dynamic roof load limit refers to the maximum weight a roof can bear while being driven. When parked, the load limit is several times higher.Introducing a first from OEX, the Vertex Lite roof tent.
