The Smittybilt Overlander Tents are designed to mount easily on most roof rack systems or on an
aftermarket rack/crossbar system. Generally, most OE roof racks will have a capacity of 150-200 lbs while
vehicle is in motion(dynamic rating). However, when the vehicle is parked and you are utilizing your Smittybilt
Overlander Tent you are applying a static load which is easier to support and most rack systems can generally
handle this static load with ease.
Always check with the manufacturer of your vehicle and your roof rack
system to determine the applicable weight limitations as they vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Not all factory
roof racks or aftermarket racks can adequately and safely accommodate a roof top tent. Rack not only has to
have the proper weight capacity for downward loads, but it must properly support upward and shock loads.
If you need a roof rack system or more carrying capacity you may check with your local supplier for
Smittybilt, Thule, Yakima, or a variety of aftermarket racks to suit your needs.
Check local and state laws regarding roof mounted load capacities. Many states have a limit of 165lbs
while vehicle is in motion, and therefore most vehicle manufactures will built their roof racks to meet that
limit.
Tent must be supported by a minimum of 3 cross bars to evenly distribute the load.
Tent will clamp to the front and rear crossbar to hold position. The center cross bar must
support the load in the center of the tent, no clamps needed.
