Yes. When looking to purchase a roof top tent, it’s important to also factor in the cost of a durable roof rack. It's necessary to install a heavy-duty roof rack on your car. Many dedicated campers will permanently mount a custom roof rack to their vehicle, but it can be as simple as securing aftermarket crossbars to factory roof rails. Just make sure the roof rack’s weight limit exceeds the actual weight of the tent plus whomever will be sleeping in it.
