The actual installation process of attaching a rooftop tent to your car will take a bit of time and muscle. Many of these units are really heavy, so you’ll need an assistant or two to help safely get the tent up on top of your vehicle. This process usually takes an hour or two. The good thing about that is, once it’s done, it’s done. You can leave the tent attached to your roof for the whole of camping season and not have to worry about installation until next year. Once that part’s done, the actual setup and takedown of the tent is a breeze. This is one of the huge benefits of rooftop tents, and some models like the iKamper rooftop tents can set up in as little as 60 seconds.
