Auto Tent:

The roof Tent, also known as the "home" on the roof of the car, have a history of five and sixty years with the development of the automobile manufacturing industry. With the increase of car ownership in China, self driving tourism is gradually warming up, and the roof tent is one of the optional equipment for outdoor self driving tour.

The emergence of roof tents has made a more practical and fashionable way of traveling for travelers who can't afford RV and don't want to sleep on the cold rough terrain. Let our car go on the top of the tent, and you will find the way to your own, and you will know how to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Other models must first install roof bearing luggage rack according to vehicle conditions before adding roof tents. The weight of the general roof tent is about 60KG, the weight of a family of three is about 150-240KG, while the load of most cars is calculated by ton, so as long as the quality of the luggage rack is strong enough, the bearing capacity of the roof is no problem. It is suggested that the separation type longitudinal bar or cross bar should be installed, most of which can reach the dynamic load of more than 75KG. The distance from the roof should be up to about 4cm. As long as these conditions, in addition to A0 level sedan models, most of the above models are available through (own or installation) bearing a luggage rack, to install roof tent.
