About this deal
However, OEX accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from modifications used to fit roof bars outside of the maximum and minimum bar depth. Bumps and vibrations from driving the car, especially when off-roading to your camping spot, can cause the nuts to loosen. Access: Roof tents come supplied with a telescopic ladder that allow you to easily and safely access the tent.
The Locking Washer should prevent loosening, but varying road conditions cannot be accounted for, and bolts can and do occasionally loosen – it is best to play it safe. Thule, the number one roof bar system manufacturer, cautions against using its clamp or edge style and roof racks for its roof tents because of the high static load. It’s also important to consider the firmness of the ground you’re parking on, and whether the ground is level and dry.
Exceeding the weight limit can lead to damage to the vehicle or the roof rack itself and can also pose a safety hazard.
Designed by experts to handle the toughest conditions in the UK, OEX offers both novice and experienced outdoors adventurers' equipment they can rely on, without having to spend a fortune.Trail and Country Walking magazine members get 50% off an annual subscription to OS Maps for 12 months. Each roof tent in this list has a solid, flat floor, and most come with a built-in mattress, though you may still want to add a sleeping mat.

Once the Vertex is placed and aligned correctly on your vehicle and the two supporting rails of the Vertex are at 90 degrees to the roof bars, you’re ready to secure them together using the four U-shape brackets.
