FAQ
Will this tent fit my roof rack?
The Rhino Rack Soft Shell Roof Top Tent is compatible with the Rhino Rack Reconn-Deck, Reconn Platform, Vortex, and Pioneer Platform systems. It is not compatible with the Pioneer Tradie (6-series). The mounting brackets accommodate M6 or M8 hardware. For non-Rhino-Rack systems, refer to the Rhino Rack website for accessory mounting channel nuts that may suit your setup. Always verify your vehicle’s roof load rating before installation.
How long does setup take?
After the initial installation is completed, the tent can be installed or removed in approximately 5 minutes thanks to Rhino Rack’s innovative quick-release mounting system. The first-time setup will take longer as you familiarize yourself with the hardware and positioning, but subsequent uses are fast and straightforward.
Does the tent come with a mattress?
Yes, a 40mm foam mattress is built into the tent and included with your purchase. No separate sleeping pad is required, though Rhino Rack also offers an optional Air Mattress (61030), Anti-Condensation Mat (61031), and Foam Topper (61032) for added comfort if desired.
Is this tent waterproof?
Yes, the tent has been tested for rain penetration. Both the fly and tent body are made from rip-stop polyoxford fabric with a PU coating, which provides a strong barrier against moisture. The awning over the front door and rear window also allows you to maintain ventilation even in wet conditions without letting rain in.
What is the weight limit or load rating for the tent?
The tent itself weighs 45kg (99lbs). Rhino Rack recommends ensuring your vehicle’s roof has a dynamic load rating higher than the combined weight of the tent and any other mounted accessories, as well as a static load limit sufficient to support the tent while in use. Check your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and your roof rack’s rated capacity before installation.
Can one person install and remove the tent alone?
The mounting system is designed for quick and simple operation, and many users are able to manage the process solo after the initial setup. However, given the tent’s weight of 45kg (99lbs), having a second person assist – especially during the first installation – is strongly recommended for safety and ease.
