Feldon Hawk's Nest V2 Rooftop Tent Roof Rack & Vehicle Requirements
- Roof Rack Requirements: 3-Bar Roof Rack System OR Roof Platform with a minimum of 6 Mounting Points to your vehicle roof. The spacing between the front & rear roof rack (or for roof platforms, the front & rear mounting points) should be no less than 900mm.
- Vehicle Requirements: Both your vehicle & roof rack system require a minimum dynamic load rating of 100kg or more. The Hawk's Nest range of rooftop tents is well suited to larger SUV's, 4x4's and vans.
- A quick note for most Double Cab Utes: A load-capable canopy with suitable canopy-mounted roof racks (or platform) is generally required. The tent cannot be mounted both to the utes cab and canopy/tray at the same time due to their flex on the chassis. The ute cab itself also usually does not offer enough mounting length.
