This will be important for the stability of the ladder – setting up on overly soft ground will ultimately affect the level of support of your roof tent. 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. Internal space: Roof tents tend to have about the same bedroom space as a two-person hiking tent, give or take a few centimetres. You're not going to want a roof tent permanently affixed to your roof, so bear in mind you'll want a helping hand getting these things on and off your car. Designed to attach securely to the top of your vehicle, this comfortable off-ground sleeping area can be set up in seconds making overnight camping missions a breeze!

Other considerations: Roof tents should not be used on glass roofed (panoramic) cars but sunroofs are okay.Once all four U bracket points (8 screw nuts) are secured to the vehicle’s roof bars, repeat the tightening of each bracket as the tightening process of one side can sometimes loosen the adjacent side.

Not only do we take notes on the ease of pitching and obvious features, we also spend a long time examining how the materials stack up against varied conditions, as well as the overall liveability of each roof tent. It’s also important to consider the firmness of the ground you’re parking on, and whether the ground is level and dry. 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.
