Best Roof Top Tents That Make Camping a Breeze
Rooftop tents (sometimes just RTT) are more popular than ever, due to their convenience and an abundance of overlanders and adventure seeking campers. Securely attached to a rack that is positioned on the roof of a truck or car, these tents can be deployed instantly. All you have to do is simply unfold them and lower a ladder to gain access to the tent !
You have to make sure the roof rack you have already (or the one you’re going to purchase) is going to mesh well with the tent. Each tent has a unique way of attaching itself to the car, so double checking before you buy is imperative. You also might need to purchase tools to connect it.
Here are a few most popular rooftop tents that would fit any SUV, and most sedans :

The Skyrise Rooftop Tent attaches to most factory and aftermarket crossbars, provided your vehicle's rack and chassis can support the additional static weight sitting on top.

Smittybuilt is known for producing an entire line of off-roading products, so it was only natural for them to jump into the RTT game. Smittybuilt's Overlander is made to sleep two and weighs only 118 pounds which makes it ideal for cars and racks with lower weight capacities. You can find this tent online for around $850.
