Installation

In order to install your RoofBunk, you'll first need roof bars or a roof rack to attach it to. We recommend using Halfords to find them.

If you type the reg number plate of your vehicle, it should bring up a number of options for you to decide between!

Make sure the roof bars are rated to hold at least 65kg for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer and are ideally through bars in design too, as these allow more overhang on the sides and the RoofBunks sit more flush on them.

Once you've got your roof bars or roof rack sorted, please feel free to follow our installation guide video to help you get it installed and ready to go!: How To Install Your RoofBunk Roamer Hard Shell Roof Tent and How To Install Your RoofBunk Explorer Soft Shell Roof Tent

You'll also need to check your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity is over 65kg for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer (even though the vast majority of vehicles are), which can be found in your vehicle’s user manual or after searching for the information online. We recommend checking this Online Vehicle User Manual Directory

If all this sounds daunting, then please email over your vehicle's reg plate and we'll do the research for you!

All RoofBunks should be able to fit any vehicle as long as you're able to keep the roof bars 70cm-120cm apart for the Roamer and 50cm-120cm for the Explorer, as this will sufficiently spread the load weight evenly.

We suggest getting roof bars that are rated to hold at least 65kg of weight for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer and are ideally through bars in design too, as these allow more overhang on the sides and the RoofBunks sit more flush on them.

You'll also need to check your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity is over 65kg for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer (even though the vast majority of vehicles are), which can be found in your vehicle’s user manual or after searching for the information online. We recommend checking this Online Vehicle User Manual Directory

If all this sounds daunting, then please email over your vehicle's reg plate and we'll do the research for you!

The fitting brackets that come with your RoofBunk should be able to fit roof bars and roof racks with bars as thick/tall as 5cm and as wide as 12cm for the Roamer and 10cm for the Explorer, so any roof bars under this under this should work great!

In the rare circumstances that your bars are thicker/taller than 5cm, then we'll be happy to recommend some inexpensive 8cm M8 screws to you, so you can install it.

Plus, if you need wider brackets for the Explorer, then you could order the Roamer brackets separately on our shop, as both are compatible with each other!

You'll also need to make sure your roof bars/roof rack is rated to hold at least 65kg of weight for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer. The reason this may be a lower number than you might expect is because the manufacturers list the dynamic holding weight limit (moving), rather than the static holding weight limit (stationary/still), which affects how much weight they can hold. To give you a rough idea, the static holding weight limits for most of them are around 5-8 times what the dynamic holding weight limits are (depending on the speed, wind and other forces acting on the roof tent when it's moving). So in this case, roof bars with a weight limit of 65kg should be able to hold at least 350kg worth of weight!

We suggest getting roof bars that are ideally through bars in design too, as these allow more overhang on the sides and the RoofBunks sit more flush on them.

If you're struggling to know where to start finding your roof bars or a roof rack, we recommend using Halfords and entering your reg number plate to help you find the right ones for your particular vehicle.

You'll also need to check your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity is over 65kg for the Roamer and 50kg for the Explorer (even though the vast majority of vehicles are), which can be found in your vehicle’s user manual or after searching for the information online. We recommend checking this Online Vehicle User Manual Directory

If all this sounds daunting, then please email over your vehicle's reg plate and we'll do the research for you!

Yes, this should be a high enough capacity to hold your RoofBunk with you inside. The reason this may be a lower number than you might expect is because the manufacturers list the dynamic holding weight limit (moving), rather than the static holding weight limit (stationary/still), which affects how much weight they can hold. To give you a rough idea, the static holding weight limits for most of them are around 5-8 times what the dynamic holding weight limits are (depending on the speed, wind and other forces acting on the roof tent when it's moving). So in this case, roof bars with a weight limit of 65kg should be able to hold at least 350kg worth of weight!

In the very rare circumstances that you have roof bars or a roof rack that is so low lying that you can’t get underneath the bars to install your RoofBunk, you can install it onto your roof bars/rack on the ground and off your vehicle, then attach your roof bars/rack onto your vehicle after you already have the RoofBunk attached onto them.

Yes, you can keep your bedding inside if you make sure to fold your duvet before closing.

You may also be able to keep your pillows in too, depending on the thickness ect.

Your RoofBunk Roamer has our high quality 280gsm poly-cotton blend ripstop canvas material on it’s walls, making it completely weatherproof.

The unique blend of polyurethane we apply to it gives it a waterproof rating of 3000mm. This makes it 3 times as waterproof as a regular ground tent and able to handle even the worst rain storms with no problem!

The material has been treated with agents to make it UV and mould resistant, so it should be protected from being faded by the sun too.

We've also made sure the material used on our tent is breathable to prevent condensation and dampness as much as possible.

Our shell structure is a special mixture of ABS material reinforced with a fibreglass coating.

RoofBunk Explorer:

The RoofBunk Explorer has our high quality 280gsm poly-cotton blend ripstop canvas material on the body of the tent and 600D Oxford polyester on the rainfly, making it completely weatherproof.

You can find all these extra/replacement parts in our store!

Yes, the unique blend of polyurethane we apply to all your RoofBunk’s high quality 280gsm material gives them a waterproof rating of 3000mm. This makes them 3 times as waterproof as a regular ground tent and are able to handle even the worst rain storms with no problem.

The Explorer also has a rainfly, which can handle even more water at 5000mm, but all models should comfortably handle anything you throw at them!

Both also have high quality waterproof zips that we’ve used to prevent leaks and should last for years without breaking and the seams are sealed with waterproof silicone tape.

The maximum weight you can put on top of your RoofBunk Roamer and consistently open/close it is 7kg.

If you are getting close to this limit, please avoid putting any items in the storage cargo net on the roof inside the RoofBunk.

We also recommend for you to fully open the windows and doors when opening/closing it and help it up when opening it by pushing it up gently.

All of these should ensure there's as little stress as possible on the gas struts!

The high quality waterproof zips that we’ve used should also prevent leaks and last for years without breaking and the seams are sealed with waterproof silicone tape.

The combination of our thick canvas material and the structure of your RoofBunk makes it both quieter and warmer in cold and stormy conditions, meaning a better night’s sleep for you whatever the weather!

The material has been treated with agents to make it UV resistant, so it should be protected from being faded by the sun too.

We've also made sure the material used on our tent is breathable to prevent condensation and dampness, so there's no need to worry about waking up to a cold and wet mattress in the morning like you would if the material was poorly ventilated.

Our shell structure is a special mixture of ABS material reinforced with a fibreglass coating.

It’s designed to be strong, but also light enough to make it easier to lift and install on your car roof.

It will keep you warm at night due to the shell leaking less heat than canvas material alternatives and the low aerodynamic design of the shell also means there’s both less noise while driving and will save you money on fuel too!

Your bank may be rejecting the payment because it's quite a large purchase, so they might suspect it's not you buying it.

Our advice would be to call up your bank to confirm that it is you trying to make the payment, so they know it's not fraudulent and then they should hopefully let the transaction go through. You also may have had a security code texted to you, which you'll need to input on your bank in order for it to process!

If this doesn't work, then you could try and pay via PayPal instead if possible because this shouldn't directly involve your bank!

You also have the option of paying via cash or bank transfer if none of these other methods suit you. Please contact us before if you're wanting to pay with one of these methods though and we'll send over our details!
