Important Note:
The factory gas struts on the Carbon Fiber RTT are rated at 55 lbs each. Depending on the weight of your accessories mounted to the crossbars, you may need to upgrade the gas struts to accommodate the additional load. We provide upgraded gas struts rated at 67 lbs each for heavier setups. If you plan to upgrade, please continue reading the guidelines below to ensure safe and proper use.
As the manufacturer, we strongly recommend not exceeding a total of 67 lbs of weight, as doing so can compromise the struts’ performance, lead to premature wear, or potentially damage the tent mechanism. To ensure safety and longevity, always adhere to these specified weight limits.
We also do not recommend sleeping in the tent with fully loaded crossbars, as gas struts can lose pressure in colder climates. Lower temperatures may cause the gas inside the struts to compress, reducing their lifting capacity and overall effectiveness. To mitigate this, we suggest using a hood strut clamp to securely hold the gas struts in place when needed.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause injury, void your warranty, and result in unnecessary repair costs. For proper use and maintenance, follow the recommendations provided in our installation guide.
Installation Guide:
Please carefully review the installation guide, along with the disclaimers, before beginning the installation of your Carbon Fiber Crossbar Kit. Proper adherence to these instructions is crucial to ensure safe and secure use of the kit. Failure to follow the guidelines may lead to compromised performance, unnecessary wear and tear, or even damage to your rooftop tent and accessories. Additionally, it could void your warranty or result in costly repairs.
