How about a rooftop tent for a road trip?

From my own use point of view, the rooftop tent is very easy to use, easy to open and put away, more convenient to make a bed, the space is large enough and the bed is comfortable enough, but from the perspective of the bed, it can be said that there is no difference from home, and it can definitely give a perfect sleep quality during the trip. After the rooftop tent is folded, there is still some space inside, and you can put bedding and pillows in the tent, which greatly saves storage space in the car. Because you sleep on the roof of the car, you don't have to move the items back and forth in the car, and you can sleep whenever you want.

The roof of the car is some distance from the ground, so you don't have to worry about the damp cold and the invasion of crawlers.

I have been using the hardtop hydraulic roof tent since 10 years ago. The initial purchase was close to 10,000 yuan. The roof tent is the second way I camped after upgrading from a tent.

The roof tent is especially suitable for a family of three in an off-road vehicle. It is possible for a wife to live with children. I live alone in the car.

You can take care of each other and don't feel lonely with a car camping. It is indeed very comfortable to use. There is also an increased sense of security.

But there are drawbacks. The cabinet is heavy. Loading and unloading is not very convenient.

Wind noise is also very high at high speeds. When you don't travel, you can be a burden on your car. After all, it's not something that one or two people can easily disassemble.

Later, the car was changed to a bed car. I sold the roof account at a low price. Now that I think about it.

I still miss the days of wandering around with the roof tent on the top of the car.

First of all, it's legal to install this. Fuel consumption has little effect, and I just drove 8,000 kilometers myself and came back from personal testing. However, it is true that it will be more difficult to lift up and down when sinking.

If you don't close well, there will be noise when driving. The advantages over floor tents are moisture-proof, insect-proof, and better sight. If you are tired of driving, you can find a place with a better view to stop and rest.

But there are many campsites to choose from, but there are no landing tents. The roof box and the roof tent itself are two objects with different functions. One is to simply realize the storage function.

One is to realize the feeling of outdoor life.

It is said that the rooftop tent is heavy, and that is because of the hard top that was bought. I took this problem into account when I bought it at home, so I bought the cheapest one with the Akinoji manual. 6,000 yuan weighs 30 kilograms.

My wife and I can lift up and down, convenient and don't need to find someone, we installed it in the car, and then equipped with an SUV rear mattress in a place where there is no accommodation, and it is still possible to sleep 4 adults and a small child on the roof of the car. It is more convenient than a tent to live safely, there are no small animals to disturb, and it is installed in spring and taken off in winter, and it can't burn much oil, so it should be a half-sized child to run every day.

I don't think it's too necessary to install, it's too expensive. The first time I came into contact with this thing was in Europe, and it looks quite novel, but when I ask the price, it is equivalent to almost 10,000 yuan in soft sister coins. It's too expensive, and I'm reluctant to buy it.

In contrast, I think it's more practical to have a roof box, which is acceptable, and secondly, to put camping equipment in it and find a suitable place to camp, which is more cost-effective than sleeping on the roof of the car.

It's too heavy. When I helped people install it, they found that the roof tent was very heavy, and when the two of them carried it up, they were actually a little difficult. I don't know if all the rooftops are so heavy.

If so, such a heavy thing on top of the head, I'm afraid it would have to be a large SUV, such as a car like the Land Cruiser.

Whether the rooftop tent can be installed depends on the car, and the installation of small cars is not built. I installed it in Akinodi, which is more expensive, and it is very convenient to open and close automatically. An electric hoist was installed on the roof of the garage and hung up when not in use. Compared to ordinary camping tents, the benefits are self-evident.

Install a two-layer luggage frame that can be flipped up, use stairs and two brackets as ground support, and place a tent on top that can be opened automatically, so that some other things can be tied to the roof, and the rooftop tent is easy to use and does not take up space.

Is it illegal to install a rooftop tent on the roof of a car while traveling? What needs to be done?

First, rooftop tents are not illegal. Because there is a clear law that the roof rack of a passenger car can carry cargo, and it cannot exceed 50 cm from the roof. Rooftop tents are generally 30 cm high and do not exceed the limit.

Second, rooftop tents generally weigh more than 50 kilograms. When driving, the weight of a sudden brake can reach hundreds of kilograms. If your car doesn't have screwed roof bars, it may be difficult to support the weight of your rooftop tent.

Dangerous places in poor road conditions. Third, generally the rooftop tents can be loaded with off-road vehicles, the height is more than meters, plus the height of the rooftop tent, will affect the entry into the general urban underground garage. So, if you're installing a rooftop tent, you need to think about practicality.

No, the installation of a rooftop tent changes the shape of the vehicle.

Article 6 If a registered motor vehicle has any of the following circumstances, the owner of the motor vehicle shall apply to the traffic management department of the public security organ that registered the motor vehicle for changing the registration

1) Changing the color of the body of a motor vehicle;

b) replacement of the engine;

3) Replacing the body or frame;

4) Due to quality problems, the manufacturer replaces the whole vehicle.

1. Violations

According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Safety Traffic Law", Article 54 stipulates that passenger cars are not allowed to carry goods except for the external luggage rack and built-in luggage compartment of the body, that is, loaded on the luggage rack of the passenger car, the length and width of the loading cannot exceed the compartment, and the height of the luggage rack cannot exceed 4m from the roof and from the ground.

2. Unsafe

Most private cars only drive and don't walk. It is difficult for the AB pillar to carry the tent, especially if two people sleep on it, which can make the body structure unbearable.

3. High fuel consumption

Generally, the weight of the rooftop tent is 60kg, which also shows that the rooftop tent will increase the fuel consumption of the car.

4. Not practical.

If you don't use the car regularly on road trips or in the field, it won't be very effective; In addition, it is useless to encounter heavy sun, heavy rain, typhoon, and snow days.

In fact, whether it is a rooftop tent or a ground tent, there is only one purpose, and that is to help us sleep outdoors. Let's start with the advantages of rooftop tents. Rooftop tents are divided into soft-shell and hard-shell and are usually installed in the rooftop location.

The weight of a rooftop tent is about 50 kg, so once installed on the roof, it is not so easy to remove.
