Yes! Our rooftop tents are inflatable and waterproof, which has many benefits, including it's ability to float. We don't recommend using it on a multi-day river adventure, but it does float, and we love taking ours on the lake during a hot day.

You can watch this video from our Austrian roots. Forward the video to time stamp 3:00 min to see the GT SKY LOFT being used on the water.

We rigorously test our products to make sure you are prepared for all weather.

Our tents can not only withstand strong winds over 75 mph, but are actually quieter than most metal framed rooftop tents, which can make stormy nights a lot more restful.

Yes! Our rooftop tents fit on 99% of vehicles with a standard roof rack. Our tents are light, and easy to install.

You will want to look at the packed dimensions of the tent to just ensure the tent is not too wide for your vehicle while you are driving.

When setting up the tent, it may overhang off the side of your vehicle to give you more space inside, but the support of the inflated floor and the ladder insure it stays secure.

It is important to also look at the weight limits of your roof rack. Most roof racks will support our tents, but it important to check.

Note that the posted weight limit on your roof rack is usually the dynamic load limit (maximum load while driving). You will want to research your roof rack's static load limit (applicable to a rooftop tent), which is typically much higher than your dynamic load limit. Sometimes 8-10x higher than the dynamic load limit.

They mount directly on to your roof rack. There are no custom frames needed. It is a simple easy to attach adapter.

It is important to look at your roof rack maximum load ratings. Note that this load rating is usually a dynamic load rating, which is rated for when the vehicle is driving and in motion. Your roof rack will also have a static load rating, which is typically much higher, often 8-10x higher weight rating.
