The Hyundai Nexo is the perfect vehicle for you in the city but also for the camping trip at the weekend. If you own the Hyundai Nexo, you no longer need your old ground tent. You also don’t need a heavy camping trailer or an expensive RV to have a great camping weekend.

The Hyundai Nexo offers enough interior space to take your whole family with you. However, the NEXO also offers enough space on the vehicle roof to mount a large rooftop tent.

A rooftop tent has many advantages over a ground ten, but also over a camping trailer or RV. With a rooftop tent, you can also discover campgrounds off the beaten track that you would never get to with a heavy camping trailer or RV. A rooftop tent also offers the advantage of being safe from small and large animals thanks to its elevated position on the vehicle roof. But you are also safe from the cold that comes out of the ground at night, or rain and water that can collect on the ground.

Modern rooftop tents are very comfortable and offer many interior features. Likewise, modern rooftop tents have very thick walls that insulate you very well from the cold and wind.

All you need to mount a rooftop tent on the vehicle roof of the Hyundai Nexo are the appropriate roof crossbars. The crossbars are mounted on the factory roof rails of the Hyundai Nexo. These crossbars then provide a safe and stable basis for mounting a rooftop tent on the vehicle roof.

You can mount a large six-person rooftop tent on the Hyundai Nexo vehicle roof. The additional weight of the rooftop tent and the people in the rooftop tent is optimally transferred to the entire vehicle body via the crossbars and the roof rails. This means that neither the vehicle roof nor the body of the vehicle is damaged.

The registered permitted roof load of the Hyundai Nexo is relatively low, but this always applies to the vehicle in motion. This only applies if you are transporting a roof box or other loads onto the vehicle roof, for example. As soon as the vehicle is stationary, the permissible roof load of the Nexo increases many times over. So you can easily set up a large six-person rooftop tent, and up to six adults can stay or sleep on the roof of the vehicle in the rooftop tent.

Further down on this page, you will also find a small overview of the most popular rooftop tents for the Hyundai Nexo. You also have the option of buying a rooftop tent, which has an awning. So you have a practical extra space that protects you from wind and rain.

When buying a new rooftop tent, you should only make sure that the rooftop tent is not wider than the vehicle when folded.

You can also buy a hard-shell or soft-shell rooftop tent. A hard-shell rooftop tent is easier and quicker to set up than a soft-shell rooftop tent. But a soft-shell rooftop tent usually offers more space and more interior features than a hard-shell rooftop tent.

Always consider the weight of a rooftop tent. If you have the option of installing a lift system in your garage, this lift system can be very helpful when assembling and dismantling your new rooftop tent.

You must also note that a rooftop tent on your vehicle will increase fuel consumption and thus reduce the maximum range of the vehicle. It is also possible that the driving dynamics of the vehicle deteriorate because the vehicle’s center of gravity shifts further upwards. If possible, you should only mount the rooftop tent on the vehicle if you really need it. You should always drive very carefully with a mounted rooftop tent.

In order to mount a rooftop tent on the vehicle roof of the Hyundai Nexo, you need the right roof crossbars. The crossbars provide a stable base to carry the weight of the rooftop tent. When choosing crossbars, pay attention to high quality and stability. You can click on the image and it will take you to my suggested product on Amazon.com. I can recommend these roof crossbars for the Hyundai Nexo. You can align these crossbars so that the mounting spots are just right for the respective rooftop tent model.

Is it difficult to install a roof rack tent?

No! On the contrary, with most models you only have to screw the underside of the tent floor to the roof rack of your vehicle. The best way to do this is with two people, as the roof rack tent is relatively heavy. After you have tightened all the screws properly, you can put full load on the tent.

Is it difficult to clean the tent?

No, you can easily clean the outside of the tent with water and a little detergent. The inside of the tent is also best cleaned with soap and water. Make sure that the inside of the tent is completely dry before you fold it up and store it. Otherwise it could happen that mold could form in the tent due to the high humidity.

How many people can sleep on the roof of the car in the tent?

It all depends on the size of the tent. You can also sleep with three people in a two-person tent. The weight does not play such a big role here, as the tent is not supported on the roof of the car, but on the supporting pillars (A-pillar & C-pillar) of the car or truck. This means that the weight is always evenly distributed over the entire vehicle.

Everything there for assembly?

The Roof Rack Tents are mounted on the Roof Rack Crossbar of your car. You need these brackets for your car roof. If you don't have a roof retention system yet, you can find one with us! Just click HERE.

Since I got a roof rack tent, I have been out in nature a lot more and go camping very often. It's just great to be able to pitch your tent so easily and anywhere!

I sold my RV and bought a jeep with a roof rack tent mounted on it. That was the best decision i ever made. I can pitch my tent anywhere in the desert with my jeep and spend the night there. I would never have come to these places with my RV.

My friend and I bought a roof tent for our car and now drive it almost every weekend into the wilderness and pitch our tent where it suits us. We're just excited about our new roof rack tent and never want to go camping without a roof tent again.
