The Infiniti QX30 offers enough space inside to take your whole family or friends with you on the next camping trip. With the QX30 you can also discover campgrounds that are off the beaten track.

All you need to mount a rooftop tent on the roof of the Infiniti QX30 are the right roof rails and roof crossbars. The roof rails are screwed firmly to the vehicle roof. There are threads on the roof of the QX30 to which you can attach the roof rails.

The crossbars are then attached to the roof rails, providing a stable base for the rooftop tent. The roof tent is then connected to the crossbars at four mounting spots. Some rooftop tent models also attach directly to the roof rails, so you don’t need crossbars.

The additional weight of the rooftop tent and the people in the rooftop tent slides optimally onto the vehicle body via the roof rails. This means that neither the vehicle roof nor the body is damaged.

The registered permissible roof load of the Infiniti QX30 is relatively low, but this always refers to the vehicle in motion. This only needs to be considered if you are transporting a roof box or similar loads on the vehicle roof, for example.

As soon as the vehicle is stationary, the permissible roof load increases many times over and you can also mount a large six-person rooftop tent on the vehicle roof of the Infiniti QX30 without any problems.

A rooftop tent has many advantages over a ground-based tent. Due to the elevated position on the vehicle roof, you are safe from small and large animals. But you are also safe from water or rain that forms on the ground. A rooftop tent also offers a lot more features and comfort inside. Likewise, the walls of a rooftop tent are also thicker, providing better insulation from the cold.

Likewise, a rooftop tent is better for spontaneous camping trips. So you don’t need a heavy camping trailer or RV. You can also reach campgrounds that you could never reach with a large RV or camping trailer. The erection and dismantling of a rooftop tent is also very quick. If you wish, you can change campgrounds frequently and sleep in a different place every night.

Further down on this page, you will find an overview of the most popular rooftop tents for the Infiniti QX30.

However, you should note that installing a rooftop tent on the vehicle roof increases fuel consumption and reduces the maximum range. Likewise, the handling of the Infiniti QX30 may deteriorate as the vehicle’s center of gravity continues to shift upwards.

So you should always drive very carefully with a rooftop tent on the vehicle roof and think about the increased fuel consumption.

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.
