Mercedes-Benz E-Class Roof Rack Tent Buyers Guide

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is not only a great luxury vehicle that is ideal for the city, but you can also experience great camping adventures with your E-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers enough space inside to take the whole family with you. The trunk of the E Class is also large enough to take enough camping equipment with you.

The vehicle roof of the E class offers enough space to mount a four-person rooftop tent. So you and your whole family can sleep on the roof of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

With a rooftop tent, you don’t need a camping trailer or even an RV to spend a great camping weekend.

A rooftop tent has the great advantage that you sleep at a certain height above the bay. So you are safe from small and large animals. But in a rooftop tent, you are also safe from the nightly cold that comes from the ground, and also from moisture that collects on the ground. These are just a few advantages of a rooftop tent over a ground-based tent.

All you need to mount a rooftop tent on the roof of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class are roof rails and roof crossbars.

The roof rails are screwed firmly to the vehicle roof. The crossbars are then mounted on the roof rails. These crossbars then offer an optimal basis for assembling the rooftop tent. In this way, the rooftop tent is securely and stably connected to the vehicle.

The additional weight from the roof tent and the people in the tent is safely distributed over the roof rails to the entire vehicle body.

The registered maximum roof load for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a bit low, but this always refers to the vehicle in motion. This applies, for example, if you have installed a roof box.

However, as soon as the vehicle is standing still, the permissible roof load increases many times over.

You can set up a large rooftop tent on the E-class roof and up to four people can stay or sleep in the rooftop tent on the vehicle roof.

You have the option of buying a hard-shell or soft-shell rooftop tent for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. When buying the roof tent, just make sure that the roof tent is not wider than the vehicle when folded.

You must also note that the fuel consumption increases and the maximum range decrease when the rooftop tent is mounted. The driving behavior can also deteriorate because the center of gravity of the vehicle is shifted further upwards.

So you should only set up the rooftop tent when you really need it.
