The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a great vehicle to take on a camping trip. The Outlander offers enough interior space to take the whole family with you and even more space to take a lot of camping equipment with you.
When you go camping with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, you don’t need a camping trailer or RV. With the Mitsubishi, you can go places that a camping trailer or RV can never go.
You can mount a rooftop tent on the roof of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and discover campsites off the beaten track.
All you need to mount a rooftop tent on the roof of the Mitsubishi Outlander are roof crossbars. These crossbars are attached to the factory roof rails and then offer the rooftop tent an option for assembly. The rooftop tent is bolted to the crossbars at four mounting spots. The weight of the roof tent and the people in the roof tent is optimally distributed by the roof rails over the entire vehicle body. So the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will not be damaged by the extra weight on the vehicle roof.
For example, you can set up a hard-shell or soft-shell rooftop tent for up to six people on the Outlander’s roof. You can even attach an awning to the rooftop tent to get an extra protected space.
The specified permissible roof load of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is relatively low, but this always refers to the moving vehicle (important for roof boxes). As soon as the vehicle is stationary, the possible roof load increases many times over and up to six adults can easily stay or sleep on the roof of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
Another advantage of a rooftop tent is that you sleep safely at a certain height. This means that small or larger animals can no longer be dangerous to you. In the rooftop tent you are also protected from the cold or wet ground.
Modern rooftop tents also offer a lot of comforts. Such as many practical storage compartments, easy assembly, awnings, comfortable mattresses or solar panels that supply the rooftop tent with electricity, and much more…

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.
Mark S. Happy CustomerMy 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.
