Although the Volvo S90 is a sedan that offers a lot of luxury, you can also drive the Volvo S90 to camp with a rooftop tent. The Volvo S90 has the option of mounting roof rails and roof crossbars on which you can then mount the rooftop tent.

It doesn’t matter whether you want to buy a hard-shell or soft-shell rooftop tent. The vehicle is able to carry almost all rooftop tents. The Volvo S90 has a very high roof load. So you can set up rooftop tents with well over 150 lbs. Of course, this always applies to the driving state. Of course, when the vehicle is stationary, the roof or the roof rails can be subjected to far more stress.

You can set up a rooftop tent for up to a large number of people without any problems. It is important that the rooftop tent is not wider than the vehicle when folded.

Take a closer look at the articles on my website. There you will find many tips on the topic of roof tents. Below I have also listed a few examples of the best rooftop tents that you can easily mount on the Volvo S90.

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.
