TentBox roof tents represent exceptional value.

TentBox brand was founded in 2015, at a time when the concept of a roof top tent was relatively unknown, perhaps outside of the 4x4 niche. There were already some brands, but all manufacturers were focused on the 4x4 market. At Tentbox, they had a vision to change and shape the market by creating a range of roof top tents for mainstream vehicles, making this amazing concept accessible to everyone. And with Britain being a country of camping enthusiasts, it was only a matter of time before roof top tents would one day become the new norm.

 

A sustainable brand.

 In general, roof tent camping is a much more sustainable way to travel as it doesn't involve flying and you can holiday closer to home. At TentBox, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. We strive to make our products as sustainable as possible, from the materials we use to the way we package and deliver our tents. We're also committed to continuous improvement and regularly review our processes to identify areas where we can further reduce our environmental impact.

Yes, putting a roof tent on a van/truck is a popular option. A TentBox makes a great addition to a van or even a campervan (as an extra bedroom).

The easiest way to install one on a truck is over the front cab, as roof bars are easier to find and install. However, some people also attach them to the back cab - you just need to find suitable cross bars.

Vans and trucks are taller than standard cars, so you might find it helpful to have a collapsible step ladder to help you open and close the TentBox.

Lots of people install a roof tent on a trailer.

If you want mount your TentBox on a trailer, you will just need to make sure your trailer has suitable cross bars to mount it to.

Trailers can be a great option for a TentBox because they can be unhooked easily and stored in a garage. They also provide extra space for carrying gear and camping equipment.

Despite the name, a TentBox is more of a sleeping pod than a tent, and it’s just one step away from a campervan. You can sleep anywhere you can park your car, including on hard surfaces like car parks or driveways, and don’t need to look for a flat grassy pitch.

They are also super quick to set up and come fitted with a mattress; depending on the model you choose, you can also leave your bedding laid out inside when driving so that it’s already made for you when you pop it open. 

Being high off the ground makes not only for amazing elevated views from the windows but also means you are well away from the cold, wet mud and creepy crawlies. The natural air barrier between the TentBox and the car roof acts as an insulation barrier and means you stay warmer as the heat is not sucked into the ground. 

You can leave a TentBox on your car all year round, which means you are ready for spontaneous adventures at the drop of a hat. Whether that be a  weekend away at a campsite after a long week at work, or sleeping on a friend's driveway after a dinner party, everything is possible once you have a TentBox.

After the initial investment, it’s a super cost-effective way to travel as there are tonnes of free places to park up for the night, and campsites are far cheaper than hotels.

Step 2

Check your roof load

Every vehicle has a dynamic roof load limit, i.e. how much weight can be put on the roof whilst driving. You can usually find this online, or in your vehicle manual.
Your roof load limit must be greater than, or equal to the weight of the TentBox.
Almost all cars have a dynamic roof load limit of 50kgs - 75kgs or more, so are compatible with a TentBox Lite as a minimum.

What about the about the added weight of people inside?
When a car is stationary (the only time people are inside), the roof can take 5x the dynamic roof load limit, so can easily handle the weight of several people too.
