OEX Vertex Lite Roof Top Tent for 2 People with Integrated Mattress and Telescopic Ladder, Lightweight 2 Man Car Roof Tent with Fold Out Pitching Style

Product Information

Designed by experts to handle the toughest conditions in the UK, OEX offers both novice and experienced outdoors adventurers' equipment they can rely on, without having to spend a fortune. Once the Vertex is placed and aligned correctly on your vehicle and the two supporting rails of the Vertex are at 90 degrees to the roof bars, you’re ready to secure them together using the four U-shape brackets. Given tents come in a wide variety, we test each against its intended use, whether that be 3-season wild camping, summer backpacking, or high-end roof tents. It’s also important to consider the firmness of the ground you’re parking on, and whether the ground is level and dry.

Despite its low weight, we recommend that the lifting part of the installation process is carried out by at least two people or by using a hoist. You're not going to want a roof tent permanently affixed to your roof, so bear in mind you'll want a helping hand getting these things on and off your car.

Simply pull down on the now fully extended ladder to unfold the base and in turn unfurl the roof tent. Other considerations: Roof tents should not be used on glass roofed (panoramic) cars but sunroofs are okay. Exceeding the weight limit can lead to damage to the vehicle or the roof rack itself and can also pose a safety hazard. Once all four U bracket points (8 screw nuts) are secured to the vehicle’s roof bars, repeat the tightening of each bracket as the tightening process of one side can sometimes loosen the adjacent side. However, OEX accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from modifications used to fit roof bars outside of the maximum and minimum bar depth.To test these roof tents, we hit up a series of (legally approved) wild parking spots across the UK and pitched in a range of weather conditions – from high summer to late autumn.

Now your Vertex is stable, ascend the ladder to further extend the canopy and lock it into place using a single-button telescopic pole, making the canopy taught. Note: It may be possible to purchase longer bolts (not available from manufacturer) to increase the depth. Designed to attach securely to the top of your vehicle, this comfortable off-ground sleeping area can be set up in seconds making overnight camping missions a breeze! Bumps and vibrations from driving the car, especially when off-roading to your camping spot, can cause the nuts to loosen.Dynamic load” is the maximum weight that can be carried by the roof bars when the vehicle is driven.
