Hello Mike,

We do not have a tent set-up here at the moment, and those measurements were nowhere to find. Rachel at Yakima was kind enough to go measure their display tent.

On the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars - 2 Person - 400 lbs - Tan and Red # Y07436 if you were to set-up the tent to deploy from the side the distance between the clamps on the bar is 24" center to center and from outside to outside is 26.5".

They did not have the tent set up going deploying from the back but the clamps will be further apart, Yakima says they approximately 30" from clamp to clamp.

I attached some images with these measurements, and a review video for you to check out that my buddy Ed put together.

What are you your thoughts, do those measurements work for you?
