Can Napier SUV Tent NA49FR Be Used With SUV That Has Barn Doors?
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/22/2025
Question:
How does it connect to a vehicle with barn doors instead of a liftgate? I thought I saw where it doesn't work.

Great question, Miguel. The Napier Sportz SUV Tent - 5 Person # NA49FR sleeve is adjustable and fits over rear openings even if your doors swing out to the side. Napier only recommends the larger tents like this one for the barn door style.
As far as how it connects, it will actually connect the same way as standard trunk liftgates. The only thing that might be different is that instead of clipping to the wheel wells, you may clip to the barn doors if they swing out that far.
What vehicle do you have? I can help narrow down the install if you'd like.
