Liliana, yes, technically you can mount a rooftop tent on the SeaSucker Ridge Ready Monkey Bars Roof Rack as long as the combined weight of the rack, the tent, and any gear you're carrying stays under the rack's 150-pound weight capacity while you're driving. The adjustable vacuum mounts allow you to position the bars over the strongest areas of your vehicle's roof, which helps provide a secure installation.

You'll also want to make sure your rooftop tent manufacturer approves mounting the tent to round crossbars and that your vehicle's roof is rated to support a rooftop tent. Those are important factors regardless of which roof rack you choose.

That said, if you're planning to use a rooftop tent regularly, I would recommend looking at a roof rack with a higher weight capacity that's designed specifically with rooftop tents in mind. It will give you a larger margin of confidence and more flexibility when choosing a tent.

What year, make, and model is your vehicle? I'd be happy to see if there's a rooftop tent-friendly rack that's a better fit for your setup.
