Hey Matteo!

Yes, you can use a rooftop tent with the Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack for Rain Gutters # RR55CG. A tent like the Front Runner Rooftop Tent # FR26RV can work, but you’ll want to verify the weight limits before choosing your tent.

First, check the weight of your rooftop tent against the roof rack’s load rating and your vehicle’s maximum roof capacity. You’ll also want to confirm the rack’s static weight capacity is enough to support the tent plus everyone sleeping in it while parked. Finally, make sure the tent’s mounting clamps will fit securely around the Rhino-Rack crossbars.

Do you already have a rooftop tent in mind, or are you still deciding which one to go with?
