Load Rating for Cargo Rails

The Gen 3-R Rooftop Tent features a robust load rating for its cargo rails, supporting up to 50 kg. However, the placement of this load significantly affects the ease of opening and closing the tent. Here’s how to optimise your setup:

• Load Placement: Heavier items should be positioned towards the front of the roof. This helps maintain the tent’s balance and ensures smoother operation when opening or closing.

• Lighter Items: Lighter loads, such as a solar panel, are best placed towards the rear of the roof. This configuration helps in maintaining the overall balance and ease of access.

By strategically distributing your load, you can enhance the functionality of the tent and ensure that it opens and closes with minimal effort.
