Ma voiture est-elle compatible ?

At Go Overland Europe we are committed to offering Roof Tents that fit a wide range of vehicles. To ensure a safe and optimal installation, it is essential to check certain compatibility criteria between your car and our Roof Tents.

Roof load capacity of your vehicle

The dynamic load capacity is the maximum weight that your vehicle can support while in motion. It is important to ensure that the weight of the Roof Tent, added to that of the roof bars, does not exceed this limit. You will find this information in your vehicle's manual or by contacting the manufacturer.

Suitable roof bars

Your vehicle must be equipped with sturdy cross bars capable of supporting the weight of the Roof Tent. For more information, visit our Choosing your roof bars page.

Roof types and fixing points

Vehicles can have different types of roofs:

  • Roof with longitudinal rails : The crossbars are easily attached to them.

  • Roof without rails but with fixing points : Specific bars can be installed directly on these points.

  • Flat roof without fixing points : Jaw systems allow the crossbars to be fixed.

It is important to check that the fixing points are not in contact with glass surfaces, particularly in the presence of panoramic roofs, to avoid any damage.

Vehicle height and dimensions

Adding a Roof Tent increases the overall height of your vehicle, so it is essential to take this extra dimension into account when driving, especially when passing under bridges, in car parks or in areas with restricted height.

Driving speed

With a Roof Tent installed, it is recommended not to exceed a speed of 100 to 120 km/h for safety reasons.

Conclusion

Most vehicles, whether city cars, SUVs, vans or 4x4s, can accommodate a Roof Tent, provided they meet the criteria mentioned above. If you have any doubts or specific questions regarding the compatibility of your vehicle with our Roof Tents, do not hesitate to contact us. Our team will be happy to assist you so that you can fully enjoy your adventures with Go Overland Europe.
