Mounting Rooftop Tent to Fibreglass Canopy

Postby VMANN on Thu, 28 Jun 2018 10:00 +0000

Hey guys,
Looking to see photos or options for mounting a rooftop tent to a fibreglass canopy,
I’ve just recently purchased a Carryboy Canopy and have been told that there “roof bars” are pretty much for looks and I need to change them but no idea what avenue I need to head down.

any information would be great.

Hi mate,

I'm currently at work so I don't have any photos but I have an ARB canopy that I've mounted some Thule roof racks which I can bolt the rooftop straight onto. Thule was super cheap and strong enough to hold it.

I also has to knock up some weight bearing supports that helped carry the weight of the rooftop, these went on the inside of the canopy. Knock them up yourself or head to ARB and they'll help you out.

Hope this helps, and is what you were after.
