Product Information

Full details

The Summit Roof Tent Compatible Roof Bars (SURT-106) are designed for off-road enthusiasts and campers who require a rock-solid foundation for mounting a TentBox or similar roof tent. These bars offer superior stability through a reinforced profile, ensuring your sleeping setup remains secure during transit, though users should ensure their vehicle's roof weight capacity aligns with the combined weight of the tent and the bars before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all roof tents?

They are specifically engineered for TentBox and similar roof tent systems, but always verify your tent's mounting bracket width against the 1.3m bar span.

Do I need tools to install these?

The bars come pre-assembled, but you will need standard tools, usually an Allen key or wrench, to secure them to your vehicle's specific fix-points.

Can I use these for other cargo like ladders or surfboards?

Yes, their reinforced design makes them excellent for heavy-duty cargo, provided you use appropriate tie-down methods.

How much weight can these bars support?

While the bars themselves are highly durable, the total load capacity is ultimately limited by the vehicle manufacturer's specified roof load limit.

Are these bars lockable?

The fix-point mounting system acts as a secure base; check if your specific vehicle fix-point covers include locking mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Bars feel loose after installation

Re-check the fix-point bolts to ensure they are fully seated and tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Increased wind noise at highway speeds

Verify that the end caps are securely attached and consider adding a wind fairing if the tent footprint creates significant turbulence.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully pre-assembled for immediate installation
  • Reinforced steel construction provides maximum structural integrity
  • Specifically tested and optimized for roof tent dynamic loads
  • Stable fix-point mounting prevents shifting during travel

Cons

  • Requires specific vehicle fix-points for installation
  • Heavier than standard utility bars due to reinforced profile
  • Fixed width may not fit all vehicle roof profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the bars directly into the vehicle's factory-designated fix-points. Since the unit arrives pre-assembled, your primary task is ensuring the tension is correct upon installation. Periodically check all attachment hardware before each trip, especially after driving over rough or corrugated terrain. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, clean the bars with mild soap and water to remove road salt or debris that could lead to corrosion over time. Always ensure the rubber contact surfaces are clean to prevent scratching the vehicle's paintwork.
