Roof rack

A roof rack is a practical solution for creating additional storage space for luggage, sports equipment or other items on the roof of a vehicle. They are particularly useful for traveling, camping or outdoor activities. There are different types of roof racks, including models designed specifically for certain types or brands of vehicles. If you are looking for a roof rack for a roof tent, there are a few important points to consider: Carrier system: Make sure the rack is compatible with your vehicle. For example, measure the roof width before buying and compare the roof length with the roof rack you plan to buy. There are different types of carrier systems, e.g. for cars with or without railings. Assembly: Pay attention to how easy the rack is to assemble and disassemble. Some models offer quick assembly, which can be helpful. Mounting on a gutter, for example, proves to be very practical, it is done without drilling, the roof rack has a very secure hold. Load capacity: Check the maximum load capacity of the carrier. Your roof tent or outdoor equipment has a certain weight and it is important that the carrier can carry it. A roof rack that can bear a good load has many holders/feet so that the weight is evenly distributed across the roof of your vehicle. Accessories: Some carrier systems offer additional accessories, such as fastening systems, to securely attach the load to the roof rack. If a roof rack has a railing, it can be very helpful with particularly large loads. The railing prevents your equipment from slipping and you can secure it better. Long parts such as a parasol can also be permanently mounted on the railing, and spades or car jacks can also find a secure hold along the railing. Other roof racks can have a ladder, which is practical for being able to climb comfortably to the roof tent on the roof of the vehicle. Another practical accessory for a roof rack can be prefabricated mounting brackets for the high beam lights, LED headlights or fog lights.
