Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent Guidelines

Please reference rooftop tent guidelines below PRODUCT DETAILS. An aftermarket roof rack is required to mount a Thule Tepui rooftop tent to your vehicle.

Recommended roof rack weight capacities can be found on the manufacturers website in the Thule Fit Guide. Check your vehicle instruction booklet for information on recommended roof load.

The superior design, quality and strength of Thule roof racks make them an ideal system for carrying Tepui Rooftop Tents provided these guidelines are followed. For other brand roof rack applications check vehicle and roof rack owner’s manual for maximum weight capacity. Thule cannot assure the compatibility of other roof racks and/or their load capabilities.

Crossbar Dimensions

Minimum railing distance required is determined by tent model, see tent specifications below:

  • 2 person tent = 25.2"/64 cm
  • 3 person tent = 33.5"/85 cm
  • 4 person tent = 30.7"/78 cm

For roof rack foot spreads greater than 50"/127 cm, Thule AeroBlades, Thule WingBar Evo, Thule ProBar Evo, Thule Xsporter and TracRac bars should be used, not Thule SquareBar Evo.

Minimum Weight Capacity: 165 lbs/ 75 kg

  • DO NOT use Tepui Tents with any type of Clamp Style roof rack
  • DO NOT use Tepui Tents with any type of Edge roof rack
  • Tepui tents will fit crossbars with a maximum width of 3.25"/80 mm and height of 1.5"/38 mm

Nothing but Problems
In the interest of time I'll do a quick summary and then a full detailed one.Quick Summary: When unfolded, the tent is comfortable and fine but with over a half dozen serious issues plaguing the tent's design this is a massive headache I highly suggest you avoid. There are MUCH better models on the market now (albeit for more money - but you get what you pay for here).Review: I have been an off-roader and deep country backpacker for decades now. I have written for outdoor magazines and done several reviews. I put my gear through it and I expect it to preform. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t but the Tepui tent and brand has been one of the single worst experiences I’ve ever had. I was thrilled when I got my Tepui tent on my rig. It was exactly what I thought I wanted - set it and forget it. Little did I know this would soon become the single biggest disappointment of all my gear. I can't return it so at the very least I can tell you all the failures that I've seen with this product so you don't buy one and experience the same! I have also spent months (truthfully months) writing back and forth with their customer service, and, while very nice, they simply didn't have any useful answers to these issues. In many cases they acknowledged the problems and said they had noted them for future models.What is most important to note is that all these problems are within 15 months of buying the tent!It doesn't seem to make sense to go through step by step of every single issue I've had with this tent but I will list them here. You can see corresponding photos above.1. The zipper around the base easily gets stuck and I ended up breaking it - having to then pay to get it replaced.2. The zipper itself that holds the cover to the base separates, and while some zipper wax has alleviated the problem, it is very clear that this zipper will have to be full replaced relatively soon.3. The screws that hold the center frame into place fall out under vibration. When I spoke with customer service I was told that this was a "design challenge". Clearly this is a serious issue and I'm shocked that they didn't see this from the beginning with product testing. Isn’t this tent supposed to be used while off roading?! How can you have something that falls out under vibration? To note there are SIX of these screws, all with the potential to fall out and cause real headaches for you.4. The velcro strap that holds the ladder is not UV resistant and literally turned to dust. Again this is clearly a failure on the product testing side.5. Ladder feet dig into the metal frame of the tent. Again, customer service noted that this is a problem they knew about. They suggested tapping some rubber there or cloth. Yet another band-aid for a poorly made product.6. Folding failure - this has to be my biggest complaint. When folding up the tent the fabric doesn't fold properly inside meaning that I have to climb up onto roof of my rig and fight to get it all back in there. The customer service sent bungie cords to help with this (which I have yet to test) but the rainfly is still going to be an issue. Honestly, this makes the entire setup pointless.7. Ripped tooth - In a mid size windstorm one of the "teeth" the holds the rain fly in place ripped. While normally I'd just blow this off, it's yet another product failure for this tent.8. The lining the holds the tent in place has come out. I have no idea how this happened. I don't know if it'll happen again. While it isn't "damage" it does mean I have to remove the entire top of the tent and "rethread" the tend back through the plastic. If this is something I start having to do all the time I think I'll go mad.As you can see, the issues far outweigh any benefit of this tent. I can’t stress enough, do your homework, look around. There are much, much, much better models on the market. It might also say something that REI dropped Tepui from their stores because of the product failures.

Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2021
Amazing tent. Arrived with no damage, first night in it I put the rain fly on before bed (thank god) then we had 60km winds and major rain. No leaks and barely any condensation as it has vents built in. Very durable tent and very good quality. I have it on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk on Thule crossbars with stock roof racks and it is solid.
