Not much compares to spending time in the great outdoors. It's a chance to get away from the monotony of day-to-day life and explore the beauty of nature in diverse locations near or far from home. However, while camping is an opportunity to disconnect and get closer to nature, you'll still need shelter while out in the wilderness. For many, that means pitching a tent or spending money on a cabin. However, a growing number of people are turning to rooftop tents and other innovative camping tech to keep them safe during their camping adventures.

Rooftop tents have a lot of advantages over traditional camping setups, including being comfortable, convenient, and easy to pitch. In fact, many high-quality models can be pitched in just a few minutes. All you have to do is find a secure place to park, unfurl the straps and latches, raise the roof, and you're good to go.
Since a rooftop tent sits high atop your vehicle, you can avoid spending uncomfortable nights close to the ground and the uninvited critters, dampness, and uneven terrain that often come with it. Although it may be tempting to head straight to the nearest camping store and buy the first rooftop tent that catches your eye, you should take the time to consider the following five things before making your purchase.

Your car's roof will have two weight limits ' the static one (for when you're on the campsite with people inside the tent) and the dynamic load limit (for when you're on the road). The handbook should tell you whether your car can take your chosen roof tent.
Check out which roof bars or racks will be needed to fit your tent and don't forget to include their weight in your calculations.
Will you need to keep the ladder in your car? Can you store gear in the rooftop tent while you're travelling, and will this aid or hinder your packing away process?
The initial lift onto your vehicle can require a few strong people to get involved. How easy is the rooftop tent to pitch when you arrive at your campsite? Can you set the tent up on your own, and will you always have someone to help if not?
Rooftop tent manufacturers will often offer a range of add-ons and accessories to pair with your tent. A boot bag can be a useful addition to aid in keeping your tent clean and dry, while items like levellers for your car (for uneven ground) might be purchased elsewhere at a more reasonable price.
While generally more expensive and heavier than soft shell rooftop tents, hard shell tents can offer longevity and durability, especially in high winds and ease of set up.
Just as with ground tents, rooftop tents are built to stand strong against the UK's varying weather. You'll get the most wind protection from a hard shell roofbox tent, and full-coverage awnings on all windows and doors are ideal if you're planning on camping year-round. However, you will always be more exposed in a roof tent so if very strong winds are forecast you may need to strike camp.
