Roof top tents are a great way to comfortably enjoy the outdoors while taking the road less traveled. They have the comfort of sleeping off the ground on a flat, padded, spacious bed. With the ease of folding it all up and moving on to the next adventure, and you can leave all your bedding in them which frees up valuable cargo space, it’s no suprise rooftop tents have become so popular. There are now dozens of brands and a wide variety of tents to choose from, but whether it’s a soft top or a hard shell tent, they all come with a cost. Most roof top tents are upwards of $1200 on the low end, and $3000-$5000 on the high end, so securing that investment to your vehicle is important. 

With roof top tents becoming more and more popular, unfortunately, there is a growing amount of theft, as well. All it takes is a set of bolt cutters or a standard wrench and socket to remove four bolts and your several thousand dollar tent is stolen in under 60 seconds without setting off your car alarm. We’ve seen it all too much and most of the time, those roof top tents are stolen right from your home where it gets parked in between adventures, most often in "safe neighborhoods." We’ve also seen the cheap, stock hardware fail when it comes to keeping tents on the vehicle even while driving on paved highways let alone bumpy dirt roads.

The best solution is to replace that cheap hardware with something that is more durable and deters thieves. Our patented roof top tent security mounts are 100% made in the USA by off-road enthusiasts. Not only are the mounts more durable, they also include a proprietary socket and nuts similar to locking lug nuts making it incredibly difficult to remove/steal without using our unique socket. The proprietary hardware included is keyed to our specifications and licensed exclusively to us so you cannot purchase this socket from anywhere else. The socket is only 1.5" in length so it will easily fit in low profile/low clearance spaces like between a roofrack and your vehicle.

We were disappointed in the stock mounting hardware our first roof top tent included and struggled to keep it secure on all of our adventures, even having it fly off once or twice. Little by little we worked through the issues, testing different hardware on the dirt and fine-tuned our security mount kit to make a premium product that gave us peace of mind on the trail and parked at home. We’ve put our roof top tent mounts through the test across thousands of dirt miles, several rock-crawling trails like the Rubicon, Sand Hollow, and Moab, and pre-running desert whoop sections at high speed, and our tent hasn’t moved an inch. We are currently on version 3.5 of the tent mounts and are constantly improving everything we build and sell any chance we get.

Our RTT has suffered through many whoop sections driven at freeway speeds, trips to the Rubicon, Moab, and Johnson Valley, with no issues. Our mounts provide great peace of mind whether when driving spiritedly through a trail or leaving your truck parked outside. When you invest as much as you do in a great rooftop tent, it makes sense to protect and secure it with the right hardware.
