Rooftop Tent Basics
To be able to use this tent on your vehicle, both your roof and your aftermarket roof rack must have a minimum load capacity of 165 lbs. This weight capacity, also known as dynamic weight capacity, is the maximum weight your roof and roof rack can safely support while the vehicle is in motion. If your setup meets these requirements, then you should be able to safely hold the tent and occupants when your vehicle is stationary. The stationary capacity, or static weight capacity, won't be listed in your vehicle's manual or your roof rack's installation instructions. Instead, it is determined by the 165 lbs minimum load carrying capacity explained above.

I wanted to use it before placing a review but so far i been to 4 camping trips and i love it. Installation was pretty easy you do need someone to help you though. The only thing i wish was that the cover was a little bit more heavy duty material mine has 2 holes already after the 2nd use. Other then that love this tent.

- Does Thule Tepui Explorer 3 Rooftop Tent Come With Everything Needed For InstallThe Thule Tepui Explorer 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 comes with everything needed to attach to the roof rack of your 2018 Toyota Highlander. Happy Camping!
view full answer... - Can Lock be Added to Thule Tepui Rooftop TentI checked in the instructions for the Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 and while there isn't a way to lock it right from Thule, I do have a possible solution although it isn't perfect. When you install the mounting hardware into the tracks on the underside rails you'll insert 10mm Nylock nuts into that inner slot and then use those to install the 10mm recessed bolts. You'll reach under the mattress to tighten everything up. If you can find some 10mm Nylock nuts that fit into that...
view full answer... - Does Thule Roof Rack Have Capacity for Thule Tepui Explorer Roof Top TentThis is a really great question but the short answer is yes, the Thule roof rack you have will handle the weight of the Thule Tepui Explorer Autana 3 Rooftop Tent with Annex # TH8001KSK05 and the cargo you mentioned. The long answer is that the weight capacity of the roof rack you mentioned is the dynamic weight capacity, or the capacity of weight it can handle while also withstanding bumps in the road that would exaggerate that weight and put additional stress on it. So the static capacity,...
view full answer... - Yakima Overhaul HD Compatibility Between 2019 Toyota Tundra And A 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HDThe Yakima Overhaul HD # Y01151-58 you mention is compatible with your 2019 Toyota Tundra as well as your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. The Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam # TH8001KSK05 is not a compatible match for your Yakima Overhaul HD, however the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07436 will work with the Overhaul HD and will be interchangeable between vehicles.
view full answer... - How to Use a Rooftop Tent with a 2014 Ford F-150It sounds like you are wanting to use a rooftop tent with your 2014 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. I have a possible solution for you. First, though, a rooftop tent cannot be used on a naked roof. They must be mounted to a rack system attached to rails. As such, you will need to utilize your ladder rack. I recommend the Thule Tepui Explorer 3, part # TH8001KSK05. As for how to transport your raft, you can pull it on a roof rack on wheels like the Malone MicroSport Trailer, part # MPG460G. It attaches...
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Static Weight For Rooftop TentRhino Rack doesn't provide the static weight capacity of their racks, but the system on your 2016 Kia Soul has a dynamic capacity of 165 lbs which will support the tent # TH8001KSK05 alone. Adding a third bar to your set up will help if you're thinking the system can't hold the weight. I see no reason why your roof rack cannot hold both the tent and your weight especially with the third bar installed. A rule of thumb with rooftop tents is that if the rack can handle 165lbs of dynamic weight...
view full answer... - Rack for Rooftop Tent with Tonneau Cover for 2017 Toyota TacomaThe best way to mount a roof-top tent to your 2017 Toyota Tacoma with a Truxedo LoPro tonneau cover is using a roof rack like Yakima's CoreBar Crossbars Roof Rack System: # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06145, # Y06128. With the way your tonneau cover secures to your bed and the lack of stake-pockets on the Tacoma there isn't a ladder rack available for your Tacoma that works together with your tonneau. I like the CoreBar system because it has a high capacity and it looks good. One thing that...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack And Towers For A 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4XE W/ A Jeep Sky One Touch RoofThat is correct, the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 with the Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH33ZR does have the static capacity you need to use the rooftop tent like the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent - 3 Person # TH8001KSK05. These crossbars measure 60" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall, has a maximum weight capacity of 220-lbs and have a quiet low-profile design. I have attached a couple of product videos for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2022 Toyota 4Runner To Mount Rooftop TentI have a solution for you. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA137B-2 and the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # RRSX100. This will give you a firm mounting point for many accessories, like the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent - 3 Person - 600 lbs - Olive Green # TH8001KSK05.
view full answer... - How to Use Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent on 2017 Ram 1500The issue with all rooftop tents is that to mount them on a roof rack, the rack must be mounted to raised rails, and the roof racks that fit your 2017 Ram 1500 all attach to a naked roof, so a roof top tent is not compatible. I know you specified not on the bed of the truck, but that would be the only option for you so I wanted to mention it, and there is an option from Yakima for this: - 78" Crossbars: Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-59 - 68" Crossbars: Yakima...
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Compatibility With Thule Tepui Rooftop TentThe Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 mounts to crossbars with two bolts running down to a bracket and nuts to tighten it down. The standard mounting kit that comes with it will fit a crossbar that is up to 3.5" wide and 1.5" tall. If your bed rack cross bars are 4" wide you can use the Ladder Rack Adapter Kit for Thule Tepui Rooftop Tents Item # THXADAPT14. Since it's such a simple design to mount it should fit any truck bed ladder rack that falls within the 3.5"...

- Recommended Roof Top Tent for a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport TracThe Rightline Truck Bed Tent # RL110770 unfortunately will not fit your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It looks like the correct tent would've been 110907 but it has been discontinued. So for an alternative option, you'd have to use a roof top tent # TH8001KSK05 which would require a set of crossbars # TH711400 and feet # TH710401 if you don't already have a set. This tent can sleep up to 3 people, has a 600 lb capacity, and is made from 600 denier and a 260g poly-cotton blend that's...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 RTT & 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition Yes, the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent, # TH8001KSK05 is compatible with your 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition; it weighs 131 lbs. From specs available to me from an online Owners Manual for the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition, it states "The roof rail system is designed to carry loads (cargo, roof crossbars and carrying attachments) of no more than 220 lbs". I do recommend that you verify this against your vehicle specific Owners Manual. There is a section...
view full answer... - Is Thule Tepui 3-Person Tent Compatible With Yakima OverHaul Ladder RackThat is a really good question, and you don't actually need any type of adapter or anything else for your Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 in order to mount the Thule Tepui tent you asked about: - Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 The reason for that is this tent mounts directly to crossbars which are up to 3-1/4" wide x 1-1/2" tall, and the Yakima crossbars on the OverHaul are 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall.

view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack System for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to Carry Roof TentIn order to be able to use a roof top tent on your 2013 JKU with a hard top you'll need to use the Rhino Rack BackBone System, which reinforces the hard top and does not use the rain gutters that would normally be used to mount a standard roof rack system on the JKU. As a fellow Jeep JKU with a hard top owner, this is the only way that I would even think about mounting a roof tent on my baby and it's going to give you the capacity to carry a tent with ease. The BackBone roof rack system...

view full answer... - Would Thule Tepui Explorer Fit Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack of 2018 Subaru Outback WagonIf you have a Thule Aeroblade roof rack on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon then yes the Thule Tepui Explorer Autana 3 Rooftop Tent with Annex # TH8001KSK05 will fit it and work well.

RAV4's come with a few different rail styles for their roofs but if you have a naked roof with no rails that run front-to-back then you will not be able to use a roof top tent on the roof and would instead need to use a rooftop tent trailer like the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. If you have rails that are flush with the roof...
view full answer... - Does Thule Tepui Kukenam 3-Person Tent Fit Rhino-Rack Crossbars on Tundra With Retrax Pro XR TonneauThank you for your order of the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTX99XR for your 2023 Toyota Tundra. While there is no type of adapter for the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05, I can tell you it will definitely fit the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. The Vortex crossbars are 100% within the dimensions of the crossbar size needed for the Kukenam, but you do have to use the hardware that came with the tent, as there isn't any other...
view full answer... - Static Weight Capacity For A 2021 GMC Yukon AT4The Roof Rack System on your 2021 Yukon AT4 has a dynamic weight capacity of 220lbs. Dynamic weight capacity is the amount of weight it can handle in motion. So it can handle the roof top tent # TH8001KSK05 you have no problem. What you need to find out is the Static Weight Capacity (capacity when parked). This is usually found in the owners manual of your vehicle. Confirm with your owners manual, but your roof should have a Static Weight Capacity of 600lbs.
view full answer... - Is There Any Way to Transport a Rooftop Tent with a Hard Top 1999 Jeep TJ?I have a creative solution for you. Unfortunately, all crossbar manufacturers we carry will not give you the proper static weight capacity you need in order to accommodate body weight and the weight of a tent on your 1999 Jeep Tj's hardtop. However, if you are set on transporting and mounting a tent, I recommend mounting the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 on the crossbars of the Malone MicroSport Trailer - 78" # MPG460G. Since the Malone Microsport trailer has...

This crossbar setup has a maximum weight capacity of 220-lbs, and will mount to your camper shell on your Silverado and will provide a mounting point for your Thule Tepui Explorer # TH8001KSK05. This setup will give you more than enough capacity to handle two adults plus the crossbars and the tent.
