How Much Weight Can Yakima SkyRise Tent Handle  

Question:

Good day sir, I was thinking to order the YASHIMA SKYRISE TENT. The problem is I dont know if my car with my current setup can handle the weight of the tent with me in it. Car: Suzuki Vitara 2019 Bars: Thule WingBar Evo 127 50 in The car manufacturer states that the car can handle 75kg on the roof. Thule WingBar Evo 127 can handle 100kg on it. My weight is 85kg. Does the tent with the ladder and me in it support this kind of weight? How does it work? Thank you very much

Expert Reply:

The Yakima SkyRise Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07436 requires your 2019 Suzuki Vitara and each component of its roof rack, such as the Thule WingBar and the feet it is mounted on, to have a capacity that is a minimum of 165 lbs (which is nearly 75 kg).

From the numbers you gave, your Vitara and the WingBar itself can handle that much weight so it will depend on if your Vitara's rack mounts to raised side rails, flush side rails or fixed mounting points, and the capacity of those mounts (see accompanying photo).

If it does, and you have a crossbar spread of between 26" and 40-1/2" you will be able to use the Yakima SkyRise Tent # Y07436.
