    Vickywood Migthy Oak 160 on my Suzuki Jimny Specs :
    Unique hybrid roof tent for 2 to 3 people.
    This tent is very fast and easy to set up and take down due to the combination of a fold-out floor and a hard outer cover.
    Due to the top quality of the fabric, the materials used, the telescopic ladder, the roof window and the thick mattress, this roof tent belongs to the absolute top.

      jawel toch, meteen van de dealer naar de keuring voor weging en meting voor eerste ingebruikname. Ook al is hij op papier lichte vracht, hij is te kort en wordt toch belast als personenauto. Met het nadeel dat je nog eens élk jaar naar de keuring moet, in plaats van pas na 4 jaar de eerste keer. En inschrijven als personenauto gaat ook niet, omdat hij zo niet gehomologeerd is.@@LifeofSmokey

    Dude, the Jilny is given by Suzuky to support a max load of 30 kg (yeah 😂) on the roof, how could you put this heavy tent on it without damages ?

    • @LifeofSmokey
      @LifeofSmokey  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No idea , got inside the tent with my buddy who weighs 100kg and no damage what so ever 😅🤷‍♂️

    • @Syulang-nt4kj
      @Syulang-nt4kj 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's not that 30kg is the max the roof can physically support (modern cars are designed so if they roll, they won't crush - the roof is strong) but rather the handling when the car is in motion - it's all about centre of gravity. The lighter and taller the car, the less weight you can put on the roof before handling becomes.... interesting. The Jimny is very light and quite tall, so the max weight that can go at roof level is low. Obvs Suzuki are very conservative for liability and PR reasons, but if you're going off road, it pays to be conservative. I'd push it a bit over 30kg to be completely honest, but 80kg? I don't think I'd feel safe at highway speeds or off road - you're only one swift turn or hole away from rolling it. I hoped the Jimny XL would have a higher roof rating (being almost 100kg heavier as a vehicle) but it's the same. FWIW you can get roof tents in the 40kg range, which would be a good (if not technically within the limit) match for the Jimny, but you often are stuck with soft shells.

    • @jacktyler5241
      @jacktyler5241 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s irresponsible for him to have called this the ideal “off-road” setup. As you say, the Suzuki handling gets questionable with weight on the roof, many say 60kg is where they’d push to.
      This tent, plus the rack he’s using is 110+ kg. Horribly overweight.

    @JesseHMR ปีที่แล้ว

    You cannot put a rooftop tent on any car, if the roof or rack isn't designed to support that kind of weight you could do severe damage to your car, risk your passenger's safety, void your manufacturer's insurance etc. You will also impact severely the stability of your rig in off-road conditions by creating a higher point of gravity.
    I've seen so many people put rooftop tents on a Xtrails and co and destroy their cars with the racks ripping off their mounted rivets. There are ratings for a reason.

    • @NrangeGoDie
      @NrangeGoDie 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      sure you can. Just check up the Roof Kg Limits (dynamic and static). But if you can put a Rack on your Roof there is a tent for it. You cant put this on it. But a light shell Tent which weights like 20kg is possible on any car. So hes right :D But you are right if you say you cant put any Rooftop Tent on any Car if it has a Rack on it :D
