What should I check when buying a used roof tent?

Inspect the canvas for rips, tears, mould, and water damage. Check the condition of the zips, seams, and any windows. Ensure the frame is straight, undamaged, and that all hinges and locking mechanisms are in good working order. Ask about the tent's history and how often it has been used.

Are there any specific legal requirements for using a roof tent in the UK?

Ensure your vehicle's roof load capacity is sufficient for the roof tent and any occupants. Check your vehicle handbook or contact the manufacturer for this information. Be aware of height restrictions when driving and parking, especially in car parks and under bridges. When camping, adhere to local camping regulations and landowner permissions.

How do I properly care for a roof tent to prolong its lifespan?

Clean the canvas regularly with a mild soap and water solution, ensuring it is completely dry before storing. Store the tent in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mould growth. Lubricate zips periodically to keep them working smoothly. Inspect the tent regularly for any signs of damage and repair them promptly.

What safety precautions should I take when using a roof tent?

Ensure the ladder is stable and securely attached before climbing in or out. Avoid using the tent in high winds or severe weather conditions. Be aware of your surroundings and potential hazards, such as trees or overhead power lines. Never leave children unattended in the tent.

What are the common issues to look out for when buying a used roof tent?

Look for signs of wear and tear on the canvas, particularly around stress points. Check for any missing or damaged hardware, such as poles, pegs, or straps. Inspect the mattress for mould or mildew. Ask the seller if the tent has ever been repaired and, if so, what repairs were carried out.
