Your Car’s Weight Limit
When purchasing rooftop tents from any leading name, like iKamper, it’s vital to consider your car’s weight limit. Dynamic weight and static weight can factor into whether you could use your classic vehicle for camping.
Dynamic weight refers to the weight you can have on top of a car while it’s in motion, which can alter the forces affecting your vehicle from all sides while it’s moving. Typically, you’ll find this information in your car’s manual.
If you have a really old car, such as a 1967 Shelby 427, there’s a chance you might no longer have the manual. Fortunately, other car lovers might. Check the internet, and you might find a manual for sale or viewing online to find the information you need.
It’s also important to consider your vehicle’s static weight, referring to how much weight it can carry while it’s sitting still. This information should also be available in any vehicle manual.
The Tent Weight
