After additional testing with Sherpa Equipment Company, we’re thrilled to share the exciting results of testing our latest innovation: the low-profile roof top tent roof top tent mounts! Our new mounts are designed to tackle the challenges of installing tents on low-profile roof racks, and the test results have been nothing short of remarkable.
Here’s a sneak peek into our product development journey:
- Perfect Fit and Function: Our initial test was a breeze! After a few quick tweaks—adding washers and adjusting positions—the mounts slid on effortlessly. We fine-tuned the front crossbars, moving them to the rear in order to eliminate any extra play and ensure a rock-solid fit.
- Crossbar Conundrums: We hit a snag with the rear crossbar due to an installed light. Instead of settling for a compromise, we experimented with moving the crossbar forward and discovered the sweet spot for mounting. It became clear that the second-to-last crossbar was the perfect choice since the tent mounting rail couldn't quite reach the last crossbar.
- Precision Installation: With our measurements dialed in, we centered the tent and got to work. Using an electric drill and hand ratchets, we secured the mounts with precision. Our initial design had the front mounts moving, but we're already working on iterations with rear-moving mounts for even greater ease.
- Road-Test Triumph: The ultimate test was a success! The tent stayed firmly in place with zero rattling or noise, proving that our mounts not only fit but excel in real-world conditions.
Join us on this thrilling journey as we continue to innovate and refine our products. Stay tuned for more updates and videos featuring our mounts in action with various roof racks and tent brands.
