If you have any questions about proper placement of roof bars / cross bars, or installation of your TentBox in general, please contact us for advice. It's very important that your TentBox is installed correctly.

Correct roof bar distance

To ensure the safety of you and and your TentBox, we recommend the following distance between your two cross bars:

TentBox Lite - 50cm-100cm

TentBox Lite XL - 70cm-120cm

TentBox Classic - 70cm-120cm

TentBox Cargo - 70cm-120cm

Tolerance

A few centimetres on either side of these ranges is acceptable, but it's always important to place your TentBox as centrally as possible onto your crossbars.
