Roofnest Installation

[@electricadventureclub2001]

Our team is excited to put roofnest to the test!!! We need quicker setup and tear down times to be able to tackle all the terrain,footage trips, and our offroad adventures with our electric vehicle arsenal lol🤟⚡⚡ Will the roof hold a few solar panels or should we go with the sparrow eye for our team?

[@chris74ify]

So what's the verdict? Pros and cons?😁

[@gigilaroux762]

Hi can the Condor XL hold a condensation mat in addition to the included 2.3” mat and a bulky sleeping bag and pillows when you close it down?

[@sworks7124]

How do you make sure no one can take these tents off your car while hiking?

[@JM1701ABCD]

I doubt someone is going to take the time to pull up to our car, un mount it, and drive away. It's easier to break your window and steal what's inside.

I would like to mount one on top of a Toyota sienna , such as cutting the roof out of the van and mounting this roof nest on top. Do you have info on doing that or even a video available to watch that ? thanks BTW, If you want to use my 08 sienna xle as a model for a White Sparrow roof nest. So cut out roof of sienna , frame that can hold the roof nest and then cut out the bottom of the roof nest to have stand up room, and to place a bed on top.

I'm interested in mounting this on top of a fiberglass shell of my Nissan Frontier. I am concerned about weight issues. Being this is 140 lbs plus two people can my set up work for 400 lbs total.

[@gdamsumar1]

Are those brackets work with Yakima round bars?

[@Smi77y1]

Did you find an answer? I imagine you could just buy longer bolts if you had to?

[@anonymousjoel]

I had the same question what kind of Yakima bars will this work with

[@JayL781]

So I'm thinking about purchasing one of these I want the biggest one they have but I will be putting it on a 2017 Toyota Corolla that is lowered do you think there'd be any issues with me getting the biggest one?

[@bryman31]

yes. i dont think the cars dynamic rating (weight while in motion) will allow for a 160 lbs roof tent.

[@kimhodgeson3203]

Install was easy and I have a question... how do you stop the whistle noise while driving? Is there a deflector shield for the front of my vehicle, maybe???

[@jarcidiacono1]

got to be the racks

[@kimhodgeson3203]

@@jarcidiacono1 I have the end caps in there as instructed. The rubber on the open slides. The noise is annoying to say the least.

[@jarcidiacono1]

@@kimhodgeson3203 ah dang that stinks! There’s got to be someone that’s solved it, have you checked out their Facebook group/forum?

[@kimhodgeson3203]

I’m not on FB! Thank you James!

[@jarcidiacono1]

@@kimhodgeson3203 ah ok, also this might help, I got off the phone with a guy from Roofnest earlier he mentioned many people put fairings on their roof to break the wind around the rack - maybe check that out?

[@SDpadresFan619]

I have a 2017 Chrysler 300c & want to buy one of these. But I’m not sure what roof rack to install on my car. Can anyone recommend a roof rack that can hold up to 400 LBs ? I want to sleep 2 people plus the weight of the sparrow. Replies would be appreciated

[@jessmindrup]

what cross bars are on this jeep renegade

[@roundmoundofsound835]

Will this work on a 2005 Volvo XC70?

[@greylongwell9625]

can i just mount this directly to my roof rails instead of using crossbars?

[@jarcidiacono1]

interesting, what was the answer to that question

[@dootscat3798]

What model was that and weight? Thanks

[@wquon2007]

looks like the sparrow, 130 lbs

[@CurrentJAM]

The hardware flexes when tightening, I'm not sure how snuggly it should be.

[@djdujour1168]

Thanks Tim. Helpful video.

[@pabloflores962]

Condor overland latch install????????????

[@chris74ify]

How much for installing and cross bars for 2014 xterra?

[@Roofnest]

Hi Chris - we do installs for $100 in Boulder, CO and we sell crossbars that will work on your xterra for $170. Hit us up at [e-mail]!

[@chris74ify]

@@Roofnest been looking for a while...anyd discounts or sales...

[@DHaworth100]

It's unfortunate they don't have installation centers.

[@pnw_element9822]

I need one of these

[@Richardgreenmusic.]

Easy peazy

[@thejarj]

This roof rack will not support the weight safely. You need to make sure your customers ae properly schooled regarding tent support.

[@jedgens1]

Why? Multiple videos show people using and enjoying their roofnest. If unsafe let me know how and it may influence my decision on a purchase or type of crossbars.
