Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tepui roof top tent?
A tepui roof top tent is a vehicle-mounted tent originally designed by Tepui Tents, now owned by Thule. Tepui was one of the original rooftop tent brands in America and helped popularize the concept of sleeping elevated on your vehicle. When Thule acquired Tepui in 2018, the product line was integrated under the Thule Tepui brand. Today, thule tepui rooftop tent models include the Basin hardshell, the Approach soft shell, and the Foothill compact tent. Some older models like the tepui kukenam and thule tepui autana 3 are sold out but may return.
What is the best Thule roof top tent?
For fast setup and dual-use functionality, the Thule Basin ($2,999.95) deploys in under 60 seconds and converts to a cargo carrier when you are not camping. For best ventilation and value, the Thule Approach M ($2,699.95) delivers panoramic windows with exceptional airflow. For the most compact, space-saving design, the Thule Foothill ($2,099.95) sits low and shares rack space with other accessories. All three are quality thule rooftop tents backed by Thule's 2-year warranty.
Will Thule products fit my vehicle?
Thule products are designed for a massive range of vehicles. Thule roof racks and cross bars are available for specific year, make, and model combinations including Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, RAV4, Subaru Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Jeep Wrangler, Ford F150, Bronco, and hundreds more. Thule truck racks fit most pickup beds. Thule cargo boxes and bike racks mount to any compatible cross bar system. If you are not sure whether a specific Thule product fits your vehicle, call us at 844-200-3979 and we will verify compatibility before you order.
How do you pronounce Thule?
Thule is pronounced "TOO-lee." The name comes from Ultima Thule, an ancient term for the northernmost part of the known world. It reflects the brand's Swedish heritage and their mission to help people explore the great outdoors no matter where in the world they are.
What warranty does Thule offer?
Thule offers a 2-year warranty on Thule Tepui roof top tents covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Thule roof racks, cargo carriers, and bike racks carry a limited lifetime warranty. Thule will repair or replace products with valid warranty claims. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, overloading, or failure to install according to Thule's instructions.
Can I mount a Thule tent on a non-Thule rack?
Yes. Thule Tepui roof top tents come with universal mounting brackets that work with most aftermarket roof racks and cross bars, not just Thule racks. If you are installing on a Thule TracRac or Xsporter Pro with at least a 32" bar spread, you will need the Thule adapter kit Xadapt 14. For other rack brands like Front Runner, Prinsu, Rhino-Rack, and Eezi-Awn K9, standard mounting hardware typically works. Always check the Thule Rooftop Tent Guidelines before purchase to confirm compatibility.
Does Thule make products besides roof top tents?
Yes. Thule offers a diverse range of products far beyond tepui tents. The Thule product line includes roof racks and cross bars (WingBar Evo, SquareBar), cargo boxes and cargo carriers (Motion 3, Vector, Force XT, Canyon XT basket), bike racks (UpRide, Apex XT, Range, T2 Pro), truck bed racks (TracRac TracOne, TracRac SR, Xsporter Pro), awnings (OutLand, OverCast, HideAway), kayak carriers (Hull-a-Port), and accessories. Thule also makes backpacks, luggage, strollers, and camera cases. At Off Road Tents, we focus on the overlanding and outdoor adventure side of the Thule lineup.
What happened to Tepui Tents?
Tepui Tents was acquired by Thule Group in 2018. The Tepui brand was one of the pioneers of roof top tent camping in North America. After the acquisition, the product line was rebranded as Thule Tepui. Some original Tepui models like the Kukenam and Autana continue under the Thule Tepui name, while newer models like the Basin and Approach represent ground-up Thule designs. The tepui tent legacy lives on through every thule tepui tent in the current lineup.
