Cover too small and does not fit

published

Bought our Kings roof top tent two weeks ago and have put it on our car. So far so good, except for when we try to put the cover on and it doesn’t fit and has already ripped in places. Off the roof it has come. Slightly disappointed as we are trying to get away this weekend and it’s not possible without a cover fitted

Purchased in February 2021.

Tight Cover, otherwise good so far.

published

Tent appears good quality. Floor is starting to compress, not sure of this floor material in the longer term. The early let down is a cover which is way to tight with a poor quality zip making the pack up hard work even without bedding. Cover is already damaged as a result. Mattress is a bit thin but not a big issue. On the positive, quick to set up, very weather proof and cool when hot. We’ve spent three weeks in it so far continuously.

Dangerous Tent Exploded Open On Freeay At 110km During A Storm

published

Dangerous, tent exploded open while driving 110km down freeway in high winds in the middle of the night in a storm. Yes it was strapped on and the zip ripped right off. Yes it was as crazy as it sounds and the ladder smashed through my rear window shattering the glass scaring the absolute bejeezus out of us as we were driving along. Had to struggle to fold tent back closed in heavy winds which was wild as it kept blowing back open again in the storm with me on the roof and my friend at the back, nearly knocked her out: meanwhile trucks blasting past us. All this one month after the warranty expired. Not to mention the previous bending of the steel structure. I took it straight to the tip after this as it was completely destroyed.

Kings roof top tent

published

I bought a roof top tent 2 weeks ago never used it since after the first night it rained and everything got drenched mattress and bedding not happy a t all. Also the waterproof bag was and is way to tight all for corners of the bag have ripped due to the tighness and the sharp edges of the alloy edges of the tent itself. All bad things aside the only good thing I found was a quick set up.

Purchased in August 2021 at 4x4 supercentre for $650.00.

Somewhat disappointed

published

We were do excited to get our new Kjngs Roof top tent and have used for 3 months straight with a trip.
Overall reasonable structure but does not cope with too much rain. Our first night of rain, the front corners of our mattress were saturated.
We chose to try to waterproof it ourselves with a spray. It has helped but still not ideal.
We understand you pay for what you get ! The last South African built roof topper cost us $1200 and it was the ‘duck nuts’ !
So in conclusion, great little roof topper for the money but don’t expect miracles !

Best thing we bought so far

published

Perfect. We had in approx 2hrs on our first use rain hail extreme wind then sunshine and it stood up to the test and everything inside stayed warm and dry . Lots of room inside and easy to set up and packup . Would recommend to anyone anyday :)

Not suitable in dusty conditions

published

We used our roof top tent in the out back recently, in very dusty conditions. We found the zippers that connect cover are too fine and collect dust, which makes them very difficult to use. Also found a lot of condensation under the mattress. We are definitely looking for better options

Kings Weekender roof top tent is extremely well made, the seams are totally water proof, the canvas is strong, and the eze of erection is so simple, 30 seconds. The roof top tent stood up to winds gusts of 70klms, heavy torrential driving rain, not one drop entered weekender roof top tent,
The zips are strong and easy to operate, the window awnings are well placed letting breeze in, rain out, the construction is tough..The price online is the cheapest I've seen

Hi Kellie,

Ladder holds around 1 persons weight at a time. The ladder can safely hold up to 150kgs with someone climbing in. Yes you can buy a new mattress from us if you want to change the current one. If youd like to get more details on that, feel free to email me on [email protected]

Cheers,
Saleha =)

Hi Kellie, I weigh 86kg and did not feel confident on the ladder (in fact it broke before I’d even set foot on it). However, I bought a telescopic ladder from 4WD Supacentre - I think it cost about $50 or so - and that ladder is fantastic. The installation was simple - 2 small “L” brackets from Bunnings for about $6 and a couple of rivets, and it has resolved the issue. The tent is fantastic value for the money and the mattress is pretty comfortable, although if you really needed to you could upgrade (or place a thin condensed foam mattress - think old style camping mat - under the existing mattress). Happy camping!

Robert S.asked

Thinking of getting the Adventure Kings fold out roof top tent, and I have been doing some research and nowhere does it say what the weight capacity of the ladder is. My concern is that if I climb the ladder, that it may snap and I'd injure myself. My weight is 160kg and I'm 6ft 2. My partners weight is 70 so together we weigh 230kg. will the tent even hold that? Please could you guys give me a straight forward answer as to what the actual limit is of the tent? Also, what's the go with the bad waterproofing? Has that been fixed or is it still ongoing?
Thank you
Rob

Did you ever try this out? That's my same question as between my partner and I we are 240kgs.

I ended up buying the product and has worked well so far for us.However, with the ladder being aluminum and I have trust issues woth that, I use 2 rope straps on each end and tighten them together so the 2 halves don't give way. I probably don't need to but for safety same, it works well. Definitely worth the buy though!

Adventure Kings
Paul R.Adventure Kings

Hi Robert,

The folded out part is held up by the ladder and partially by the roof rack.
The roof top tents don't have a set weight limit - it all depends on the load bearing capacity of your roof and roof racks. The ladder can safely hold up to 150kgs with someone climbing in - however when you are in the tent sleeping you are not on the folded out part, but at the other end of the tent which holds alot more weight as it is supported by the roof and rack.
If you need any more information, feel free to email me on [email protected]

Saleha
