Frequently Asked Questions

You can use the cargo saddlebag if you have a distance of 40" between your rear tail lights on vehicles WITH or WITHOUT a roof rack. The saddlebag car clips (purchased separately) can be used to attach the cargo saddlebag to vehicles without a roof rack.

you will also want to check the distance between your bumper and the top of the rear window. The cargo saddlebag is 28" H. Make sure that you will be able to see out of the rear window with the cargo bag attached.

The long side straps measure 101" L from where they leave the bag to their ends. The short side straps measure 18" L from where they leave the bag to where they attach to the female buckles. So, the distance that the straps can extend above the cargo bag is just under 5".

Some vehicles have roof racks that are mounted forward from the rear of the vehicle. In this case, the cargo saddlebag may need to be suspended above the bumper for its straps to reach the roof rack. This higher mounting does not present any problems as long as the driver’s rear view is not completely blocked by the carrier. If your vehicle’s roof rack is too far forward, you can use the saddlebag car clips to attach the carrier to the gap between your rear hatch door and roof.

No. The bottom pole frame does a great job of providing the needed support. Whatever you place in the bag, however, will give the bag its overall shape. You need to plan your packing to completely fill the bag. Rightline Gear recommends that suitcases be placed in first, straddling both bottom poles. Place items with hard edges in the middle and pack softer items around them.

No. The saddlebag is held tightly in place by its straps. The cargo bag does not move around on the back of the vehicle and will not mark the paint. The straps that go to the roof of the vehicle ride on the pads that are designed to keep the straps from rubbing on the corner of the roof. The Rightline Gear Non-Skid Roof Pad can be placed between the cargo saddlebag and the vehicle as an extra precaution.

No. The lower straps can be attached around, below or behind the vehicle’s bumper. Usually, the part of the vehicle’s frame that extends to the bumper is a great place to attach the straps.

Measure the inside length of your truck bed with the tailgate up. You will notice that each of the truck tents reference a truck bed length. Be careful as some truck models have changed tent sizing from year to year and some truck models are available in different lengths within the same model year.

With the color coded poles and pole pockets and the directions sewn into the stuff sack (with lots of pictures), most people have a pretty easy time setting up the truck tent. The first time out it may take as long as 30 minutes, but after that it should be around 15 minutes.

Absolutely. The tent is designed so that all surfaces go around the outside of the truck bed, therefore, it is impossible for water to run inside the bed. All fabric is rated at 2000mm PU and the tent is constructed with tape sealed seams. A rainfly is included as well.

The tent meets the fire-resistant requirements of CPAI84, the industry standard for tents. Rightline Gear truck tent also meets Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Program’s Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations.

Yes. All tent materials and the rainfly have been treated with a UV-protectant (UPF 50).

No, the tent straps and buckles are made from materials that do not scratch the truck’s finish under normal use. The tent for truck is designed with the minimum number of straps to secure the tent over the bed. There are no exposed metal parts in the truck tent design.

Bed Liner - Yes. Bed liners are easy to clean and don't interfere with a Rightline Gear truck tent set up in any way.

Tool Box - ruck tents will not fit over tool boxes that extend over the truck bed walls. Tool boxes that fit in between the truck bed walls do not present any problem. Sometimes, a crew cab tent will fit a standard size truck with a tool box, etc. The front lip of the truck tent will overlap the top of the tool box. The rain will run down the tent onto the top of the tool box and off the front or sides. Subtract the width of your tool box from the overall bed length with the tailgate up to see if there is a truck tent size that will work for you.

Railings - Truck tents will fit on trucks with side railings up to 3" high. If the railings are over 3" high, they will lift the base of the truck tent too far away from the top of the bed walls, allowing the potential for wind or water to come inside the tent.

Rollbars - Truck tents usually won't fit over roll bars, especially if they interfere with the truck bed walls.

Tonneau Covers - Truck tents won't work with tonneau covers that extend over the bed rails. A truck tent can work with a tonneau cover if the cover can roll or fold back and fit between the truck bed side walls. If the cover extends over the side walls of the bed when rolled back, but has a low height, it may still be possible to use with a truck tent.

Not on public roads. Maybe around your campsite a short distance - 5 mph max. If the truck’s muffler gets hot, you can definitely run into a safety issue.

The Rightline Gear SUV tent’s vehicle sleeve features separate lower and upper halves that come together in a clamping action. The sleeve is not a circle with a set circumference. This design allows the tent’s vehicle sleeve to conform to the rear of many different sized vehicles.

No problem. The vehicle’s door will extend into the main tent room. Sleep with your feet towards the SUV to keep from hitting your head in the middle of the night. Rightline Gear is slightly concerned that in a heavy rain storm, water may pool on the upper vehicle sleeve between the (2) barn doors (depending on how much tension exists on the upper sleeve fabric). As a precaution, the company would recommend placing a piece of plywood (or other hard material) over top of the two doors. The wood would keep the water flowing off of the vehicle sleeve under even the heaviest of rains. The SUV tent’s vehicle sleeve will strap to the roof rack of the vehicle. If no roof rack, use the extension straps to attach the vehicle sleeve to the vehicle’s wind shield wipers.

Yes, simply zip the door that leads to the vehicle closed and secure the vehicle sleeve to the side of the tent using the dowel and loop fasteners. You have the flexibility to use your vehicle during the day and then connect it to the SUV tent in the evening.

The Rightline Gear SUV Tent can definitely be set up by one person. The company recommends two, however, considering that you need to back up a vehicle into the tent before connecting the vehicle sleeve - a spotter always helps. A second set of hands helps with the large size of the tent as well.

Yes, the SUV tent has been designed with many features to keep water out. First, the tent fabric itself is treated to be water resistant, 2000mm PU. The wall and floor seams are tape sealed and the tent’s PE bathtub floor wraps up around the sides. The zippers have fabric zipper covers. A rainfly is provided for an additional level of water protection.

The tent meets the fire resistant requirements of CPAI84, the industry standard for tents. Rightline Gear SUV Tent also meets Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Program’s Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations.

Yes. All tent materials have been treated with a UV protectant (UPF 50).

The SUV tent goes around pickup trucks with caps the same way it goes around standard SUVs, minivans, crossovers, and wagons. The rear window of the truck cap raises up and is held in place by the tent’s lower sleeve strap (strap E in the setup guide). The orange straps inside the tent (straps F and G in the setup guide) attach to the corner cleats inside the truck bed (and to the license plate below the tailgate). If the truck cap does not have a roof rack, use the extension straps to attach the upper sleeve to the truck’s wind shield wipers. The lowered tailgate will extend only a small amount into the tent.

The bathtub floor is 120G/m² PE.

The wall material is 68D polyester.

The rainfly material is 68D polyester.

The top and side poles are fiberglass, 11mm and 12.5mm diameter.

Yes, unlike many other tents of this type, Rightline Gear Pop Up Tent is not a toy. It can be used on real camping expeditions and will keep you dry. There is plenty of room inside for two adults or multiple children.

Yes, Rightline Gear setup guide is sewn right into the stuff sack of the pop up tent so that you will never lose it. It includes many color photos to give you a step-by-step walk through the process.

No, the pop up tent has been designed with many features to keep water out. First, the tent fabric itself is treated to be water resistant, 2000mm PU (just like rainfly material). The seams are tape sealed and the tent features a PE floor so that a ground tarp is unnecessary. The zippers have fabric zipper covers and are tape sealed on the backside.

The tent meets the fire resistant requirements of CPAI84, the industry standard for tents. Rightline Gear pop up tent also meets Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Program’s Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations.

Yes. The dark gray and light gray materials have been treated with a UV protectant (UPF 50).

The floor is 120G/m² PE material. The dark gray and light gray upper portion of the tent is 68D polyester. The inner frame structure is fiberglass.

The Jeep storage bags are made from PVC Coated Mesh and constructed with welded seams, which form a watertight seal. They feature urethane coated zippers which are positioned so that water will run over the top of them. It is almost impossible for water to enter through the zippers when attached to the Jeep. If the bags are off of the Jeep and water is allowed to pool over the zippers, it is possible for it to enter the bags.

Yes. The Jeep storage bags can function like duffle bags when not attached to the Jeep. Handles and/or handle straps allow you to carry the bags wherever you want to go. If you want to use these bags to primarily carry clothing, shoes, toiletry kits, etc., they can easily replace a suitcase or overnight bag. Take them out of the Jeep to load them up and keep them attached to the Jeep for as long as you want.

Yes, but it can easily block your view of the road when in the horizontal position. Rightline Gear leaves the option of horizontal mounting up to you and your good judgment.

The trunk storage bag has hard plastic shelves that attach by hook and loop to the horizontal dividers. The shelves provide structure and support for the bag in these compartments. Rightline Gear recommends a maximum weight of 20 lbs. in each upper compartment if there is nothing in the lower compartments. If the lower compartments are full, the upper compartments can hold a much higher amount of weight.
