Roof Top Tent

My Family and I are very happy with our new roof top tent.  We plan to never camp on the ground again.

This tent is exactly the same as the ARB Simpson II.  Mounting to the ARB touring rack is a little tough because the rack mounts so close to the roof.

Roof Top Tent Awning Mount

I wanted to keep my rack neat looking so I bought a mount that's designed to fit ARB racks. One problem; it was designed for different brand of awning. 
I bought this mount from Amazon.


As you can see in the photos the mounts had to be installed upside down. This was no problem because the tent base cleared the u-bolts with out cutting.



I needed to drill one new hole in each mount to match my awning.
