I remind you that you can refer to the question (1:2 and 1:3) which specify the difference between rolling and stationary weight. The fact that your car is sold in France, it must absolutely be able to support its own weight in the event of a total overturning of the vehicle.

Yes, and our customers won't tell you otherwise! The floor is firm and solid which allows for a very flat sleeping surface, the living space is spacious and airy thanks to its windows on each side. The mattress is made of 7cm thick high density foam.

You can sleep comfortably in a roof tent in low temperatures, for this you will need to be equipped with a suitable sleeping bag. The plus? You sleep high up; you are therefore above the humidity.

The roof tent leads to a 5 to 10% increase in fuel consumption, but since you will be driving more slowly, this difference is only very rarely visible at the pump.

All car ranges can accommodate a roof tent. You will need to equip your vehicle with roof bars that can support the weight of the folded tent, i.e. a minimum of 57kg for the swisskings 140 and the James Baroud, 62kg for the Swisskings 160 and 87kg for the swisskings 190. For more information see question 1.2 and 1.3. PS: Do not confuse the maximum weight authorized by your roof bars while driving, which is calculated with the maximum speed authorized by your roof bars (very often 110km/h, and, the maximum authorized weight of your roof bars when stationary (which is rarely indicated).

All vehicles sold in France are tested to be able to support their own weight in the event of a total rollover, so it can more than support your weight with the roof bars installed correctly.

There are two scenarios: Vehicles with original longitudinal roof bars and vehicles without. For vehicles with longitudinal roof bars, you will need to check the weight supported by them, as in some cases they may only be decorative. If they are strong enough, you can easily install transverse roof bars on your longitudinal roof bars. For vehicles without longitudinal roof bars, it's easier, obviously take roof bars that can support the weight of the tent while driving (minimum 75kg). Some vehicles are equipped with notches, be careful, you need a minimum of 70cm between the notches for the roof tent to be well balanced on the roof bars. And don't forget to check: -How much weight can your original longitudinal roof bars support? -Can the transverse roof bars you install be spaced at least 70 cm apart?

Yes, it is quite possible but everything will depend on the model of roof tent chosen and the type of roof rack. Do not hesitate to send us photos of your galleries so that we can guide you in your choices. For the trailer, it is also possible to put the roof tent on it, however you will need to have the appropriate fixings.

Our roof tents are all compatible with vans and trucks but not with motorhomes. To do this, you just need roof bars compatible with your vehicle or a roof rack without raising the edges, which can support the weight of the tent. Remember that the weights indicated on the characteristics of the roof bars are always the weight when driving at the maximum speed authorized by the manufacturer of the roof bars.

While French law does not distinguish between wild camping and bivouacs, national and regional parks do so almost systematically. To be legal, you will therefore, in most cases, have to opt for the second option. Unlike wild camping, bivouac is practiced under the stars or in a tent, with a basic camp, and for 1 night only, from sunset to sunrise. Bivouacs and wild camping in France are authorized wherever they are not prohibited! Inquire, go and camp where you want :)

See question 5.5

Where you want; France offers you a multitude of road trips of all kinds; the sea, the mountains, the countryside, the forest, the lakes and even a gastronomic holiday if you want to titillate your taste buds, but if that's not enough you could head for the Italian dolce vita, the Spanish vida loca, the purity of Swiss nature and wherever the wind takes you.

No, smoking is not allowed inside the roof tent.

Yes, for hygiene reasons Buena Onda does not offer bedding during rentals. Each person will need to bring their sleeping gear, pillows, sheets, duvet or sleeping bag. Not to mention that your belongings can stay in the folded roof tent, which saves a lot of space.

We clean and disinfect all our roof tents between each reservation with sanitole spray which eliminates 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, it is used in the hotel industry for mattresses. For the rest of the tent, a karcher steam cleaner will be used.

You use your vehicle, so you are covered by your insurance in the event of an accident according to your insurance contract, except in the case where it is the roof tent that damages property or a person.< /p> There is exterior vehicle equipment insurance if you want to be insured against this risk. You can take out this type of insurance if you wish, but since the roof tent does not extend beyond the front, back and sides of the vehicle, the remaining scenario concerns the risk associated with height. This is why we measure the height of the vehicle with the roof tent folded down before you leave. To protect us from this kind of unfortunate oversight, the rental contract mentions that Buena Onda is not responsible in the event of an accident.
