Car Top Carrier

Are The Car Top Carriers Waterproof?
We strive to design car top carriers with features that keep your gear dry. We offer car top carrier bags in three levels of weather protection.

100% Waterproof - The Sport Car Top Carriers are made from PVC Mesh and Hydrodtuff Material which are welded together to form a watertight seam. Any stitching on the Hydrotuff Material is covered on the back side by a waterproof patch. In addition, the ZipRight System positions a urethane coated zipper on the protective flap of the cargo bag. The Sport Car Top Carriers provide the best weather protection of any carrier on the market today.

Weatherproof - The Edge Car Top Carriers are made from PVC Mesh and constructed with welded seams. They feature a standard zipper with a Velcro-close zipper flap. It is remotely possible for water to enter the bag through the zipper.

Water Resistant - The Ace Car Top Carriers are made from Hydrotuff Material which is sewn together. The Ace Car Top Carriers feature a standard zipper with a zipper flap. It is possible for water to enter the carrier through the zipper or the seams.

Are The Car Top Carriers Made From Quality Materials?
The cargo bags are made from PVC Mesh, PVC Coated Mesh, or Hydrotuff Material. These great looking materials stand up extremely well to the abuse taken while riding on top of a vehicle. Both the nylon and polypropylene straps used to secure the PackRight carriers perform better and have a higher safety rating that the polypropylene straps that come with most other carriers.

Can I Use The Car Clips On My Vehicle?
The Car Clips attach to most vehicles under the weather molding that is around the door frame. Please read the Car Clips Directions page for more details. Most vehicles are able to utilize these clips.

What Is The Weight Limit For The Luggage Carriers?
Generally, the car carrier weight limit is determined by your vehicle’s luggage rack rating. Please check your owners manual or contact your local dealer to be sure. Most vehicles are rated at around 100 lbs.

How Many Suitcases Can Each Of Your Luggage Carriers Hold?
It is hard to say as this answer depends on the size of your suitcases. We recommend getting a tape measure and marking out an area on the floor the size of the car top carrier. Lay your suitcases over this area, checking the height as you go. You can visually gain a good feel for the capacity of the cargo bags using this method.

Car Back Luggage Carrier

What Is Necessary To Use The Cargo Saddlebag?
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.

How Long Are The Straps That Attach The Cargo Saddlebag To The Back Of The Vehicle?
The straps closest to the vehicle measure 101"L from where they leave the bag to the end that goes through the male part of the buckle. The straps farthest from the vehicle measure 18" from where they leave the bag to where they attach to the female buckle. So, the distance that the straps can extend above the cargo bag is just under 5’. Some vehicles have roof rack cross bars that are positioned forward from the rear of the vehicle. In this case, the Cargo Saddlebag may not be able to sit on top of the bumper when attached to the cross bars (this type of mounting does not present any problems as long as the driver’s rear view is not completely blocked).

Will The Cargo Saddlebag Scratch The Paint On The Rear Of My Vehicle?
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 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.

Do I Need A Trailer Hitch To Attach The Lower Straps?
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.

Truck Tent

How Do I Pick The Correct Truck Tent For My Truck?
Please reference our Truck Tent Sizing Guide to find your truck. Be careful as some models have changed tent sizing from year to year and some models have different lengths within the same model year. Then, measure the inside length of your truck bed with the tailgate up to double check that you have the correct size. You will notice that each of the truck tents reference a truck bed length. Please contact us with any questions on sizing that you may have.

I Can’t Find My Truck On The Sizing Guide. Is There A Truck Tent For It?
We are sorry, but all models of trucks will not have a tent for truck. If you do not see your model listed, chances are there is no truck tent available. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you are unsure.

How Difficult Is It To Set Up A Rightline Gear Truck Tent?
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 much as 30 minutes, but after that it should be around 15 minutes. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have any questions concerning your set up.

Will The Truck Tent Keep Me Dry?
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. The rain fly is rated at pu1800 with sealed seams and the bottom of the main tent is rated at pu3000.

Is The Truck Tent Fireproof?
The tent meets the fire resistant requirements of CPAI84, the industry standard for tents. Our truck tent also meets Health Canada's Consumer Product Safety Program's Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations.

Is The Truck Tent UV Treated?
Yes. The dark gray part of the main tent and the rain fly have been treated with a UV protectant (UPF 50).

What Are The Material Specs Of The Truck Tent?
The dark gray bottom portion of the main tent is 210D, 115T.
The dark gray and light gray upper portion of the main tent are 68D, 190T.
The rain fly is 68D, 190T.

Will The Truck Tent Damage My Truck’s Paint Job?
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.

Will The Truck Tent Fit Around My Truck Accessories?
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-Truck 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. If your roll bar is low in height and does not extend over the walls of the truck bed, please contact us with your specs and we will try to let you know if a truck tent will work.

Tonneau Covers-Truck tents won't work with solid tonneau covers unless you remove them. A truck tent can work with a soft tonneau cover if the cover can roll 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 be still possible to use with a truck tent. In this case, you would connect the front two red inner straps together and run the second set of red inner straps to the corner cleats in the truck bed. Send us a photo of your truck bed if you have any questions.

Can You Drive With A Truck Tent Set Up?
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.

SUV Tent

Will The SUV Tent Fit My Vehicle?
The Rightline Gear SUV Tents ‘alligator clamping 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 any vehicle with a rear hatch.

What If My Vehicle's Rear Door Opens Out Instead Of Up?
No problem. The vehicle’s door will extend into the middle of the main tent room. You will have to watch your head when getting up in the middle of the night. The SUV tent’s vehicle sleeve will strap to the roof rack of the vehicle. If no roof rack, use the longer straps provided to clip the vehicle’s ‘alligator clamping sleeve’ to the vehicle’s wind shield wipers.

Can The SUV Tent Be Used As A Stand Alone Tent?
Yes, simply zip the door that leads to the vehicle closed and secure the vehicle sleeve to the side of the main tent using the dowel and loop fasteners. This feature allows the SUV tent to be used as a large family camping tent separate from a vehicle. You also have the flexibility to have use of your vehicle during the day and return to connect it to the SUV tent in the evening.

How Many People Does It Take To Set Up The SUV Tent?
The Rightline Gear SUV Tent can definitely be set up by one person. We recommend two, however, considering that you need to back up a vehicle into the tent before connecting the vehicle sleeve - a spotter always helps. Because of its size, the SUV tent is fairly heavy and will require a little bit of effort to raise the poles as well.
