How to Remove Your Rooftop Tent in Under 5 Minutes

If you own a rooftop tent, you already know the struggle: what should be a quick weekend adventure turns into a 30-minute fight with bolts, wrenches, and sore shoulders. Whether you’re trying to take your tent off for the workweek or put it back on before a trip, the process can be a real buzzkill. 

But here’s the truth: removing your rooftop tent doesn’t have to be a hassle. With the right setup, you can go from “fully mounted” to “completely off your vehicle” in under five minutes. 

Let’s break down how. 

 

The Problem With Traditional Rooftop Tent Mounts 

  • Time-consuming: Standard mounts require tools and multiple bolts.
  • Awkward lifting: Rooftop tents aren’t light — you often need two (or three) people to help. 
  • Storage headache: Once it’s off your vehicle, where do you put it? 

This means that for many people, the tent stays on the car way longer than it should — even when it kills fuel economy and adds road noise. 

 

The Quick Release Mount Solution

 

That’s where Vanultra Quick Release Mounts come in. 

  • No tools required: Detach your tent in under 60 seconds. 
  • Universal fit: Works with most racks and rooftop tents. 
  • Durable: Engineered to handle off-road abuse and all-weather conditions. 

Think of it like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone — once you try it, you’ll never go back. 

 

The Best Way to Store Your Rooftop Tent 

Taking your tent off fast is great — but where it goes afterward is just as important. A ceiling hoist lets you lift and store your rooftop tent neatly in your garage, keeping it safe and ready for the next trip. 

 

Step-by-Step: Removing Your Tent in Under 5 Minutes 

  1. Release - Open the quick release mounts.
  2. Lift - The tent pops free without wrestling bolts.
  3. Store Smart - Use a ceiling hoist to keep it out of the way.

That’s it. Seriously. No more sweat, no more stripped threads. 


 

Final Thoughts 

If camping is supposed to be about freedom, why start it off by wrestling with bolts? By upgrading to a quick release system, you’ll spend less time setting up and more time actually enjoying the outdoors.
