Frequently Asked Questions – Thule Widesky Rooftop Tent
Q: How fast is setup and takedown?
A: Incredibly fast. Just release the buckles and lift—the gas-assisted struts do the rest. No fabric tucking or folding required. Packing down is just as easy.
Q: Can I mount the ladder on any side of the tent?
A: Yes. The ladder is fully side-swappable and mounts to any of the four edges. It stores neatly in a padded multi-use bag that doubles as an interior organiser while camping.
Q: Is this tent good for all seasons?
A: Absolutely. Thule Widesky is rated for four-season use. The weatherproof hardshell, insulated ceiling, and breathable ripstop fabric are built to handle year-round Canadian conditions.
Q: How much weight can the tent hold?
A: The static weight capacity is 300 kg (660 lbs), which easily supports two adults and gear.
Q: What vehicles will it fit on?
A: The Widesky is lightweight and low-profile, making it compatible with most vehicles—SUVs, trucks, crossovers, and even sedans. You’ll need a roof rack with at least 70 cm bar spread and a dynamic load rating over 67 kg.
Q: Is it compatible with Thule Xsporter or TracRac systems?
A: Yes, but you’ll need Thule Adapter Kit Xadapt 14 (sold separately) to mount it securely to those rack platforms.
Q: Can I use a power bank for the lights?
A: Yes. The two integrated LED lights are USB-powered and work with any standard portable power bank (not included).
Q: What makes this different from other rooftop tents?
A: Thule Widesky blends the fast setup of a wedge-style hardshell with a premium interior—foldable sofa mattress, panoramic views, and top-tier materials. It’s more than just a place to sleep, it’s a place to relax.
Q: Can I buy this online and have it shipped?
A: Yes. Cap-it ships rooftop tents across Canada. If you’re near one of our stores in BC or Alberta, you can also choose in-store pickup and installation.
