Hello everyone.
I'm a new member to this forum after deciding to get a Tepui Autana Sky.
The current question is: What rack should I get to support this tent?
My 2014 Ford Escape has a naked roof. I will be using the tent mainly has a simple car-camping base for hiking and mountain biking trips. I will also be using the tent and annex as a sort of "pit stop" for some of the long-distance mountain bike races that I do. I will not be off-roading or doing and backcountry driving in order to get to camp.
I reached out to a local rack dealer in order to get a quote for a rack. The quote was incredibly high, and the actually rack set-up itself seemed a bit overkill for my needs.
Attached is a picture of what they did with a ford escape.
Based on my needs, would anyone be able to suggest something simpler, like a simple q-tower type set-up? Would I be able to use the clip-on style clamps made by yakima and thule? Or is something like this quite necessary?
Thanks for your help!
