Locking a Roof top Tent to roof bars

[Jeanne Gallagher]

Hi there,

Apologies if this has been covered before on this forum but can't find anything about it!
I have an Eezi-Awn series 3 1600 tent (which is great by the way if anyone undecided about what model to buy). But a friend of mine had his stolen off his 4x4 whilst it was parked outside his apt... and now I am worried.

Any suggestions as to how it could be locked onto the roofbars? It is on Thule bars on a Toyota Hilux. Yes I could take it off when it is not being used but it is heavy and awkard to move...

Thanks alot

Get locks for all the Thule feet (if you do not already have them), and get TuffNuts to secure the tent to the crossbars. We have been selling TuffNut kits for several years and have never had a customer who had a tent stolen... that's several thousand customers.
