Accessories and Compatibility for the RoofBunk Adventurer

The RoofBunk Adventurer is built with universal mounting channels and standardised fixing points, allowing easy integration with a wide range of roof bars, awnings, and comfort accessories.
This guide explains compatible products, fitting requirements, and maintenance best practices to maximise performance and reliability.


Roof Bar Requirements

The Adventurer requires two parallel roof bars rated for a dynamic load of at least 75 kg.

Recommended setup:

  • Crossbar spacing between 70–95 cm.

  • T-slot aluminium or steel bars for easiest hardware installation.

  • Torque all fittings evenly to ensure the shell base remains level.

Check all mounting bolts after your first 100 km of travel and periodically thereafter.


Ladder and Access Accessories

The tent includes a telescopic aluminium ladder, which can be adjusted for various vehicle heights.
Optional accessories include:

  • RoofBunk Ladder Extension Kit – adds reach for lifted 4x4s or tall vans.

  • Anti-Slip Ladder Mat – provides stable footing on gravel or grass.

  • Replacement Ladder Kit – ideal for regular users or commercial setups.

The ladder mounts securely to the shell base using the supplied bracket, supporting up to 150 kg safely.


Awnings and Shelter Options

Thanks to its aluminium frame and low-profile side rails, the Adventurer works with both RoofBunk and universal awnings.
Compatible examples:

  • RoofBunk Side Awning 2.0 / 2.5 m – quick-deploy shade and rain shelter.

  • RoofBunk Wing Awning 270° – wrap-around design for wider coverage.

  • RoofBunk Awning Room Kit – creates enclosed ground space under the awning.

Awnings must be attached to the vehicle’s roof bars rather than directly to the tent body, preserving the shell’s integrity and gas strut alignment.


Power and Lighting

The Adventurer’s rigid shell and interior rails provide stable mounting points for portable power systems and lighting setups.
Recommended compatible items include:

  • LED Strip Light Kit (12V or USB) – attaches to the roof liner.

  • RoofBunk Power Bank (12V / USB) – ideal for charging lights or small devices.

  • Foldable Solar Panel (60–100 W) – mounts beside the shell for continuous power.

Always route cables away from hinge points to prevent damage when closing the shell.


Interior and Comfort Accessories

Enhance comfort and organisation inside the tent with the following accessories:

  • Memory Foam Mattress Topper – improves comfort on long trips.

  • Thermal Under-Mattress Liner – insulates against cold conditions.

  • Gear Pockets and Nets – attach to internal rails for small-item storage.

  • Ventilation Fan (USB-Powered) – aids airflow during hot weather.

All accessories fit inside the tent when closed, provided they do not exceed mattress height.


Weather Protection and Aerodynamics

The Adventurer’s aluminium shell offers excellent weatherproofing, but certain accessories help optimise performance:

  • RoofBunk Wind Deflector Kit – reduces drag and noise during motorway travel.

  • Rain Canopy Extension – protects the ladder entrance from heavy rain.

  • Winter Insulation Liner – traps warmth during colder seasons.

Each accessory is designed for compatibility with the Adventurer’s low-profile clamshell shape.


Maintenance and Safety

To maintain long-term reliability:

  • Inspect fixings, hinges, and latches regularly.

  • Clean the shell with mild detergent — avoid solvents or abrasives.

  • Lubricate all moving components with silicone spray twice per year.

  • Store dry and ventilated when not in use.

Proper upkeep prevents corrosion and ensures the clamshell mechanism continues to operate smoothly.
