Accessories and Compatibility for the RoofBunk Roamer

The RoofBunk Roamer supports a full range of accessories designed to enhance comfort, practicality, and all-season performance.
This guide outlines compatible add-ons, recommended mounting systems, and key maintenance points for safe, efficient use on any journey.

Roof Bar Requirements

The Roamer mounts securely to most aftermarket or factory-fitted roof bars rated for a dynamic load of at least 75 kg.
Before installation:

• Confirm that the bars are parallel and evenly spaced between 70–90 cm apart.

• Use steel or aluminium crossbars with a T-track slot for the included mounting hardware.

• Recheck fixings after 100 km of driving and periodically thereafter.

Once fitted, the tent can remain on the vehicle year-round due to its durable, weather-resistant shell.

Ladder and Access Accessories

The Roamer includes a telescopic aluminium ladder with adjustable locking sections.
Optional accessories include:

• RoofBunk Ladder Extension Kit – adds extra reach for higher vehicles and 4x4s.

• Anti-Slip Ladder Mat – prevents sinking on soft ground and improves stability.

• Replacement Ladder Feet Kit – ideal for long-term users who frequently set up on uneven terrain.

Awnings and Shelter Additions

The Roamer’s hard-shell design makes it compatible with several RoofBunk and universal awning systems, offering additional covered space for outdoor living.
Compatible options:

• RoofBunk Side Awning 2.5 m – attaches to roof bars, creating instant shade and rain protection.

• RoofBunk Awning Room Kit – transforms the side awning into an enclosed ground-level room.

• Universal Wing Awning – compatible with most RoofBunk roof bars for wrap-around coverage.

Mounting note: Attach awnings to the vehicle roof bars, not directly to the tent shell, to avoid stress on hinges or gas struts.

Power and Lighting Options

The Roamer’s internal shell and frame include anchor points suitable for low-voltage or USB lighting systems.
Recommended compatible items include:

• 12V or USB LED Strip Lighting for interior illumination.

• RoofBunk Power Bank or Portable Station for charging devices off-grid.

• Foldable Solar Panel Kit (40–80 W) for continuous power supply on extended trips.

Ensure all cables are routed away from hinge mechanisms before closing the shell.

Comfort and Interior Add-Ons

To increase comfort during extended use, RoofBunk and compatible third-party products include:

• Memory Foam Mattress Topper – improves sleep quality for long stays.

• Thermal Under-Mattress Layer – enhances insulation in colder weather.

• Hanging Organiser Pockets – attach to the interior rails for storing small items.

• Storage Nets or Gear Loft – clip to the ceiling for lightweight gear storage.

All interior accessories fit within the tent when closed and do not affect seal integrity.

Weather Protection and Seasonal Upgrades

While the Roamer is fully waterproof and rated for year-round use, seasonal accessories help optimise comfort:

• Winter Insulation Liner – reduces heat loss and condensation.

• Rain Canopy Extension – adds coverage to the ladder entrance.

• Wind Deflector Kit – improves aerodynamics for high-speed travel.

All RoofBunk weather accessories are compatible with the Roamer’s frame and can remain attached during closure.

Maintenance and Safety

Inspect all bolts, ladder joints, and roof-bar fixings regularly — particularly after long journeys or rough terrain.
Clean the canvas with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly; allow to dry fully before closing.
Avoid pressure washing the shell and lubricate moving parts (hinges, gas struts, latches) twice per year with silicone spray.

Compatibility Summary

Summary

The RoofBunk Roamer is compatible with a broad accessory ecosystem designed to extend its functionality across all seasons.
Whether you’re adding extra shelter, improving comfort, or preparing for off-grid travel, genuine RoofBunk accessories ensure safe fitment and consistent performance.
