I've been looking around at all the Roof Top Tents. Where I live, you've got to secure just about everything. How do you secure a Roof Top Tent to your vehicle?

I found these Spanner Nut but wondered what other options are out there. I believe the RTT bolts are M8, so these should work?

Thanks

Depends on the type of tent but most have a rail that fits a slider with bolt in it. Using mine with 4 roof racks for weight distribution. Only 2 racks have a bolt on either side. A bar is then put on both bolts and and held on with crush washer and nylon nut. 20200907_222702.jpg

I use these: 1599574892920.png
I will add, that to remove my tent, you need two different wrenches on 16 nuts, sockets wont fit, so anyone trying to steal my tent is looking at at least 30 minutes of knuckle cutting, box end wrenching.
