How do I mount an Alu-Cab rooftop tent onto a Sherpa Crestone roof rack, and how should I attach the load bars to it?

How do you mount an Alu-Cab rooftop tent on a Sherpa rack?

To mount an Alu-Cab rooftop tent on a Sherpa rack, attach Alu-Cab crossbars to the Sherpa rack using Alu-Cab low-profile feet, then secure the tent to the crossbars with standard rooftop tent mounting brackets. Do not use Sherpa's own tent mounts — they are not designed for Alu-Cab's wider mounting tracks and will not provide the required clearance.

What is the correct order for mounting an Alu-Cab tent on a Sherpa rack?

Follow these steps in order to ensure a secure, properly fitted installation:

1. Attach Alu-Cab crossbars to the Sherpa rack using Alu-Cab low-profile feet.
2. If the Sherpa rack is recessed, add additional feet to achieve the correct tent height.
3. Secure the rooftop tent to the crossbars using standard rooftop tent mounting brackets.
