Thule Basin is compatible with all Thule Evo roof racks – make sure to check weight limitations for all feet and fit kits, as well as other roof racks.

Tested to the limit

“At the Thule Test Center in Hillerstorp, Sweden, our car tents go through extremely rigorous testing before they are deemed worthy of the Thule logo. Below are just a few examples of the many tests conducted” – Thule
Rain and wind tests
  • Our state-of-the-art rain chamber simulates torrential rain and our industrial-sized fan blows at high speeds to ensure that the tent can withstand the worst weather.
Multi-axis shaker table
  • This test simulates a vehicle driving great distances with a car tent to ensure that the tent, car racks, and car roof all fit securely and stand the test of time.

Climate cycle test

  • We place a tent in a climate cycle chamber and subject it to high and low humidity, as well as extreme winter and summer temperatures to ensure that it can handle any weather

City Crash test

  • We conduct multiple crash tests at different speeds and weights to ensure the car tent will stay on your car at all costs.
