G'day Chris,

Yep, it does include the rails, they 30mm deep.
Hope that helps.

G'day Travis,

Yep, the set up for this rooftop tent is exactly the same as the single ladder versions, you just have an extra ladder.
You can either manage both ladders at the same time, or leave one strapped whilst you set up.
Hope that helps.

G'day Dan,

We've had this inquiry before, and our customer support team has chased up the info with Darche.
The ladder itself has an overall weight rating of 150kg.

G'day Max,

The tent itself doesn't have a specified weight capacity. The weight capacity will be dictated by the roof load rating of your vehicle. Best bet will be to check the roof load rating for your vehicle and then calculate the weight of all attachments that will be added to the roof, including your roof racks, tent and yourselves to determine whether this will be suitable.

G'day Dave,

You're right, they are very similar, although there are a few key differences. 23Zero uses a slightly heavier duty 280gsm canvas, with Darche using 260gsm canvas. 23Zero also use a light suppression coating, so you'll get a bit of a sleep in with this model. Aside from these minor material differences, they are almost identical in every other way. We think both options are excellent, and wouldn't want to steer you in either way, as they're both great!

G'day Dianne,

Generally, you won't be able to pack away any bedding in a rooftop tent, as they're designed to fold down and keep a fairly low profile. You may be able to leave a sleeping bag inside, but generally not pillows. We'd recommend storing your bedding separately.

G'day Anthony,

If you zip the storm flaps shut over the skylights you should be fairly well protected, but if there is the chance of rain, then we'd suggest making sure you've got the fly over the top. With the fly over the stop you'll be best prepared for wet weather and condensation. Without it, you might end up a tad damp if there was strong rain and wind.

G'day,

All of the Darche Roof Top Tents are a super quick and easy set up.  Realistically you're looking at around 10mins for the tent itself, with one person.  If you've also got an annex to add, you're looking at longer time and would help to have an extra person.  Jump onto our Darche Roof Top Tents - How to setup video for an idea on how easy it'll be for the Hi-View 2200 Rooftop Tent to go up.

G'day Kate,

The Annese for the Hi-View 2200 can be found here. It comes in two different heights, with the floor dimensions being 2500m,m x 2850mm on both heights. They will need to be detached from the RTT itself and packed separately.

G'day Dan,

You can mount your roof top tent any way you like, so its up to you if you have the ladders off the side or rear of your vehicle.  The ladders run off the 2.2m end, and you would sleep head to foot the 2.4m way.

The actual length of the ten is approx 3m when you count in the addition 60cm ten overhang above the ladder, however the actual sleeping area is 2.4.

Hope that makes sense!

G'day Dan,

The Darche Hi-View 2200 has the ability to attach an annex to it. You can find the two different heigh annexes here, there are two heights depending on whether you're mounting on top of a vehicle or a ute tray/trailer. 

These don't come with specifications for a roof rack sorry, Ian, they come with two aluminium rails into which various bracket can be fitted into to suit a wide variety of roof racks. You will need to make sure your roof rack is rated to carry the weight of the rooftop tent, an ARB roof rack is more than likely going to be fine.

This isn't a simple topic. There are differences between weight rating for a dynamic load and a static load. Most roof racks are rated to around 80-100kg for safe highway travel (dynamic load), and an empty rooftop tent usually weighs less than this. You should also consider the roof rating for your vehicle which is now the weight of the roof rack plus rooftop tent.

Now... the weight of 2 people plus tent is in excess of 200kg, but your vehicle is stationary (static load) whilst set up at camp and the dynamic load that could be generated at 100kph is removed. 

This is what I have found out through my research, I don't claim to be an expert on the topic and suggest that you do your own research relevant to your set up.

There's a bit more information here - https://www.snowys.com.au/blog/overweight-4wd/. I hope this helps.
