If you own a Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, or Outback you probably lead an active lifestyle because more people are drawn to the Subaru brand because they are the original all-wheel-drive SUV vehicle for urban-adventurers. In Colorado, the ski areas have closed early because of the coronavirus and winter sports are over. You are tired of being quarantined inside, and now is a great time to get outside and explore the outdoors.
There is no better way to enjoy the spring weather than to get a rooftop tent and head out into the wilderness. All you need is a few accessories, camping gear, and you are ready to set up a campsite anywhere you find an open camping spot in the National Forester. Subaru says about 30 percent of Crosstrek buyers will take the subcompact SUV off-road. Forester and Outback owners also lead active lifestyles and are using their vehicles for outdoor adventures.
Some owners just lower the backseat, roll out a sleeping bag or buy a custom mattress and sleep in the back, but you can create an outdoor living space with a rooftop tent that will allow you to spend more nights out.
When you add a roof-top tent, all three Subaru models become even more ideal outdoor adventure vehicles. With Subaru’s standard Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system coupled with X-Mode, you can get farther away from civilization.
Even though they are capable of towing, you don’t have to buy a camper or even pay for expensive motel rooms. A rooftop tent will turn your Subaru into an outdoor venue wherever you’d like it to be.

Thanks for the video. What year Outback is this? I have a 2020 and I know the standard crossbars cannot be used to mount a roof rack, but third party racks like Thule evo wings which have fit kits for the 2020 outback are able to support a RTT correct?
