Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a telescopic tent pole extendable between an extended and collapsed state, in particular for a vehicle roof top tent. The tent pole includes a first pole element and a second pole element connected to each other and moveable relative to each other in an axial direction to extend or collapse the tent pole. The tent pole further includes a fixation device configured to be adjustable between a blocking state and a release state, with the fixation device biased towards its blocking state. The fixation device, in its blocking state, is configured to prevent collapsing of the tent pole in the extended state or at least one intermediate state of the tent pole. Alternatively, the fixation device, in its blocking state, is configured to permit further extending of the tent pole towards its extended state in the intermediate state of the tent pole.

Abstract: A tent system includes a base, a canopy, and a frame system. The base is configured to mount to a vehicle. The frame system is coupled to the base and configured to expand and collapse the canopy. The frame system includes a first frame member, a second frame member, a third frame member, and a fourth frame member. The first frame member includes a first support and a first leg, the first leg configured to pivot about the first support. The second frame member includes a second support and a second leg, the second leg configured to pivot about the second support. The tent system can provide a folding mechanism to easily and efficiently open and close the canopy, increase an internal volume of the canopy, increase rigidity of the canopy, decrease setup time of the canopy, decrease a height of the base, and provide an automatic self-folding canopy.

Abstract: Systems for mounting a load to a load bar on a vehicle roof include a first twist bracket having a first bracket body and a first mounting head. The first bracket body is configured to be gripped by a user and the first mounting head is configured to mount in a track. A second twist bracket includes a second bracket body and a second mounting head. The second bracket body is configured to be gripped by the user and the second mounting head is configured to mount in the track. A mounting plate is secured to the first twist bracket by a first fastener and to the second twist bracket by a second fastener. The first mounting head and the second mounting head are configured to be removably released from the track by rotating the first twist bracket and the second twist bracket, respectively.
