Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bar Roof Top Tent Bracket Kit

Overview

A four-bracket stainless steel kit that mounts a rooftop tent to Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bars. Pre-cut mounting holes and all hardware are included, with a black finish that matches the bars.

Key features

• Four stainless steel brackets with a black finish to resist rust streaking at the steel-to-bar joint
• Pre-cut mounting holes — no drilling the brackets during install
• All mounting hardware and a PDF install guide included in the kit
• Four-point layout allows fore/aft tent positioning along the bars to balance load
• Fits any vehicle running Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bars; not vehicle-specific
• Backed by Rhino-Rack's 5-year manufacturer warranty

Use cases

Adds a rooftop tent to a truck already running Reconn-Deck Bars without buying a separate platform. Keeps the bed open underneath for bulky cargo while the RTT rides up top, and the adjustable bracket spacing lets you trim the tent's position to keep the rig balanced.

What does this kit actually mount to?

It clamps a rooftop tent to Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bars. It is not a tent and not a bar — it's the connecting hardware between the two. You need the Reconn-Deck Bars already installed to use it.

Is it vehicle-specific?

No. Fitment follows your Reconn-Deck Bars, not the vehicle. Any rig running Reconn-Deck Bars can use the kit, so the same bracket works whether your bars sit on a Gladiator, a midsize, or a full-size truck.

Will it fit my rooftop tent?

It works with most hard-base rooftop tents that bolt down through the tent floor channels. Confirm your tent's mounting channels accept the included hardware before you install, since channel spacing varies by tent brand.

How hard is the install?

It's rated intermediate. The pre-cut holes mean no drilling the brackets — you bolt the four brackets between the bars and the tent base per the included PDF. Plan on about an hour and a second person to lift the tent into place.

What's the load rating?

The kit doesn't publish its own load number; it inherits the dynamic load rating of your Reconn-Deck Bars and your vehicle. Size your tent and gear to the bars' rating, not the brackets — the system rating is the limit, not the hardware.

Any maintenance after install?

Re-torque the bracket hardware after the first few hundred miles, then check it periodically. That's standard practice for any rooftop-tent mount and keeps the four points seated as the kit settles.
