Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bar Roof Top Tent Bracket Kit
Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bar Roof Top Tent Bracket Kit
The Reconn-Deck Bar Roof Top Tent Bracket Kit (part RTTRDB) is the hardware that connects a rooftop tent to your Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Bars. It is not a tent and not a load bar — it's the four-bracket bridge between the two. Each kit ships with four stainless steel brackets, a black finish to match the bars, all mounting hardware, and a PDF install guide.
The brackets carry pre-cut mounting holes, so there is no drilling the brackets themselves. You bolt one bracket at each corner between the Reconn-Deck Bars and the underside of your tent base, then torque to spec. The four-point layout also lets you slide the tent fore or aft along the bars to balance the load against whatever you're hauling in the bed below. Install is rated intermediate; budget about an hour with a second set of hands to lift the tent.
Fitment follows your Reconn-Deck Bars, not the vehicle — any rig running Reconn-Deck Bars can use the kit. It suits most hard-base rooftop tents that bolt down through floor channels; confirm your tent's channels accept the included hardware before install. The bracket inherits the dynamic load rating of your bars and vehicle, so the system rating, not the kit, sets your ceiling.

- Four-point layout allows fore/aft tent positioning along the bars to balance load

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.
