do you need a luggage rack on the suv to use this tent

No you don't, the straps will go over the roof to the hood to hook into the engine hood.

You do need a place on top of the vehicle where you can attach the hooks of the tent. I don't have a full luggage rack, but do have roof bars that worked fine to hold the hooks in place. Without those bars it may be challenge finding a place for the hooks to hold.

No, it has a lot of extra straps you can use, a lot of different options. But it's not absolutely necessary to cinch it up.

You will need 2 people to install this tent. The tent is very big and we'll put together. Yes you can carry it in your trunk

If I don't have bikes on it I can put it down and open the trunk. With bikes on it no, I cannot. I have an Acura RDX, which is an SUV. With a sedan you may be able to.

There are fixed mounting points on the SUV itself, so the bars can only be attached there. Don't know if that means your existing cargo box is unusable however.

Yes, there is a light-duty rack in the back with a three-piece bungee attachment system for luggage.

yes, you need some kind of canopy frame to use this tent. Also, a strong wind will pick the tent up, so it must have some way to keep it secured to the ground.

Yes. The tent comes with a heavy-duty pole bag (made of tarp material) that fits into the main bag.

No, you have to take the bikes off first. Then you can swing it out of the way and open the hatch. (My rack is on my CRV)

The trailer is not included the rack just attaches to a utility trailer and yes you could pull behind a car or SUV

You do not need a rack at all for this. You just strap everything through the car doors, both the front and the back.

Yes but you won't have room for luggage or othe things... We use a queen and there is space for odds n ends!!

Just a rack. If/when you get a trailer, it should be 5' wide with angle iron railings. If it has round or square rails, you will need to find different brackets to attach the rack. Also, I have a newer Carry-On trailer, and it has metal wiring conduit, so I needed to work around that to set up the rack.

Yes. You need to tie any loose straps up with zip ties. I melted one strap that was loose. I ended up installing luggage racks.

It comes with a rack (not sure if it's a luggage rack but on the rack it says it can support 20 KG) and fenders. The issue I have with the rack is that it doesn't hold the weight too well. I wanted to put my backpack on it held down by a bungee cargo net. The weight is below the 20 KG, but my backpack keeps sliding to either side. I think it can support loads that are half the rated weight, but anything above may be an issue.

I'm assuming from the question that you don't have luggage rack rails on top; those would work best. Honestly I wouldn't think it would work very well with the sliding side door on a minivan. But their website is www.roofbag.com, so you might find out more there. There's also another kind of luggage deal you can get that attaches to a trailer hitch if you have one of those; we didn't. Good luck.

You could roll this up and take it camping but I wouldn't suggest it unless the tent is right next to the car. You can roll it up so it's not to bulky but it is heavy.
