There's nothing worse than arriving at a campsite after a long drive, setting up your roof top tent, and realizing you're sleeping on a slope. Getting your vehicle perfectly level used to mean a lot of back-and-forth shuffling over rocks and sticks — but two simple products change that completely.
The Roof Top Tent Levels – Set of 2 and GoTreads traction boards are one of those pairings that just makes sense. Individually they're both great. Together, they turn a frustrating part of camp setup into a quick, repeatable system.
The Levels: A Five-Minute Install That Pays Off Every Trip
The Roof Top Tent Levels are about as close to a no-brainer upgrade as it gets. They mount directly into the T-track already built into most rooftop tents using included M6-16 hardware — no drilling, no modifications. Each set of 2 indicators gives you an instant visual read on your vehicle's tilt before you even climb up top. Side-to-side, front-to-back — you know exactly what needs correcting the moment you pull in.
It's a small thing, but having that instant feedback transforms how you set up camp. Instead of guessing, climbing up, adjusting, and climbing up again, you can see the problem and fix it on the ground.
GoTreads: Built for Traction, Surprisingly Great for Leveling
GoTreads were designed to get you unstuck — but their folding design makes them a genuinely capable leveling tool too. Fold the boards back on themselves, place them in front of your low-side tire, and drive up. The self-feeding design guides the board under your tire automatically. No getting out to reposition, no stacking rocks.
The three sizes offer different amounts of leveling height:
- Standard Length – 46" of traction, 3 inches of leveling, 9" wide
- XL Length – 58" of traction, 4 inches of leveling, 9" wide
- GoLong 70's Length – 70" of traction, 6 inches of leveling, 9" wide
Need more height? Fold them back further. Need less? Unfold slightly. Once you've done it a couple of times, it becomes second nature.
Why They Work So Well Together
The Levels tell you what's wrong. The GoTreads fix it. That's really the whole system.
Pull in, glance at your level indicators, identify the low corner, drop your GoTreads, and drive up. Check the levels again. Done. What used to take multiple attempts and a lot of guesswork becomes a quick, confident process — and you're set up and relaxing faster.
Both products are compact, easy to store, and built for people who actually use their gear. The Roof Top Tent Levels tuck right into your tent's T-track. GoTreads fold flat and come with carrying cases (the GoLong 70's even include two individual bags, one per board). Neither adds meaningful weight or bulk to your kit.
The Workflow at Camp
- Pull into your campsite and check your Roof Top Tent Levels.
- Identify which corner(s) need to come up.
- Place your GoTreads in front of the low-side tire(s) and slowly drive up, folded to your desired height.
- Check the levels again and fine-tune if needed.
- Set up camp knowing you'll actually sleep flat tonight.
Which GoTreads Are Right for You?
For most campsites, the Standard Length's 3 inches of leveling is plenty. If you're regularly on more uneven terrain, the XL or GoLong 70's give you more range to work with. All three are 9 inches wide with the same self-feeding design, so the technique is identical across the lineup.
A Handy Pair Worth Having
The best overlanding upgrades are the ones that solve a real problem without adding complexity. The Roof Top Tent Levels and GoTreads do exactly that — a quick install, a smart pairing, and one less thing to stress about at camp.
