YOWIE USER MANUAL

Fitting to roof rack

The YOWIE roof top tent must be fitted to roof racks with hinges facing left hand side of vehicle

(AUS passenger side). It will open over the right hand side (AUS driver's side). Clamp 4 corners

using 8 x 55mm M8 bolts, 8 slide plates & 4 x mounting plate supplied.

Lift roof top tent on top of the vehicle's roof rack (minimum 4-person lift).

Important: Ensure the YOWIE is closed and locked in position..

Fit 8 x 55mm M8 bolts into 8 x slide plates and slide each into bottom mounting rail. Position these

so there are 2 sets of bolts in each corner of the tent. Lift / tilt the roof top tent to allow the inner

bolts to cross over onto the inside of the roof bars, See pic below.

Inspect the position of the roof top tent to ensure it will open in the desired position.

Place a mounting plate under the roof bar whilst locating the bolts and hand tighten Nylok nut.

Repeat for all 4 corners. Double check the tent's position as desired and tighten all nuts securely

with 13mm spanner. Insert end caps into the ends of the mounting rails, this may require light taps

with a hammer.

IMPORTANT: Before using the YOWIE, all bolts / fastners used to mount the tent to vehicle

or trailer must be re-checked for tightness and good repair including factory fitted mounting

rail bolts under the mattress (top nut in diagram above). Lift mattress to check.

Inspections: Roof top tents have many moving parts so maintenance checks are always advised.

During trips regularly check that all the above fixings are tight and in good repair.
