ROOF TOP TENT USER MANUAL

Fitting transit cover

Transit covers are a crucial accessory for any roof top tent as they keep your roof top tent clean

and dry whilst traveling to your destination. Correct fitment is vital to ensuring it performs as

intended and prolongs it's lifespan.

The 23ZERO PVC transit cover has 4 edges, three of which have a continuous zip and one

which has a Kedar sail rope.

Once the tent is packed up, billowing canvas tucked in, side retaining straps fastened and

ladder straps secured, slide the sail rope edge of the transit cover into the sail track on the

hinge side of the roof top tent. Once centred, lift the cover over the roof top tent and guide the

opposite corners carefully by pulling down on them gently over the tent corners. Some further

adjustment may be required to centre the transit cover.

Locate the zip puller which is on the baseboard skirt and slide it to the start of the zip. Insert the

end of the zip on the cover through the zip slide until the pin is seated into the zip box. Begin to

slide the zip.

Zip the cover completely and fold around the Velcro tabs covering the exposed corners. Position

the transit cover straps over the cover avoiding any twists and fastened them through the D

rings to reduce the transit cover ballooning when traveling.

To remove the cover, follow the above sequence in reverse.

Caution: Damage to the zip may occur if the zip is forced when not seated correctly.

Caution: Pulling on the zip on a downward angle and sliding (diagonally) will damage the zip

teeth. Always slide the zip vertically.

Closing & Storage

Most roof top tents allow minimal storage inside such as sleeping bags or blankets laid out flat.

Thicker objects such as pillows are not recommended to be stowed inside your roof top tent as

these put excessive pressure on baseboard and hinges which may lead to failures and damage.

This damage is distinguishable and is not covered by warranty.

Bunji cords are included with your roof top tent. These assist in reducing the canvas from

billowing during roof top tent pack up. Attach these to the 3 round plastic loops located around

the windows inside the rtt. Bring them across to the opposite side and attach to the plastic

loops.

Release the trigger locks on the canopy hoop and retract. Use the Velcro straps to fasten the

canopy hoop against the tent.

Extend the ladder until it is fully locked in the open position and use this as a lever to fold the

tent closed. Tuck in all excess canvas and fasten the side D ring straps. Retract the ladder

closed and secure with retaining straps. Fit transit cover, see "Fitting transit cover" .

Caution: Do not pull down on Velcro straps when closing the tent. Excessive force on Velcro

straps will cause damage to your tent.

Caution: Avoid storing your tent wet. If conditions dictate that you do, open and dry out as soon

as possible to avoid moisture damage.
