ROOF TOP TENT USER MANUAL

Fitting to roof rack

Before fitting the roof top tent to your roof rack, ensure all the side tie down straps are secured.

You may even choose to fit the transit cover before installation, see "Fitting transit cover". To

secure the roof top tent to the roof rack, it must be clamped on 4 corners using the aluminium

slides and mounting plates supplied. To do this, place the roof top tent on top of the vehicle's roof

rack (minimum 2-person lift).

Insert the 55mm M8 bolts into the slide plates and slide the plates and bolts into the mounting

channels. You will need to tilt the roof top tent to allow the inner bolts to cross over onto the inside

of the roof bars.

Inspect the position of the roof top tent to ensure it will open to the desired side. Place mounting

plate under roof bar whilst locating the bolts. Insert washer and hand tighten Nyloc nut. Repeat for

all 4 corners. Double check the tents position as desired and tighten all nuts securely with 13mm

spanner. Insert rubber end caps into the ends of the mounting channels, this may require light

taps from a hammer.

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

During trips regularly check that all nuts and bolts attaching the roof top tent to your vehicle as

well as hinge and lug bolts are tight and in good repair.

To open the roof top tent, firstly remove the transit cover, see "Fitting transit cover" and release

the side tie down straps. Undo the ladder strap and extend the ladder fully by pulling on the

bottom rung until all rungs are locked in place. Using the ladder as a lever, pull down on the

ladder to start unfolding the tent. As the tent begins to open and the ladder starts to support the

tent's weight, step backwards gradually until the baseboard is laying flat. It is very important to

always support the weight of the roof top tent via the ladder until it is fully unfolded. Allowing the

tent to unfold without supporting the weight will put undue pressure on hinges, baseboard and

canvas potentially damaging the roof top tent.

The ladder should now be height adjusted and secured at the correct angle under the

baseboard, see "Ladder adjustment"

NOTE: Under no circumstances should anyone climb or be inside the roof top tent if the

ladder is not locked and secured at the correct angle.
