Mounting

The tent can be fitted to any vehicle with two crossbars across the roof or a roof rack (platform). If the rack has a frame higher than its base, you may need an extra bar at frame level so the tent does not drop into the rack.

The mounting brackets are adjustable – they slide along the long side of the tent to match the spacing of your crossbars or roof rack

It is fixed to the crossbars with 8 bolts and 4 flat bars, forming 4 clamps – two per bar.

Minimum crossbar spacing is half the tent size – in this case 105 cm

Setting up

1. Undo the four buckles on the tent edges and pull the extra safety straps out of their holders
2. Push the cover up slightly and let the gas struts lift it all the way
3. Fully extend the ladder and hook it onto the brackets at the tent entrances
4. Fit the poles supporting the awnings over the entrances (4 pcs)
