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 – 80 cm for the 160, 95 cm for the 190

Setting up

1. Undo the Velcro on the cover on the narrow sides and fold the cover back
2. Undo the 2 straps on the short sides of the tent
3. Fit the ladder in its brackets and extend it fully
4. Use the ladder as a lever to open the tent floor and support it with the ladder
5. Extend the telescopic pole that supports the rainfly over the entrance
6. The ladder attaches with two pins; after folding the tent you unclip it (no tools needed) and store it in the car or inside the tent
