YOWIE USER MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a 23 ZERO Roof Top Tent

Congratulations on the purchase of 23ZERO’s YOWIE Hardshell Roof Top Tent. We strive to 

provide you with the ultimate camping experience. The YOWIE Tent mounts directly to a roof rack, 

tub rack or aftermarket roof bars. It opens and is fully setup in seconds. As well as our innovative 

LST fabric, this hardshell tent is made with durable materials and high-quality fabrics that provide 

excellent water and wind protection.

Note:

 During set up and first use, some aluminium swarf may be present inside the roof top tent. 

We make every possible attempt to expel all aluminium swarf, however, with vibrations caused 

by logistics some residual may dislodge and reappear. It is advised to remove and clean these 

during first set up.
