FAQ
What is it made from?
The tent is full aluminium construction and a durable Ripstop canvas. The tent seals completely
when closed and gives a full dust/water proof seal.
We use a 300gsm Riptech Canvas that is UV resistant to prevent fading. The wrap-around awning is
at a 45° angle so that you can have ventilation in poor weather with maximum water deflection.
Our mesh is coated in a rubber compound making it extremely flexible and durable.
The roof of the BunduTop is raw aluminium sheet to ensure maximum heat reflection and is the
main reason you can sleep comfortably cool inside even in direct sunlight.
The 2000lbs Winch Motor lifts and lowers the tent with the use of 3mm Dyneema Rope on a pulley
system.
The foam backed roof-lining absorbs moisture and condensation but if you are going to extremely
cold areas we do recommend putting a carpet as insulation under the mattress as very cold tem-
peratures creates additional condensation.
The frame built into the bottom of the tent provides additional strength and makes it versatile to
mount. It can be bolted directly to your load bars or roof rack.
Quick Tip:
Taking care of your canvas is easy! Take a look at the tab stitched inside for instructions on how to
properly care for your canvas.
Can I fit the tent myself?
Yes. It is not heavy, but it is an awkward shape and will need 2 people to handle.
What if it doesn’t work?
Should you for some reason experience electrical failure the tent will be the least of your worries.
(Those beers will be getting warm!)
Even so the tent has a manual override outside, situated right next to the buttons used to lift/lower
the tent.
Electricity in the form of a jumper cable connection can be used to lift/lower the tent this way.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU USE THE OVERRIDE IT BYPASSES ALL THE SAFETY MEASURES WE
HAVE BUILT IN.
This means that your tent WILL NOT KNOW WHEN TO STOP.
You HAVE to stop it lifting by removing the electrical flow as soon as the canvas is taut.
The same will apply when you lower it this way. When the tent is about 1 cm from being completely
shut, remove the electrical flow.
You can simply pull down the roof the last centimeter and fasten the latches.
What if I accidentally broke it by forgetting one of my latches on?
It will still work.
The roof of the tent (which /- 20 kg) can be easily lifted by one person, who can crawl inside
and wedge the corner arms in place. You may need a cable tie to tie them into that position. When
you lower it the next morning gravity will step in and lower it for you and the sides and awnings will
still pull in.
