STIRLING SERIES

Now it’s time to setup your tent, this stage can take as little as 10 minutes once you become well practiced, but be prepared
for your first time to take a little longer
1.
Locate your door key, and use this to open the door of the trailer, this is always the first thing you do
before going into the trailer and the last thing you do before folding trailer back up when you pack up.
Make sure you do this before you close up your camper otherwise the gas struts get in the way and may
stop you from being able to close the door.
3.
Grab two c-clip spreader bars, one long one, and one short one. Then climb inside your trailer
4.
If your trailer is brand new check that all bows are correctly attached to the canvas you do this by using the
Velcro to hold them in place.
Use the key provided to unlock the door
Use the Velcro to attach the roof bow to
the roof
The middle bow with its Velcro sleeve
correctly fastened
INSIDE THE TENT FOR YOUR STIRLING GT MK3
2.
Before jumping inside, work your way around the trailer and make sure all the press studs are connected so
the canvas holds in place.
Attach the longer c-clip spreader bar
Take care to extend both sides of the
bow evenly
Pop in your corner stays at the front
of the trailer
5.
Start by putting in two of your spreader bars between the living area bow and the centre bow then climb
up onto the bed
6.
Raise the bed bow and extend out until side walls are firm but not tight
7.
Then put in your corner stays and the other 2 spreader bars, extend the corner stays and lock in place
8.
Work your way back extending all bows then spreader bars, but take care not to make it too tight it can
open up seams and cause water to get in canvas shrinks as it weathers so your trailer may appear a little
saggy when you first set it up but over time it will shrink and tighten up as the canvas becomes seasoned
