IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1.  Ensure the Rooftop Tent is clean and dry before it is packed away.

2.  Store in a clean, dry space when the Rooftop tent is not attached to your vehicle.

3.  Do not clean with harsh chemicals, only use water and a soft cloth. 

4.  The Travel Cover should always be used when driving.

5.  Before using the ladder, ensure that all parts are locked. Check regularly to ensure all 

parts are in good condition and in working order. 

6.  Do not use the ladder if only supported by one leg. If on ice or unstable ground, use an 

anti-skid device under the ladder.

7.  When climbing the ladder, face the ladder while climbing and hold firmly. Step in the 

centre of the rungs. Do not jump off the ladder.

8.  Do not adjust the ladder while on the ladder.

9.  Before contracting the ladder, ensure it is clean from dirt, dust and grease.

10.  The frame and ladder are metal and will conduct electricity, keep away from live 

electrical currents.

11.  The ladder should be at an angle of 75° to the ground when in use.

12.  When extending the ladder. Start at the bottom, extend slowly in sequence, locking 

each rung carefully before moving to the next.

13.  When contracting the ladder. Start at the bottom, click the buttons on the underside of 

the rungs and collapse slowly in sequence, working to the top of the ladder.

14.  If the extended ladder isn’t sitting flat, reduce the entire ladder first, then extend again 

to the correct height.

15.  Do not use the tent and ladder in extremely high winds.

16.  The ladder is designed for one person only, maximum load 150kg.

17.  Do not jump inside Rooftop Tent.

18.  Do not leave children unattended in or around this Rooftop Tent.

1.  Never store your Rooftop Tent away damp. Should mildew spots appear, brush 

them off before they become attached. Mildew damage of any kind is not covered 

by our warranty. DO NOT use excessive force or other harsh tools to remove 

soilage from your Rooftop Tent.

2.  Like all assets, polycotton fabric requires regular care and attention to give the life 

and service expected. Regular cleaning with an abundance of clean water and a 

soft brush, especially after exposure to saltwater will preserve your Rooftop Tents 

life. Do not allow bird droppings, earth or vegetable matter to remain in contact 

with the fabric. NEVER USE SOAPS OR DETERGENTS.

3.  Polycotton fabric is not fireproof, if exposed to flame or high heat sources it can 

ignite and burn. Always take care when using spirit or gas appliances such as 

stoves and lanterns near your Rooftop Tent.

4.  Some products contain chemicals, which can destroy your Rooftop Tent proofing 

and cause it to leak. Avoid using aerosol sprays and keep petrol, oil, solvents and 

other similar fluids away from the fabric. Do not use these inside or around your 

Rooftop Tent as any damage caused by these is not covered by our warranty.

5.  Always remember that your Rooftop Tent is made from cloth, and should not be 

compared with a house. It is waterproof under normal conditions but in severe 

weather conditions, some water may penetrate. If you apply waterproofing to your 

Rooftop Tent, check that you are applying the right one for the polycotton fabric 

type.

6.  Polycotton fabric is not 100% colourfast and some fading will occur naturally, 

however; this does not affect the performance of the fabric. Do not leave your 

Rooftop Tent up and unattended for extended periods of time. Rooftop Tents are 

not designed as permanent dwellings. Rooftop Tents are guaranteed for normal 

camping use only.

7.  Check all fixtures regularly and tighten them when necessary.
