Step 4 Preparing to attach
the timber base board to the
trailer
Step 5 Attaching the hinges
Open out the Camper Trailer Tent to allow you
access to the top-side of the baseboard. Unzip
the doors to prevent suction when raising the
Camper Trailer Tent and remove the mattress to
prevent any damage that might occur during
fitting. Have your friends hold both sides (front
for the Camper Trailer Tent 8 models) of the
Camper Trailer Tent down to reduce the chance of
it moving or tipping during the opening process.
For Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
375, Outer Ridge 475, 8, 8 Twin, 9, 9 Deluxe, 12,
12 Twin & 12 Deluxe or models 6, 7 & 9 Classic
where optional gas tilt attachment kit has been
purchased proceed to Step 5.
For Camper Trailer Tent models 6, 7 & 9 Classic
without the optional gas tilt attachment kit,
included are 6 x bolts, 6 x washers and 6 x nuts.
Drill a total of 6 holes in the timber base board
and through the top rim of the trailer. The 6 holes
are made up of 2 holes (1 hole approximately 20-
30cm from the front and 1 hole approximately 20-
30cm from the rear) along each side and 2 holes
evenly spaced across the front, see Figure12.
Position the 2 rope hooks on the rear tailgate,
locate the position for the rope hooks that will
allow adequate tension of the shock cord rope
from the vinyl dust cover, see Figure 13.
Attach the hinges and backing plate to the trailer,
these should be approximately 20-30cms from
the front and 20-30cm from the rear of the trailer
on the left hand side while looking forward
towards the tow hitch (at the rear on either side of
the tailgate for the Camper Trailer Tent 8 models).
Holes will have to be drilled into the trailer wall
and the ply timber base board. Use fasteners
and backing plate as your template for the hole
position for the hinge brackets on the trailer. Use
the actual hinge as the template for the hole
position in the base-board, see Figure 14.
HELPFUL HINT
As part of a regular maintenance schedule,
check all nuts and bolts that connect the
Camper Trailer Tent to the trailer are firmly
secure and remain tight.
