8) Lift tent in place to allow hardware to pass the cross bar 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9) Loosely assemble the retention plate, washers, 

and nuts as shown left 

10) Repeat steps 7-9 for the 4 intersections between 

the tent and Hitch Tent’s cross bars. 

 

11) With the tent resting on Hitch 

Tent, set the spacing from the ball. 

There should be 

3” from the end 

of the Main Support

 (where the 

ball threads in) to the tent. 

If this 

distance is to small, the tent cover 
will catch when folding it into the 
RubiConX™ causing damage to 
your tent. If this distance is too 
great, the tent will be unnecessarily 
tall in the folded position.
