We recommend laying your new tent 

on the top piece of the cardboard 

box it came in to set it up!

• 

Undo the two straps at the back 

of the tent by depressing the 

levers and pulling the straps out 

the top. Once both straps are 

undone, you can open the tent.

• 

Pull down the bungee cord from 

the middle of the tent and lower 

it to the base

• 

Flip the bottom tent flap down 

around the base of the tent

• 

Unzip the main door at the 

back of the tent and remove all 

contents from tent. You should 

have 2 window rods in a bag, 2 

shoe bags, a ladder bag, and an 

install kit bag.

• 

Unclip the buckles on the ladder 

bag and find the install kit inside 

the bag (beige pouch). Remove 

the contents. You should find a 

13mm ratchet wrench, 4 bottom 

brackets wrapped in rubber, 8 

sliders, and 8 nuts and bolts.

• 

Take the nuts off the bolts and 

put the bolts into the sliders, with 

the head of the bolt sitting in the 

channel, so the slider top remains 

flush with the head of the bolt. Set 

aside.

• 

Undo the knot in the upper strap 

at the back of the tent. You will 

use this strap to pull down and 

close your tent while in use.

• 

Unzip the side windows and fold 

them into the tent to create an 

opening for air to flow out.

• 

Push down evenly on the tent to 

somewhat close it back up and 

reattach the straps. Note: This 

can be a loose close, you don’t 

have to have your fabric tucked in; 

we usually leave ours open with 

3-4 inches of space. This partial 

closing is only to make the lifting 

of the tent easier.

Open the tent and remove the 

contents for install.  

Prep the tent to be installed on 

your vehicle.
