Get some help lifting your tent
onto the vehicle with another
person or an overhead hoist. We
do not recommend doing it by
yourself.
•
Pick up the tent and bring it to
the side of the vehicle. Holding
the front and back, lift it up to the
height of the rack. Slide the tent
across the rack until you have both
mounting rails on the crossbars
or rack that you have
(Figure
E). Don’t worry about it being
completely centered yet.

Grab a friend to help you lift the
tent onto your rack or crossbars.

Now you can reattach the stainless
steel rod to the lower C bracket and
make sure that the clamp latches. It
will be tough to close at first – this
is normal, your latches will break in
over time.
•
Use the provided keyway to lock
the clamp in place (you can check
that the latch is locked by looking
down from the top of that latch and
ensuring the locking arm is straight
down in it’s lowered position. That
is one latch done!
(Figure D).
•
To install the second latch, repeat
the previous steps on the opposite
side, moving the other way from
centre so that your latches end up
around 16 inches apart, for your
ladder hooks.
B) Installation: Latches on outer
edges of the back of the tent
•
Follow previous latch instructions,
but change your mounting location
to the far edges of the back of the
tent. You want to mount the latches
8 inches from the edge instead of
from the centre.
C) Installation: Latches on Sides of
Tent
•
Follow previous latch instructions,
but change your mounting location
to the sides of the tent. You want
to mount the latches 3-4 inches in
from the back of the tent. You can
start with the left or ride side.
•
Slide them in the lower mounting
rail and tighten. These will come
in approximately 8-9 inches from
the outside edge of the lower
mounting rail.
