Now that we have our tent
attached and clamped, we like to
check how secure it is. Give your
tent a firm shake with both hands
and make sure the tent is not
sliding on the rack at all.
•
Seriously, shake it hard.
•
Using the provided keyways that
you used to lock the clamps,
unlock the tent.
•
Hook your ladder to the back of
the tent and open it up.
•
Push the Top Lid of the tent up –
the gas struts will take over and
your tent will open.
•
There will be a bungee cord on the
fabric that you will have pull down.
•
Locate your shoe bags. The “S”
clips will clip onto the other
two remaining ladder mounting
locations.
Give your tent a firm shake,
shake, shake!

Inside the tent there will be two
stainless steel rods in a package,
which we will use to prop the rear
vestibule open.
•
First stick the straight end of the
rod in the base, then hook the hook
end of the rod into the eyelet of the
vestibule fabric.
•
The tent rod should snugly fit into
the pole base, however if it does
not fit, do not try to force it. Check
for burrs, in rare cases you may
have to run a drill bit into the base
to smooth it out.
•
If you put your latches on the sides
of the tent, you should have done
this before the latches.
•
Find your ladder hooks, locate the
side entrance you want to use. A
note: if you drive on the right side of
the road (North America Standard),
we suggest installing the ladder hooks
on the right side of the tent so if you
ever pull over for a snooze, your exit
is on the non traffic side. Vice versa if
you drive on the left hand side.
•
Slide in the ladder hooks
approximately where you would like
them (easiest to do when the tent
is open to position under window
entrance). Tighten one hook down.
•
We will use the ladder itself to
give us the second measurement
(approximately 15-16 inches).
Tighten the second hook with the
provided Allen key.
