Summit Suite Owner Manual

• 

If you have an overhead hoist or an at-
home strap system, you can hoist your 
tent up to the roof of your garage and 
have it sit above your vehicle. To do this, 
you can simply drive in to your garage, 
lower the hoist, secure the straps, and 
unmount it from your car. Now you just 
pull it up! Make sure you have a 

secure, 

legitimate system, a falling tent from 
above could cause serious injury or 
death and SMRT Tent is not liable.  

• 

Some customers find this to be a handy 
system because to re-install the tent 
they simply need to lower it back onto 
the vehicle instead of lifting it from the 
ground! Great for those who need to 
take their tent on and off often. 

• 

You might have the floorspace or shelf 
space to store your tent in it’s normal, 
bottom down position. If you’re going to 
do this, make sure you do not put the 
tent directly on the ground or shelf. 

• 

Get a Pallet or Two Pieces of Wood (to 
mimic cross rails) and set the tent on 
top; This keeps airflow and prevents any 
water from creeping into the tent from 
the floor, as well as creepy crawlies. 

OPTION 2

Storing the Tent with a Hoist System

OPTION 3

Storing the Tent on the Floor/Shelf
