FIRST THINGS FIRST: BE SAFE!
HOW TO CAMP SMRT
Congratulations on your purchase! We know
you are going to love the rooftop tenting
lifestyle, and many great adventures await
you. But before you pack up and leave on your
first trip, you need to properly install your
SMRT Tent, and know how to use it safely.
Although rooftop tenting and sleeping off the
ground has many safety benefits, there are
still steps that need to be taken to prevent
injury and dangerous situations. Remember
that you are still using nature’s space and that
it needs to be treated with respect. You will
be sharing it with animals, weather, and other
people.
Follow the instructions in this booklet to
safely and securely install your tent onto
your vehicle. For your ease and convenience,
you can also watch our Install Videos on
our YouTube Channel (SMRT Tent). You can
follow the QR code on this page to get to our
channel.
Please contact your vehicle manufacturer for
specific load rating of your roof rack. Not all
factory roof racks or aftermarket roof bars can
safely accommodate a SMRT Tent.
The installation of a SMRT Tent on your roof
rack will change your vehicle’s centre of
gravity, height and handling. The manufacturer
disclaims all responsibility in case of accidents
due to improper use, improper maintenance,
or checking the tightness of the brackets
regarding the fitting of your chosen roof rack
system.
Improper installation or use of the SMRT Tent
may result in serious injury or death. SMRT
Tent, the manufacturer, shall not be liable for
special, indirect incidental or consequential
damages.
Something close to our hearts is the
environment in which we have our fun; it
needs to be treated well and with respect so
the generations after us can explore too. When
using your SMRT Tent and exploring, stay
on designated roads and trails. Go over, not
around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails.
Cross streams only at designated fords, and
when possible avoid wet trails. Avoid sensitive
areas (meadows, lake shores, wetlands and
streams) – this protects wildlife habitats and
sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb
historical, archaeological or paleontological
sites. Try to leave no trace, leave the area
better than you found it, properly dispose
of waste, and avoid the spread of invasive
species.
Finally,
go have some fun!
