Connect the (4) sections of the steel pole together using
the (3) junctions (Fig 1 and Fig 2) as follows:
•
Place the long steel pole section over the main tent
and place the shorter steel pole section over the
screen room. Connect these two pole sections with the
junction that is marked with the letter “M”.
•
Place the (2) steel pole sections with black end caps
into the pockets at the end of each awning. Connect
these pole sections to the main pole sections with the
junctions that are marked with the letter “A” (Fig 3).

Buckle the (2) short straps on the leading edge of the
upper sleeve around the vehicle’s roof rack rear cross bar
(Fig 12) (it may be necessary to adjust the position of the
cross bar). If without a cross bar, clip the (2) long straps
provided into the female buckles of the short straps and
attach their J-hooks to the windshield wipers (Fig 13).

Set Up The Tent
4-
Attach the top tent clips to the steel pole (Fig 6).
5-
Raise the tent by having one person lift the top steel
pole (Fig 7) and a second person bending the black fi
-
berglass poles until their ends go over their corresponding
pole pins (Fig 8). Start with the two fiberglass poles at one
end of the tent, move to the two middle poles, and finish
with the two poles at the opposite end.
6-
Attach the side tent clips to the black fiberglass poles
(Fig 9).
The tent has a lower sleeve and an upper sleeve which
create an alligator clamping action around the rear of
the vehicle.
9-
Adjust the baffle inside the top edge of the upper sleeve
to keep water, wind, and bugs out.
WARNING:
Don’t use excessive force when bending the tent
poles. If there is any resistance, check to see that the
pole sleeves are sliding over the poles without hang-
ups.
