If you have any back, knee or any other health complications,

do NOT attempt to mount the tent on your vehicle.

Your vehicle MUST have suitable roof bars, a suitable roof rack

or THULE roof racks installed in order to mount this tent.

If Installing to the ARB Base rack, please make sure to use the correct

bridging brackets to secure this tent to the ARB Base rack.

The cross bars MUST have a dynamic weight load of at least 75kgs and

MUST be at least 76cm apart.

Under no circumstance should any flame sources or heating devices be

used inside the tent.

 When camping, keep all flame source away from the tent

Condensation & Weather. 

In foul weather it is always recommended to have all the windows done up and awnings 

pulled down in strong winds, or in very bad weather you should pack down the tent 

completely and seek shelter in a safe area. 

In wet weather and humid conditions, you should leave the top of your windows open 

slightly to allow air flow, this can assist in reducing condensation inside the tent, keeping 

windows and doors slightly open will assist in providing cross flow ventilation and reduce 

the ability for water vapor to build up.  Condensation occurs when the inside of the tent is 

warm and the outside is cold, the temperature variations cause water vapor to form 

droplets which will appear on the internal structure of the tent.  The tent is not leaking this 

is condensation.  Keeping windows and doors slightly open will dramatically reduce 

condensation and make your time away more enjoyable.
