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!
