4 Mounting Your Tent
Before installing your tent, you must ensure that your chosen mounting solution (load bar, roof
rack etc.) can support the weight of the tent in dynamic load conditions.
The Bush Company do not recommend mounting the tent without full support running
horizontally across the full width of the tent. If this is not done it will void the warranty on your
tent.
4.1 Positioning Your Tent
When deciding on the position of your rooftop tent there are some specifications which must be
considered:
• Unsupported Overhang – 500mm at the front and rear of the tent. IMPORTANT:
exceeding these limits will void the warranty on your tent.
• If only two load bars are used to support your tent (we recommend 3), they can be no
more that 125omm apart centre to centre.
• If the maximum distance between the front and rear support underneath the tent exceeds
1250mm then a third support MUST be used, with a minimum distance from the front and
rear supports of 500mm.
On a ute/pickup, due to the difference in flex between the cab and the tray/canopy, you must not
fix the tent across the two, as this will result in damage to the tent and also your vehicle.
