INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
THINGS TO DO BEFORE ASSEMBLY
CHOOSING TENT ORIENTATION ON YOUR VEHICLE
Before you fi t your new roof-top tent to your vehicle, you will need to
decide whether you wish to have the roof-top tent open to the back
or to the side of your vehicle. The addition of a shower/sitting closure
will place it behind or beside the car depending on the orientation of
the opened tent.
Once you have decided which is the best suited to your application,
follow the mounting instructions. If you are uncertain of the most
appropriate method of mounting your roof-top tent, please contact
our service centre on 1300 555 197 and we will be happy to provide
advice particular to your circumstance.
OFF THE BACK
For most large sized vehicles the opening “off the back” is
preferable. The advantages of this orientation are:
- It leaves extra roof space for additional storage
- With the tent open you will gain weather protection above your
head when accessing the back of your vehicle
- This orientation is ideally suited if you have a slot tail gate or door
- Off the back mounting is not suitable if you have a single lift tail
gate, as it will severely limit your access to the rear of the vehicle.
OFF THE SIDE
For most medium or small vehicles opening “off the side” is
preferable. The advantages of this orientation are:
- It allows for tail-gates to operate normally
- The closed tent pack is better balanced on the roof rack and
creates less wind drag.
IMPORTANT
Check with your car manufacturer or dealer to make sure that the
roof rack or roof bar is designed to hold the total weight of the
roof-top tent and two average sized adults.
It is recommended that this assembly requires a minimum of
2 persons.
Specially designed roof racks may be required and sourced from
your local roof rack dealer. Installation by experienced technicians
is strongly recommended.
Ensure appropriate safety equipment is used during
the construction of this product.
