The provided manual describes the Adventure Kings Tourer X Roof Top Tent (RTT), a recreational camping tent designed for secure mounting on a vehicle roof. The manual, identified by SKU AKTA-RTTPS_01 and version V1.5, covers safety information, components, installation instructions, setup instructions, pack-up instructions, and roof window instructions, along with warranty details.
Function Description:
The Tourer X RTT serves as a portable and elevated camping shelter, providing a comfortable sleeping area off the ground. It is designed to be securely mounted on a vehicle's roof rack, offering convenience for campers and outdoor enthusiasts. The tent features a hard shell for protection when packed and a deployable structure for use. It includes an integrated ladder for access, window poles for ventilation and structure, and an internal roof pole for support. The design allows for relatively quick setup and pack-up, making it suitable for various camping scenarios. The tent also incorporates a roof window feature for enhanced ventilation and views, though its use is subject to specific weather conditions.
Important Technical Specifications (derived from components and instructions):
- Type: Hard Shell Roof Top Tent
- Mounting: Designed for secure attachment to a vehicle roof rack using supplied mounting plates, bolts, and nuts.
- Structure: Features a hard shell lid and base, with a fabric tent body that expands when deployed.
- Access: Utilizes a telescopic ladder for entry and exit.
- Ventilation/Light: Includes windows with poles for structural support and a roof window for additional ventilation and views.
- Internal Support: An internal roof pole is used to support the tent's internal structure.
- Fasteners: M8 x 55 Bolts (8 qty) and M8 Nuts (8 qty) are used for mounting.
- Mounting System: Employs mounting slides (8 qty) and mounting plates (4 qty) for attachment to roof rack crossbars.
- Weight Considerations: The RTT adds weight and height to the vehicle. Users must ensure the roof rack can support the RTT's weight plus two adults, and that the combined weight of the RTT and roof rack remains below the vehicle's roof load limit. Off-road travel increases dynamic stresses.
Usage Features:
- Installation:
- Requires a team of people or a forklift for lifting the RTT onto the vehicle roof rack due to its weight.
- Involves unfolding the tent to access fittings, then closing it for mounting.
- Mounting is achieved by assembling bolts with mounting track adaptors, pushing track slides into the RTT's underside tracks, aligning bolts around roof rack crossbars, and securing with mounting plates and nyloc nuts.
- Crucially, the RTT should be positioned to allow space for lid latches to open and close, and its weight should be centered over the middle of the vehicle.
- Regular checks of bolted connections for security are recommended.
- Setup:
- Requires the vehicle to be on level ground with the handbrake engaged.
- Involves unbuckling the lid, extending the telescopic ladder to its full length, and pulling the ladder feet down to fully open the tent bed.
- The ladder should be adjusted to ensure the RTT floor is level.
- Window poles are fitted into holes on the RTT base and hooked into window eyelets.
- The fly is secured to the RTT base.
- An internal roof pole is installed by connecting it to an internal U-pole via a C-clip, extending it towards the hard-shell roof, and feeding it through a black hanging loop.
- An optional ceiling cover can be installed.
- Pack Up:
- Requires removal of all camping items, internal roof pole, and window poles.
- The fly is unhooked from the RTT base.
- The ladder is lifted to fold the floor into the RTT.
- The ladder is collapsed by pushing its bottom sections together, releasing the lock, and pushing the runs into themselves. It is then strapped together.
- A strap attached to the RTT lid is pulled down to lower the lid, with any overlapping tent material tucked in.
- Finally, both buckles are closed to secure the lid to the RTT base, ensuring all tent material is packed under the lid.
- Roof Window Use:
- The roof window can only be used when the RTT Fly is rolled up.
- It is explicitly stated: "DO NOT USE ROOF WINDOW IF WEATHER IS NOT CLEAR."
- The procedure involves uncliping the fly from the RTT base, unhooking it from main door window poles, unzipping the mesh window, unzipping the canvas window, rolling the fly up to the lid, and securing it with ties.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Checks: All bolted connections should be checked regularly for tightness and general condition.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, the mention of "fair wear and tear" and "damage caused by mould" implies the need for regular cleaning and proper drying to prevent mould growth.
- Storage: Proper packing away, ensuring all tent material is under the lid and secured, contributes to the longevity of the product.
- Warranty: A 12-month limited warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal usage conditions. This warranty does not cover damage from improper use, faulty installation, removal/reinstallation costs, travel expenses, transport damage, indirect losses, or damage from mould, insects, animals, misuse, incorrect operation, adverse weather, accidents, and fair wear and tear. This highlights the importance of proper usage and maintenance to avoid voiding the warranty.
