Nomadic Roof Top Tent Owner’s Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of an Overland Vehicle Systems Nomadic Roof Top Tent. We

strive to provide the ultimate camping experience for every camper. Your top quality, durable

Roof Top Tent mounts directly to your roof rack or aftermarket roof bars and can be fully setup

in just a few minutes. It can be left on your vehicle year-round.

Overland Vehicle Systems tents are made with the most durable materials that stand up to the most

extreme conditions. High quality ripstop fabrics with superior ventilate coating provide excellent

water and wind protection yet are more breathable than other tent brands on the market.

Most of your Overland Vehicle Systems Tent components have been fully assembled at the

factory except for attaching the mounting tracks and the ladder to the base of the tent.

Installation is composed of unpacking, attaching mounting tracks to the base of the tent,

attaching the ladder, attaching the tent cover, and then mounting your Overland Vehicle

Systems Tent onto your roof rack or aftermarket roof bars. All the tools and hardware

required for installation are included. Should you have any questions, please email

sales@overlandvehiclesystems.com or call Customer Service at 833.226.4863

WARNING

Improper installation or use of your tent may result in serious injury or

death. Follow these installation instructions carefully to ensure proper

installation on your vehicle and safe use of your tent. Please check with

your vehicle manufacturer for specified loading capacity of your roof

rack. Not all factory roof racks, or aftermarket roof bars can safely

accommodate tent models.
