Tested in New Zealand. Made with care in China
Care Instructions -
1. Ensure guy ropes are out at all times during use
2. Never pack your tent away wet. If you must take your tent down when wet, ensure that it is dried
completely as soon as possible to prevent mildew forming
3. If mildew does form on your tent, wash o with warm water and a soft brush to prevent further growth,
do not use soap or detergents
4. Do not use an open ame inside your tent. The fabric has been treated with a re retardant but is in no
way re proof
5. Clean all pegs and poles before storing
6. This tent is not designed to withstand storm conditions. During strong winds, it is recommended that the
tent be taken down
7. Do not leave your tent pitched unnecessarily for extended periods of time, UV light damages the y and
will shorten the life of your tent
Condensation -
It is important that lower vents are opened at all times to reduce the risk of condensation. During humid or damp
conditions, it is recommended that inner door covers are opened to expose the mesh layer to allow additional
airow throughout your tent.
Do not use foam swabs or non bonded mats directly on the tent oor. This will cause condensation between the
mat and floor and if not dried out can lead to mildew foaming.

This document is a user manual for the Zempire Roadie 4 Pro, a camping tent designed for vehicle attachment.

Function Description:

The Zempire Roadie 4 Pro is a versatile camping tent that attaches to a vehicle, providing additional sheltered space. It is designed for personal camping use and offers features for easy setup, stability, and comfort. The tent utilizes inflatable poles for quick pitching and includes various attachment options to suit different vehicles.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Inflation Pressure: The inflatable poles should be inflated to between 7 and 9 PSI. A pressure release valve "honks" when 9 PSI is reached, indicating optimal pressure. 7 PSI is recommended in hot weather to allow for expansion, while 9 PSI is suitable for cooler or windier conditions.
• Dimensions: The layout requires allowing 4.5m beside your vehicle for sufficient pitching space.
• Kador Strip Thickness: The Roadie offers two Kador strip thicknesses: 6.5mm and 8.5mm, to accommodate different vehicle rails.
• Warranty: The tent comes with a 4-year guarantee covering faulty materials or manufacture for the original purchaser from an approved retail outlet. This warranty excludes commercial use, continuous residence, normal wear and tear, accidents, acts of God, negligence (other than by Flow Imports Ltd), failure to follow instructions, abnormal UV exposure, insect or mildew attack, or other causes beyond Flow Imports Ltd's control. Transport costs are also excluded.

Usage Features:

• Setup:
  • Siting: Choose a sheltered, flat area free from sharp objects. Position the front door away from prevailing wind and avoid pitching under trees.
  • Unpacking: It's recommended to note or photograph how the tent is packed for easier repacking. The package includes the tent fly, pre-attached guy ropes, additional guy ropes, pegs, pump, pressure release valve, and pressure gauge.
  • Pump Setup: The Zempire double-action pump includes a pressure gauge and release valve. A double adapter allows two poles to be inflated simultaneously.
  • Layout: Unroll the fly with the floor facing down, positioning the large door with the logo furthest from the vehicle.
  • Attachment Options:
    • Kador Strips: Unzip the Kador strips and thread either the 6.5mm or 8.5mm strip through the vehicle's rail.
    • Velcro® Strips: Use the pre-attached Velcro® tab to connect to the roof bars.
    • Pole & Clamp: Slide the pole into the sleeve at the top of the rear section, then use clamps to secure it to the vehicle's gutter at both ends and in the center.
  • Pegging: Peg out the 4 corners of the sewn-in ground sheet at a 45° angle to ensure tension and a flat floor. Remaining peg loops should also be pegged. Steel pegs are included, but specialized pegs may be needed for rocky or loose sandy ground.
  • Airflow during Pitching: Open all door and window covers (leaving mesh doors closed) to allow air to enter during inflation and maintain the tent's shape.
  • Valve Attachment: Attach the external inflation valves (located under the rain sock) to the pole opening by removing the cap and screwing them in firmly.
  • Inflation: Inflate each tube from front to rear, supporting the center of poles until they assume shape. Ensure pole bases sit correctly on Velcro patches.
  • Floor Setting: Align pole bases to ensure the floor is flat and taut, and realign corner pegging points if necessary.
  • Anchor Fins: Firmly peg out anchor fins (webbing straps at each end of the tent) at a 45° angle for stability. Double pegging the Steel "O" rings may be needed in windy or soggy conditions.
  • Guy Lines: Pre-attached guy lines should be used at all times, sitting taut but not distorting the tent's shape.
  • Inner Pods: Optional inner pods are available, with color-coded attachments for easy installation (right-hand or left-hand side options).
• Condensation Management: Open lower vents at all times. In humid conditions, open inner door covers to expose the mesh. Avoid using foam swabs or non-bonded mats directly on the tent floor to prevent condensation and mildew.

Maintenance Features:

• General Care:
  • Ensure guy ropes are out during use.
  • Never pack the tent wet; if it gets wet, dry it completely as soon as possible to prevent mildew.
  • If mildew forms, wash it off with warm water and a soft brush (no soap or detergents).
  • Do not use open flames inside the tent, as the fire-retardant fabric is not fireproof.
  • Clean all pegs and poles before storing.
  • The tent is not designed for storm conditions; take it down in strong winds.
  • Avoid leaving the tent pitched unnecessarily, as UV light damages the fly and shortens its life.
• Deflation and Packing:
  • Close mesh doors, leaving covers open for air escape.
  • Loosen inner pod webbing straps.
  • Detach the Roadie from the vehicle.
  • Unpeg all guy ropes and roll them up to prevent tangling.
  • Unpeg anchor fin webbing straps.
  • Unpeg all peg points except the 4 corners. Clean and dry pegs before storing.
  • Open all pole valves and wait for air to expel.
  • Unpeg the remaining 4 corners, clean, and pack pegs.
  • Lay the carry bag at one end of the tent. Fold the tent to 2/3s of the bag's length, folding from the "non-valve" side to the "valve-side" to expel air.
  • Place pole, pump, and peg bags on top of the folded tent at the bedroom end. Roll towards the door end, making multiple rolls if needed to expel all air.
  • Tension the tent with webbing straps and stand it on end.
  • Pull the carry bag over the tent, tip it over, and tension the draw cord. The oversized carry bag ensures easy packing.
• UV Degradation: Tent fabrics can weaken from prolonged sunlight. For extended periods of strong sunlight, a Zempire® roof cover is recommended to protect from UV damage. UV degradation is not covered under warranty, nor are permanent sites, displays, or commercial purposes.
