Step by step instructions

Mounting your tent to your roof racks is easy, but you’ll need at least two people to lift it. We recommend mounting the tent from the back of your vehicle to reduce the risk of scratching it. The tent's thinner “pointy” end should be facing towards the front of your vehicle.

Ideally, you want two people to lift at the front and two at the back.

Grab the bottom panel and lift to your waist, then your shoulders, then above your head.

Gently slide the tent onto your roof rack/bar system and ensure it’s aligned correctly.

Insert two square-headed bolts into the rail under the tent and slide them along so there’s one on each side of your crossbar.

Attach the bottom bracket under your crossbar, fitting it over the two bolts.

Attach one nut on each bolt and tighten them using the 17mm spanner provided. Make sure to tighten them at the same time.

Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining three brackets and your roof tent should be securely set-up and ready to go. Check out the Tech Talk video below for simple instructions on opening your roof tent, using the telescopic ladder, and erecting the tent canopy. For more details, refer to the instruction manual that comes with the tent or the digital version above.
