Mounting Tent

• Mounting your tent requires a minimum of 2 people for lifting.
• Your tent will ONLY OPEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. Position the tent on top of the vehicle's roof rack, bed rack, or trailer and center to your liking.
• Using the supplied hardware and mounting plates, slide the hardware into the channel so there are 2 bolts per corner (one in front and one behind the vehicle's crossbars).
• Run the bolts through the mounting brackets holes, thread nuts onto each bolt.
• Confirm you are happy with the position of the tent, vehicle balance, and appearance then tighten all nuts to the brackets until the tent cannot move.
• Undo the buckles on the side of the tent, push up on the handle to actuate the hydraulic rams to open the tent hard shell, Pull out on the telescoping ladder until it is fully extended- pull down on ladder until the folding side of the tent has opened and extended fully.
• Reposition the ladder to your desired height/angle.
• Install the supplied tension rods on the overhang of the tent & windows, open the door, and enjoy!

Limit Sun Exposure

• Prolonged UV exposure can break down the clear coat.
• Hot sunlight can open small pores in the coating, letting dirt and debris in.
• Park in a garage or shaded area whenever possible.

Remove Bird & Bug Droppings Promptly

• Droppings are highly acidic and can eat through the clear coat.
• Rinse them off immediately with water.

Guard Against Salt

• Salt (from coastal air or winter roads) can corrode the clear coat.
• Rinse or wash your tent regularly, just as you would a surfboard.

Avoid Tree Sap

• Sap can soak into the clear coat or attract dirt that grinds into it.
• Avoid parking under trees when possible.

Wash & Wax Regularly

• Hand wash to remove dust and dirt that wear down the coating.
• Use automotive clear-coat protection products to seal and protect the surface.
• Apply following manufacturer instructions—usually as often as you wash your vehicle.
