Mounting

The tent can be fitted to any vehicle with two crossbars across the roof or a roof rack (platform). If the rack has a frame higher than its base, you may need an extra bar at frame level so the tent does not drop into the rack.

The mounting brackets are adjustable – they slide along the long side of the tent to match the spacing of your crossbars or roof rack

It is fixed to the crossbars with 8 bolts and 4 flat bars, forming 4 clamps – two per bar.

Minimum crossbar spacing is half the tent size – 70 cm for the 140, 80 cm for the 160, 95 cm for the 190

Setting up

1. Unzip the cover and remove it from the tent
2. Fully extend the ladder
3. Use the ladder as a lever to open the tent
4. Fit the poles supporting the window awnings and rainfly (and on the long version, the pole tensioning the awning over the ladder)
