WHAT’S IN THE BOX!? 1) Start by cutting open one end of the box. Be careful not to cut the tent fabric! Fold back the box flaps and flip the box so the open side is pointed down. You should be able to slide the box straight up and off the tent. 2) Lay the tent so the side with four holes in the base is facing up (not the side with the velcro tie-down.) 3) Locate the mounting rails and set them aside.
SOME ASSEMBLY REQU’D Installing the mounting rails: 1) You’ll need to remove the black stickers covering both sides of the 4 bolt holes, 8 total. To reach the ones inside, reach through one of the tent doors/ windows and under the mattress. 2) Take the mounting rails and align them with the holes.
SOME ASSEMBLY REQU’D Installing the boot bags and gear hammock: 1) Install the boot bags by sliding the top end into the frame on the side where the ladder is mounted. 2) Install the gear hammock by clipping to the D-rings around the base of the tent.
VEHICLE INSTALL 1) Lift the tent onto you rack and get it roughly centered. 2) Grab the eight sliding brackets. If the bolts are not installed, insert them through the hole in the bracket so that the head sits flush inside the channel. 3) Slide 2 brackets into each corner of the mounting rails ensuring that they are in the thin channel along the bottom of the rail.
SETTING UP CAMP Setting up the tent: 1) To remove the cover, unclip the 8 buckles securing it. Find the end of the zipper, completely unzip the cover, and fold it back. The cover can be removed by sliding it to one side out of the channel in the frame. 2) Undo the 4 straps keeping the tent closed.
SETTING UP CAMP Setting up the annex: 1) To start, you’ll need to remove the tent cover if you have not already. Do so by sliding it to one side and out of the channel in the frame. 2) You’ll also want to get the ladder out of the way by collapsing it and securing it with the velcro tie-down on the base of the tent.
