MOUNTING THE PRODUCT TO YOUR VEHICLE

When mounting your RTT to a vehicle, ensure that the pre-installed vehicle mounting channels run in the opposite direction to the bars of your roof rack or roof bars and that the tent in centred on the roof bars or roof rack if possible.
It is recommended to mount the RTT to three roof bars as detailed in this instruction manual. If your vehicle is unable to accommodate three roof bars, two roof bars may be used. If using two roof bars, ensure a minimum spacing of 800mm between the roof bars.

Place two bolts into a mounting plate as seen below. Repeat for the remaining 5 mounting plates.
Slide three mounting plates into each vehicle mounting channel, and measuring off your vehicles roof bars or roof rack, space the bolts so that there is a bolt on each side of the rail to be clamped. Ensure to fit all 12 bolts, clamping your RTT to the vehicles roof bars or roof rack in 6 separate locations.
Place the closed RTT on top of your vehicle's roof rack system. Please ensure you do not exceed safe manual handling limits. Some assistance may be required.
In each clamping location, pass the two vehicle mounting bolts through the mounting plate and fasten with 1 Nylock nut per bolt. Repeat for the remaining 5 steel plates.
After ensuring the RTT is positioned correctly, tighten all 12 bolts securely. It is important that you check all the mounting bolts and brackets periodically to ensure they are securely fastened to your base board and roof rack or after-market roof bars.
