Will this tent fit my vehicle?
Roof top tents are not vehicle specific. It is up to you to provide a stable roof rack that can support the weight of the tent on top, in addition to the people inside. Always refer to your vehicle manual.
Heavy-duty crossbars (left to right) are necessary to support the weight of the tent, and we recommend checking your factory rail system (front to back) to confirm it will hold the weight of your tent and the people inside. Max width of your crossbar should be 3.25" or less so there are no modifications needed to use the provided brackets. If your crossbars are wider than 3.25" you will need to purchase brackets from another source or have them manufactured for you.
Instructions:
1. Mounting your tent requires a minimum of 2 people for lifting. Your tent will ONLY OPEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE Position your tent on top of the vehicle's roof rack, bed rack, or trailer and center to your liking.
2. 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).
3. Run the bolts through the mounting brackets holes, thread nuts onto each bolt.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Reposition the ladder to your desired height/angle.
7. Install the supplied tension rods on the overhang of the tent & windows, open the door, and enjoy!
