WARNING

!

Keep all flame and heat sources away from the tent fabric. The tent is made with flame-resistant fabric which
meets CPAI-84 specifications. It is not fireproof. The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with any flame
source. The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame-resistant properties
ineffective.

To prevent carbon monoxide from entering the vehicle and tent area, do not run the engine, do not cook inside
the tent, and do not use a gas heater in the tent. Carbon monoxide is dangerous to your health.

Engine must be off and exhaust must be fully cooled before tent installation and use.

15) To install the gear loft, place each corner hook of the
gear loft into the loop located on the ceiling of the tent.

TENT CARE TIPS

1) It is recommended you seam seal the seams of your tent
prior to use as water may penetrate the needle holes in
the fabric. This is common with tents and is not a defect.

2) Condensation will form on the inside surface of your tent.
It is caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration
or any wet items inside the tent. Water on the inside of
the tent is NOT leakage through the tent fabric. To reduce
leave door and windows partially open.

3) The water resistant coating may wear down over time.
It is suggested to spray a water resistant coating onto
the tent and rain fly every few years.

HOW TO FOLD THE TENT

After you detach the tent from the vehicle and remove the
poles for the tent, follow the below steps to fold the tent so it
fits back into the carrying bag.

1) Lay the tent flat on the ground (make sure windows and
doors are open so air can escape).

2) Fold the vehicle sleeve in towards the center of the tent.

3) Fold the screen room in towards the center of the tent.
Make sure the tent is flat.

4) Fold the tent into thirds by folding side A onto side B.
Fold side C onto side B. This should produce a long
rectangle that is the width of the pole bag. If it is larger,
the tent will not fit into the carrying bag.

A

B

5) Fold the large rectangle into thirds again by folding each
end towards the center.

C

4) Avoid spraying insect repellent, hair spray, etc., inside or
near your tent, as they may be harmful to the tent fabric
and cause leakage.

5) Do not leave your tent set up in direct sunlight longer
than necessary. If left in sunlight for prolonged periods of
time, fabric will fade and weaken.

6) If zippers stick, lubricate with silicon. Never force a zipper
as this will bend and prevent the zipper from closing.
Continual use in a sandy environment can cause a slider
to erode and fail to close.

7) NEVER roll up or pack away a wet/damp tent. This will
cause mildew. Make sure your tent is completely dry
before storing. Store your tent in a dry place.

8) To cleaning, hand wash with a sponge using mild soap
Never use washing machine or detergent.
