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. This does not make it fireproof. The fabric will burn if left in 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.

CAUTION

• Build campfires downwind and several meters away from the
tent. Be sure to fully extinguish fires before leaving a campsite
or before retiring for the night

• Exercise extreme caution when using fuel-powered lanterns or
heaters inside or around the tent. Use battery-operated
lanterns whenever possible

• Do not refuel lamps, heaters or stoves inside the tent

• Extinguish or turn off all lanterns before going to sleep

• Do not smoke inside the tent

• Do not store flammable liquids inside a tent

• NEVER run the vehicle engine when the tent is attached

• Do not install the tent when the temperature is below
0ºC/32ºF or when your vehicle is wet, it may cause damage

• Allow adequate ventilation inside the tent at all times

female clip between the truck box and the tailgate (you may
have to lift the tailgate to do so). Connect the male clip strap to
the corresponding strap with the female clip.

5. Assemble the tent poles by unfolding each section.

CAMPSITE SELECTION

other hard or sharp objects

• Park the vehicle in the chosen campsite. Turn off the engine
and apply the parking brake

the truck. Locate the front door and place this end at the
