Operation of Camper
Opening of camper
Before opening and folding the camper lid over, you must remove any items that you are carrying on the (aluminum roof bars) of the camper lid or have placed on the camper lid; due to weight
restrictions on the tted ram. Extra weight will
overload the ram and cause damage to the ram. (Any overloading of the lid will void the warranty to the lid and to the ram).
* Image of DC model is for display purposes only (SC model has 1 extra catch as noted)
Unfasten 3 catches on RH top side of camper (SC Models only) Unfasten 2 catches on RH top side of camper (DC Models only)
Unfasten 1 catch at front of camper (SC and DC Models)
Unfasten 3 catches at rear of camper (SC and DC Models)
Once you have released all catches from the lid, go to the RH side lockable door of the camper to turn on the remote control switch. You will view 2 x switches and fuses. Turn the one on that says – remote control.
If you cannot locate your remote control
receiver/s or the batteries are at, you can
over-ride the remote control system by placing the left switch on manual and then use the right toggle switch to go up or down as required.
Up = close lid, Down = open lid.

Opening of camper (cont.)
• Swivel the jack stands into position by pulling the handle out to drop legs into upright position. GEO trailer model only).
• Make sure there is nothing protruding outside the LH side of your vehicle/camper. When the camper lid opens and folds out to the LH side of the vehicle it will hit the protrusion/obstacle when folding out.
• Press the (unlock) button on the remote control receiver to open the camper. Stop opening the camper lid about ¾ of the way from being completely open, (or when the lid is in a 45 degree position from ground level). To stop
the opening of the camper remove your nger o the remote control receiver.
• At this point drop the lid legs by pulling the spring bolt and then fold the leg into a 90 degree position. It is recommended to pull the canvas over the edge of the camper lid at this point, because it is at an easy height for reaching and it is easier to pull over the edge at this level.
Continue to pull the rest of the canvas over the front edges of the camper body and the rear edges. (This front & rear location point is just near the bow pivot point, above the rear kitchen on LH side of door and on the front edge).

Opening of camper (cont.)
• Please ensure the canvas is not over the LH front F bracket). If you do not follow these instructions you will pull
the canvas sail track out of oor or tear the canvas.
• Ensure that when the camper lid is opening, that the top of the lid does not jam on the ground. If the lid is not going to clear the ground then you will need to – Raise the LH air bag upwards a fraction or lower the RH side airbag if it is sitting to high. (This information
applies to GEO trailer or vehicles with tted airbags). If you have a coil suspension trailer
or vehicle you will have to use the rear jack stands to alter the levels required.
Continue to press (arrow down) button on remote control receiver to nalise opening of
camper to horizontal positioning.
• Release airbag pressure so camper is sitting on stands.( Air bag trailer only)
• Pull canvas around edge of lid (ground level) and body to prevent water leakage.
• Release the internal cords that pull the canvas in from side to side.
• MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR REMOTE OFF AT SWITCH BOARD.
Please ensure that the main tent doors REMAIN OPEN AT ALL TIMES when opening and closing the camper lid. Once the camper is open you can enter inside and release the step platform downwards into position and go to bed. You can open up the camper whilst it is standing on its legs, only if you are on stable ground. You will need to put a larger platform down at the foot of the leg to create a larger surface area if the ground is not stable. If the camper is still sitting on the back of the vehicle tray, you do not have to place the legs into
the slide-on camper to open.
• If you are opening the camper as seen in the photo you will have to make sure that the LH rear leg is all the way in. If it is sitting beyond the edge of the camper the leg will hit the side of the camper and cause damage when opening the lid.

Closing of camper
• GEO trailer model - Lift LH & RH air bag pressure up to 90psi (air-bag trailer only)
• Go around the outside and release ALL the bungie loops that hold the canvas over the
side of the camper. If you do not do this, then you will tear the bungie loops out of the
canvas and lift the canvas o the camper edge. (Failure to follow these instructions will
void warranty).
• Close all windows. Leave the velcro on front and rear doors open and unzipped over bungee cords inside camper that pull the canvas in. DOORS MUST BE LEFT OPEN. If you close the main tent doors you will tear the canvas, because it places too much pressure on the internal bows. (Failure to follow these instructions will void warranty).
• Fold up the internal step platform that is in front of the drawers and fold legs of step platform away. If the step is left down you will cause major damage to the lid of the camper when it is closing up.
• Pull your pillows away from the back edge/head at least 300mm from the back edge of
the camper, as the internal bows lay down in this position with the canvas.
• Turn o the internal lights and make sure there is nothing sitting higher than the black
ruber seals. As the lid comes down and sits at this level.
• Turn Remote control on at the switch panel.
• Press lock button on remote control receiver to commence closure. Lifting the lid with
one hand will help preserve battery power and will close the camper at a faster rate.

Closing of camper (cont.)
Once the camper is it at the 45 degree position,
stop pressing the remote and drop the lid legs down
at.
• At this stage you should also go around the
camper and tuck in the canvas before the rst
internal bow comes down. This will aid in holding
the rst layer of canvas down when you continue
to close the camper.
• GEO trailer models - it is best to use a tent pole or a broom to tuck the canvas in between
the nose cone and camper. GEO trailer models - have steps on the front nose cone that you can walk up to tuck the canvas in.
• STOP about ¾ of the way before the lid is completely closed because you need to make sure the canvas is not protruding over the corner of the bed base on the front LH side of the camper and that the canvas is cleared from the bow brackets at the front and rear. Also at this point in the DC models, the mattress needs to be lifted up at least 200mm, this should line up with bottom step of the stairs (if this is not done, the mattress will be crushed and torn)
