PROJECT OVERVIEW

STEP 1

Remove your Kings Tourer Roof Top Tent from the box and lay out all the included components.

STEP 2

To attach the alloy support rails to the bottom of the roof top tent simply grab a bolt with a washer through the holes already in the floor of the roof top tent, place the rail over the part of the bolt poking up and then slide a nylon locking nut into position and tighten.

STEP 3

Once you’ve mounted the support rails flip the tent over so you can install the ladder. Position the two brackets for your ladder slide, slide two bolts with washers through each of the holes then place a washer and bolt on top and tighten. Move your ladder into position and thread the provided bolts and washers through the hole on each side before tightening with a washer and nut.

STEP 4

Before lifting the roof top tent onto your racks ensure you’ve got the correct orientation (which way the tent will fold open). Place your rooftop tent onto your racks and move it into the desired position, once in the desired position grab the mounts and slide two bolts through each. Prop your rooftop tent up and slide all the mounts in for one side of the tent, then you’ll need to position the bolts over your roof bars or the structural part of your roof rack. Lower your roof top tent back down once you’re happy with the position of the bolts and add the steel bars and tighten them up.

STEP 5

Finally, you can put the rubber caps on the end of the support rails, place your accessories back into the tent, then put on the heavy-duty cover. Make sure you tuck in your canvas then use the strap to keep everything nice and compact.

STEP 6

Thread the stitched in sail track edge along the side of the roof top tent frame, then unzip the canvas flap and thread it through the other three sides of the roof top tent frame. Flip the cover over the roof top tent and the zip the cover to the canvas flap you just threaded into the track on the frame. Lastly, fasten everything down with the main straps.
