Preparation

 

First, make sure your vehicle is equipped with a suitable roof rack. Installing a car roof tent requires a sturdy rack to support the weight of the tent. Check the rack’s carrying capacity to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the tent and the user.

 

Install the rack

 

If your vehicle does not have a rack, you need to install one first. Choose a rack that matches the vehicle model and install it according to the instructions. When installing, it is recommended to lay a blanket on the roof to prevent scratches on the roof during installation.

 

Install the bottom bracket of the tent

 

Fix the bracket at the bottom of the tent to the bottom plate of the tent. Usually, the bottom plate of the tent is composed of an aluminum alloy frame and foam plastic insulation material to ensure that it is sturdy and durable. Use a U-shaped fixing assembly to firmly fix the bracket to the bottom of the tent.

Lift to the roof

 

Lift the tent with the bracket installed onto the roof rack. This step requires two people to cooperate to ensure that the tent is placed steadily on the rack. Secure the brackets at the bottom of the tent to the luggage rack to ensure that the rooftop tent is stable and immovable.

 

Securing the tent

 

Use the fixing screws and clamps that come with the tent to securely secure the tent to the luggage rack. Make sure all screws are tightened to prevent loosening during driving. Check the stability of the tent to ensure that it does not shake during driving.

 

Installing the ladder

 

Most rooftop tents are equipped with a telescopic ladder. Secure the ladder to one side of the tent to ensure that it is stable and can withstand the weight of the user. The ladder can be installed on the side or back according to personal preference.

 

Unfolding the tent

 

After installation, unfold the tent and perform a final inspection. Check and make sure that all parts of the tent can be unfolded normally, and the mattress and internal facilities are intact. If the tent is equipped with a waterproof cover or awning, you can also install it together.

 

Pre-use inspection

 

Before each use, conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that all fixings are secure and the tent is unfolded normally. Pay special attention to the stability of the ladder and the waterproof performance of the tent.
