FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the tent?
The tent is designed to sleep 3 adults comfortably. While not explicitly stated, it's built for robust use and should accommodate the weight of 3 average adults.
How do I clean the Poly Cotton Canvas material?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the waterproofing or UV treatment. Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing.
What is the R-value or insulation rating of the mattress?
The mattress is a 2” thick, high-density foam designed for comfort and moisture resistance. Specific R-value insulation ratings are not provided, but it offers better insulation than sleeping directly on the tent floor.
Can I use this tent in freezing temperatures?
The tent is made from durable materials suitable for extreme conditions. However, comfort in freezing temperatures will depend on appropriate sleeping bags and thermal layers, as the tent itself provides basic insulation.

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of purchase. Please refer to your sales receipt or contact the place of purchase for warranty details.
How much does the entire kit weigh when packed?

What are the dimensions when packed?
The packed size of the roof tent is 150cm (length) x 125cm (width) x 30cm (height).
Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to open or close
Ensure the tent is fully extended or retracted. Check for obstructions around the hinges or frame. Lubricate the assisted opening mechanism if needed.
Water leakage after rain
Verify that the PU coating is intact and that all seams are properly sealed. Ensure the travel cover is securely fastened and waterproof. Check that the tent fabric is completely dry before packing.
Annex is difficult to attach
Ensure the main tent is fully deployed. Check that the zippers and channels for the annex are clean and free of debris. Refer to the annex installation guide.
Ladder feels unstable
Ensure the ladder is extended to its full length and locked. Place the ladder on firm, level ground. Check that the ladder's mounting points on the tent are secure.
Mold or mildew develops
This typically occurs from packing the tent while wet. Air the tent out thoroughly in a dry, shaded area. Clean affected areas with a mild solution of water and vinegar, then dry completely before storing.
