Product Information
Full details
This VidaXL Car Tent in Green is designed for adventurers seeking a convenient and comfortable extension to their vehicle for camping trips, festivals, and road journeys. Its primary benefit is providing a quick, waterproof, and wind-resistant shelter that attaches directly to your car, offering additional living space for up to two people. A key consideration is its compatibility, as it's designed to fit most car models but requires proper attachment. Key features include a durable polyester construction with a PU coating, taped seams for superior water resistance, a heavy-duty ground sheet, E-port for electrical access, and double-zippered doors for versatile entry.

Troubleshooting
Tent is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the PU coating is intact. Check that the ground sheet is correctly positioned and that water is not pooling around the base.
Tent is difficult to attach to the car.
Review the instructions for the webbing strap attachment points. Ensure you are using suitable points on your vehicle and that the straps are tensioned correctly.
Tent poles are hard to insert.
Ensure the poles are aligned correctly with the pole sleeves. Do not force them; gentle pressure and correct alignment should suffice.
Fabric smells strongly of chemicals.
Air out the tent in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before first use. The smell should dissipate.
Tent does not feel stable in wind.
Ensure all webbing straps are securely fastened and tensioned. If possible, use additional guy lines (not included) for extra stability in windy conditions.
