Troubleshooting
Tent does not open smoothly
Check that the gas struts are not obstructed and that the travel cover is fully detached. Ensure no debris is caught in the opening mechanism.
LED light is not working
Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the tent's port and a functional USB power source. Test the power source with another device.
Water ingress during rain
Ensure the tent fabric is taut and that the travel cover seals completely when closed. Check for any tears or damage in the canvas and seams.
Ladder feels unstable
Confirm that the ladder is fully extended and locked into position. Ensure it is placed on stable ground and at the correct angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Mount the roof tent securely onto compatible roof bars using the provided fixings. Ensure the roof bars are rated to support the 65kg tent weight. To open, release the travel cover and allow the assisted gas struts to lift the shell. Extend the ladder to its full height (max 2.3M) for access. Connect the internal USB LED light to a power source.
Compatibility: The Ventura XL is designed to mount on the roof bars of most cars, 4x4s, pickups, vans, and trailers. It requires a robust crossbar system (roof bars) that can safely support its weight and dimensions.
Care: Clean the fibreglass shell with mild soap and water. The canvas fabric should be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the tent is completely dry before closing and storing to prevent mildew. Periodically check fixings and ladder for wear and tear.
