Troubleshooting
Tent is not stable in light wind.
Ensure all guy ropes are taut and properly anchored with stakes. Check that the tent fabric is pulled tight and secured to the vehicle.
Water is leaking through seams.
Verify that seam-sealing tape is intact. For minor leaks, consider using a fabric seam sealer. Ensure the tent is pitched correctly to allow water runoff.
Tent fabric has a small tear.
Use a patch kit designed for outdoor fabrics or a strong, waterproof tape to repair the tear. Ensure the repaired area is clean and dry before application.
Difficulty sliding tent sleeve onto vehicle.
Ensure the vehicle is positioned correctly and that there are no obstructions. Gently maneuver the sleeve over the vehicle's tailgate or roofline. Lubrication is not recommended for most vehicle paintwork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the tent and identify all components: tent fabric, rods, webbing straps, stakes, and guy ropes. Attach the tent to your vehicle according to the specific instructions provided (typically involving a sleeve that slides over the vehicle's rear or side). Secure the tent poles into the designated pockets or loops to create the tent's structure. Finally, use the webbing straps, metal stakes, and guy ropes to anchor the tent firmly to the ground, ensuring it is taut and stable. Pay close attention to secure anchoring points.
Compatibility: This tent is designed to fit most car models. However, ensure your vehicle has a suitable attachment point (e.g., a tailgate or roof rack system compatible with the tent's sleeve) for optimal fit and stability.
Care: To maintain the tent's condition, always allow it to dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew. Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the tent in its provided carry bag in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the poles and fabric for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the tent away from open flames and heat sources as the fabric is flammable.
