Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your vehicle is equipped with compatible roof bars or a roof rack capable of supporting the tent's weight (45kgs base weight, up to 50kgs gross).
- Follow the included instructions to securely mount the tent to your roof bars using the provided fixings.
- Once mounted, release the straps, and the tent will unfold automatically. Deploy the telescopic ladder to access the interior.
- Set up the annex if needed, and organize your gear using the internal hammock.
Compatibility:
The Ventura Deluxe 1.4 is designed to mount on the roof bars of most standard cars, 4x4s, pick-up trucks, vans, and trailers. Ensure your roof bars have a sufficient weight rating and are spaced appropriately for the tent's mounting points.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, allow the tent to dry completely before packing to prevent mold and mildew. Clean the fabric with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Fabric Maintenance: Periodically inspect the fabric for any damage. Consider using a fabric re-proofer spray annually, especially after deep cleaning or if storing for extended periods, to maintain its waterproof and UV-resistant properties.
- Storage: Store the tent in its waterproof cover in a dry, cool place. Ensure it is completely dry before long-term storage.
