How to use car camping roof tent

Assembly is easy:

The frame is fitted to your roof top tent with 4 brackets.
The assembled frame and tent is then fitted on top of your roof rack, where again you need to fit 4 brackets to hold it. This must be done in a way that will allow you to easily fasten and loosen the assembly.
Now use the legs to push up the tent with a pre-drilled stopper pin which determines the clearance on your roof rack. This is done relatively easily, two legs at a time, with not much strength required. You will, however, need two people to do this.
Now your vehicle can be moved from under the platform and you are free to explore.

Once your tent is up you have 2 options.

You can fit the stays and rope on to the platform and then comfortably and safely sleep on top. (We have tested the frame weight up to 600 kgs) or...
You can leave the platform standing without putting the stays on the legs, and reverse the vehicle underneath the platform when you are ready to sleep.
In any case, the procedure is simple and after a few practice rounds it should only take you 15 minutes to set up the entire thing.

All the components (legs and stays etc.) are stored in a special bracket which is fitted to the platform frame. This bracket is very easy to reach and easy to store the components into.

In addition we have designed a canvas "wrap around" tent, which creates a nice gazebo effect underneath the platform (can also be used as a storage area when you go off to explore).
