Installing information

The distance between the front and back roof rack on your vehicle should be more than 800mm, and both the roof racks and vehicle should have a minimum dynamic load rating of 75kg. Please check with your vehicle manufacturer that the roof is suitable to handle the weight. This tent can not be mounted to both the cab and canopy of a ute, as the Ute can flex, resulting in damaging the tent.
