Folded on vehicle

  • Incorrectly mounted roof racks and rooftop tents can come loose during travel and cause serious accidents. Follow the accompanying instructions on how to install, use and handle the roof top tent and roof racks.
  • Before driving away, ensure tent mounting brackets and vehicle racks are securely fastened. Check at regular intervals on longer trips and every 2 hours when driving on rough terrain.
  • Make sure the tent is completely closed and straps are secured before driving.
  • Do not drive a vehicle while the tent is deployed.
  • The vehicle’s speed must always be adjusted to the load being carried and the current driving conditions, such as the road type, road quality, wind conditions, traffic intensity and applicable speed limits, but must under no circumstances exceed 130 km/h (80 mph). Applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations must always be observed.
  • Drive slowly over speed bumps, maximum speed 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
  • The vehicle’s driving characteristics and braking behaviour change and its vulnerability to side-winds increases when a load is carried on the roof.
  • When using an automatic car-wash facility, the roof top tent and roof rack must first be removed.
  • The total permissible laden weight of the given motor vehicle may not be exceeded. The instructions of the motor vehicle manufacturer in respect of the maximum roof weight must be observed.
  • Calculation of allowed roof load:

    Weight of roof rack

    + weight of roof top tent

    + weight of payload

    = available roof load
  • The height of the given vehicle can increase by up to 600 mm (depending on the roof rack used)
  • Beware of low garage entrances, low clearances in general, low-hanging branches, etc.
  • For reasons of fuel economy and the safety of other road users, the rooftop tent and roof rack should be removed when not in use.
  • For your own safety, you should only use tested (e.g. GS-tested) roof racks that are authorised for usage in conjunction with your vehicle.
  • In order to avoid generating excessive lifting forces, the rooftop tent must be mounted parallel to the line of the road and not at an angle.
  • If no special fitting positions are given in the assembly instructions, try to maintain a minimum distance of 700 mm between the roof rack bars. Please note that changes (e.g. additional drill holes) to the rooftop tent fixation system are not permissible.
  • In addition to the rooftop tent instructions, due consideration should also be given to mounting instructions for the given roof rack and the operating instructions of the given vehicle.

 

Deployed tent

  • KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THE TENT FABRIC. The tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84 and CGSB 182-1. The fabric may burn if left in continuous contact with any flame source. The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame resistant properties ineffective.
  • Do not use fuel-burning or oxygen-consuming devices inside or close to the tent. This includes candles, gas lanterns, kerosene lamps and cooking and heating appliances.
  • Do not put the tent near a campfire or any other flame source. Keep a distance of at least 19ft / 6 m.
  • Fall or strangulation hazard- Never leave a child unattended in the tent.
  • The ladder must remain in place to support the tent.
  • Do not retract the ladder while it´s in use.
  • Read and follow the warnings and instructions on the ladder.
  • Use caution while climbing up and down the ladder.

 

Maintenance

  • The roof top tent should be carefully cleaned and maintained. For this purpose, only use a solution of water and standard household washing liquid without any alcohol, bleach or ammonium additives as otherwise the surface of the roof top tent could suffer damage.
  • For hardshell tents, it is recomended to regularly apply a wax coating in order to maintain a glossy surface.
  • Thule tents are highly water resistant. Moisture found inside of the tent is likely caused by condensation. To minimize the amount of condensation, always keep windows or vents open. Also avoid keeping wet clothes inside of the tent.
  • Thule tent fabrics have a water resistant coating and sealed seams to prevent water from entering the tent during normal use. It is recommended to periodically coat the tent with an additional layer of waterproof spray or add seam sealer to maintain water resistance. These items are commonly found at local outdoor stores.
  • Always dry the rooftop tent thoroughly before closing it. Failure to do so may cause growth of mold and mildew.
  • Prior to closing the tent, lift the mattress and ensure that the underside is dry.
  • Pull zippers in a gentle fashion, never force, as this may damage the zippers. If a zipper is having trouble, check to ensure that no fabric is caught in the zipper and have someone help reduce tension by pulling the zipper together.
  • Keep the zippers free from dirt and periodically lubricate them with silicone spray.
  • Clean dirt from the ladder before collapsing the tent. The ladder can be lubricated with silicone spray.
  • Ensure that the tent is fully dry prior to storage. Store the tent in a dry and cool environment that is free from direct sunlight. The rooftop tent should not be stored outside exposed to the elements (e.g. rain or direct sunlight).
  • Tents can be stored flat or on their side. It is recommended to place them on something soft like a rolled towel or foam block. To prevent denting or damage, do not place heavy or sharp items on the tent.
  • The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or accident that may occur as a result of non-compliance with the usage instructions, modifications made to parts or usage of any parts other than the manufacturer’s original parts.
  • The usage instructions should be kept together with the given vehicle’s operating instructions and carried in the vehicle when in use and en route. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual will void your warranty. You should therefore observe the usage instructions to the letter and only use the original parts supplied. In the event of lost or worn out parts, replace them with original spare parts that can be obtained from a specialist stockist or the manufacturer.
