Before You Set Out
●
It is recommended that you assemble this tent at home at least once before your trip to familiarize yourself
with the process, and make sure your tent is in good order.
●
After initial set-up, it is recommended that you spray the tent lightly with water and allow it to dry completely.
This
“seasons” the canvas. The water causes the canvas to shrink slightly, closing needle holes where the
canvas was stitched. This process is only required once.
Assembly
STEP 1: Assemble Mounting Rails
(This
step is for the 8ft version model
#7218. If your tent is not an 8 ft. tent,
skip to step 2.
You only have to do this
the first time you use your tent. Once the
rails are assembled, leave them
assembled. Place one long section of the
mounting rail and one short section
together end to end. Place the
connecting brace over the joint of the two
sections and bolt together as shown in
the photo on the right. Make sure the
connection is flush and secure.
Assemble the second mounting rail in
the same manner. A small wrench is
provided.
STEP 2: Attach Mounting Rails
Lay the Mounting Rails along the top of the truck bed rails (see photo on page 4). Face the vertical wall with the
lock rings toward the outside of the truck.
