The ideal location for the mounting rails will vary for different trucks. Start about 6

” from the back (A in the 

image below represents 6

”). Adjust the position of the mounting rails so the locking pins will align with the 

tent seams.  For mid-sized trucks with beds less than 6 ft. in length, it may be best to position the 
Mounting Rails all the way back towards the tailgate.   

Attach mounting rails with C-clamps (the turn-screws on clamps must face down).  Tighten until snug and 
secure. Do not over-tighten. 
 

 

 

 

For best results, position clamps as pictured above. Certain bed liners may require slight modification. 

 

If you have custom caps or channel on your truck bed rails, special C-clamps may be required. 

 

STEP 3: Place Tent Body 
1)  Lower the tailgate. 
2)  Lay the tent body over the truck bed as shown in the photo below. The rear bottom flap of the tent slips 

underneath the tailgate.
