Bolt on the gas strut angle mounts to the
underside of the base board using the pre
drilled holes. Attach the gas strut to the angle
mount. Open the Camper Trailer Tent base to the
desired height and angle required and secure
with a temporary support, see Figure 18. It is
recommended to position the base of the gas
strut with the cylinder at the top to ensure that
the piston is continually lubricated during use,
see Figure 19. For the remaining end of the gas
strut, select 2 of the remaining angle mount
brackets and attach them inside the trailer side
wall to align with the unattached end of the gas
strut. Attach the gas strut to the mounted angle
bracket, see Figure 16 and 17 to indicate the
approximate position of the angle mount bracket
on the inside side wall of the trailer for each of the
di
ff
erent models of Camper Trailer Tents. Please
note the side of the angle mount brackets with
the large diameter holes is to attach to the gas
strut, the side with the smaller diameter holes
attaches to the side wall of the trailer.
The small strut is for the under mattress trailer
access door that is located inside the Camper
Trailer Tent. Attach the angle bracket beside the
divider of the steel frame. Then attach the other
end to the trap door while the trap door is open.
The strut will compress when it closes, see Figure
20 showing the assembled strut position.
HELPFUL HINT
For safety, ensure the Camper Trailer Tent
cannot accidently close during fitting the gas
struts by propping it up securely during this
procedure, see Figure 18.
HELPFUL HINT
As part of a regular maintenance schedule,
check all nuts and bolts that connect the
camper trailer tent to the trailer are firmly
secure and remain tight.
