With the help of a friend, starting with the trailer
pole, followed by the central pole, fold the hoop
pole frames down one at a time taking care to
tuck and fold the canvas within the edges of the
Camper Trailer Tent base, see Figure 25, from
the previous Set up and Assembly Instructions
section. While using only a slight amount of
force try and flatten and fold the canvas evenly
as much as possible as this will assist you when
fitting the dust cover.
For Camper Trailer Tent models 6 & 7 only, unroll
the vinyl dust cover attached to the front of the
Camper Trailer Tent and position the vinyl dust
cover evenly over the folded Camper Trailer Tent.
Connect the side and rear shock cord rope to the
hooks under the Camper Trailer Tent base and
across the rear tail gate to evenly tension the
vinyl dust cover.
For all Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
375, Outer Ridge 475, 8, 9 & 12, position the
vinyl dust cover over the folded Camper Trailer
Tent making sure the zip connecting position is
aligned. Engage the zipper and after zipping pat
down the Velcro™ to ensure weather protection
is complete. Connect the side shock cord ropes
to the hooks under the Camper Trailer Tent base
to evenly tension the vinyl dust cover.
Once the Camper Trailer Tent is folded and
secured with the vinyl dust cover, place poles,
ropes, pegs in their respective carry bags,
owner’s manual and other miscellaneous parts
into the trailer. Make sure that the exposed
nuts, bolts and brackets inside the trailer cannot
damage any of your packed gear inside the
trailer. Close and lock both latches that secure
the Camper Trailer Tent to the trailer.
As a final safety check before transporting the
trailer, ensure the rear stabiliser legs have been
folded up, check that the front jockey wheel is
stowed correctly for towing, the safety chain is
connected to the towing vehicle and lights are
connected and are all working correctly. Make
sure the dust cover is secure around the entire
perimeter of the trailer. On long journeys, stop
periodically to check the dust cover and all nuts
and bolts are secure.

HELPFUL HINT
Never store a Camper Trailer Tent damp or
dirty. If you have no choice to return home
from your camping trip with a damp or
dirty tent, make sure you open it out to air
in a cool, dry and shaded place as soon as
possible and only pack it away when it is
completely dry and clean.
HELPFUL HINT
Latches which are not closed correctly may
open in transit and could cause damage.
By purchasing and placing a small padlock
in the loop provided on each latch, this
possibility is eliminated and your trailer
contents are secured.
HELPFUL HINT
OZtrail recommends that an additional
tie down strap be placed over the Camper
Trailer Tent when travelling. Firstly they
reduce the stress on the latches and hinges
as well as the nuts and bolts from vibrations
when travelling on rough roads. Secondly
they reduce the ballooning e
ff
ect that the
wind has on the dust cover which cuts down
drag and saves fuel.
