WHAT’S IN THE BOX!?

1) Start by cutting open one end of the box. 

Be careful not to cut the tent 

fabric!

 Fold back the box flaps and flip the box so the open side is pointed down. 

You should be able to slide the box straight up and off the tent.

2) Lay the tent so the side with four holes in the base is facing up (not the side 

with the velcro tie-down.)

3) Locate the mounting rails and set them aside.

4) Undo the 4 straps keeping the tent closed, unfold the tent, unzip one of the 

doors, and remove the following items and set them aside:

 

a. PVC cover (1)

 

b. Ladder (1)

 

c. Boot bags (2)

 

d. Gear hammock (1)

 

e. Hardware bag (1)

The long bag containing the window poles can remain in the tent.
