SOME ASSEMBLY REQU’D

Installing the mounting rails:

1) You’ll need to remove the black stickers covering both sides of the 4 bolt 

holes, 8 total. To reach the ones inside, reach through one of the tent doors/

windows and under the mattress.

2) Take the mounting rails and align them with the holes.

3) Grab the mounting rail hardware and remove the nylock nuts. Slide the nuts 

into the central channel on the mounting rails and align them with the holes.

4) Now take the bolts with washers and slide them up through the holes from 

inside the tent and tighten.

Installing the ladder:

1) Flip the tent over so the side with the velcro tie-down is facing

up. Again, start by removing the black stickers covering both sides

of the 2 bolt holes, 4 total.

2) Remove the bolts from the ladder mounting brackets and align

the brackets with the holes.

3) Feed the 4 longer bolts with washers through the top and screw on the nylock 

nuts by reaching inside the tent. 

Do not tighten yet!

4) Lay the ladder with the buttons facing up and align with the brackets. Use the 

shorter bolts and remaining hardware to attach the ladder and tighten. Note: the 

order of the hardware should be:

Bolt -> Metal washer -> Bracket -> Plastic washer -> Ladder -> Nylock nut

5) Tighten the nuts attaching the ladder brackets to the tent frame.

6) Use the velcro tie-down on the base of the tent to secure the bottom rung of 

the ladder.
