Truck tent set up instructions

1.  With the tailgate down, place the tent in the truck bed with screen mesh facing up. Position the door at the back, and cab access sleeve in front. Slip the tailgate pocket and strap (material under the door) over the tailgate.

2.  Loosely attach inside green & red straps  to your truck bed tie down points/cleats (inside bottom corner area).  Notice two straps for each corner cleat (8 total).  If your truck bed does not have tie down points/cleats see instruction # 6 below.

3.  Attach the black outside side strap clips to the bottom of the truck and snug up the straps.

4.  Run all 4 poles thru the pole sleeves matching the color code pockets to the same color tent poles.  Insert the pole ends into the pockets while raising the tent.  First the two center crossing poles and then the front and back poles.  As you raise the tent, make sure tent pole sleeves slide evenly over the poles.  Do not force this process or you make break a pole.  The pole will fit in the pockets with firm tension.

5.  Snug up the outside straps.  Make sure all side material covers the truck bedsides to prevent rain from entering the tent.  Check the front corner straps and adjust. 

6.  If your truck bed does not have tie down points/cleats inside the bed, get inside erected tent and attach the front most two inside straps (right and left) together and snug the straps so they pull the tent sides inward.  Run the back most inner straps (right and left side) through the slot between the bed and tailgate and attach to the rear bumper and snug them using the adjustor. If you use this configuration, you will only use four of eight straps (furthest out in each corner).  Once you adjust the tent straps to your truck, next set up will be a breeze!  

7.  Position the rain fly over the tent matching the front cab access sleeve from both the tent and rain fly.  Attach and adjust the buckles as necessary.  Use of rain fly is optional. 

8.  When done camping, fold your clean & dry tent and put it into the easy loading storage bag.

9.  Do not drive with the tent set up on your vehicle.  Read and observe caution tag inside the tent.
