BUNDUCLAM
Please familiarise yourself with this manual, as proper use of this
product is directly linked to the warranty.
01 02
The BunduClam standard size is 2200 x 1400 x 300mm when closed. The tent weighs 85
kgs. The tent boasts entry from three sides, giving you wide access and views. Each win-
dow/door is manufactured with the canvas on the inside and the mesh on the outside. This
allows you to leave the windows open for ventilation, even in poor weather conditions. The
BunduClam comes standard with a ladder, mattress, two fans and an LED light inside.
The roof of the BunduClam is strong enough to carry additional weight. You are welcome
to install a solar panel on top. We include solar wiring and it simplies the installation of a
solar panel by allowing the wiring to go unseen through the tent.
The foam-backed roof-lining absorbs moisture and condensation, but if you are going to
extremely cold areas we do recommend putting a carpet under the mattress as insula-
tion, as very cold temperatures creates additional condensation. The frame built into the
bottom of the tent provides additional strength and makes it versatile to mount. It can be
bolted directly to your load bars or roof rack. The mattress inside is 2000 x 1250 x 100mm
and is made from a high density foam. A double bed tted sheet ts it just ne. This leaves
enough space inside the tent so that you can leave your bedding inside.
Please arrange your bedding so that it can’t hook into the arms inside; attened bedding
won’t interfere. Please ensure you leave the windows open or close only the mosquito
net so that trapped air can escape. Trapped air will push out the canvas sides and cause it
to not fold in properly when lowering the tent. When entering or exiting the tent, ensure
that the zips are completely zipped down as the zips/mosquito net isn’t designed to carry
weight.
In locations with extreme humidity and heat, the combination can cause extreme con-
densation inside the tent. This will be UNDERNEATH the mattress. If you are experiencing
similar conditions, try to ventilate the tent to prevent the condensation. PLEASE NOTE that
when using the tent for the rst time the canvas can be sti. It gets coated with various
resins to ensure its longevity and UV qualities, so when rst operating the canvas has no
“memory” how to fold. After a couple of uses the canvas will develop a “memory” of how
to fold and the folding will become neater and easier as time passes. The initial folding
process will seem sti but with time it will ease into its shape and fold neatly.
!
PLEASE ENSURE THAT NO BEDDING OBSTRUCTS THE ARMS WHEN CLOSING
YOUR TENT. ALSO, PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE WINDOWS ARE LEFT OPEN
WHEN CLOSING YOUR TENT SO THAT AIR CAN ESCAPE.
Extras:
• USB port. If you prefer, we can add a USB port to your rooftop tent. It will be accessible from
inside.

The arms and their unique design assist with the lifting of the tent and ensures that it is rigid
when open, essentially strengthening the construction. Unclip both latches and ensure that
they are open before lifting the roof slightly to start the automatic lift of the roof.
OUR TENTS HAVE A ONE YEAR MECHANICAL WARRANTY. All the electronics used in the Bundu-
Clam can be found inside the Electronics Box which houses:
• The fuse
• Switches for the fans and light.
• 12v Socket
If installing on load bars use three evenly spaced supports. Remember to mount the ladder
bracket. After installing the tent, mount the ladder bracket beneath the opening you will be
using as the door. This way the ladder has a place to hook on to and will be less damaging than
simply hooking the ladder onto the lip of the tent. Hold the bracket in position on the side of
the tent where you will be entering your tent. Lightly trace the outline and mounting holes of
the bracket. Mark where you want to place your rivets and drill the holes. Hold the bracket in
place again and rivet the bracket to the tent’s side. Repeat steps for the other bracket.
Maintenance:
While unnecessary when not experiencing any faults, we do recommend maintenance in the
tents.
1. Tent does not go up or down. Check that nothing is caught in the arms.
2. Tent opens but does not close. Check that the main arms are unlocked.
3. The tent doesn’t open. Pick up the roof by hand and lock the arms in place to keep the roof
up.
4. Arms don’t lock. Adjust the tension on the bottom of the arm until the arms lock into place
and extends the Awning.
What is it made from?
The tent is full aluminium construction and a durable Riptech canvas. The tent seals completely
when closed and gives a full dust and waterproof seal. We use a 300gsm Riptech canvas that
is UV resistant to prevent fading. The wrap-around awning is at an angle so that you can have
ventilation in poor weather with maximum water deection. Our mesh is coated in a rubber
compound making it extremely exible and durable.
The foam backed roof lining absorbs moisture and condensation but if you are going to ex-
tremely cold areas we do recommend putting a carpet as insulation under the mattress as very
cold temperatures creates additional condensation. The frame built into the bottom of the tent
provides additional strength and makes it versatile to mount. It can be bolted directly to your
load bars or roof rack.

Quick Tip:
Taking care of your canvas is easy! Gently wash with a mild detergent and
water. Avoid excessive scrubbing or abrasion.
Can I t the tent myself ?
Yes. It is not heavy, but it is an awkward shape and will need atleast 2 people to handle.
The holes in my tent doesn’t have eyelets in them. The eyelets don’t wear well. The holes are
actually burned into the canvas, because it’s the strongest way to make the holes. While eyelets
make for a better nish, it does not make for a stronger one, and our research suggests that
eyelets pose as a weak point and is generally where tears can originate. This is caused by the
crimping tool used to install the eyelet, causing its metal edges to essentially cut into the materi-
al it’s being installed in, weakening the material on those points
