4. Take the bottom bracket and fit it under your cross bar; this way,
the bolts will go through either side.

on both sides.

the ladder.

5、 Push down on the ladder, as it acts as a lever and lowers the
extended tent base.
6. Repeat process 2-5 on all 4 corners

ensure everything is secure. Troubleshoot the tent by shaking
the bushveld back and forth and possibly going for a short drive.

6. After the extended tent base has been lowered, secure the
ladder by bringing the top rungs up from the top until they are
locked into place one at a time.
*DO NOT COLLAPSE THE BOTTOM RUNGS
1. When opening the ladder, withdraw all rungs and open each
rung from the bottom to the top, each rung must be locked. If the
ladder is too long, you can push the top few rungs up until they are
locked into place. There should not be any rungs bunched up at the
bottom- Only the top 1. The rainfly should be erected using the window rods included
with your tent.
2、 Climb half-way up the ladder, take one rod, and insert the
straight end into one of the holes located at the bottom of the tent
(pictured below). The hook at the top end of the rod should be
facing down. Insert the hook into the gromet to secure the rainfly.
4. Before going up the ladder, check to see if each rung is secure.
Take time to adjust each one to be certain.
2. Make sure the base of the ladder is level and on solid terrain. If
not in a secure place move your vehicle to a more even terrain.
3、 Place the ladder at an approximate 70° angle as shown below,
and make sure it is firmly planted on the ground. The ladder should
NOT be over-extended. It will not give the supoport that it needs to
