The ultimate home away from home, OZtrail
Camper Trailer Tents fit straight onto your own
trailer and sets up in no time at all. At your
favourite beach or in the middle of the outback,
the Camper Trailer Tent delivers comfort
and style. The following is the list of OZtrail
Camper Trailer Tent features. Please note,
not all features are available on all models.
Please consult your local OZtrail Dealer or
www.oztrail.com.au for latest specification
details.
SatProof™ 600+ Canvas Walls are a heavy
weight 340gsm blended Ripstop cotton
canvas. The anti-mildew water proofing agent
is saturated throughout the canvas before
manufacture so even after wear and tear it
will still provide a waterproof barrier. SatProof
600+ Canvas ™ offers a minimum of 600 mm
hydrostatic water head creating a waterproof
canvas that still minimises condensation
build up. The structure of cotton allows water
vapour molecules to pass through and at the
same time provide a barrier to water droplets.
Silver coated SatProof 800+
Canvas :trademark: Roofs are a 340gsm
blended cotton canvas. In a similar process to
SatProof 600+ Canvas :trademark: this fabric is
treated further to provide 800mm hydrostatic
water head and maintains the same level
of breathability. After weaving the fabric is
rolled under pressure to accept the silver
coating that blocks out more than 98% of UV
radiation and heat. The technology used in
this protective coating has been developed to
provide a level of finish never seen before in a
canvas product.
Puncture resistant PVC vinyl flooring is
standard on Camper 6, 7 and Outer Ridge
models. Both Ridgeline models include the
added feature of an invisible bucket floor to
raise floor-wall junction above the ground.

Thank you for purchasing a quality OZtrail
Camper Trailer Tent.
Please keep this OWNER’S MANUAL in a
safe dry place as it contains important and
helpful information.
This booklet contains instructions to help
you mount the Camper Trailer Tent onto
a trailer as well as set up and fold away
instructions and many helpful hints to
ensure you get the best from the Camper
Trailer Tent.
The Camper Trailer Tent is easily mounted
on a trailer by the average handyman
with the help of 3 friends for lifting and
positioning onto the trailer. Many trailer
builders will mount the Camper Trailer Tent
as part of the service when buying a trailer.
In this booklet you will find a number
of sections that relate to the Camper
Trailer Tent use. These sections have details
relating to parts lists, maintenance hints
and information relating to the use of the
Camper Trailer Tent. In particular OZtrail
recommends that you read the sections
relating to SAFETY PROCEDURES and
Warranty conditions.
It is important that before you begin to
assemble the Camper Trailer Tent you
unpack the fittings supplied and familiarise
yourself with the location and application of
each part.
Once the Camper Trailer Tent has been
mounted on a trailer we recommend that
you set it up to familiarise yourself with the
product and to make any adjustments that
may be necessary. This will also help to make
you comfortable with pitching and folding of
the Camper Trailer Tent when you get to the
camp site.
During this process it is also recommended
that the canvas on the Camper Trailer Tent
be“seasoned”, to do this, please see the
separate section on seasoning your canvas
under the contents list.

Step 4 Preparing to attach
the timber base board to the
trailer
Step 5 Attaching the hinges
Open out the Camper Trailer Tent to allow you
access to the top-side of the baseboard. Unzip
the doors to prevent suction when raising the
Camper Trailer Tent and remove the mattress to
prevent any damage that might occur during
fitting. Have your friends hold both sides of the
Camper Trailer Tent down to reduce the chance of
it moving or tipping during the opening process.
For Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
Quest, Outer Ridge Venturer, Ridgeline Latitude
and Ridgeline Zenith or models Camper 6 and
Camper 7 where optional gas tilt attachment kit
has been purchased proceed to Step 5.
For Camper Trailer Tent models Camper 6
and Camper 7 without the optional gas tilt
attachment kit, included are 6 x bolts, 6 x washers
and 6 x nuts. Drill a total of 6 holes in the timber
base board and through the top rim of the
trailer. The 6 holes are made up of 2 holes (1 hole
approximately 20-30cm from the front and 1 hole
approximately 20-30cm from the rear) along each
side and 2 holes evenly spaced across the front, as
indicated in Figure12. Position the 2 rope hooks
on the rear tailgate, locate the position for the
rope hooks that will allow adequate tension of
the shock cord rope from the vinyl dust cover, as
indicated in Figure 13.
Attach the hinges and backing plate to the
trailer, these should be approximately 20-30cms
from the front and 20-30cm from the rear of
the trailer on the left hand side while looking
forward towards the tow hitch. Holes will have to
be drilled into the trailer wall and the ply timber
base board. Use fasteners and backing plate as
your template for the hole position for the hinge
brackets on the trailer. Use the actual hinge as the
template for the hole position in the base-board,
as indicated in Figure 14.
HELPFUL HINT
As part of a regular maintenance schedule,
check all nuts and bolts that connect the
CamperTrailer Tent to the trailer are firmly
secure and remain tight.

Step 6 Attaching the latches
Step 7 Attaching the two
large gas struts
Study the position of the catch-hook that is
attached to the timber baseboard, the latch
position on the trailer is required to line up
exactly with the catch-hook. Attach both latch
and backing plates to the trailer, these should be
approximately 20-30cm from the front and 20-
30cm from the rear of the trailer on the right hand
side while looking forward towards the tow hitch.
Here again use the backing plate as the template
for the hole positions. Once this is in place align
the position of the catch-hook that is attached to
the timber base board, as indicated in Figure 15.
For Camper Trailer Tent models Camper 6 and
Camper 7 with the optional gas tilt attachment
kit, position the 2 rope hooks on the rear tailgate,
locate the position that will allow adequate
tension of the shock cord rope from the vinyl dust
cover, as indicated in Figure 13.
Fitting position for the two large gas struts for
Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge Quest,
Outer Ridge Venturer, Ridgeline Latitude and
Ridgeline Zenith or models Camper 6 and
Camper 7 when optional gas tilt attachment kit is
purchased, as indicated in Figure 16.
Bolt on the gas strut angle mounts to the
underside of the base board using the pre drilled
holes. Attach the gas strut to the angle mount.
Open the Camper Trailer Tent base to the desired
height and angle required and secure with a
temporary support, as indicated in Figure 17
It is recommended to position the base of the
gas strut with the cylinder at the top to ensure
that the piston is continually lubricated during
use, as indicated in Figure 18. For the remaining
end of the gas strut, select 2 of the remaining
angle mount brackets and attach them inside
the trailer side wall to align with the unattached
end of the gas strut. Attach the gas strut to the
mounted angle bracket, as indicated in Figure
16 to indicate the approximate position of the
angle mount bracket on the inside side wall of the
trailer. Please note the side of the angle mount
brackets with the large diameter holes is to attach
to the gas strut, the side with the smaller diameter
holes attaches to the side wall of the trailer.

The small strut is for the under mattress trailer
access door that is located inside the Camper
Trailer Tent. Attach the angle bracket beside the
divider of the steel frame. Then attach the other
end to the trap door while the trap door is open.
The strut will compress when it closes, see Figure
19 showing the assembled strut position.
HELPFUL HINT
For safety, ensure the Camper Trailer Tent
cannot accidently close during fitting the gas
struts by propping it up securely during this
procedure, as indicated in Figure 17. HELPFUL HINT
As part of a regular maintenance schedule,

Set up and Assembly
Instructions
Select a sheltered camp site protected from the
wind that will not allow water to pond under
the tent floor. Clear the level area of all stones,
twigs etc. When reversing ensure that all is clear
behind and under the trailer. Once in the desired
location, secure your trailer. Make sure that the
jockey wheel and rear stabilizing legs are lowered
and in place securely to prevent the trailer from
becoming unstable or tipping. Adjust the jockey
wheel and rear stabiliser to make sure the trailer
is sitting level front to back and level side to side.
Also chock the front and rear of both wheels to
stop any movement.
Unpack poles, ropes and tent pegs from the
trailer and identify each piece and where each
goes, depending on model see Figure 21 and 22.
Camper Trailer Tent 6 & 7 pole list
HELPFUL HINT
Always carry several hardwood ground plates
(approximately 400mm long x 200mm wide
x 40mm thick) to use as support blocks for
your rear stabilisers and front jockey wheel
on those occasions when you are camped on
soft or sandy ground. These ground plates are
also handy as a jack base when changing tyres
or for levelling the trailer wheels on uneven
ground.
HELPFUL HINT
OZtrail recommends two people are required
to set up and assemble the CamperTrailer
Tent. OZtrail recommends that you do this at
least once before you embark on your first
camping trip to allow for any adjustments that
may need to be done and to ensure you are
comfortable with the setup of your Camper
TrailerTent.

For Camper Trailer Tent models Camper 6 &
Camper 7, release shock rope and roll forward
the dust cover making sure to secure it in case
of wind or rain. OZtrail does not recommend
removing the dust cover from sail track because
if it is not correctly refitted to the sail track, air
can enter into dust cover with great force when
towing and cause damage.
For Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
Quest, Outer Ridge Venturer, Ridgeline Latitude
and Ridgeline Zenith, release the shock rope
and unzip to remove the dust cover and place it
folded in a safe place, OZtrail recommends inside
the trailer.
Figure 21
Step 3 Remove the dust

Step 4 Standing up the
Camper Trailer Tent
Standing at the side of the trailer, unfold the
Camper Trailer Tent to the left. Have your friend
stand on the other side of the trailer to help
unfold the Camper Trailer Tent. This process can
be made much easier by firstly partially undoing
the door zippers to allow air inside the Camper
Trailer Tent to prevent suction while it unfolds.
HELPFUL HINT
For CamperTrailer Tent models Camper Trailer

Step 6 Camper Trailer
Tent frame adjustment and
assembly
Close the doors completely. Peg out the corners
of the Camper Trailer Tent. For peg point
locations, as indicated in Figure 22. Anchor the
tent to the ground by inserting the pegs through
the loops around the base of the tent at an angle
of 45 degrees, firm but not tight, As indicated in
Figure 23. Start with the corner peg points along
the trailer edge. As you work from one peg point
to the next around the tent base pull the floor
firm, but not tight. Ensure all peg down points
are utilised and where applicable the length of
the webbing loops is correctly adjusted.
Check again the trailer is level and secure, by
repeating Step 1 above. Now unzip the door
access under the awning and walk inside the
Camper. Note that the steel hoop pole frames
radiate from hub plates at each front corner of
the timber base board.
During the first set up, it will be necessary to
adjust all the main hoop pole frames’ height and
tension.
Firstly, get up onto the bed platform and extend
the adjustable trailer side poles on each side of
the bed platform until they pull the front wall up
firmly, as indicated in Figure 24 (page 21). Next,
extend the adjustable centre side poles on each
side of the bed platform to pitch the roof firmly,
as indicated in Figure 24 (page 21).
HELPFUL HINT
Apart from minor adjustments from time to
time these hoop pole frames above the bed
platform should not require regular tensioning
on future camping trips.

Instructions
Peg Points
Please Note: two extra side pegs
points for C7

16
Now get down from the bed platform and
onto the vinyl floor at ground level. Extend the
adjustable front side pole and front side door
pole, this will tension the roof and walls until
firm. If required the front side door poles over
the doorway can be removed from the hub plate
by releasing the locking pin and then extend
the front side door pole towards the rear wall
and locate the end of the front side door pole
into the pocket provided on the floor next to the
door, as indicated in Figure 24 (page 21). To avoid
damage, it is important to re-attach the front
side door pole to the hub plate before folding up
the Camper Trailer Tent.
Due to the extended length of the ground level
room, on Camper Trailer Tent model Camper
7 an additional steel hoop pole is supplied to
support and tension the rear wall and roof area,
this hoop pole is made up of the forward side
and ridge poles, as indicated in Figure 24 (page
21). The forward ridge poles are inserted into
the canvas pole sleeve along the wall and roof
junction, the forward ridge pole can remain in
this sleeve. Next connect the forward side poles
to the forward ridge pole and secure the other
end of the forward side poles into the pocket
provided on the floor and wall junction. Finally
adjust the height of forward side poles to allow
the roof and rear wall to become firm and create
a uniform roof slope to allow water to run off
without ponding.
For Camper Trailer Tent model Outer Ridge
Quest, OZtrail provides two spreader pole #55
with“C”clips at each end to strengthen the
structure of the roof frame, as indicated in Figure
24 (page 22).

Step 1 Identify the poles
HELPFUL HINT
Lay out each pole in its approximate position
and insert the corner tent rope pegs, only peg
them half way into the ground as you need to
move them later. Attach the guy ropes to the
pegs for quick attachment to poles later.

Step 3 Assembling the
centre ridge and upright
poles.
Step 4 Assembling the side
ridge and upright poles.
For Camper Trailer Tent models 6 & 7, place the
eye end of the middle ridge pole (#6) over the
spigot tip of the long pole (#203) and get your
friend to hold pole (#203).
Using the thicker end of pole (# 901) and making
sure the adjustment screw is facing down, place
the eye of spreader poles (#901) over the spigot of
pole (#203). Place the eyelet in the middle of the
canvas awning over the spigot of pole (#203) and
adjust the ridge pole (# 6) till the canvas is tight.
Raise pole (#203) to approximately the height
required and place the loop of the guy rope over
the spigot, tightening the ropes enough to hold
the pole.
For all Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
and Ridgeline, place the eye end of the middle
ridge pole (#8) over the spigot (point) of the
long pole (#7) and get your friend to hold pole
(#7). Using the thicker end of poles (#2) & (#3)
and making sure the adjustment screw is facing
down, now place the eye of spreader poles (#2)
HELPFUL HINT
Place the loop of a spare guy rope over the
spigot of the centre upright pole to hold the
eyelet down so that the canvas does not pop
off the spigot while you continue with the side
ridge pole assembly.This can be tied to the
pole below the adjustment nut or fixed to the
adjustment nut.
For Camper Trailer Tent models 6 & 7, place the
eye of one of the spreaders poles (#901) and the
corresponding side ridge pole (#6) over a corner
pole (#201) spigot, now place the corner eye of
the canvas awning over the spigot and adjust
the length of both poles to pull the canvas
tight. Raise the pole (#201) to the approximate
height and place the loop of the guy rope over
the spigot, tightening the ropes enough to
hold the pole. Repeat the above process for the
remaining side ridge and upright poles.
For all Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge
and Ridgeline, place the eye of one of the
spreaders poles (#2 or 3) and the corresponding
side ridge pole (#8) over a corner pole (#6)
spigot, now place the corner eye of the canvas
awning over the spigot and adjust the length
of both poles to pull the canvas tight. Raise
the pole (#6) to the approximate height and
Set up instructions for the
Camper Trailer Tent awning
& (#3) over the spigot of pole (#7), make sure
you position the long pole on the long side of
the awning. Place the eyelet in the middle of
the canvas awning over the spigot of pole (#7)
and adjust the ridge pole (#8) until the canvas
is tight. Raise pole (#7) to approximately the
height required and place the loop of the guy
rope over the spigot, tightening the ropes
enough to hold the pole.
Step 2 Attach the ridge poles
to the frame of the Camper
Trailer Tent
For Camper Trailer Tent models 6 & 7, place the
bent spigot of the ridge poles (#6) and for all
Camper Trailer Tent models Outer Ridge and
Ridgeline place the bent spigot of the ridge poles
(#8) through the Eye Bolts at the points adjacent
to the inner frame poles on the outer wall of the
Camper Trailer Tent leaving them hanging in place,
as indicated in Figure 25 (page 22).

Step 5 Level ridge poles,
check all peg points, tension
awning and guy ropes
Ensure all ridge poles are horizontal and the
upright poles are vertical. Adjust all poles
and ropes to tighten the canvas, now attach
Velcro™ tabs located on the underside awning
roof around the poles. At this point you should
determine whether pegs for the guy ropes are
positioned correctly and make any adjustments
necessary to the guy rope angle and peg
location. For the correct position of the guy
ropes, make a loop (about 30-50 cm long) with
the slider on the end of the rope and peg out
as far as possible from the pole, as indicated in
Figure 27. Ensure all peg points around the base
of the Camper Trailer Tent are utilised and all guy
ropes are attached firmly and remain firm.
HELPFUL HINT
It is a good idea to have all poles adjusted to
the approximate length required before you
begin to assemble the awning. After the first
assembly and final adjustments are made, with
a felt pen mark each pole at the adjusted length
for future reference.This will allow you in future
to adjust and set the poles close to the correct
length before setting up the awning. Some
minor adjustments will still need to be made
but it will help with setting up the awning and
make it quicker.
PLEASE NOTE
If the awning is not tensioned correctly, water
can pond during rain and may cause damage
to the roof fabric and poles.This damage is not
covered by the OZtrail warranty.
Step 6 Installing gusseted
bedroom window awning
poles
Step 7 Attaching the optional
sunroom and optional
sunroom floor
If required select the two poles #66, adjust
length to fit into the corner eyelet on the
bedroom window awning and the opposite end
of the pole fits into the eyelet along the base
of the camper tent. If tensioned correctly the
window awning will remain in the open position
in light wind conditions without the need for guy
ropes.
If you have purchased the OZtrail 3 in 1 sunroom
option, it simply attaches by way of a continuous
Velcro™ strip running up the side of the main
Camper Trailer Tent walls and around the inside
of the awning roof edge. Starting at one corner
work your way around the awning roof by simply
aligning and attaching the Velcro™ strips
Figure 27

Camper Trailer Tent awning
place the loop of the guy rope over the spigot,
tightening the ropes enough to hold the pole.
Repeat the above process for the remaining
side ridge and upright poles. Now select the
long spreader pole (#5) (use pole (#55) for Outer
Ridge Quest) and position between the centre
ridge and the side ridge parallel to pole (#2), as
indicated in Figure 24.

PLEASE NOTE
If the awning is not tensioned correctly,
water can pond during rain and may cause
damage to the roof fabric and poles.This
damage is not covered by the OZtrail
warranty.
Set up instructions for the
Camper Trailer Tent awning
provided, patting the two halves together as
you go to ensure good contact. When the roof
connection is complete, attach the Velcro™ to the
walls of the Camper Trailer Tent. The sunroom is a
unique 3 in 1 design that allows each of the three
sunroom walls to be used individually for privacy
or a wind break or can be used as one to form an
additional room.
You will find a number of webbing loops
provided to enable you to peg the walls down to
the ground. Firmly, but not tight, insert a peg at
each point to secure the sunroom walls.
If you have purchased the OZtrail sunroom
floor option, it attaches to the base of the
Camper Trailer Tent and sunroom walls by a
continuous Velcro™ strip. Starting at one corner
work your way around the base of the walls by
simply aligning and attaching the Velcro™ strips
provided, patting the two halves together as you
go to ensure good contact.
Step 8 Attaching the optional
rear room with frame, roof,
walls and floor
If you have purchased the OZtrail rear room
option, it simply attaches to the rear of the main
Camper Trailer Tent following a similar process to
steps 2 to 5 above.
Unfold the rear room roof and align zipper ends
with zipper along rear roof edge of the main
Camper Trailer Tent. Zip zipper together. Select
the two ridge pole (#8) and place the bent spigot
of the ridge pole (#8) through the Eye Bolts at the
points adjacent to the inner frame poles on the
rear outer wall of the Camper Trailer Tent leaving
them hanging in place, as indicated in Figure 26
(page 22). Now place the eye end of the middle
ridge pole (#8) over the spigot (point) of the long
pole (#7) and get your friend to hold pole (#7).
Using the thicker end of pole (#2) and making
sure the adjustment screw is facing down, now
place the eye of spreader pole (#2) over the
spigot of pole (#7). Place the eyelet in the top of
the canvas awning over the spigot of pole (#7)
and adjust the ridge pole (#8) until the canvas is
tight. Raise pole (#7) to approximately the height
required and place the loop of the guy rope
over the spigot, tightening the ropes enough to
hold the pole. Next place the eye of one of the
spreaders poles (#2) and the corresponding side
ridge pole (#8) over a corner pole (#6) spigot,
now place the corner eye of the canvas awning
over the spigot and adjust the length of both
poles to pull the canvas tight. Raise the pole (#6)
to the approximate height and place the loop
of the guy rope over the spigot, tightening the
ropes enough to hold the pole. Now select the
spreader pole (#5) and position between the
centre ridge and the side ridge parallel to pole
(#2), as indicated in Figure 26(page 22). Ensure all
ridge poles are horizontal and the upright poles
are vertical. Adjust all poles and ropes to tighten
the canvas, now attach Velcro™ tabs located on
the underside awning roof around the poles. At
this point you should determine whether pegs
for the guy ropes are positioned correctly and
make any adjustments necessary to the guy
rope angle and peg location. For the correct
position of the guy ropes, make a loop (about
30-50 cm long) with the slider on the end of the
rope and peg out as far as possible from the pole,
as indicated in Figure 27. Ensure all peg points
around the base of the Camper Trailer Tent are
utilised and all guy ropes are attached firmly and
remain firm.
