SKU 103-1642Page 4

Connecting the Front End Bow to the Middle Bow
1. At what will be the front of the RV Shelter, attach (10a+b) to the END BOW (center). Use
Bolts (13), Washer (17), and Nuts (16). Repeat on the opposite side. Do not completely
tighten at this time because minor frame adjustments will be done later. Insert the
tapered end of each (10b) into the end of each (10a), secure with Nut (14) and Bolt (16).
2. At the base of that same End Bow, attach (8) to the base of (4). Swing the end of (10a+b)
over to the connection of (5) and the end of (8). The tapered end of each (8) fits into the
next (8). Use Bolts (13), Washers (17), and Nuts (16) for this end of (10a+b) also. Do not
completely tighten at this time because minor frame adjustments will be done later. Repeat
these steps on the opposite end of the End Bow. Continue assembling (8) between all of
Middle Bows until the final Middle Bow, using hardware listed below. See Figures 2 & 3.
BOLT ALL CONNECTIONS WITH BOLTS (14) AND NUTS (16) UNLESS OTHERWISE

SKU 103-1642 Page 6

Top Rails
1. Start at one side of the back End Bow along the curvature of (3). (11) attaches to (3) on
the inside of this curve. Insert (1) inside (11) and attach to the Middle Bow. Continue
attaching the (1)’s to the Middle Bows and each other until you reach the end. Repeat
these steps on the other side. Do not tighten bolts at this time. The bolts at the end will
need to be removed when installing the Tarp (door) and Tarp (back). See Figure 5.
2. When this portion of the frame is assembled and free standing, move the assembled
frame to your desired location using several people.
Figure 5
3. The Top Crests (12) are at the top of the assembled Bows. To anchor that portion of the
roof to the Bows, attach (11) underneath the (12) on the End Bow using Carriage Bolt (15)
and Nut (16). Fit (1) into (11) and connect to the top of the Middle Bow with (15) and (16).
Continue connecting to the top until the last Middle Bow. At the end, connect (1)
underneath the last (12).
See Figure 6

SKU 103-1642 Page 7

Squaring the Frame
When the RV Shelter frame is assembled, and in it’s final location, use the Rope (19) to
measure the distance between opposite corners, see Figure 7. Mark the rope and check
the distance of the other two corners; the distance should be the same. If not, adjust the
frame until it is.
Figure 7
ANCHOR INSTRUCTIONS
1. The RV Shelter needs to be anchored down and the frame needs to be secure. From the
inside of the Shelter, place the Anchors with Steel Cable (18) on all four corners. Place
the remainder of the Anchors on the inside of the Bows at intervals. See
Figure 8.
Note: Additional Anchors may be required in windy areas.
2. If you are installing on asphalt, drill a 1” hole to accept the Anchor through the asphalt.
3. If installing in dirt, drive the Anchor (18) into the soil using a
hammer and drive rod (not provided). The more you hammer, the
more the Anchor goes into the soil, compacting the soil around it.
Remove the drive rod once you have established the proper depth.
4. Pull upwards on the cable, rotating the Anchor into a load lock
position. The Anchor cuts into the undisturbed soil.
5. After placing all the Anchors, wrap the Wire Cable from each
Anchor, around the Bottom Rails and securely attach it to itself using
Clamps (25) (not shown). See Figure 8. Figure 8
SKU 103-1642 Page 8

TARP DOOR INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the Tarp Cover (23), install the Tarp Door (21) and Tarp Back
Panel (22). The Tarp Door Panel (21) has two zippers in it.
1. At the doorway of the frame, remove the Bolts (14) and Nuts (16) from the three Top
Rails (1), top and sides.
2. Place the Tarp Door (21) over the arch of the front End Bow and wrap the material
around the arch while bringing the slits to the inside of the frame. Place the Top Rail (1)
at the Top Crest (12) into the slit. See Figure 9.
3. Once the Top Rails (1) are into the slits on the sides and top, put the Bolts (14) and Nuts
(16) back into all the places that they were removed from and tighten them down. See
Figure 9.
Figure 9
4. Notice the black rope hanging out of the bottom of the Tarp Door (21) on both sides.
With two people, wrap the rope under the Corner Feet (4). Both of you are to pull up at
the same time to tighten the door. When Tarp Door is snug, tie off the rope to the Corner
Feet (4).
5. Attach the side of the Tarp Door (21) to the frame by using the 6 pcs. Ball Tie Downs
(24).
6. A pipe (not included, 1-1 /4” diameter) can be placed in the pocket at the bottom of each
door. This will keep the door straight and it may roll up easier. Caution must be
exercised, using the pipe will make the door heavier.
7. At the back doorway of the frame, remove the Bolts (14) and Nuts (16) from the three
End Top Rails (11), top and sides.
SKU 103-1642 Page9

8. Place the Tarp Back (22) over the arch of the back End Bow and wrap the material
around the arch while bringing the slits to the inside of the frame. Place the End Top Rail
(11) at the Top Crest (12) into the slit. See Figure 9 on the previous page.
9. Once the End Top Rails (11) are into the slits on the sides and top, put the Bolts (14) and
Nuts (16) back into all the places that they were removed and tighten them down. See
Figure 9.
10. There are extra slits in the Tarp Back (22) for the Support Braces (10a+b). Repeat the
steps as before for the sides with the Support Braces replacing the exact hardware.
Tighten. See Figure 9.
11. Notice the black rope hanging out of the bottom of the Tarp Back (22) on both sides.
With two people, wrap the rope under the Corner Feet (4). Both of you are to pull up at
the same time to tighten the door. When Tarp Back is snug, tie of the rope to the Corner
Feet (4).
12. Attach the side of the Tarp Back (22) to the frame by using the 6 pcs. Ball Tie Downs
(24).
TARP COVER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position the Tarp Cover (23) face side up, being aware of length and height of RV Shelter
frame in reference to the length and width of the Cover. Lie the Tarp Cover along the side
of the frame. Fold in half lengthwise. Position the folded Tarp as close to the frame as
possible. Attach long ropes (not provided) in holes on each end of the Tarp. These ropes
will be used to guide and pull the Tarp Cover (23) over the top of the frame. Figure 10.
SKU 103-1642 Page 10
Figure 10

TARP COVER INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
2. Use at least six people to help position the Tarp Cover (23) over the frame. It is suggested
to have a person on a ladder at each end of the frame to assist with lifting. For safety, have
someone to support the ladder so it will not topple over. Use two to four other people to pull
the ropes and shift the Tarp Cover (23) into position. See Figure 10.
3. Center the Tarp Cover (23) over the frame. The internal rope should be in the front and
rear (outside). The punched holes should be positioned on the inside of the RV Shelter.
Center the Tarp Cover on all four sides. See Figure 11.
Figure 11
4. Loosen the four Turnbuckles (20). Tie the ropes loosely to the Turnbuckles (20). Check to
be sure the Cover is still centered and has the same amount of overlap on the front and the
back. See Dwg. in Figure 13.
5. The area where the rope comes out of the Tarp Cover (23) should be about 12” from the
ground. See Figure
12.

TARP COVER INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
6. Pull the rope tighter, using a few knots to secure to the Turnbuckle (20). Twist the
Turnbuckle (20) to tighten the rope. Check monthly & tighten if needed.
See Figure 13.
7. When the Tarp Cover (23) is aligned, fasten the Tarp Cover to the frame using the Rope
(19). Start by lacing the end of the Rope through the first punched hole in the Tarp Cover.
Pass the Rope under the Bottom Rails (8), Continue down the Shelter, creating a laced
effect. When laced to the end, that will be End Bottom Rail (9). Tie off at the end. Work
your way back tightening the lacing by pulling the Rope down, creating a snug fit. When
you get to the other end, tie off and trim off any extra Rope. See Figure 12, previous
page.
Maintenance
1. Cover can be cleaned with soap & water.
2. For better and safer performance, keep all parts of this product clean and dry.
