SylvanSport GO Camper Quick Setup Guide
Raising the Tent Pod
●Detach GO from vehicle and level front to back using the dolly jack.
●Level left and right using stabilizer jacks. BAL leveler may be necessary terrain is very unlevel.
●Remove 4 pins to release the equipment rack.
●Raise the equipment rack/tent pod using the crank handle or drill adapter. See raising/lowering instructions on back.
●Insert the 4 bed support poles long grey bag into place.
●Remove the velcro straps from the front and back of the bed platforms.
●Grab the bed platform by the center weld, raise up and over the pins and insert the support poles into the platform. Twist a
quarter turn to ensure they are locked into place. Repeat on the other side.
●Lower the tag holder to convert into the entry step.
●Place the Picnic Pad/Deck Cushion on the diamond plate deck.
Setting Up the Tent
●Open the bottom of the tent pod by pulling the cable release handle.
●Push the bottom of the tent pod all the way back until it is resting against the back of the storage box.
●Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise approx. 2 revolutions to lower the rack. Just enough to lock the back wall in place.
●TURN CRANK HANDLE CLOCKWISE approx. 1 full turn to re-engage the lift system clutch and take up any slack. You will hear
the system clicking when the clutch has re-engaged.
●Pull the 4 black nylon loops of the tent over the corner pins of the bed platforms. Ensure the loops are resting on the frame, not the pin.
●Attach plastic hooks/connectors to the GO frame to secure the tent. There are 3 connection points on each corner of the frame & 2 at the
step.
●Insert the 2 shorter side tent poles through the pole sleeves on both sides of the GO and insert the tips in the grommets.
●Insert the 1 longer vestibule pole through the sleeve over the door and insert the tips into the holes in the bed platform.
Setting Up the Interior
●Remove the 2 bed panels from the bungee on the back wall and place the ends in the sleeves on both sides of the GO to create a
solid surface on the bed platforms.
●Unzip the ceiling panel, pull down the 2 green sleeping pads, open both valves on each pad, and place on the bed platforms,
allowing them to self inflate. Close the valves after fully inflated.
●Unlatch the clasp on the table panels, push up to raise off the pin, flip the bar out of the way, and lower towards the back wall.
●Table setup: unlatch the top and remove 1 table panel, relatching the second panel. Bed setup: unlatch and remove both panels.
●Raise the 2nd panel back into the ceiling area, relatch, and zip the ceiling panel closed.
●Remove the black knob on the back wall.
●Attach one of the ratchet straps to the nylon loop on at the top of the back wall with the ratchet mechanism near this end.
●Place one end of the table panel where the knob sits and attach the other end to the hook of the ratchet strap.
●Secure the table panel to the wall with the black knob, only tightening one or two turns.
●Level table panel with ratchet
Packing Up
●Follow the steps in reverse order to pack up the GO.

GO Raising & Lowering Procedures - Two Options
1. Crank Handle (stored in the GO storage box)
a. RAISE
i. Insert the crank handle into the slot on the lower right hand side of the storage box.
ii. RIGHT TO RAISE. Turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the rack system of the GO.
iii. Be sure that all four corners are raising at the same rate.
iv. STOP turning the crank handle when you see the knurled section of the lift tube.
v. At any point, if the rack system is not raising when the crank handle is turned, STOP. The rack system and crank
handle function as one. If the rack system is not raising at the same rate, lower the rack system and raise again. If
the issue occurs again, contact SylvanSport to help troubleshoot.
b. LOWER
i. Insert the crank handle into the slot on the lower right hand side of the storage box.
ii. LEFT TO LOWER. Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise to lower the rack system of the GO.
iii. Be sure that all four corners are lowering at the same rate.
iv. STOP turning the crank handle when the corners of the corners of the rack system are seated on the frame.
v. When lowered, insert pins into each of the 4 corners. If the corner is not fully seated on the pin, push now on the rack
corner or gently shake the rack system to allow it to settle onto the pin.
vi. At any point, if the rack system is not lowering when the crank handle is turned, STOP. The rack system and
crank handle function as one. If the rack system is not lowering at the same rate, raise the rack system and lower
again. If the issue occurs again, contact SylvanSport to help troubleshoot.
vii. After lowering the rack system (whether securing the back wall during set up or after packing up), TURN CRANK
HANDLE CLOCKWISE 1-2 full turns to re-engage the lift system clutch and take up any slack. You will hear the
system clicking when the clutch has re-engaged.
2. Drill Adapter
a. Properly insert the drill adapter into an 18v or 20v drill according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
b. Insert the adapter into the same slot as you would the crank handle.
c. Using the slower drive speed on the drill, raise or lower the rack system.
d. Use care to slow down as you get near the fully extended or lowered position.
e. If possible, use the crank handle to raise or lower the final 6 inches.
f. As with the crank handle, the rack system should raise or lower with every movement of the drill adapter. If the rack system
does not move when using the drill, stop immediately.
g. All cautions and warnings when using the crank handle also apply when using the drill adapter.
Be sure to STOP turning the crank handle when:
●(Lowering) The rack system has come to a stop
●(Raising) You can see the knurled section of the lift tube
●(Any) All four corners are not raising or lowering at the same rate.
●Stop cranking if your rack system is not moving. Lowering/raising past the limits may cause issues with your lift system.
●If any issues occur, inspect to see what is causing it or contact SylvanSport for assistance.
