Condensation & Weather.

In foul weather it is always recommended to have all the windows done up and awnings

pulled down in strong winds, or in very bad weather you should pack down the tent

completely and seek shelter in a safe area.

In wet weather and humid conditions, you should leave the top of your windows open

slightly to allow air flow, this can assist in reducing condensation inside the tent, keeping

windows and doors slightly open will assist in providing cross flow ventilation and reduce

the ability for water vapor to build up. Condensation occurs when the inside of the tent is

warm and the outside is cold, the temperature variations cause water vapor to form

droplets which will appear on the internal structure of the tent. The tent is not leaking this

is condensation. Keeping windows and doors slightly open will dramatically reduce

condensation and make your time away more enjoyable.

Installation (applicable to separated vertical bars)

The ARB Esperance tent can only be mounted in “Off the side” configuration,

this allows the tent to fold out from the side of the vehicle, the entry point of

the tent will be the RHS of the vehicle (looking from rear). If fitting to an ARB

Baserack, please refer to the fitting instructions included with the Base rack

mounts.

1. Have two people stand at the front of the tent, and two people at the

back.

2. Grab the base panel on the bottom of the tent and lift up to your waist and

then above your shoulders. Make sure the correct lifting techniques and

manually handling are followed, or seek mechanical aids.

3. Gently slide the tent onto your cross bars or mounting area.

4. Make sure the tent is centered on the vehicle, and check clearances for

Awnings and window openings for canopies.

5. Insert bolts through slide plate as pictured,

you will need to set up 8 x plate/bolt

combinations. 2 x plates and 2 x bolts will be

required for each corner of the tent. Slide the

plate (containing the bolt) into the rail under

the tent., A plate/bolt combination should be

positioned on either side of the roof bar that

the tent will be mounted to. Make sure not

to make contact with any paintwork on the

vehicle and check clearances.

6. Have one person lift the tent, while another

person slides the plate/bolt combination past

the roof bar, so that one bolt is on each side

of the roof bar

7. Take the U-shaped bracket and fit it under

your cross bar so that the bolts go through it

or refer to the ARB Base rack fitting

instructions if mounting to an ARB Baserack.

8. Attach one nut on each bolt and tighten them

using the 13mm spanner provided.

a. IMPORTANT: Tighten the bolts

together by alternating between the

two bolts to get an even distribution on

the mounts. Torque setting to be

22nm

9. Repeat 7-9 for the remaining 3 brackets.

MAKESURE THAT EACH BRACKET IS SECURELY FASTENED.

FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE DAMAGE, INJURY OR EVEN

DEATH. SEE ABOVE TORQUE SETTINGS

NOTE: check that the tent is securely attached after a short distance

of driving, and thereafter at regular intervals. Tighten the mounting

brackets whenever necessary. Checking and tightening the brackets

is always part of good trip preparation, and will reduce the risk of

damage and injuries.

Note: the recommended speed limit to not

exceed when having the tent on your vehicle is 110kph.

(68 MPh) Driving speed should always be adjusted

according to the current driving conditions, such as road

type and quality, weather (wind conditions, rain), and

applicable state speed limits. Drive slowly on speed

bumps and bumpy roads.

Cautions, Storage and Care guide lines

-Do not use excessive force on 3 fastening straps that lock the shell to base when closing the

tent. These straps are designed only to hold the tent base and shell together, and are not

designed to be used to pull/ratchet the bases together. When you are closing the tent, hold

down the top shell firmly to compact the tent, then use the 3 fastening straps to secure the

bases in this position.

-Do not store the tent wet. If you do have to pack away when the tent is wet, zip close all

canvas doors and windows to protect the inside of the tent, and pack away till weather has

improved. As soon as you can, open the tent and let it dry out thoroughly to prevent mold,

mildew and rot. If the tent is to be closed up for extended periods of time it is very important

that the tent is completely dry. Mold is not covered by warranty if found to be from the tent

being stored or packed up wet or damp. Dry your tent completely before storing.

-Be aware that with a rooftop tent fitted to your vehicle the overall height is increased. You

should measure the overall height of your vehicle with the rooftop tent fitted as you will need

this information to decide if the vehicle can enter carparks etc. This is not covered by

warranty, know your height before moving your vehicle.

-Centre of gravity. The attachment of a rooftop tent to your vehicle (similar to any other load

on your roof rack) will alter its center of gravity. Adjust your driving accordingly.

-In trip inspections. Regularly check that all nuts and bolts attaching your rooftop tent to the

roof of your vehicle are tight and in good repair. Check the ladder is securely fastened and

locking strap is applied and in good working order.
