Truck Tent Set Up Guide
The instructions below will walk you through
setting up a CampRight Truck Tent.
1. With
the tailgate down, place the tent in your truck bed with the screen mesh
side facing up. Slip the tailgate pocket and under-strap over
the end of the tailgate.
2. Attach the black strap clips to the bottom outside lip of
the truck and snug up the straps.
3. Run all 4 tent poles through their matching
color coded sleeves. Raise the two gray center poles
first followed by the green and red poles. Insert
the pole ends into their matching color coded
pockets. Make sure the pole sleeves slide over the
poles with no hang-ups.
4. Attach the inside green and red straps to your truck
bed corner tie down points/cleats. Notice two straps clip to
each cleat.
If your truck
does not have tie down points, clip the two front
red straps together and run the two back green
straps through the tailgate gap to attach to
something below. In this case, the middle two red
and green straps will hang free. Once you have the
straps adjusted for your truck, the next set-up will
be much easier.
6. Adjust the inner and outer straps until the seam where the inner
flap meets the tent runs along the top outside edge of your truck bed.
7. Position the rain fly over the tent. Place the front cab
access sleeve from the tent inside the access sleeve of the rain fly.
Attach the buckles and adjust their straps as necessary. Use of the rain
fly is optional.
8. Avalanche Truck Tents: Set up is exactly the same except that it
is necessary for you to run the stitched front edge of the tent (has 2
tie down strings sewn inside) in the opening between the plastic rear
window frame and the metal roof. All three black strap clips from this
area will attach in a row to the bottom outside lip of the truck.
The front most black clips from the rain fly should be secured inside
the vehicle on the front cleats. CAUTION: Metal magnets are located
inside the front of the rain fly to hold it in place. Be careful when
placing them on the roof of your Avalanche.
9. When
done camping, fold your clean and dry truck tent and put it into the
easy loading storage bag. Please read the caution tag inside the tent and don't forget to have fun camping.
