Step 1: Prepare the Tent and Truck

1. Ensure your truck is parked on a level surface and the tailgate is lowered.

3. Insert the Top Pole into its sleeve, connecting the two side poles at the top.
4. Secure the tent to the truck bed rails using the integrated straps and buckles. Ensure a snug fit to prevent movement.

Step 3: Secure the Tent

1. Attach the wheel straps to the truck's wheels and tighten them to secure the tent's base.
2. Connect the tow hitch straps to the tow hitch and adjust for tension.
3. Use the ground nails to anchor any additional tie-down points for enhanced stability, especially in windy conditions.

Step 4: Awning Setup

1. Assemble the Canopy Poles.
2. Extend the awning fabric from the tent's rear.
3. Insert the Canopy Poles into the designated grommets on the awning and adjust their height to create the desired shade area.

Operating Instructions

Your JOYTUTUS Truck Tent is designed with several features to enhance your outdoor experience:

• Mesh Zipper Door: The tent features a high-density mesh zipper door at the rear, providing ventilation while preventing insects from entering.
• Privacy Door: An opaque zipper door is also included to ensure complete privacy when desired.
• Skylight Design: An openable PVC transparent skylight allows for natural lighting during the day and offers a view of the night sky.
• Awning Shade: The extended awning provides additional protection from sun and rain, expanding your usable outdoor space.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your truck tent, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Hand wash the tent fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
• Drying: Ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mold and mildew.
• Storage: Store the tent in its original storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect poles, zippers, and fabric for any signs of wear or damage. Repair as needed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your truck tent, refer to the following common solutions:

• Tent not fitting snugly: Re-check all straps (wheel, tow hitch, and side straps) and adjust tension. Ensure the tent is correctly aligned with the truck bed and topper.
• Water leakage: Verify that all zippers are fully closed and the fabric is not torn. Ensure the PU2000 waterproof coating is intact. In heavy rain, ensure the awning is properly angled to shed water.
• Poles difficult to assemble: Ensure all pole sections are clean and free of debris. Apply gentle pressure and twist slightly if needed. Do not force poles.
• Insects inside the tent: Ensure the mesh zipper door is fully closed and there are no gaps between the tent and the truck bed/topper.
