Setup and Installation

The SanHima Gibb Rooftop Tent is designed for simple assembly. Follow these steps for proper installation and setup.

Mounting the Tent to Your Vehicle

The tent is designed for roof top installation and includes universal mounting rails for compatibility with most roof rack setups. Ensure your vehicle's roof rack has adequate load capacity for the tent's weight (167.5 lbs) and occupants.

  1. Position the tent on your vehicle's roof rack, aligning the universal mounting rails with your crossbars.
  2. Insert the provided iron pieces and screws into the slide channels of the tent's base.
  3. Align the screws with the luggage racks and tighten them securely. Ensure the iron piece is bent slightly to indicate proper tightness.

Deploying the Tent

  1. Unfasten the two latches on the front of the tent.
  2. Gently push the lid upwards. The hydraulic struts will assist in lifting the hard shell.
  3. Clip the telescopic ladder onto the front of the tent and extend it to the ground, ensuring it is stable.
  4. Climb into the tent and lower the elastic cord that helps pull the tent fabric inward during closing.
  5. From inside, clip the internal frame bars onto the two locator pins in the corners. Push the bars forward through the tent material and lock them in place using the built-in arms.
  6. If rough weather is expected, install the extra tensioning beam to the roof for added strength.
  7. To set up the built-in awning, insert the metal support rods into the frame of the tent and then through the eyelets in the top of the awning.
