Instructions

Mounting Tent

1. Mounting your tent requires a minimum of 2 people for lifting. This Alpine may take three! She's not dainty.
2. Position the tent on top of the vehicle's roof rack, bed rack, or trailer, and center it to your liking. If you have a hatchback make sure you have clearance to open the back.
3. Using the supplied hardware and mounting plates, slide the hardware into the channel so there are 2 bolts per corner (one in front and one behind the vehicle's crossbars)
4. Run the bolts through the holes of the mounting brackets, and thread nuts onto each bolt
5. Confirm you are happy with the position of the tent, vehicle balance, and appearance then tighten all nuts to the brackets until the tent cannot move

The Wedge

1. Locate the 2 latches at the rear of the tent
2. Pull each red latch upward releasing its tension, then unhook the latch from the hook
3. Push up on the handles and the tent will rise into a wedge shape on its own
4. Locate the elastic cinch strap and pull it upward into the T-slot for storage
5. Attach your ladder at the desired entry point
1. For detailed ladder instructions, see Alpine Ladder Instructions
6. Unzip the screen and fabric covers, rolling them up and securing them with the storage clips
7. Deploy the included window awnings (see Window Awning Instructions) and Shoe Bags (see Shoe Bag Instructions)
8. Climb into your tent in its wedge form and it’s ready to use

The Pop-Up

1. Once your Alpine is in its wedge form, locate the 2 latches at the front of the tent and unlatch them from the frame of the tent
2. Push up on the handles to transform the Alpine from a wedge to a full pop-up
3. Locate the elastic cinch strap and pull it downward into the T-Slot for storage
4. Unzip all the window covers to create a full-screen room, rolling up each fabric cover and securing with the storage clips
5. Zip up all the fabric window covers to create a full dark room
6. It is seriously dark w/all of the windows and doors zipped up... that sun is not going to ruin your plans to sleep in w/nature a bit.
