Installation of Awning on roof rack
Set up
To set up the 270-degree awning, first open the zipper at the bottom of the case and push it upwards.
Then open the four Velcro straps to remove the fabric and extend the awning to the side.
With the attached strap, you can now secure the awning to the vehicle roof.
If needed, the awning can be supported with the four telescopic poles and stabilized. There are also additional ropes and ground pegs for securing the poles.
With a power bank, you can turn on the LED lighting.
First, remove the telescopic poles and store them in the provided bag.
Then, release the strap securing the awning to the vehicle roof so that you can fold it back to the side.
When folding it up, make sure to guide the fabric panels over the poles to neatly store the fabric in the case.
Place the awning arms on the designated metal support inside the case and secure the attached Velcro straps around the fabric.
Fold down the case and close the zipper.
- Although we use stainless steel for the fittings and fasteners on our tents, surface rusting may occur over time. This is completely normal and does not affect the hardness of the material. These deposits can be easily removed with isopropyl alcohol or WD-40.
- If your zippers are stiff or frequently get stuck, you can apply a little silicone spray to help. If there is a lot of tension in the fabric, it can be hel-pful to have a second person pull the tent fabric together while you close the zipper.
- We recommend treating movable parts such as hinges, gas springs, and ladders once a year with a small amount of WD-40 or an equivalent lubricant to ensure longevity.
- To ensure the rain resistance of the tent/or To ensure long-term protection of the awning fabric, we recommend impregnating it regularly. Commercially available outdoor waterproofing agents can be used for this purpose.
Safety Instructions
VICKYWOOD Roof Tents
Please ensure that all VICKYWOOD products are correctly and securely attached
to your vehicle, trailer, etc. You are responsible for the mounting,
attachment and safety of all VICKYWOOD products to your vehicle, even if the
mounting was done by a third party. Therefore, check the attachments in
advance and at regular intervals the products for adjustment, wear and damage.
Improper attachment could result in a car accident or serious and fatal
injuries. Therefore, it is imperative that all instructions and precautions
included or shipped with your VICKYWOOD products be read and understood before
installing and using the products. If the instructions and safety precautions
are not understood and you are not thoroughly familiar with the installation
in advance, the VICKYWOOD product should be installed by a professional
installer or a suitably qualified person.
The following points must be observed when the roof tent is folded on the
vehicle:
Load securing
Roof tents, roof racks or roof platforms that are not installed correctly can
come loose while driving and cause serious accidents and injuries. Therefore,
follow the enclosed instructions for installing, using and handling the roof
tents, roof racks or roof platforms. Before driving, make sure that the roof
tent mounts, bolts and carrier means have been properly and securely fastened.
For longer journeys, in rough terrain, the roof tent holders and screws must
be checked at regular intervals – every two hours – and tightened accordingly.
Furthermore, before driving, it must be ensured that the roof tent has been
completely and correctly closed. In the case of canopy roof tents, it must be
checked whether the roof tent cover and the straps have been closed. In the
case of hard-shell roof tents, it must be checked whether the closures have
been correctly locked.
Speed and driving behavior
The speed of the vehicle must always be adapted to the load carried and the
current driving conditions, such as road type, road quality, road condition,
wind conditions, traffic intensity and applicable speed limits, as well as
other traffic sails. Under no circumstances should the speed exceed 130 km/h.
The vehicle’s handling and braking characteristics change and air resistance
increases with speed and could exert too much force on the roof tent. Please
drive slowly over speed bumps – maximum speed 10 km/h.
Roof load
The permissible total weight of the respective vehicle must not be exceeded
under any circumstances. The vehicle manufacturer’s specifications on the
maximum and dynamic roof load must be observed. The permissible roof load is
not specified in the vehicle’s registration certificate; it can only be found
in the vehicle’s operating instructions. Regardless of this, the car as a
whole must not be overloaded, because overloading is dangerous and simply
forbidden. This applies not only to the permissible total weight, but also to
the maximum permissible roof load, because the roof load predominantly places
a load on the rear axle.
Maximum roof load: The total weight of the load that may be carried on
the roof of the car (also depends on the roof rack/platform).
Dynamic roof load: This is how much weight can be placed on the roof of
the car while driving.
Permissible total weight: The total weight of the vehicle with the load
on the roof and in the vehicle.
Calculation of dynamic roof load: Weight of roof rack/roof platform +
weight of roof tent + weight of payload = available roof load
Mounting instructions
For your own safety, only use tested, e.g. GS-approved roof racks that are
approved for use in conjunction with the vehicle. In order to avoid the
generation of excessive lifting forces, the roof tent must be mounted parallel
to the road line. Laterally, the roof tent must not protrude more than 40 cm
beyond the marker lights. A maximum of 2.55 m is permitted for the overall
width. To the front, the roof tent must not protrude beyond the roof of the
vehicle at all and must not impair the field of vision under any
circumstances. The height of the respective vehicle can increase by up to 60
cm – depending on the roof rack and roof tent used. Therefore, always consider
your adjusted vehicle height (incl. roof rack and roof tent) when entering
garages, parking garages, general clearance heights, low-hanging branches,
etc. The vehicle incl. roof tent must not exceed the maximum height of four
meters.
If no special mounting position is specified in the corresponding mounting
instructions, please maintain a minimum distance of 70 cm between the
crossbars. Please note that any changes, such as additional drill holes on the
mounting system or general structural changes to the roof tent are not
permitted and the warranty claims are therefore exhausted.
In addition to the roof tent instructions, the installation instructions of
the respective roof rack and the operating instructions of the respective
vehicle should also be taken into account.
Car wash
When using a car wash, the roof tent and corresponding roof rack must be
removed in advance.
General notes
A load on the roof affects the behavior of the vehicle. It changes the wind
resistance considerably, the fuel and power consumption increases. Therefore,
the roof tent and roof rack should be removed when not in use.
