Tent Orientation On Your Vehicle
There are two mounting options for the orientation of your new Latitude
Roof Top Tent. Either the tent will open so that the ladder extends off the
back of the vehicle, “Rear Mounted,” or the ladder extends off the side of
your vehicle, “Side Mounted.” Most of our customers choose to mount
their tents with the ladder extending off the side of the vehicle, in the
“Side Mounted” orientation.
Either orientation works for larger vehicles, however, most saloons,
hatchbacks or smaller SUVs are better suited for the side
mounted option.

Side Mounted Rear Mounted
Benefits for the side mounted
orientation:
1. Allows for bicycle racks and other
tow hitch/bar accessories to be
installed without interfering with your
tent operation.
2. Closed tent width will fit inside the
roof dimensions of most cars and
SUV’s. i.e. the tent base will not
extend beyond the roof line of your
vehicle when closed.
3. Typically does not require cutting
of the mounting rails.
Benefits for the rear mounted
orientation:
1. Fits into narrow camping spaces.
2. Trunk or tail gate area at the rear of
your vehicle is accessible from inside
the annex.
Tent Assembly
Attaching Mounting Rails
1. After removing the contents, close the tent so the channel mounting
surface is facing upwards (the side with 8 holes in the centre area).
2. Take the mounting rails and align them with the pre drilled holes to
coinside with the desired orientation.
The inner 4 holes are for narrow roof bars under 80cm wide.
3. Slide the 10 mm nylock nuts into the central channel on the mounting
rails and align them with the holes.
4. Now take the 35 mm bolts with the large washers and slide them up
through the holes from inside the tent and tighten.

Installing the Ladder
1. Flip the tent over so the side with mounting channels is facing down.
2. Align the ladder brackets over the pre drilled holes at the edge of the
bed/tent base.
3. Feed the 35mm bolts with washers from the inside of the tent and
screw on the nylock nuts by reaching inside the tent.
DO NOT TIGHTEN YET.
4. Align the ladder with the brackets. Using the 20 mm bolts and
remaining hardware (see Diagram B), attach the ladder and tighten.
Note: the order of the hardware should be:
Bolt - Washer - Bracket - Washer - Ladder - Nylock nut
5. Tighten the nuts attaching the ladder brackets to the tent frame.

Tent Assembly
Installing Travel Cover
1. To attach the travel cover, first fasten the buckles on either side of the tent to
compress and hold the canopy in place.
2. Slide the rounded fabric end of the cover into the rounded C-channel at the
hinge side of the tent base. Make sure the cover is oriented so the exterior side
of the cover faces up when you pull the cover over the tent. Then fold over.
3. Zip the travel cover to the base along the three edges, taking care that the
tent fabric does not become caught in the zipper.
4. Secure the two long straps over the top of the travel cover and attach to the
buckles.
