Welcome back to the channel. In todays video we take our tent camping to the "next level". Follow along to see how simple the install is when paired with the Leitner ACS Forged bed rack, and to hear our take on camping in this RTT.


*Post Upload Edit__Please Read!!!* load bars set between 36" and 42" apart is optimal RoofNest Tents! Sliding the load bar the the furthest back position on a Leitner rack system as i did in the video is about 8-10" too far!!!

Step 1- Make sure majority of equipment and bedding is in a location that won’t effect collapsing, and clear the 4 corners of the mattress to allow for collapsing the struts. Store ladder in middle if desired.
Step 2- Connect the interior siding bungies to plastic loops in a cross pattern. This aids in pulling the sides in while the tent is collapsing. If you don’t do this your sides will bellow out with the force of the air
Step- 3 Open/un zip side and rear entry flaps and place flap border rod inside tent opening on mattress
Step 4- use the rear pull lead to lower the rear of the tent. Once lowered ONLY attach the rear fabric tension strap (do not buckle side latches)
Step 5- use the front pull lead to lower the front. There will be a bit of air to come out so be patient. Having the flaps unzipped per 3rd step will make this process faster.
Step 6- Once enough air is out, connect the front latches. If you can’t get the front down far enough to latch do not force it, double check the interior for pillows or material in the way of the struts.
Step 7- slightly release tension from the rear fabric strap and allow the rear of the tent to come up a few inches. This will allow you to stuff any remaining side material up into the shell.
Step 8- release retention strap from buckle, stuff in rear pull lead, push down the rear fully shut and latch side. Replace tension strap in buckle and store in plastic clip on bottom as a safety catch.
