Check with your vehicle manufacturer for the dynamic weight capacity of your roof rack or cross bars, and make sure it is at least the weight of the tent. Most overland truck bed racks are designed to carry a roof top tent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of rack or cross bars do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tent mounts on two cross bars (never directly on the roof). Cross bars should be at least 30\" apart and no more than 60\" apart. The included brackets fit cross bars up to 3.25\" wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between dynamic and static weight load?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dynamic weight load is what your rack can carry while driving, and it must cover the weight of the tent. The static load (when parked) is much higher, which is why the tent can hold you and your gear at camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I open the tent?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRelease the 2 rear latches and push up on the handles: the roof rises into a wedge on its own. For the full pop-up, release the 2 front latches and push up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be mounted on a pickup truck bed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, with a truck bed tent rack. Tuff Stuff offers universal bed racks that mount to the sides of the bed with pinch plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do before camping in rain or snow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore your first wet trip, set up the tent, spray it with water and let it dry completely. The canvas swells slightly and seals the stitching holes. You only need to do this once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean the tent?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrush or vacuum out dirt, clean the fabric with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft brush, rinse well, and let it dry fully in the sun with all windows open before closing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for the zippers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZippers are exposed to sand, mud and weather. Rubbing a little beeswax along them keeps them running smoothly and greatly extends their life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShipping\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tent ships by LTL truck freight.
