To install the Thule Ayer 2 901200, first ensure your roof rack is compatible. Place the tent on the roof rack, aligning it properly. Secure the tent using the provided mounting brackets and hardware, tightening them firmly. Verify the tent is stable before driving.
Clean the tent using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the material. Gently scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly. Allow the tent to dry completely before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
Inspect for any tears or punctures in the fabric. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the rainfly is properly secured. Consider applying a seam sealer to the tent seams for added waterproofing.
Regularly inspect the tent for wear and tear before and after each use. Clean the tent and ensure it is dry before storage. Lubricate zippers periodically to prevent them from sticking.
While it is possible to leave the tent on the roof rack, it is recommended to remove it to extend its lifespan. Continuous exposure to the elements can cause wear. Store it in a dry, shaded area when not in use.
Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storage. Fold it neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using the original storage bag can help protect it from dust and pests.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zippers. Apply a zipper lubricant to ease movement. If the zipper is damaged, consider a professional repair to maintain the tent's functionality.
Avoid setting up the tent under trees or in areas prone to falling debris. Regularly check and tighten all fastenings. Consider using a protective cover when storing the tent for extended periods.
Ensure the tent is clean and dry. Remove the rainfly and fold it neatly. Collapse the tent frame, folding the tent fabric carefully. Secure with the included straps and place it in the storage bag.
Check the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof rack system. The Thule Ayer 2 requires a rack with sufficient load capacity. Consult your vehicle and roof rack manuals for compatibility details.
