Detailed Explanation
Mounting a Skycamp near an awning requires careful planning. The goal is to allow both the tent and the awning to fully open and function safely without obstruction.
Tent Deployment: The Skycamp opens with a folding mechanism; adequate side clearance ensures the tent can fully extend without hitting the awning.
Awning Deployment: Roof rack or vehicle-mounted awnings often extend 6–10 feet. Sufficient space prevents damage to either the tent or the awning during setup.
Tips for Proper Installation
Measure Twice: Check both the awning width and tent footprint before installation.
Use Level Ground: Uneven mounting surfaces may reduce clearance and affect deployment.
Visual Test: If possible, mock up the tent and awning position on the ground before mounting to ensure proper spacing.
Warnings & Safety Notes
Do Not Force Deployment: Trying to open the Skycamp or awning with insufficient clearance may damage either unit.
Check Vehicle Load: Ensure your roof rack and vehicle can safely support both the tent and any additional mounted awning.
Follow Manufacturer Specs: Always reference the Skycamp and awning installation manuals for maximum safety and warranty compliance.
