title: Description content: | The Armourdillo’s ultra-durable 3mm aluminium hard shell is robust and aerodynamic and features universal roof rail tracks so you can easily carry 4x4 equipment, bikes, kayaks, surfboards and more by adding roof racks. The Armourdillo® is the shortest hard-shell rooftop tent on the market and comes with a universal mounting system, which means it fits on almost any vehicle. It takes just 1-2 minutes to set up the Armourdillo as internal gas struts do the heavy lifting for you. The tent has external and internal LED strip lights, conveniently powered by a USB power bank. Inside the tent, you’ll sleep soundly on a comfortable 50mm high-density foam mattress. The shell has been insulated to help keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. To top it off, we’ve included a skylight for stargazing. The outer rain cover is made of high-strength ripstop fabric with a 3000mm waterproof rating, and the main tent is made of seam-sealed poly-cotton canvas with a 2000mm waterproof rating. The Armourdillo® a game changer for those pack-and-go weekend missions to your favourite camping spots and provides a touch of luxury on those hardcore 4x4 wilderness adventures. Wherever you go, you’re home.

We recommend mounting the tent from the back of your vehicle to reduce the risk of scratching it. The tent's thinner “pointy” end should be facing towards the front of your vehicle. Ideally, you want two people to lift at the front and two at the back. Grab the bottom panel and lift to your waist, then your shoulders, then above your head. Gently slide the tent onto your roof rack/bar system and ensure it’s aligned correctly. Insert two square-headed bolts into the rail under the tent and slide them along so there’s one on each side of your crossbar. Attach the bottom bracket under your crossbar, fitting it over the two bolts. Attach one nut on each bolt and tighten them using the 17mm spanner provided. Make sure to tighten them at the same time. Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining three brackets and your roof tent should be securely set-up and ready to go. - title: Set Up Instructions content: | Check out the Tech Talk video below for simple instructions on opening your roof tent, using the telescopic ladder, and erecting the tent canopy.

Here are some basic guidelines for extending the performance and lifespan of your tent. Always open the windows to create airflow when using the tent. Allow the tent to dry before packing it away to prevent mould and mildew. Spot clean dirt, stains, or mould with a mild detergent in warm water. Give the shell a clean whenever you wash your vehicle. Re-apply waterproof treatment to the tent fabric every year or two. - title: 'Warranty & Returns' content: | Armourdillo® Warranty For 24 months from the date of purchase our products are fully warrantied with proof of purchase to the original owner against major defects in material and workmanship.
