Tools Required: Power Drill and Screwdriver

Installation:

Park the trailer on flat and level surface for the initial installation. This will insure the ramp room screen tent will be straight and square with the trailer.

Ramp Stand Assembly:

1. Find the channel with a threaded nylon insert. Place the threaded nylon insert with the notch up.
2. Place the second channel with a hole across the first channel with the hole on top forming the letter "X".
3. The stand pole with the stud bolt is screwed into the nylon insert through the channel with the hole. This should be tightened so there is no movement.
4. The top stand pole slides on the bottom assembly and is locked in place with the ball pin. See figure 1 below.
Note: Each ramp stand has a rubber coating on the top plate to prevent scratching of the ramp. There is also a tread plate set included to protect ramp's surface where ramp rests on ramp stands.

Figure 1

Ramp Preparation:

1. Place ramp stands at the approximate positions for each corner of the ramp. If terrain is not level, add leveling blocks as necessary to even out weight and level to ramp stands.
2. Pull the ball pin and raise or lower each ramp stand to the approximate position where the ramp will be approximately level. Align stand extension with the closest hole in the base and replace the stand pin.
3. Lower the ramp and move the ramp stands in position under ramp's door frame corners, where ramp is strongest. Mark this spot. Screw tread plates, one on each side, onto the ramp where ramp stand location had been marked. Then place stands under door frame corners where tread plates are located. Tread plates are provided to prevent scratching of ramp surface with ramp stand tops.
4. To reduce the possibility of ramp stands accidentally getting kicked over, insert tent stakes through each of the 2 holes on both ramp stands.
CAUTION: Failure to place stands under ramp's door frame could cause damage to door's outer fiberglass surface when ramp is placed under load.

Description of Pole Assemblies:

There are three pole assemblies; center roof pole assembly, rear/frame pole assembly and front pole assembly.
Some pole assemblies are shock corded; all are numbered with stickers to identify matching assembly poles and all are painted to make it easier to identify pole assemblies; center roof pole assembly is white, front pole assembly is white and rear/frame pole assembly is black. See figures 2, 3 and 4 below.

Extend all three pole assemblies to their longest length.

Center Pole Assembly:
The center pole assembly is made of 3 pieces and rests along the expansion zipper on the center of the roof of the inside of the ramp room and parallel with the zipper. The pole has a "C" clip on one end and a J-support on the opposite end. See figure 2.

Figure 2

Front Pole Assembly:
The front pole contains 11 pieces. When assembled, the horizontal poles will form an arch between the vertical poles. The vertical poles have a ball which is inserted into an end ball base and attached to the ramp floor. See figure 3.
Extend the vertical telescoping poles to their longest length. Lock in place with the lock lever. See figure 3.

Figure 3

Rear/Frame Pole Assembly:
The rear/frame pole when assembled, will form a square. The vertical poles will be capped on the bottom end with rubber caps to prevent slipping and will be placed on the trailer floor. See figure 4.

Ramp Room Screen Tent Assembly:

1. Spread the ramp room screen tent fabric on the cargo ramp. The zippers should be on the inside and the open end of the room towards the trailer opening.
2. Locate the fabric sleeves on each side of the open end on the rear of fabric assembly. Assemble the vertical side poles 1C, 1D and 1E of the rear pole assembly. Place the lock levers in the down/locked position. Feed the vertical side pole caps down through the two side panel sleeves, starting at the top panel.
3. Assemble the horizontal poles, 1A and 1B, of the rear pole assembly. Place the lock levers in the down position and slide them through the 4 sleeves across the roof panel of the fabric. See figure 4.
4. Insert the horizontal pole assembly into the vertical side poles to form the rear frame.
5. The fabric and rear pole assembly are moved inside the trailer door opening. Extend the horizontal frame of the rear pole assembly equally until they touch the trailer side walls. Place the levers in the locked position.
Note: The width of the room can be increased by unzipping the dart, extra fabric, in the center of the roof fabric.
6. Raise each vertical side pole until the horizontal pole touches the trailer ceiling. Place the levers in the locked position.
7. The rear pole assembly will hold the ramp room in place inside the trailer.
8. Assemble the front pole assembly inside the ramp room.
9. Grasp the center of the front pole assembly arch, place it against the roof fabric; and walk towards the end of the ramp. Place the arch at the front top stitch line. Wrap the 5 hook/loop belts around the arch poles to hold them in place.
10. Keep ball ends of side poles at ramp opening/hinge and extend the side poles as much as possible without lifting the ramp room off the ramp. The side poles should be at an angle.
11. Clip the center pole J-support in the center of the horizontal frame on the rear frame pole assembly. The ball socket must be facing toward the room. See figure 5.
12. Assemble the center rafter roof pole and place the ball end into the socket on the center pole support. See figure 5.

Figure 5

13. Unlock the lever and pull the center rafter pole until C-Clip can be snapped onto the center of the arch of the front pole assembly. Stretch the roof fabric taut and lock lever.
Note: The center rafter pole will pop out of the ball socket if too much tension is added.
14. A fabric flap 3 inches wide with loop tape sewn in, surrounds the door opening of the ramp room. The hook tape must be placed where it will stretch the fabric and seal around the door frame. Place this fabric flap against the walls and ceiling and mark the location. Peel the backing off the hook tape, approximately 12 inches at a time, and press it in place on the walls and ceiling.
Note: To ensure adhesion of the tape to the walls and ceiling, the surfaces must be clean and dry.
15. Locate a place for the ball end bases on the ramp surface, where they will be out of the way; but allow the ramp to close. The OPEN cutout should face the direction of the ramp end to allow for the pole rotation to different angles.
16. Attach the two ball end bases, one on each side of the ramp with two #8 x 0.75 inch screws. Snap the front pole assembly ball ends into the bases. Loosen the lock and extend each side equally until the fabric is taut.
17. The fabric is held against the ramp with an elastic cord stretched in a sleeve sewn into the bottom hem of the fabric assembly. At the ends of the elastic cord is a rubber coated hook that is to be attached to the ramp.
If the elastic cord hook is not large enough to fit on the edge of the ramp, four large rubber coated J-hooks are provided. Place the J-hook on the ramp edge and the elastic cord hook is secured in the J-hook.
18. Pull the front bottom corners taut and mark the location where the eyelet grommet makes contact to the ramp. This is repeated for both sides. Drill 1/8 inch pilot hole (9/64 inch in metal) and install a snap fastener on each side.
19. The corners of the roof fabric has web belts with buckles. Fasten the web belt to the corners of the rear/frame pole assembly and stretch the fabric tight to reduce water pooling.
20. Water bags can be added along the bottom for added bug protection.

Operating Tips:

1. Privacy panels can be unzipped and rolled up to allow air circulation.
2. The front panel can be unzippered and rolled up; however, this will open the end of the room and the possible danger of someone stepping off the ramp.
3. Storage pockets are located on both sides of the ramp room for personal items.

IMPORTANT: If trailer is equipped with a bed, DO NOT ROLL BED DOWN if room poles are in place.


Room Storage:

Note: If room is put away when conditions are wet, it should be set up and allowed to dry as soon as possible to prevent mold and mildew.

1. Loosen and unfasten buckle straps at rear top corners of the ramp room.
2. Unfasten hooks on the elastic cord and snap fasteners at bottom of room front corners.
3. Remove center roof pole assembly by un-clipping the C-clip from arched front pole assembly. Remove the center pole support with ball socket from rear/frame pole assembly. Disassemble center pole and place in pole storage bag.
4. Carefully pull the ball ends out of the ball end bases. Loosen the lock levers and shorten the side poles to the shortest length and lock the levers. The front fabric will start to collapse. Remove the five hook/loop straps from the arch and the pole assembly is free and the fabric will fall to the ramp. Disassemble front pole and place in pole storage bag.
5. Loosen the lock levers and lower the rear/frame pole assembly to its shortest height. Place levers into the lock position. The entire ramp room will be completely on the ramp. Loosen the locks on the horizontal pole and collapse to the shortest length. Remove vertical side pole from the horizontal pole and slide it out of the sleeves on the fabric. Repeat for other side. Do the same with the horizontal pole and take apart the entire rear/frame pole to be placed into the pole storage bag. Tie the pole storage bag closed.
6. The room is folded by bringing the sides into the middle. Fold each side again to the middle until the fabric is the width of the pole storage bag.

WARNING: Personal injury may result from falling or stepping off the end of the cargo ramp when the room is installed.

7. Roll the fabric assembly tightly around the poles squeezing out the air. Insert the fabric and poles into the ramp room storage bag. Store in a dry place.
8. Disassemble ramp stands in reverse of assembly and place in storage bag.
