Thank you for purchasing a 23 ZERO Roof Top Tent
Congratulations on the purchase of 23ZERO’s YOWIE Hardshell Roof Top Tent. We strive to
provide you with the ultimate camping experience. The YOWIE Tent mounts directly to a roof rack,
tub rack or aftermarket roof bars. It opens and is fully setup in seconds. As well as our innovative
LST fabric, this hardshell tent is made with durable materials and high-quality fabrics that provide
excellent water and wind protection.
Note: During set up and rst use, some aluminium swarf may be present inside the roof top tent.
We make every possible attempt to expel all aluminium swarf, however, with vibrations caused
by logistics some residual may dislodge and reappear. It is advised to remove and clean these
during rst set up.

Fitting to roof rack
The YOWIE roof top tent must be tted to roof racks with hinges facing left hand side of vehicle
(AUS passenger side). It will open over the right hand side (AUS driver’s side). Clamp 4 corners
using 8 x 55mm M8 bolts, 8 slide plates & 4 x mounting plate supplied.
Lift roof top tent on top of the vehicle’s roof rack (minimum 4-person lift).
Important: Ensure the YOWIE is closed and locked in position..
Fit 8 x 55mm M8 bolts into 8 x slide plates and slide each into bottom mounting rail. Position these
so there are 2 sets of bolts in each corner of the tent. Lift / tilt the roof top tent to allow the inner
bolts to cross over onto the inside of the roof bars, See pic below.
YOWIE USER MANUAL
Inspect the position of the roof top tent to ensure it will open in the desired position.
Place a mounting plate under the roof bar whilst locating the bolts and hand tighten Nylok nut.
Repeat for all 4 corners. Double check the tent’s position as desired and tighten all nuts securely
with 13mm spanner. Insert end caps into the ends of the mounting rails, this may require light taps
with a hammer.
IMPORTANT: Before using the YOWIE, all bolts / fastners used to mount the tent to vehicle
or trailer must be re-checked for tightness and good repair including factory tted mounting
rail bolts under the mattress (top nut in diagram above). Lift mattress to check.
Inspections: Roof top tents have many moving parts so maintenance checks are always advised.
During trips regularly check that all the above xings are tight and in good repair.

For your safety and protection, ensure correct placement and angle of ladder. See diagrams
below. Recommended ladder placement is a 4:1 ratio or approx. 70° to 75°.
NOTE: Under no circumstances should anyone be inside the roof top tent if the ladder is
not locked and secured at the correct angle.
The ladder may need to be adjusted to achieve the correct angle depending on the height of your
setup. If shortening is required, the adjustment must be done from the top.
Ensure the ladder is fully extended and all rungs are locked in place. Press the rst set of locking
buttons (second rung from the top) and allow the ladder to compress until a gap of approx. 85mm
is achieved between rung 1 & 2.
Note: The ladder will only lock in the downward position.
Swing in the bottom of the ladder until it supports the weight of the roof top tent. If the angle of the
ladder is between 70° and 75°, the adjustment is complete.
Ladder adjustment
NOTE: When height adjusted, the ladder will only lock in the downward position.
If further adjustment is required, repeat the above steps by continuing the sequence by depressing
the next set of locking buttons.
If further shortening is required press the second set of locking buttons (third rung from the top).
This will close the 85mm gap until rung 1 & 2 are now touching. Swing in the bottom of the ladder
until it supports the weight of the roof top tent. If the angle of the ladder is between 70° and 75°,
this adjustment is complete.
