Warranty Information

  • Wind and Weather Damage Not Covered: Do not use your roof top tent in adverse weather conditions, such as high winds or storms, as damage from these is not covered under warranty.
  • 12-Month Structural Warranty: Covers manufacturing and material defects only. Excludes damage from incorrect use, improper mounting, or failure to follow care instructions.
  • Consumer Rights: Under Australian Consumer Law, for major structural failures, we will replace or refund at our discretion. For minor issues, we’ll work with you to find the best solution.

Care Tips

  • Open Zippers Fully: Open any zippers fully before folding the bag to avoid stress on the zipper.
  • Pack Canvas Tightly: Roll up the canvas tightly to minimise movement during travel and prevent rubbing and holes in the canvas.
  • Protect Metal Parts: Use lanolin spray on brackets and metal components to protect against surface rust.
  • Maintain Waterproofing: Apply canvas reproofer spray regularly to maintain waterproofing.
  • Check Bolts Regularly: Check bolts regularly, as they may loosen during travel.
  • Clean After Every Trip: Inspect and clean after every trip: Brush off dirt and debris with a soft brush. Use lukewarm water and mild, non-detergent soap for canvas or fabric. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry completely before packing.
  • Manage Condensation: Wipe down interior condensation before packing. Always ventilate and use moisture absorbers to assist with condensation.
  • Prevent Mould: Fully dry the tent before storing, ideally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. If wet or condensation forms, set up the tent at home or partially open it to dry completely. Use a fan in humid conditions to speed up drying.
  • Maintain Zippers: Clean zippers with a soft brush to remove sand or dust. Apply silicone-based lubricant or wax to keep zippers smooth. Open and close fully when packing.
  • Check Mounting Hardware: Before and after trips, tighten bolts, brackets, and rails.
  • Prevent Rust: Apply lanolin spray or rust-preventive lubricant to metal parts (ladders, hinges) every 3–6 months. Clean with fresh water after coastal trips.
  • Pack Securely for Travel: Fold the tent tightly and secure in its cover to prevent rubbing or tears. Use extra tie-down straps on corrugated roads.
  • Store Properly: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated, shaded area, elevated off the ground. Use a breathable cover if stored on a vehicle.
  • Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the tent's maximum weight capacity to prevent structural damage

Fitting Advice

  • Warranty claims may be denied if the roof top tent is not mounted with load-rated brackets or systems.
  • Use supplied mounting systems or Bushwakka-approved alternatives listed in our Fitting Advice
