Manual SunnCamp Opus 500 Tent

Manual

The inner tent is fitted with a divider which can be

u

sed to create two separate areas. It can also be un-

zipped and rolled up to create one large area.

The side entrance is single skinned and can be rolled

out of the way and retained by a set of loops and

toggles.

When closed, the zip cover/baffle must be carefully

pressed into place ensuring the velcro tabs are

aligned and the skirt correctly positioned, secured by

tent pegs, to avoid water ingress should it rain.

The front entrance is dual skinned with one mesh (fly

screen)and one solid. One or both can be rolled out

of the way or can be raised to create a porch. Your

SunnCamp stockist can supply, as an additional

item, a set of porch poles that simply slot together.

When used as a porch, insert the spike end of the

porch poles into the eyelets at the entrance’s two

corner pegging points, then hook a guy rope over

the spike and secure to the ground with a peg.

Adjust each guy rope tension to bring the porch

square.

When closed, the zip cover/baffle must be carefully

secured into place, ensuring the velcro tabs are

aligned and the skirt correctly positioned, secured by

tent pegs, to avoid water ingress should it rain.

All windows have curtains, which

can be closed and are secured in

place with velcro tape.

When open, carefully roll the

curtain and secure with toggle

and loop.

The over window vent, is a simple flap that is held

closed by a Velcro strip. When opened, a small

support is used to ‘prop’ the vent open.

The rear vent is a

simple flap that is

held closed by a

Velcro strip.

When opened, the flap

is supported by a guy

rope.

Once the tent is erected, check that the weather

skirting, to the base of the tent, is correctly laid to

help prevent water ingress. These can be secured in

place using the elasticated pegging points

It is advisable to have a ‘Fire’ bucket filled with

water, placed outside the tent.

Hopefully it will never be needed, but if it is, you

will be glad you made the effort.

The tent fabric is fire retardant, NOT fire proof and

therefore you must not smoke or use a naked flame

in or near it. This includes the traditional ‘camp fire’.

Guy ropes can cause a trip hazard and should be

marked so that passers by can see them.

Tent pegs are also a trip hazard and should not be

left ‘half in’.

Cleaning…

Both inside and outside of the tent should only be

cleaned using fresh clean water and a damp cloth.

Do not use detergents or chemical cleaners.

Storing…

The tent is best stored in its original carry-bag.

However, if the tent is dismantled when wet, you

MUST thoroughly dry the tent as soon as possible.

After a wet pack-up, erect the tent as soon as

possible and allow its flysheet, guy ropes and of

course the carry-bag to fully dry naturally before

repacking everything away. If stored when the

Unpack the tent and place the carry-bag somewhere

safe. Separate all components and check that

everything is present.

The shock corded roof

poles are folded down to

aid storage. When fitting

the pole sections

together, make sure that the pole body is fully

inserted into its adjoining ferrule.

Take all shock corded poles and slot together.

Lay the tent flysheet out on the selected ground

area with the entrance correctly positioned.

Insert a black shock

corded pole into each of

the three sleeves. Each

pole has a pair of angled

ferrules. Position one ferrule at each end of a sleeve.

Each shock corded pole end slots onto a pin on a

ring. The pin and ring are

attached to an adjustable

webbing strap.

The ring is also used as the

securing point for the tent

peg.

Starting with one pole,

insert the ring pin into the

end of the pole. Next, go to the other end of the pole

and insert the ring

pin. Repeat with

the remaining two.

You can now attach

the pole clips onto

each pole to bring

the tent flysheet

into the correct

shape.

Bring the tent to an upright position by pegging out

the side guy ropes.

These may need to be re-pegged later.

Ensure that all entrances to the tent are closed with

all zips fully secured.

If this is not done now, the tent will be out of

alignment when fitting the tent pegs.

Starting with the four corner tags, secure the tent to

the ground using the tent pegs. Then secure all

remaining tags.

When inserting into the ground, the peg should be

set at a 45-degree angle away from the tent.

Pegs should be

h

ammered into the

ground using a

suitable mallet and

NOT pressed in with

the foot. Most bent

pegs are caused by using your foot rather than a

mallet.

Peg removal can be made

easier if you use a

suitable extractor.

Pegs used to secure an

entrance or door opening

can be left slightly

raised. This will allow

easy hooking and

unhooking when opening

or closing the door.

Secure each guy rope,

positioning its peg at a suitable

distance from the tent.

Once in position, tighten the

ropes equally to bring the tent

to its natural shape. DO NOT

over tighten.

To tighten, hold the rope above

the slider and pull the slider up. To release, hold the

rope above the slider and pull the slider down.

Remember that all guy ropes are a trip hazard,

especially in the dark.

Open the side entrance making sure that the zip is

fully undone. Roll the entrance fully back and secure

in place with the

loop and toggles.

Fit the inner tent

starting with the

base, connecting

each corner clip

(which is fitted to

an adjustable

strap) to the

captive receiver

fitted to the tent’s groundsheet.

The inner tent is supported within the flysheet by

loops and toggles. Working from the back, attach

each loop to its respective toggle to bring the inner

tent into shape.

The entrances to the inner tent are single skinned

with a mesh panel at the top, which has an internal

zipped curtain. Each entrance can be zipped closed

or opened and rolled back out of the way.

The inner tent is fitted with a rear window that is in

line with the rear vent of the flysheet. This allows

light and air to enter the sleeping area if required.
