Telescopic ladder 2.3 m (standard) or 2.6 m (optional for an extra charge)
Poles for supporting window awnings and the rainfly over the entrance
Two large shoe bags hung on either side of the ladder
⇒ Installation: The tent can be mounted on any vehicle equipped with two crossbars or a roof rack (platform). If the rack frame is higher than its base, an extra crossbar may be required so the tent does not sink into the rack. Mounting brackets are adjustable along the tent’s longer side, allowing them to fit different bar spacings. The tent is attached using 8 bolts and 4 flat brackets, forming 4 clamps – two per bar. The Vario opens to the passenger side. Minimum bar spacing is half the tent length – e.g., 80 cm for the 160 model, 105 cm for the 210 model.
⇒ Quick setup (low effort):
Loosen the three buckle straps along the tent edge
Slightly push the lid upward – gas struts will raise it fully
Fully extend the ladder
Use the ladder as a lever to open the floor and support it
Install poles supporting the window awnings and rainfly
