Frequently Asked Questions - TRT120E Ocean DOMETIC

How to set up the TRT120E Ocean rooftop tent?

The assembly can be done electrically via remote control or manually using the spare poles. Follow the steps illustrated in the manual: deployment from the vehicle roof, ladder attachment, and stability check.

Can I use the tent in bad weather?

No. Avoid using the tent in case of strong winds, storms, or tempests. If caught in a storm, immediately leave the tent and take shelter in your vehicle.

How to clean the tent?

Clean the tent with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not use chemical or abrasive products. Apply a waterproofing agent before each trip. Let it dry completely before storing.

What to do in case of water leak?

Check the seams, tapes, and wet areas. If you find a leak, apply a seam sealant. Heavy condensation can also be mistaken for a leak; increase ventilation.

The remote control does not work, what to do?

You can unfold the tent manually using the spare poles provided. Also check the remote control batteries. If the problem persists, contact an authorized specialist for the electric motor.

What is the maximum weight supported by the tent?

The manual does not specify an exact maximum weight, but the tent is designed to accommodate 2 adults with a 5 cm thick high-density foam mattress. Ensure your vehicle's roof rack supports the total weight (53 kg + occupants).

Can I cook inside the tent?

No. It is forbidden to use combustion appliances (barbecue, gas heater) inside due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.

How to store the tent for a long period?

Remove the tent from the vehicle, clean it and make sure it is completely dry. Store it in a dry and well-ventilated place. Do not store it on the vehicle roof if not in use.

Is the tent suitable for all vehicles?

It requires approved roof bars (e.g., GS label) and sufficient load capacity of the vehicle and roof rack. Check your vehicle's maximum authorized load before installation.

What is the procedure in case of a storm?

Immediately leave the tent and take shelter in your vehicle. Stay inside the vehicle until the storm passes to avoid being struck by lightning. Never stay in the tent during a storm.

▶ Care for seams and zippers with suitable care products.
▶ Keep the motorized push rods clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth.

Troubleshooting

NOTE

• During first exposure to water there may be some moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing process.
• A fully equipped spare parts kit should include:
• waterproofer
  – repair tape and repair solution
  – silicone spray for the zippers
• spare pegs

Problem Solution

Water leak	▶ Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings and moist areas. ▶ If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter "Condensation" on page 10. ▶ If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric	▶ Use repair tape to seal the fabric. ▶ Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.
Motor or remote control is not working	▶ Use the spare poles for manual setup (see chapter "Setting up the rooftop tent manually" on page 10). ▶ Have repairs on the electrical motor or the motorized push rods carried out by an authorized specialist. ▶ Replace the battery of the remote control.
Ladder hooks are worn or broken	▶ Contact the manufacturer for replacement.
Noise while setting up or folding down the rooftop tent	▶ Inspect the poles and joints. ▶ Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.

Condensation

All tents suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• high air humidity
• a drop in temperature

Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties, tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.

▶ Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
