Tuff Stuff Alpine 51 Installation Instructions

Mounting Tent

  1. Mounting your tent requires a minimum of 2 people for lifting. 
  2. Position the tent on top of the vehicle's roof rack, bed rack, or trailer, and center it to your liking. If you have a hatchback make sure you have clearance to open the back.
  3. Using the supplied hardware and mounting plates, slide the hardware into the channel so there are 2 bolts per corner (one in front and one behind the vehicle's crossbars)
  4. Run the bolts through the holes of the mounting brackets, and thread nuts onto each bolt.
  5. Confirm you are happy with the position of the tent, vehicle balance, and appearance then tighten all nuts to the brackets until the tent cannot move.

The Wedge

  1. Locate the 2 latches at the rear of the tent.
  2. Pull each red latch upward releasing its tension, then unhook the latch from the hook.
  3. Push up on the handles and the tent will rise into a wedge shape on its own.
  4. Locate the elastic cinch strap and pull it upward into the T-slot for storage.
  5. Attach your ladder at the desired entry point. For detailed ladder instructions, see Alpine Ladder Instructions.
  6. Unzip the screen and fabric covers, rolling them up and securing them with the storage clips.
  7. Deploy the included window awnings (see Window Awning Instructions) and Shoe Bags (see Shoe Bag Instructions).
  8. Climb into your tent in its wedge form and it’s ready to use.

The Pop-Up

  1. Once your Alpine is in its wedge form, locate the 2 latches at the front of the tent and unlatch them from the frame of the tent.
  2. Push up on the handles to transform the Alpine 51 from a wedge to a full pop-up.
  3. Locate the elastic cinch strap and pull it downward into the T-Slot for storage.
  4. Unzip all the window covers to create a full screen room, rolling up each fabric cover and securing with the storage clips.
  5. Zip up all the fabric window covers to create a full dark room.

Effective temporary fix
Style: 18oz, Style: 18oz
The slim brand has always been an genuine effective fix. I have been using slime since I used to ride on bicycles. Well it is not a permanent fix for if you have a hole in your inner tube it is a great fix to hold you over until you are able to get to either the mechanic or to your local store to get a replacement inner tube. Overall, it's worth every penny and you get plenty in the canister that it comes in depending on which slime you are getting whether that's the plastic bottle for your inner tubes for a bicycle or the metal canister as I've shown in my picture for your SUVs trucks or vans. However I don't give this an entire five stars but more of four stars not because of their product but because resorting to using slime rather than fixing the problem is more of my own problem. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍👍

Don't buy doesn't work
Style: 18oz, Style: 18oz
Terrible did nothing. Even tried to let wheel turn 360 degrees yet the solution get in the tire leak proper. Directions on can differ from instructions on here/Amazon. I followed directions on can EXACTLY and still didnt even hold one PSI of air. I'd be better off burning the $10 for warmth rather then waste it this way

Amazing stuff
Style: 14oz
I’ve been using this stuff for a number of years for a number of vehicles now and it works every time. It’s especially great with those small annoying leaks where you just lose a couple pounds every few days so you have to keep adding air like once a week. It totally seals it. The bottle says to only rely on it for 300 to 500 miles and then get a proper fix. However, I have not found this to be the case. The seal holds for the rest of the life of my tire every time I’ve used it. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little cheaper, but you can seal up 2 tires (use only half the can per tire - you can probably even get away with using less). There is a garage not far from me that fixes leaking tires for $10, which is the same price as this product so not really saving any money by using it. It’s more just a matter of convenience. Just make sure you get this “thru-core” one. They have other ones as well so it can get confusing, but the one you’d want for situations like I’ve described above (small to medium leak in a typical passenger vehicle) is this “thru-core” one.
