Top open or close the pop-up roof on the Liberty Lodge you need to make sure that at least one window or door is open. Then follow these steps:
- Check if the rooftop is unlocked. If it is locked, use the black oval key to unlock it.
- Release all security clips:
- Then lift the roof on both sides simultaneously. You might need two people at first. With a little practice it is doable alone though 😊. Push the roof up on the two handles on each side to avoid damages, do not push up on the window! At a certain point the roof will extend fully on its own, but it does need a good push. Make sure you keep the long black straps attached otherwise it will be hard to shut.
- In front of the mattress you will find the ladder in two pieces. Unfold and lock securely:
The rooftop always has to be shut while moving.
To shut the rooftop:
- Make sure that there are no items up on the bed (like pillows or blankets).
- Check that the two lights are folded in and the tent-windows are closed.
- Then slowly pull on the black straps to get the roof to come down. Make sure you tuck the tent fabric in before fully shutting it, because the tent fabric gets cut by the metal frame if left outside.
- Always make a test, if the roof is shut: If you can still lift one of the sides it is not completely shut. In that case pull on the handle hard for it to lock in place.
- Once it is securely shut, reattach the buckles as an extra security measure to hold the roof down in any case. You can also lock the rooftop again.
