The roof of the Couple Cottage opens manually:
Opening the roof
- Release the tensioning straps/clips on the inside left and right of the front part of the roof to unlock the roof.
- Press the switch on the side of the bed for about 3 seconds - until it "clicks" - to unlock the roof.
- Take the ladder out of the boot. Pull out the telescopic ladder completely. Hang it on the horizontal rail on the hooks provided on the side of the ladder.
- Push the roof upwards and let it open all by itself.
There is a safety net under the upper mattress that can be stretched over the opening if necessary to prevent objects and small children from falling off.
Closing the roof
- To close the roof, make sure that all windows in the roof are closed and that nothing is lying on the mattress.
- Connect the left and right sides of the roof tent with the tape attached to the tent fabric.
- Stow the ladder back in the trunk.
- Pull the roof down using the 2 straps (that hang from the roof into the living area).
- Make sure that the tent fabric does not stick out or get caught.
- First pull the handle on the passenger side until you hear a “click” sound and then on the driver's side to lock the roof in the “closed” position.
- Check that both sides are really locked.
- Secure the roof again with the click fasteners.
If the bed is not properly closed, it will make a beep sound as soon as you switch on the motor.
Please note the following:
- Never drive with the roof open.
- When retracting and extending the high roof always open the window or door to equalise the pressure!
- When retracting the roof, always check that nothing is lying on the mattress, that the zips of the roof windows are closed and that the fabric bellows are not jammed in the flaps or protruding from the side of the vehicle.
