Product Information
Full details
The TentBox Thermal Kit is designed for dedicated campers and winter adventurers who want to extend their outdoor season by transforming their roof tent into a fully insulated sleeping environment. The primary benefit is its ability to trap warmth and significantly reduce interior condensation, creating a much more comfortable climate on chilly nights. However, users should note that the quilted insulation adds a layer of bulk inside the tent, which requires careful management when folding the tent down for travel.

FAQs
Can I leave the Thermal Kit installed while driving?
Yes, but you must ensure it is neatly packed so that it does not interfere with the closing mechanism of the tent shell.
Does this kit replace the need for a sleeping bag?
No, it acts as an insulation layer for the tent, not a sleeping bag. You should still use appropriate bedding for the ambient temperature.
Will this fit the TentBox Lite or Cargo models?
No, this specific version is designed exclusively for the TentBox Classic 1.0 and 2.0.
How do I wash the thermal fabric?
Spot-clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may damage the quilted insulation.
Does the kit block the tent windows?
No, it includes integrated openings that match the position of your tent's windows, allowing you to use them as normal.
Does the black colour affect internal temperature?
The black colour is primarily aesthetic to match the tent; the thermal performance comes from the thickness and quilted nature of the material.
Troubleshooting
The tent does not close fully after installation
Ensure the thermal kit is tucked neatly away from the hinges and gas struts before collapsing the tent frame.
Condensation is still forming inside
Check that the tent's external rainfly vents are open to allow for proper airflow between the thermal layer and the outer shell.
Clips keep coming undone
Check that each clip is fully snapped into the frame housing and that the tension is balanced across all attachment points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: start by clearing the interior of the tent and locating the internal frame attachment points. Connect the kit using the provided clips, working your way around the perimeter until the fabric is tensioned correctly.
Compatibility: This specific model is designed for the TentBox Classic 1.0 and 2.0. Do not attempt to install on other TentBox styles as the dimensions and frame attachment points will differ.
Care: Keep the thermal layer clean by spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Always ensure the kit is completely dry before folding your tent for storage to prevent mildew or mold growth on the fabric.
