Learn how to install the ROAM Vagabond RTT Annex Extension step by step. Avoid common mistakes and get a taller, more usable annex room.
Quick Answer
To set up the ROAM Vagabond RTT Annex Extension, zip it between the annex wall and the tent floor, starting from the center and working outward. Confirm your tent version first—the Vagabond 2.0 uses a different extension than the original Vagabond.
Why the Annex Extension Matters
The 12-inch annex extension adds height to your annex room, making the door taller and the space more comfortable for standing or moving around. It's a simple upgrade, but getting the zip order right is key to a weatherproof seal.
Before you start, check which Vagabond version you own. The extension for the Vagabond 2.0 is not compatible with the original Vagabond, and vice versa. Using the wrong one won't zip correctly and can damage the fabric.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Step 1: Verify Your Tent Version: Check the model of your Vagabond tent. Look for a label or stitching that indicates 'Vagabond 2.0' or 'V1'. This determines which extension to use. Using the wrong extension can cause zipper damage.
- Step 2: Unzip the Annex Wall: Open the annex wall zipper fully. The extension attaches between the wall and the floor, so you need clear access to both zipper tracks. Ensure the zipper is fully open to avoid snagging.
- Step 3: Align the Extension: Position the extension so its zipper track aligns with the annex wall's track, and the bottom edge matches the floor track. Start zipping from the center of the wall to avoid misalignment. Starting from the center helps prevent twisted fabric.
- Step 4: Zip the Bottom Edge: Once the top is zipped, zip the bottom edge of the extension into the floor track. Work slowly and keep the fabric flat to avoid bunching. Smooth the fabric as you go to prevent wrinkles that can cause leaks.
- Step 5: Test the Door: After zipping, open and close the annex door to confirm it moves freely. The extension should make the door taller, so it should not drag on the ground. If the door drags, check that the extension is fully zipped and not twisted.
