Keep your rooftop tent clean and organized with the Oztent Apex Shoe Bag. Learn where to attach it and how to pack shoes efficiently for any adventure.
Quick Answer
Attach the Oztent Apex Shoe Bag to your Apex Roof Top Tent using its slider system, position it near the ladder or on the sides, and pack shoes with the soles facing down to keep dirt outside.
Why Store Shoes Outside the Tent
Keeping shoes outside your rooftop tent reduces dirt, mud, and moisture from entering your sleeping area. This is especially important in wet or dusty conditions where you want to climb into a clean, dry space.
The Oztent Apex Shoe Bag is designed for this purpose, with weather-resistant materials that protect your footwear from the elements while keeping the tent interior tidy.
Where to Position the Bag
The bag's sliding attachment lets you place it on either side of the ladder or at the sides or rear of the tent. Choose a spot that is easy to reach when entering or exiting, but does not obstruct the ladder or tent access.
Consider the weather: on rainy days, position the bag under the tent's awning or overhang if possible to keep shoes drier.
How to Use the Oztent Apex Shoe Bag
- Attach the bag securely: Slide the bag's attachment onto the rail of your Apex Roof Top Tent. Make sure it clicks or fits firmly so it won't shift during the night. Check the attachment before climbing in; a loose bag can fall and damage your gear.
- Choose the best position: Position the bag on either side of the ladder or at the sides or rear of the tent, based on your entry path and weather conditions. Avoid placing it where rain can pool or where you might bump your head when exiting.
- Pack shoes with soles facing down: Place shoes in the bag with the soles facing down and the openings facing up. This keeps dirt contained and makes it easy to grab the right pair. Shake off loose dirt before placing shoes in the bag to keep it cleaner longer.
- Use the bag for wet or muddy shoes: If shoes are wet or muddy, place them in the bag immediately after removing them. The weather-resistant material will contain moisture and dirt. Air out the bag at your next stop to prevent mildew.
- Maintain the bag: Periodically wipe down the bag with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before storing. This extends its life and keeps it ready for the next trip. Store the bag in a dry place when not in use to prevent mold.
