Vehicle make/model/year and roof/bed/rack configuration
RIGVAR + ROKVAN · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Treat rooftop tents, awnings, annexes, rear/shower tents, water storage, lighting and touring accessories as a vehicle-fitment system with load, mounting, wind, packed/deployed geometry and travel-service considerations.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
Dynamic/static roof or rack load information
Product family and occupancy/use case
Packed/deployed dimensions and access
Mounting bar spacing / interfaces
Wind/rain/travel environment
Water storage / electrical / lighting requirements
Freight, replacement parts and travel-service strategy
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact product weight and dimensions
Mounting/bracket compatibility
Vehicle/rack load limits from responsible vehicle/rack source
Fabric/waterproofing/weather data where relevant
Electrical/lighting component evidence
Water-contact material data where applicable
Warranty/spares/replacement fabric/hardware
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle / overland concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
Vehicle interface
Product weight/load
Mounting/brackets
Packed/deployed envelope
Weather/wind use
Water/electrical/accessories
Travel storage/handling
Warranty/spares
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
Vehicle schedule
Rack/load information
Product quantity
Mounting interface
Use/environment
Water/electrical needs
Packing/freight
Evidence/warranty
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
Mounting/fastener check
Fabric drying/cleaning
Hinge/strut/zipper service
Awning/tent wind procedure
Water-system hygiene
Lighting/electrical check
Travel damage inspection
Spare hardware/fabric repair kit
DOWNLOADABLE PROJECT RESOURCE
Carry the authority pack into the project file.
Export the current project-control structure, then replace planning statements with exact project/system information as the design develops.
