How to Install a Tillbehörskoppling 5 Comfort Light on Your Tentipi

Quick answer

Mount the Tillbehörskoppling 5 Comfort Light above your Tentipi's door using the integrated attachment pocket—no tools required. This guide walks you through each step and highlights common mistakes.

Installation steps

1. 1. Locate the attachment point: Find the integrated attachment pocket above the door of your Tentipi. If your tipi does not have this pocket (e.g., older models or Onyx), use the separate Tillbehörskoppling 5 Comfort Light as a standalone bracket. Check your tent model first: the pocket is standard on Safir and Zirkon sizes 5–9 made after 2012.
2. 2. Position the coupling: Slide the coupling into the attachment pocket so that the metal loop faces outward and upward. The loop should be centered above the door opening. Common mistake: inserting the coupling backward. The loop must point away from the tent fabric to avoid chafing.
3. 3. Secure the coupling: Press the coupling firmly into the pocket until it clicks or feels locked. No tools are needed—the fit is snug by design. If it feels loose, double-check that you are using the correct side. Do not force it; excessive pressure can tear the pocket.
4. 4. Attach your accessory: Clip your tarp, gear hanger, or other accessory to the metal loop using a carabiner or included hardware. Ensure the load is balanced and does not exceed the coupling's weight limit (check your product manual). Never hang heavy gear that swings freely—wind can cause the coupling to twist and stress the attachment point.
5. 5. Test for stability: Gently pull on the accessory to verify the coupling holds firm. If you notice any movement, reposition the coupling or adjust the accessory's attachment angle. A stable setup now prevents damage later. Re-test after strong wind or rain.

Product fact

• Tillbehörskoppling 5 Comfort light: The Tillbehörskoppling 5 Comfort Light is a separate accessory coupling for Tentipi models that do not have the integrated attachment pocket. It works with older Safir/Zirkon models, Onyx tipis, and size 15 tents. If your Tentipi lacks the built-in pocket, this coupling is the only way to safely hang a tarp or other accessory above the door without modifying the tent.
