The document provides installation instructions for connecting a vestibule connector between two shelters. It involves aligning the shelters and connection points, installing the vestibule floor between the shelters and attaching them, installing the vestibule framework including eave bars and doors, and attaching the vestibule roof panel to create an enclosed vestibule between the two shelters.
2. a. Connection Points
1. Two types of connection points are located on each shelter
– Door Split Connections are the connection where the wall fabric
connects to the door
– Wall Split Connection is the connection where the wall fabric
connects to the opposite wall fabric (Blue Hook & Loop)

5. c. Alignment Continued…
1. Roughly align the shelters with a
