There's a PDF under the maintenance section that tells you how to thread the tramp top. I think the rope is 1/8" nylon. I trailer my x22 with the trampolice top in place all the time, including 8 hours of hiway driving a few time a year with no problems. Just make sure the rope is tied secure before you leave as today (for the first time) the fabric came loose on the hiway. Didn't lose it, but I haven't checked the rope for the past few years. The tramp top is very secure and will not get ripped off like a collapsible Bimini top. I only take mine off when storing for the winter.
