Your questions

Before your next getaway.

Ask our team about your setup
How many people can sleep in it?

The Discovery 4FEV has a maximum sleeping capacity of 8. Check your mattress widths against the floorplan and allow room for bags and access. Using all available floor space for beds reduces shared living space.

Is the sleeping area blackout?

Yes. The sleeping area uses blackout fabric to reduce incoming light. Close the bedroom doors for the darkest sleeping space; vestibules and living areas do not provide the same blackout enclosure.

Is this an inflatable or instant-up tent?

This is a pole-frame dome tent. Follow the colour-coded pole system and the instructions sewn into the carry bag. It does not require an inflation pump.

Are awning poles included?

Awning poles are optional accessories sold separately. The structural tent poles are included.

What is the waterproof rating?

The fly has a 5,000 mm waterproof rating. Correct pitching, fly tension and secured guylines remain essential. Keep ventilation points open as directed to help manage condensation.

Is a footprint included?

The tent has its own floor. The matching protective footprint is an optional accessory sold separately.

How big is it when packed?

Packed dimensions are 68 × 28 × 28 cm and the listed packed weight is 15 kg.

Great Family Tent

We purchased the Discovery 4FEV Blackout tent in the Labour Day sale last year and used it for the first time over the Kirihimete/ NY break. We were super impressed — it comfortably fit our family of four (two adults and two primary-aged kids). The larger room worked well for sleeping, with the smaller entryway used as a living space.

The quality is excellent, with great airflow thanks to the large windows. The high roof makes it easy to stand and move around, and the blackout feature is a real game changer. It was also easy to set up. An ideal tent for families with younger kids, while those with teens may want their own space. We’re very happy customers and have just purchased the outdoor shelter to go with it!

We love our new tent!

The 4FEV was a great size for our family of 3 + dog and the blackout feature was nice for getting our toddler to bed before dark and sleeping in on lazy summer mornings.

Best tent ever

Purchased this tent and went camping over in the West Coast. Simple to erect and pack up. Plenty of room. Great design. No concerns during wet weather. I would highly recommend this tent.
