Your questions

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

The Discovery 4V has a maximum sleeping capacity of 4. 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 66 × 35 × 20 cm and the listed packed weight is 9.8 kg.

Highly Recommend

I wanted a simple tent with standing room and enough space for 3 people to fit comfortably.

The water rating and set up for this tent a great. The black outs make a huge difference for sleep. Easy to vent for fresh air. Happy with my purchase.

Great tent

Great tent. Walk in. Plenty of vents and roomy. Good for two people on air mattress with room for gear. I motorcycle camped with this tent so it's easily carried. The tent pegs could be stronger imo. But highly recommend.

Happy with my purchase!

We used this tent for the first time on our first camping trip to Coromandel and were very happy with the quality. We experienced heavy rain in the middle of the night, and luckily there were no leaks inside the tent. Definitely recommend this product!

Great tent

Upgraded from a Coleman black out tent. This tent seems to handle the wind better in Lower Hutt. Kids have been camping out in the back yard for over a week. Handled heavy rain with no leaks.

Great tent!

I did my research and wanted something easy to put up by myself and tall enough to stand in as over 50 now, and don’t want to be crawling into a tent…. Also had a small budget.

Love the way you can get ventilation on all 4 sides and entrances both rear and out the front, with an awning (I used poles and guy tops from previous old tents). And it had a ground sheet extension out the front to, which was handy!

I did have a few heavy duty pegs for the main corners - plus the hand ‘peg’ puller to get them back out again :)
