Product description
The FOLD 4 roof tent by OFFLANDER is the fourth generation of a tent model proven on the market by users. Loved mainly by families with children or those who like a lot of space in the tent. FOLD 4 is durability, quick assembly and comfortable rest for up to 4 people.
The fourth generation of the FOLD 4 is based on the proven folding design and durable materials. The system of locks and buckles has been improved, the design of the ABS casing. We have added graphics inside the tent, an LED lighting strip, a new bag for accessories and shoes. We have changed the mattress and its cover. We have added a strip for accessories, Velcro on the flysheet... and a few other small details.
Find a place with a wonderful view and watch it in the morning from the window of the tent on the roof of the car, holding a cup of hot coffee in your hand. Does it sound tempting? We are sure it does! Do you feel like a solo trip out of town? Nothing could be easier. Grab the most necessary things and set off to conquer the wilderness. The only limit is your imagination.
Comfort for 4 people
Inside there is a 205 x 205 cm mattress made of Memory Foam with a thickness of 5 cm. This is sufficient thickness and surface area to provide comfortable sleep and rest for up to four people. Lying on it, you can admire the stars at night. The roof window, depending on your preferences and the outside temperature, can be completely closed, opened or covered only with a net that will protect you from unwanted insects on summer evenings. On hot days, you can completely pull down the upper flysheet at your discretion.
There is an anti-condensation mat under the mattress. This is a special layer that is designed to limit the condensation of water vapour. During the use of the tent, especially when the outside temperature is lower and the inside is warmer, moisture in the form of water vapour begins to condense on cold surfaces, including the roof tent material. This can lead to the formation of moisture, mould and fungi, which in turn can negatively affect the condition of the tent and the comfort of use.
The anti-condensation mat works on the principle of a breathable membrane. This layer has small porous holes that allow water vapor to pass through while stopping water droplets.
TIP: In case of condensation, it is recommended to wipe the accumulated water with a dry cloth. The thickness of the mattress is limited by the construction of the tent, if it is too thin, we recommend additional inflating mats or mattress toppers. Remember, however, that you will have to take them out every time you pack the tent.
If you need a smaller tent and like this model, check out the FOLD 2. It only differs in dimensions and weight.
Inside the tent
FOLD 4 generation 4 [from 2023] is also a new upholstery with a nice material with a mountain graphic. It may be a small thing but it makes staying in the tent very pleasant. We also changed the mattress to Memory Foam technology in a new cover made of slippery material. It is easier to keep clean, just a wet cloth to wipe mud stains.
FOLD series tents appear larger than they actually are thanks to the extra space provided by the unique design of the fold-out floor, covered entrance and four large window openings.
There is enough space in the tent that you can easily change for bed. On cold days, it is also a good idea to store your shoes inside. A specially designed bag closes tightly with Velcro, so you can safely throw wet shoes into it.
We have also included permanent LED lighting with adjustable light intensity in the tent. Simply connect a 5V power source via USB.
Speed of unfolding
Most people traveling with roof tents, when they arrive at the campsite, immediately start setting up the tent. They are tired from the journey, it takes a long time and requires a lot of energy, sometimes it is already dark and there are other duties that require attention.
The roof tent takes 1 minute to set up. Get out of the car and start camping in 60 seconds. The FOLD 4 shell unfolds automatically using a hydraulic lever. No more complicated struggles after a long drive. The lack of a hammer or too short pegs will no longer stress you out. With the FOLD 4 tent, you can prepare a camp in a picturesque place in no time.
TIP: Remember to secure the ladder well before use. The ladder is a support for the unfolded floor, and a properly unfolded floor is a mechanism that tensions the material and the tent flysheet. If the ladder is on uneven ground, it may be damaged. Make sure to secure it well, if it moves away, block it with a stone or drive a peg into it. Dig a hole or lengthen a stone, board or simply move the car to a new place.
Lightweight and aerodynamic design
FOLD 4 looks great on a car. It is probably the only tent on the market that is only 120cm wide when folded; which means that for 99% of cars it will not protrude beyond the outline of the car. It is not only aesthetics but also aerodynamics. The height of the folded tent is only 25cm. Thanks to this, regardless of whether you plan to place it on a Pick-up, SUV, Van or passenger car, its shape will not hinder your driving.
The tent cover is made of plastic and durable ABS. This means that it is resistant to mechanical damage. A blow from a branch or a tree in the field is no obstacle. The cover bends slightly and takes the impact without breaking.
The tent is designed to be placed on two roof bars. Simply mount it to them using the included brackets. Before mounting, also make sure that the dynamic load capacity of your car roof and beams is 75 kg or more. The tent shell may deform under the influence of temperature, and this is completely normal.
TIP: Putting up a tent on taller vehicles can take more practice, and roof platforms can be a challenge. But that's just a matter of practice.
We recommend that you first fold the mattress in the part of the folding floor. This will show you where the tent will fold and how much space you have for additional things in the tent. Lay everything flat to the height of the mattress in a free space by the wall. Remove the roof locks, actuators, and roof tension rods. Leave the windows open, air will escape from the tent faster when sneaking. Fold the first part of the tent, i.e. the floor with the ladder. Make sure that the material on the corners does not stop the tent floor from being fully folded. If so, slightly lift the floor and pull out some material. Fasten the auxiliary strap, it will help keep the side material in order when folding the shell. Close the shell, use the middle zipper. Push the flysheet material on the left and right sides of the tent. Close the remaining zippers alternately until fully closed.
Ventilation and waterproof
The tent is made of durable RIP-STOP fabric with a density of 280G and a water resistance of 2000 mm. The material will easily withstand several hours of heavy rain. Such fabric parameters guarantee that it will be waterproof, resistant to mold and mechanical damage, and will also provide you with proper ventilation and access to fresh air inside.
The RIP-STOP technique means that a stronger fiber thread has been added at regular intervals. This improvement additionally prevents the material from tearing. The zippers at the window openings have also been secured so that water does not get inside. You can turn the window closure into a canopy. It will provide protection against rain and excessive sun. You no longer have to close the windows during unfavorable weather. Additionally, open windows will provide you with constant ventilation and access to fresh air, and the mosquito nets placed in them protect against insects.
TIP: To avoid excessive condensation in the tent, leave at least small gaps in the window openings so that water vapor can escape. If it's cold outside, it won't really help to close the tent tightly, it will still be cold. We recommend warm sleeping bags, thermal underwear or a parking heater.
Tropic
The external flysheet creates a canopy over the entrance. It provides protection from rain and excessive sun. You no longer have to close all the windows during bad weather. The light colors reflect the sun.
The flysheet is made of Oxford 420D fabric and PU waterproofness of 2000-3000 mm. This material is characterized primarily by high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. Oxford 420D is made of nylon or polyester, which is impregnated with a PU coating (polyurethane), which makes it waterproof and protects against moisture. The fabric is also characterized by a good appearance. This material is easy to clean and maintain, so keeping it in good condition is not a problem.
TIP: We recommend waterproofing your flysheet before each camping season. A standard waterproofing agent available at most tent stores will suffice.
You can roll the flysheet up towards the tent shell on warm days. This will allow the roof window to open completely and the tent to be more airy.
Extras
For your comfort and space, the tent comes with a large bag in which you can store your shoes or other necessary items. Inside the tent, in its upper part, there is an LED strip, which you can turn on by connecting a Power Bank with USB. It allows you to illuminate the interior and makes it easier to move around in it after sunset. The LED strip uses very little energy, so you don't have to worry about it suddenly going out unexpectedly.
The tent also comes with a foldable aluminum ladder. It is permanently attached to the tent floor and hides in the cover when folded. The ladder has two locking steps that make it easier to level the tent floor on uneven terrain.
If you want, you can buy a lower annex or a roof for the tent. The vestibule will not only make it easier for you to store accessories needed during the camping, but it will also provide more privacy. The roof, in turn, can serve as an additional place to rest in the shade or protection from the rain.
