Overlander Discover Max Roof Top Tent 2.1x2.1 M

Two metres by two metres is a difference you only notice from the inside: two people stop waking each other up every time someone turns over, and the overnight bag no longer sits on your legs. Discover Max is the widest variant in the series and it was designed around comfort rather than minimum weight.

A rigid ABS shell on a hydraulic strut means making camp takes moments, including when you arrive after dark. Inside there is a 55 mm mattress, and the glazed Sky Roof panel leaves you a view of the sky.

Key benefits

• 210 x 210 cm floor — a square footprint lets you lie across the tent and gives genuinely more space than the 160 cm variants.
• 55 mm high-density mattress — thicker than in the smaller Discover 2.0, which means better support on longer trips. The removable cotton cover can be washed when needed.
• Rigid ABS shell with hydraulic strut — fast opening and protection for the canopy while driving.
• 600D Oxford polyester canopy at 260 g — increased tear resistance with breathability retained.
• PU coating rated 2000 mm+ — effective in rain and in high humidity alike.
• PVC roof window (Sky Roof) — natural light by day, stars at night.
• Side windows with insect mesh — ventilation without mosquitoes and less condensation by morning.
• Folding aluminium alloy base — stiff, yet lighter than a steel equivalent.
• SBS zippers — large sliders specified for long, hard use.

Who it is for — couples and families travelling for more than a weekend who do not want to compromise on sleeping space. The square 210 x 210 cm floor and the 55 mm mattress put this tent closer to a bedroom than to emergency accommodation. The weight has to be planned for, though: 82 kg without the ladder calls for a strong rack and a check of your vehicle permitted roof load, both static and dynamic.

Fitting / notes

The tent mounts on crossbars or a roof rack of adequate capacity. At this weight, bar selection and roof load verification are critical, so talk to our workshop before buying if you are unsure how that looks on your vehicle. Closed height is 28 cm, which is worth remembering for garages and underground car parks.

Why it is worth it

• The largest sleeping area in the Discover series while keeping hardshell speed of deployment.
• The 55 mm mattress is a clear step up from the 30 mm in the 1.6 x 2.1 m variant, and on multi-day trips you feel that every morning.
• An aluminium base and ABS shell combine rigidity with a weight a typical expedition rack can carry.

If space and quick deployment are your priorities, Discover Max is the top choice in this series, and we can help verify that your roof will take it.
