James Baroud

Discovery

Available sizes

Built on the concept of the shell opening, the James Baroud Discovery is the fastest of our models in terms of opening and closing. In its category, compared to other tents on the market, it has the best waterproofness and the best wind resistance.

The compact model in the line of roof top tents, it offers all the features of the larger models in a versatile and easy to manage size.

The tent opens in less than 15 seconds, through two hydraulic cylinders, mounted on bearings, actuating the articulated arms, that are protected by a canvas cover. It can be closed by only one person and in less than 1 minute. An incorporated elastic band around the canvas assure its inclusion inside the tent during the closing. 

It has 2 entrance doors and windows around the tent that increases air flow and provide a 180º view. Access to the tent is easily gained by using the folding ladder that comes standard with all James Baroud roof top tents and attaches to either side of the tent. For extreme conditions, ventilation can also be assisted by the solar-powered ventilation system.

The top streamlined hard shell is designed with a rear aileron. The hard shell locking is ensured by two tailor-made locks.
