A pop-up tent for four, the Oztent Malamoo Mega is impressive to look at, and equally as impressive to see being packed away.
An “all-in-one” design enables you to pitch fly and inner together in seconds and then pack it up almost as quickly. The dual skin construction features a waterproof fly over a mesh inner with a set-back interior double door that creates an enclosed front vestibule.
Ventilation is provided by means of two side and one rear window, along with two closeable front vents, and the front door extends as an awning with the included poles. The Malamoo Mega is a roomy shelter for families on the move.
Which or what size is the floor saver you used in your "Oztent Malamoo Mega 4P Pop Up Tent - How to pack away" video?
G'day Chris,
The groundsheet we used in our Oztent Malamoo Mega 4P Pop Up Tent video is the Oztrail 8' x 12' Ultra Mesh Tarp.
What country is it made in and who invented it? What other colours does it come in? Thank you.
G'day Leone,
The Oztent Malamoo Mega 4P Pop Up tent was designed by an Australian company, Oztent. In terms of who invented it, we honestly don't know, sorry. The tent itself is currently being manufactured in China.
The tent itself is currently being manufactured, like many other popular tents, in China.
Hi there - just wondering if the vestibule poles are included when purchasing the tent? Also - with regards to weight - is the 8kg just the tent itself or the weight of the tent plus pegs (and possibly poles)? If all inclusive weight - how much does the actual tent main part weigh? thanks for your help.
G'day Emily,
I've just checked and yes the 2 telescopic awning poles are included with the Malamoo Mega.
I've taken the pegs and telescopic poles out of the bag and together they weigh 1.9kg (I couldn't take the tent out of the bag even if left packed down) so if you subtract that from the overall weight, the tent should weigh approximately 6kg on it's own.
Hi can I please confirm which Mega tent is the newer model? The one with the vestibule that opens to the side, or the one with the green awning? I was under the impression the one that roles to the side was, however a recent review indicates that's the new model. Also, the awning model - is the awning the only vestibule door or is there a fly screen that can be shut? Thanks in advance
Hey Mel,
I'm assuming you are referring to the 2014 model when you say a side opening door which is something we no longer stock. The models available on our website are the most recent.
In regards to the awning model, I assume you are relating to the Mega 4P which has a screen door as part of the inner of the tent which is set back from the fly as well as the vestibule door that can be used as an awning.
I hope that answers your questions. If you'd like to discuss this further, please give us a call and we'd be more than happy to help.
hi we bought this tent late last year. Is it possible to buy a replacement pole. one has snapped near the metal joiner
Howdy Paul,
I'm sorry to hear about your pole - the best thing to do is to give the store a call on 1300 914 007 and we can see what we can do to get you a replacement pole.
I will be a sole traveller and like the easy concept & ease of the Malamoo Mega. Just concerned that as a female, it may be too hard to pack up? Also considering the Coleman 4p, however the height of this tent could cause problems fitting the fly in even the slightest of wind conditions on my own. Any thoughts, suggestions appreciated.
G'day Janice,Â
The Malamoo 4P is a bit bigger than the other models, so it is going to be a little more awkward to pack it down with one person. That’s not to say it can’t be done, it will just take more effort so if you decide to go with this model we’d recommend practicing at home first.We’ve got a video you can watch here which shows you how it’s done which may be helpful for you.
As for the Coleman Instant Up 4P – for reference I am 5â€6’ and I have trouble fitting the fly over this tent, but the way around that is to put the roof section up first, lay the fly over and then extend the leg poles fully.
As for touring, both models are easy to set up which makes them suited to touring. The Malamoo is very lightweight, and it is a pop up tent so it requires minimal effort to set it up. The Instant Up is heavier than the Malamoo, but it will offer more durability due it’s thicker floor, steel frame, and higher waterhead rating – so it’d be a toss-up between weight and durability depending on what yo would prefer.Â
Lol is a game full of salt. And I'm wondering if I send it to one of them will it break
Not being a gamer myself Bogan I'm not sure what levels of salt you may be referring to, so I can't guarantee the survival of this tent in a high sodium chloride environment. It's well made and we sell the Malamoo Mega with confidence, however, everything has its limits. So while this tent would handle a sprinkling of salt similar to what you may expect early on in a game, a heavy dose akin to what may be thrown around by Guinsoo's Rageblade at a late stage of the game may render this tent broken and the warranty void. I hope this answers your question!
Is this tent made for all season or how many?
Can you fit a couple of fold out stretches side by side in this tent?
Hi, just checking it will fit in the car...is this 4 person pop up the same packed up size as the 3 person pop up? Thanks :)
Hi, I was looking through the pop up tent options and it looks like the Malamoo Mega 4P Pop Up tent would be fine with a Queen Size Euro bed. Just wanted to check if you have any other Pop Up tents that would also fit the Eurobed in it?
Hi, looking at various images of this tent, we're seeing some that have the front door opening to the side (& then rolled up to the side) & others that open up to the top to become a front awning. Could you please clarify this as we'd like one that opens to a front fly. Also is there a side window on both sides? (We've used the 2 & 3 man ones for a few years & love them :) ) Thanks
Thanks for the prompt response Ben. Greatly appreciated. For instance, If the product needs to be repaired or replaced then do I bear the charges for sending it back to your store or is there a local store that can fix it ?
Does this require a roof rack or will it sit comfortably in a boot of Nissan Pulsar 2013. The reviews said when it is folded it is as big as the Malamoo Xtra. Is it true ?
Hi, I am from Melbourne. Do i need to contact you guys for any warranty related issues or do I have a local option in Melbourne ? Regards, Santosh.
does it have an option to just zip up the fly sheet and leave the main door open if it's a warm dry night?
And what warranty comes with this tent as I have heard of split seams after 18months? thanks
Not comfortably. YOu get a queen sized mattress in it - and just enough room to stack a couple of small bags down each side . You could fit - but you wouldnt roll over lol.
My wife & I want a good tourer tent, mainly for traveling up NW. We like idea of quick erection set-up & down at end of busy touring days. We like vestibule area and awning in the Malamoo Xtra and Mega for wet days, or would a Speedy or Sahara be better? I am 171cm tall and my small Filipina wife Vangie only 157cm. We have a Coleman Quickbed Double Single High Airbed. Wld that be suitable and fit in these tents, or is Oztrail Leisure Double 4wd Mat better? Also, what lighting would work best?
