Hi, Does this tent have a privacy zip up door between the two areas or is it just a mozzie screen? Thank you
G'day Leida,
I've just double-checked with empire and the door between the bedroom and enclose vestibule is a dual-layer door, so there is mesh and solid nylon, so there are options for privacy and options for ventilation.
Is it possible for one person to set this tent up or does it require a couple of people?
G'day Leah,
Great question! You can set any tent up with just one person, it just depends how much patience you've got and how much time you're willing to put into it. Obviously having an extra pair of hands is helpful and will reduce overall set up time, but the short answer is yes, the Zempire Neo 6 Dome Tent can be set up with one person.
I can see that the max height is 185cm which would be at the highest point of the tent in the bedroom but the vestibule looks a lot lower so I'm keen to make sure I'd still be able to stand.
G'day Leah,
Unfortunately, the heigh inside the front vestibule isn't a specification Zempire supply. We don't currently have a display model, otherwise, we'd measure it for you. Our best estimate is that the front and is approximately 20cm lower than the rear of the tent, so while you might be able to stand up in it, you might find it's a little low to comfortably stay standing.
Hello I am considering this tent but notice many of the reviews / questions are dated from more than a year ago. Keen to know how well this brand and tent in particular have performed over the past few years. Of particular interest is performance in wind but overall assessment of quality of build would be great - say, versus a Coleman. Also, is there a new model due soon at all?
G'day Daniel,
The Zempire Neo 6 has been a popular model for a few years, we currently have one of the 4 person tents up in our store here and they are definitely a good design and good quality tent. In terms of wind, it's always hard to say how tents will perform in wind. We're pretty confident it will perform well in most Australian conditions. As far as we're away Zempire doesn't have plans for a new version at this stage.
wanting to know what is the maximum weight the lantern hook can hold
G'day Collin,
Zempire haven't tested for an official weight limit on the lantern hook on the Zempire Neo 6 Dome Tent but we would suggest that if you keep your lantern to less than 500g, then you shouldn't have too many issues with it damaging your tent.
Is the door between the sleeping area & the vestibule made of mesh?
G'day Martin,
All doors of the inner Neo 6 tent are made from mesh.
I'm a bit confused by all the different height info - What do the 3 different heights mean and relate to? Can you tell me the height in the main tent. Specifications say 185 internally, diagram says 190 external, why the difference? Thanks!
G'day Cindy,
The standing height in the main section of the Zempire Neo 6 is 185cm. We've allowed a 5cm difference to accommodate the space between the inner tent and outer fly.
On the first diagram (which Zempire provides), the heights listed there are for the relevant sections as indicated from an external perspective.
Hi, Can the front door be extended as an awning.
That's a really good question David! We don't have one up in store at the moment so we will confirm the details with Zempire on Monday for you.
(Generally if its designed to be an awning it will include brass eyelets through which you can secure the poles however you could probably use the bungy loops but they wouldn't be as stable. For this reason we'd like to check that it has been designed to complete this function to ensure its strong enough and won't cause any problems.)
G'day David,
I've just had a chat with Zempire on the phone, and they've said that just the front door on the vestibule of the Neo 6 can be pegged out as an awning.
Hi, I am planing to jenolan caravanpark in May.I have two little kids, I prefer two rooms. And also like to easy setup.I m wondering between the Coleman Gold Instant up 6P and Neo 6, which would you recommend?
Hi Gary,
Both these tents are good quality however as the Neo range uses a traditional pole system which is simple and relatively fast to set up, its not as quick as the instant up range. Having said that, the Instant up 6 has only one room whereas you can have basically the same tent with two rooms by considering the larger Instant up Gold 8P. This tent then seems to fit your needs best in that it's fast to put up, has two rooms to give you some space for the family and still has all the features and waterproofing you had considered with the 6P & Neo.
If you'd like to discuss this further, please give us a call.
Please confirm that the main rear room does not have an external door.
G'day Richard,
There is no mention of a rear door in the information provided by Zempire, so it would appear that there are only doors on the vestibule of the Neo 6.
I like the design, but also think a canopy will be good t have. Does the Neo6 has any canopy?
G’day Dion, the Zempire Neo 6 definitely has a canopy – but it’s more commonly known as a fly. In the pictures it a little bit hard to tell, but the grey and blue material on top of the tent is the fly. In most of the images the doors and windows are rolled up – but these openings can be fully zipped up to form a complete cover on the tent.
Hi Sofia, I’ve had a read through the feedback from other customers who have used the Neo range – and they've said it was fairly easy to use and took them around 20 minutes for this style of tent (on their first go). This tent is perhaps a little more complicated than something like the Instant Up range - as the Neo 6 requires you to assemble the poles, thread them through the sleeves, peg out the peg points, and then attach the fly. I’ve attached the pitching instructions under the product description, so hopefully you can get a more detailed look at how it all comes together.
Hello, Are you able to hang a light in either the vestibule, main cabin or both? Is there a spot to threat power cord anywhere into the tent? Thanks
We are a family of four (kids aged 4 and 6) experienced campers looking for a simple, but very good quality tent with a vestibule that will work in summer and rain. Which option would you recommend of these two? Or another one? Thanks
