Discovery 5 Roof Tent and Awning Package

Roof Tent and Awning Package for the Discovery 5: a hard shell roof tent and a side awning on a load rated roof rack.

These are the packages we would build for our own vehicles before a long trip: the parts that fail far from home, the protection that stops a rock ending the journey, and the equipment that makes living out of the vehicle possible. Each one lists its weight, because an expedition vehicle is usually overweight before it has left the country and payload is the thing people forget to check. The Discovery 5 is aluminium bodied and largely Ingenium powered, and it still runs air suspension and a two speed transfer box on most specifications.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 4 hours. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure. Any modification that changes ride height, tyre size, weight or appearance must be declared to your insurer before you drive the vehicle. Raised vehicles need the headlamp aim reset and a four wheel alignment, and the MOT tester will look at both.
