Coody Proves Its Strength at Melbourne Caravan & Camping Leisurefest 2025
Real Weather. Real Tents. Real Camping Proof.
From 18 to 21 September 2025, the Caravan & Camping Leisurefest in Melbourne once again brought together thousands of caravan and camping enthusiasts in a celebration of the great outdoors.
But this year, it wasn’t just the gear that was put to the test — nature itself created the ultimate proving ground.
Violent storms rolled through the showgrounds, delivering winds over 70km/h and heavy downpours that mimicked real outdoor camping conditions. For Coody, this was the perfect opportunity.
While many displays struggled against the wind, Coody’s air tents stood their ground. Even as rain pelted down, the interiors stayed completely dry — and before long, the Coody tent became a natural shelter for visitors escaping the elements.
It wasn’t just a product showcase — it became a lived experience.
Nature-Tested, Proven Performance
At Coody, our tents aren’t made for showroom floors — they’re built for the real outdoors.
And this year, Mother Nature herself validated that vision.
Even under winds reaching 88km/h and rainfall of 99mm per hour, our tents stood strong and stayed bone dry.
💬 Real customer comments:
“The rain ruined the show for me, but I was able to see the waterproof performance of this tent for myself — that really helped me make my decision.”
“The ground was all asphalt, so I thought it’d be hard to keep the tent down — but even in this wind, it held up incredibly well.”
The sense of surprise and admiration continued all weekend.
Because when you can show something in real time, you don’t have to explain it.
Products That Stole the Spotlight
🏕 10.0 Air Shelter – The new multi-use innovation
Unveiled for the first time at this show, the 10.0 Air Shelter drew plenty of attention. With a removable floor, it easily transformed into a living area, an outdoor kitchen, a shaded shelter, or even an annex that connects to a car.
Despite its compact size, it proved incredibly durable.
Caravan owners especially loved how all parts pack neatly into a single carry bag.
🚐 8.0 Air Tent – The perfect match for caravans and trailers
Back by popular demand after selling out at our August expo, the 8.0 Air Tent quickly became a hot topic again. For caravan and trailer owners always searching for more space, this model stood out.
It’s lightweight, quick to pitch, and structurally solid — offering a cosy, weatherproof extension that’s as comfortable as your indoor space, whatever the Aussie weather throws your way.
💬 Real customer comment:
“I’m planning to retrofit my camper, and space has been a huge problem — this tent solves it perfectly.”
The ‘True Outdoor Gear’ We Set Out to Build
What set Coody apart at this event wasn’t just “high quality” — it was the trust earned from performing in truly extreme conditions.
-
✔ Our TC fabric blocked out rain completely, while maintaining breathability and comfort inside.
✔ The thick air beams flexed with the wind, delivering unmatched stability.
✔ Even in typhoon-like conditions, the inside of every tent remained dry and calm.
Visitors didn’t just admire the design — they could physically feel the difference compared to other inflatable tents.
What Our Customers Told Us
“I’ve used a few air tents before, but this one has much thicker and sturdier beams. You can tell just by touch.”
“I’m 70 years old and I reckon I could still use this on my own — it’s an absolute game-changer.”
“I just walked past because of how impressive the exterior looked, but the inside’s nicer than my bedroom!” 😄
