Good Tent

published

Complete heap of rubbish.

published

Complete heap of rubbish.
Cheap plastic hinges - one was cracked when it arrived so wasn't able to properly erect it and no spare parts stocked in the distributors. Really awkward to erect without over straining the plastic fittings and breaking more of them and pretty well impossible to store neatly back into the bag.

RV5 versus 9CV XL

Loved loved this tent

published

We used our rv5 to take to Birdsville we loved loved it. We are normally not tent people. Set up was soo easy. Had all wheather conditions as we travelled to flinders ranges rain Gail force winds and sun !! We had a fly on it!! Loved it !!!used side walls and front panel sometimes

Travelled for 4 months in it. Tried and true.

My partner and I took a 30 second oz tent around Australia. Lived in it for 4 months and have camped regularly in this tent for the last 5 years. It has bever missed a beat and is easy and strong. A great option you can add to as your family gets bigger too.

Very strict on warranty. The Oz tent did not withstand windy conditions. Major FAIL

I love my OzTent

published

I have the rv2 with all the accessories. I am so happy with this tent, it's strong and well made. It goes up easily, the side panels not so easy but worth the effort to get the extra room. I'm 5" 10" and I can stand up in it.
If I had to moan it would be about the weight and the length, but a tent without poles that goes up so quickly something has to give and it fits into my little van so I'm happy.
highly recommend.

Waterproof? Water absorbent!

Not happy with warranty

published

Apparently after we were given an rv5 as a gift the warranty does not apply as we did not purchase it.??

Great little Challet!

published

We purchased this from Rays recently with one of there sales, saved a lot and got the 10% store credit. I have set up with the floor saver and just the tent so far. For two of us this is more than big enough with a queen size mattress there is still plenty of room for bags and things inside. Sets up in about 5 minutes with the actual tent going up in around 20 seconds! It is quite long when packed up but if you use roof racks it is easy. We also purchased the extras, rain fly, front panel and peaked side panels. This set-up is quite expensive, but worth it for the quality, ease of set-up, and options. I will get it all setup next time I camp.
Easy to set up, good quality materials.

Great kit

published

We have the RV5 with all the extras. Super fast setup and pack up. Top Quality.
These are a long tent so may need to travel on the roof of the vehicle.
Setup really is 60seconds and you dont need to peg it out unless windy weather is on the way.
Highly recommended.
Quality. Fast set up.

Has anyone ever had a problem with one of the zippers with the oztent? One of our zippers (ex-5) does not close anymore, and we have no warranty. Any ideas/experience how to repair? Oztent Company wasn’t helpful at all, they never answered

Plenty of caravan or canvas places can do this repair.

Drifta or Southern Cross Canvas can help.

No - I've never had a issue. All depends on where you live, but there are OZTent agents all over Aust. But won't be hard to fix & I'd guess not a lot of $$...

Does the RV 5 tagalong fit a 2.5 Rino awing

The RV5 is 2.6 metres wide, so it will have 50mm overlap each side

Two adults and 3 kids is no problem. It is 2.6 metres wide.

I have not, but you could - but it would be a bit tight. A mix of 2 adults / 3 children would fit better.

We fit 2 adults and 2 kids 11+ 17 and our dog but it is tight. OK for one night here n there with all of us, very comfortable for 2 adults and a smaller child.
We just made sure our mattresses fit 2x 130 CM dune deluxe double self inflating mattresses as the tent is 260cm across.
We are in the process of Purchasing the kids another RV5 to connect together by the awnings or let them set up them self side by side.
We were going to get the tag along tent but after reading other families reviews decided we may as well get the second RV5 as it can be set up alone for the kids who are growing up to use as they get older and want to take it for trips with friends etc.. On their own and is alot stronger weather proof etc... Then the tag along. We figured its still alot less than a camper trailer set up and allows for many different set ups and options and no towing a camper. Looking back We'd probably get 2 x RV 3's or 4 as that's all you need for a couple in each one but are very happy with our RV5 and as they are expensive and pack up storage is long whichever model you choose, may as well get the RV 5 and have the bit extra room.
