Thread: Which tent to buy?

OZ TENT

easy to set up and take down sits on roof rack...a bit long maybe but a 110 can handle it... We have had one for years ...has done heaps of trips..Cape York...High Country...Tassie...We still have but we don't it use ATM because as we now have a camper...but will use it again if need be


I am sure you have seen it on one of the vids or photos of my disco?

For all it's worth , myself after seeing how quick a 30sec Oztent (oztent.com.au) was to set up, this is the one we are going to get.
We will be getting the biggest one, Oztent RV-5 at $1099.00 well I hope to get it a bit cheaper as a mate of mine works in a camping store.
Looked and looked and was getting to confusing, you can go cheaper but what the heck how many times have we driven and driven till it's dark and then try to set up a 6 man dome tent in the spotlight.

weve got what I recall to be an oztrail we picked up from Kmarts clearance trolly becuase it was missing the poles for the annex all up including 2 poles from the camping section $200ish... 2 sections made to sleep 6 total but if you got cosy and left the gear in the car would easily take 8. I can set it up in about 30 minutes while connie plays with alex.

Second best tent Ive ever owned.

the frist was a single person throw tent that set up as fast as I could unzip it.

good choice ....we have had ours for years...1 person can set up while the others gets dinner ready...drinks ..and everything else...takes 1 person to take down and put on the roof racks.....EASY....

That OzTent's a bit on the long size when packed up - 2m!

as said,the oztent is a fantastic tent.Friends of ours have had one for years..they put it on the trailer behind the harley.

I havent got one as they are to long to fit in the disco,& i dont have a rack.
i have got an Ezy up,which is a throw up type tent...extremely quick to put up& pack up.also packs up real small.it has been good.it is a 5 person & sleeps 4 & gear easy.

Would put my vote in for the Oztent. We have one and its so easy to use. And you can add to it and take different bits depending on the type of trip your on.

yeh OK long ...........thats what a roof rack is for.....
ho har can take it off the roof and have it set up while I am getting dinner cooked ............the longest is setting up sleeping requirements .....mattresses and sleeping bags etc ...other than that..... no probs by 1 person

consider it
