Oztent - RV-5 Plus

Love my current setup, it's an OzTent RV5 Plus with all the panels for the awning. It's big and heavy (30kg with all poles and pegs, 2m long), but i can literally have the base tent setup by myself in one minute. Full setup is probably 20 minutes pegged out with all the panels. It goes on roof racks so size isn't a real issue, and I end up with a big space that's protected from bugs and the weather, and when it's cold I can run a pot belly stove right under the awning

Currently in my RV5 Plus for the last night of a 6 night trip, once again it held up well during storms and the constant winds in this place (Yorke Peninsula)

RV5 plus here, well worth the cost and having to get a 30kg 2m long bag on your roof. There are plenty of spares available of something does break, pretty sure you can buy everything except the actual canvas. I looked into air and instant up tents and they just don't compare, and I love being able to steal off the awning from bugs using the wall kits.

Maybe similar setup times, but the options on the full awning of the Oztent are very handy.

They're not much different when packed.

Similar here! It looks like we’re stocking an outdoors store haha - we’ve got the rv5 (the one with the skyzone - such a great way to get more airflow!), 2 small hiking tents one better than the other) and swags - pick and choose based on the trip!

I gave in to the “just a couple of hundred more for the plus version with the skylight” thing and have no regrets. It’s heavy but I only have to lift one end at a time to get it on the roof. I’m not sure I would have loved any other tent.

I’ve got a pronto 5 and an oztent RV5. Both very similar setup times but the pronto has more usable space. Had the pronto for 2-3 years I think no issues yet.

I generally take the pronto as it takes less room, and has more usable space. The RV5 is 2 meters long packed up so needs to go on the roof racks. I think in the rain I prefer the oztent though as the awning is much better. Pronto awning is woefully inadequate. The reason I have 2 is I have 2 4wd’s. I’ve got a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Suzuki sierra soft top. The soft top can’t carry anything on the roof so I decided to get another tent that I can carry inside. But even when I take the Toyota I tend to take the pronto.

I have a oztent rv5, but you can get smaller ones...... so easy to set up n when travelling across from east coast to west coast, I didn't bother pegging it down for overnight stays. Plenty of ventilation n just good quality, mine is 17 years old n still in great condition

We now have an oz tent rv5 with goodies but honestly, most cheaper tents will see you through if you arent camping that much. If you end up camping more, keep an eye on marketplace for a 2nd hand RV3 or 4. Plenty of them on there We have swags, small cheap tent and the Oz tent depending on the trip

My Oztent Rv5 fits a mega mat duo and a bunk for the kids fairly well. By itself you’d have plenty of space

We have a kings big daddy. We decided on our last trip we’re going to buy an oz tent rv5 because we wanted the extra room/comfort. They take up a bit more room than a lightweight tent, but they’re quick and easy to set up. I’ll keep the swag for solo trips but damn that thing just takes up so much room.

From vehicle to beer - 1 person, 5 min. 4 pegs at minimum. 2 people and it’s even easier. About the same time to pack up My adhd brain hates all the faffing about and multiple steps of a tent. The rv series makes it so much better

Canvas tent will last u a lifetime, quick easy setup is a necessity. Oztent is my pick but expensive
