RV-5

Oztent (rv5 is the one I’ve used). Good strong poles, lots of points to peg out from. If you set up the door facing away from the direction the wind is coming it copes best, but I’ve used it near the beach in super strong squally winds and it held up well.

I 2nd this I’m now transitioning I went from a family tent Blackwolf turbo tent 300 plus as the tent is too big Its a palace but as the kids are older and do their own thing we don’t take it out anymore We then downsized to a darche double swag Both of these are great for car camping but we hike and the last 20 years we’ve done day hikes everywhere we go with the above set up as a base camp and it’s taking me that long to figure out I actually need a hiking tent Both the swag and Blackwolf tents are big take up so much storage space and you need a 4x4 with a flat rack to throw on the roof because neither of them will fit in the boot and that’s the same for the highly recommended oztent rv5 And if I was to purchase this style tent between the oztent and the Blackwolf I’d still go the Blackwolf as I feel the design size style and space and setup is better The swag at 15kg is manageable to throw up there the Blackwolf is like 45kg of pure canvas they both about 1.8m height and about 0.5m wide when packed so storage is a problem I’m now looking at a hiking tent now I get more room than the swag and majority of tents like this pack down to a naglene 1l bottle or about that and weigh 2kg tops What type of areas you’re camping in and the season you intend to go out in most will determine the tent I feel the versatility durability and bomb proofness of the Mont Moondance is a good starting point you can get the mesh inner and then the full nylon inner only for winter separately Its also a traditional set up with poles that you would be used to and later on when more confident and want to learn knots can get a tension tent like the durston x-mid The sleep system is also very important and you will more than likely like the tent get one for summer and winter likewise for sleeping bags/quilts

For bivvy alton, outdoor research, sea to summit 1p tents there’s heaps of choice the beez neez atm is durston x-mid 1 (hiking pole tension tent)and x-dome 1 (semi freestanding and can use trekking poles to strengthen it up) and both these tents claim to be one of the lightest on the market Also not in your price range but is a lot of tent for a 1p is the Mont Moondance around $800 full price it’s more 1.5p lots of space inside for storage and pretty decent vestibule This tent has the highest water rating on the tub floor 25000 and is virtually bombproof It’s freestanding and around 1.5kg or minimum 1.3kg It’s a 3 season that can also change the inner from mesh to full nylon(fn) for colder conditions 4season sub-alpine and the fn can be purchased separately I prefer the freestanding atm I can get to site set up tent and if I don’t like the ground I can pick the tent up and move or change the orientation to suit it better it’s also easier to use on platforms The x-mid is quite large and need a bit of flat ground some thought needs to go in where you set up

I have and have used extensively the OzTent Rv5 with my wife and now 4yo. Set up right, it has been excellent in all seasons.

Piece of cake. I did buy an after market bag for it and now putting it away is also very easy. Mind you, it wasn't hard before.

Oztent RV-5. I ended up destroying one after many many years of lots of travel, and liked it that much I replaced it with another.

Have a look at oztent. I have an rv-3, but you might look at an rv-5

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.
