** SOLD! **
OZTent RV-5 Overland/Touring Tent w/ALL the Extras. Excellent Condition: $1300.
Free delivery within 150 miles of Portland, Maine; further by arrangement.
Time to sell my OZTent RV-5 setup. I've only used it camping three times, haven't taken it along on recent long adventures, and have no plans to take it along next big adventure. I bought it to use both as a standalone and to attach to my trailer awning as extra housing for workshop participants and guests, but just don't need it now. I love this tent, and actually want to keep it for potential future needs, though need to shed excess gear. I'm cleaning out storage, so this and a bunch of other stuff is going up for sale.
OZTent RV-5 with added Peaked Side Panel Set (creates front room), Deluxe Front Panel (no-see-um mesh with door), Rain Fly, and Mesh Floor Saver
It is an amazingly well-constructed, roomy, and very comfortable tent. Designed and made in Australia for rugged outback conditions, and is super quick to put up and take down. Very cozy, feels very secure during big wind and rain, is flexible in arrangement options, and is made of waterproof 8oz Ripstop Polycotton Canvas.
Links, current prices, and features for pieces in this set:
RV-5 899.99 - Waterproof 8oz Ripstop Polycotton Canvas; attached awning; heat-sealed PVC "bathtub" floor (goes up sides); HD YKK zippers; no-see-um mesh windows and doors; 102" x 102" footprint.
Peaked Side Panel Set 279.99 - extends the main tent and creates a front room; attaches w built-in HD YKK zippers; very easy and simple to add.
Deluxe Front Panel 169.99 - closes in the front room with a wall of no-see-um mesh with incorporated zipped door.
OzTent Fly 119.00 - goes over the main room to shelter from both heat and rain. Has a reflective top. Makes a huge difference.
OzTent Mesh Floor Saver 89.99 - 181" x 102", allows water, sand and dirt to pass through but protects the tent's PVC floor and provides floor for front screen room.
Oztent Awning Connector 79.99 - this connects two OzTents together and incorporate a gutter/downspout tube to divert rainwater away. Not shown in these images.
2 OzTent Gecko Stretchers 179.98 - rugged, comfortable, and padded cots that come in their own rugged travel bag
Oztent Sidekick Table/Stool 29.99 - folding stool that doubles as footrest with hard flap that flips over to make small table
2 New Awning Poles 20.98 - for the Deluxe Front Panel awning (Oztent doesn't include them with the front panel).
6 New Guy Ropes with Clips 29.99 - I've used guy ropes from the tent extensively with my other gear, so am replacing with new to go with the sale.
Total New 1899.89
I'm going to let this go for $1300.00 and will deliver free within 150 miles of Portland, Maine - further by arrangement when I travel later this year.
DIMENSIONS RV-5 Main Tent (w/out front room):
Packed Size: 80"L x 15"W x 11"H
Set Up Size: 102"W x 102"D x 75"H
Awning Size (for main tent, that zips down over doors when wanted; front room has its own awning): 79"L x 102"W
Weight: 54lb / 24kg
RV-5 main tent, with front room added, mesh floor saver in place. Vents over door with covers rolled up.
Both cots and brown rug between them are included, and though the table shown is not included, an Oztent Sidekick (not shown here) is.
This tent is a dream to sleep and hang out in.
They planned out the air flow and ventilation really well.
The fly extends far enough back that even in a driving rain you can leave the big mesh window open as above.
- View from the main tent out through the front room, mesh floor saver in place, with awning reaching out past that.
- The awning zips down to the front mesh piece, and the side doors have covers that zip over, to close things up nice and snug for weather.
- I'm including extra poles for the front awning as they are not included when you buy the Front Deluxe Panel.
RV-5, peaked side set (one side door with cover zipped, one not; no front mesh or extended awning in this image), rain fly over main room and mesh floor saver under all.
Gives you an idea of size of the "front room," which is 79" x 102" - enough room for a couple more cots, or table and chairs, cook table, etc.
Also shows mud flap bottom of peaked side walls, to guide water away, not under.
Outside back of main room with window cover rolled up and rain fly in place.
Keeping air in between fly and tent allows the tent to stay cool in warm weather.
Along with the excellent cross-ventilation, it can be really pleasant in there on a hot day.
This also shows the convenient pockets for the storm lines, used for tethering in extreme weather.
RV-5 with mesh floor saver and rain fly in place, with no front room side or front walls.
RV-5 (102"x102" main tent floorprint) on mesh saver floor (102" x 181"), no front room side or front walls.
This view shows the bathtub floor better. Makes a big difference in keeping the inside dry.
No, these tent poles are not crooked; it's the wonky wide view of my cell camera that does that.
Side view, no rain fly, showing back wall window size and window cover rolled up.
The side panel windows can be zipped open and closed from inside.
Without the peaked side wall set, you can run the awning straight out, or peaked like this for the side walls.
Same view, rear window buttoned up for weather. You can see just the corner of the mesh floor saver under the near corner.
RV-5, mesh floor saver, no rain fly or side/front room walls, front door buttoned up for weather.
RV-5, mesh floor saver, no rain fly or front room side/front, awning rolled up, door buttoned up.
This shows the no-see-um mesh vents over the door. VERY handy in creating cross-ventilation.
Draws the warm air out under the awning, pulling it in from the big lower window in back.
Very effective, and thoughtful, design.
Back of RV-5, window cover down and zipped.
RV-5 and front room, no front wall, attached to my trailer awning.
Makes a really nice base camp for several people, with cooking under cover and housing attached right there.
Camping like royalty.
Somebody better grab this deal before I change my mind and keep it.
30 Second Setup vid:
or, if that doesn't work, check the video at OZTent for the "30 seconds setup."
Let me know if there are any questions of if I can provide any other info, images, or details.
This is also for sale locally, on other adventure forums, and on my site.
