If anyone is in the market for a new tent, BCF have dropped the price of the OZTENT RV-5 from $1699 to $999 (Save $700 / 40%).

Anaconda have also price matched, however need to be a club member. https://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/tents/camping-…

Very rarely do these tents go on sale at such a saving, Tentworld are usually market leaders on price, however seems the bigger retailers have blitzed their sale price. Absolutely amazing price for such a great tent.

          Hi Huey, I know you probably won't understand this, but you do know China is light years ahead of Australia?. Mean while shity rail and the Cumberland Highway in front my my house, has been a working process for the last 20 year's, literally. not to mention the joke Holden was in manufacturing. Don't knock a country when greedy companies cut cost to profit.. Been to china 15 years ago and was shocked how advanced they were even when compared to Japan.

    Good tent. Definitely worth the money if tent camping is your thing. Need to sell mine now that I have a caravan.

    • slimdealin on 10/01/2023 - 08:50

      Alternatively, you could buy the attachment from oztent to attach it to your awning if it has a sailtrack and use it as a spare room rather than set a poxy annexe up

      • wombat81 on 10/01/2023 - 13:18

        Yeah we have the caravan connector already since we used to attach the oztent to the 4wd awning. But don't have any need for an annexe currently.

      My partner and I lived in this tent for 5 months while touring Australia about 7 years ago. It was great and when I got back to Melbourne I did consider continuing to live in it while returning to full time work so I could save for a house. You definitely could.

      For anyone interested, these are fantastic tents and oztent service is top notch too (they've sent me out spare canvas for free two times to patch damage I had done to the tent…no hassles at all). They spacious and incredibly easy to set up, the downside is that they are very bulky even when packed down. For someone who camps frequently or is going touring I would strongly recommend this tent. If you go away for one or two weekends a year, I would probably look at cheaper options.

  • muzzy1907 on 09/01/2023 - 23:45

    I've heard a lot of good things about this tent. Good savings to be had. I personally own a Blackwolf Turbo 240 Plus for almost 10 years now, never skipped a beat and still going strong and withstands rain hail or shine. i can vouch for buying once and not looking back. They retain their value for resale too which is awesome.

      • ninnypoop on 10/01/2023 - 07:21

        Can you elaborate on why you'd choose the turbo tent over the oztent? If you can't be bothered, then fair enough :)

          +2

          Sure can!
          So most of my experience with them both comes mainly from repairs, both canvas and frame, however I have owned a Turbo Tent before purchasing a camper trailer.
          I personally find the Turbo Tent to be sturdier, no plastic joins or corners as the Oztents have.
          In terms of putting them up I find them both to be quick to pop up, though some Turbo Tents (240 plus range etc) have additional back room that require additional steps to setup but they provide more room than the Oztents do.

          Really though, they'll both do the job at the end of the day, I feel it comes down to preference and what/how many people are going to be using it.
          Hope that helps!

            @InsertCrow: I had a very unfortunate series of events camping last year that led to a 100ah battery sliding off a table straight through my turbo 240 lite main cabin wall. It hasn't been out of the shed since then as I haven't had the impetus to get it fixed, though I'm curious how repairable it would be? Can the material be sewed or glued together? I will have to pull it out to find the exact tears locations.

            @InsertCrow: How do the two compare in terms of speed of putting up and taking down?

            And what about packed size?

              +1

              @prhino: The Oztent is faster to pack up and put down as it's just folding the two legs out and lifting up.
              With the Turbo tent you need to unfold the legs, pop it up by pushing the middle up and then attatch the fly etc

              I don't have either tent at the shop right now so best I could do were find packed dimensions via Snowys website.
              Turbo Tent 240 Plus Lite- 121L x 28W x 32H cm

        I've had both tents. Oztent is much much better as it is sturdier, better quality and goes up faster. The downside is it's heavier and bigger folded up.

      I also own a Black Wolf 240 Plus lite. I've had it for 15+ years. Great tent and highly recommend. Because of age mine needs a coat of waterproofing spray and all the seams need replacing which I imagine is normal for a tent of this age.

    Was excited about this tent until I realised it is extraordinarily long when packed (2m).. their video says 'easy transport in most vehicles' but that is likely only true if you have an unused seat you can fold down.. otherwise would need to go outside - probably on roofracks

    • wombat81 on 10/01/2023 - 03:36

      • Major Clod on 10/01/2023 - 09:26
        +1

        Weight shouldn't be an issue on regular good quality racks. You can use these trays to help support them.

        https://www.drifta.com.au/product/oztent-aluminium-roof-carr…

        Concern with a hatchback is will the tent overhang the rear of the car too much, and prevent you from opening the hatch while the tent is on the roof?

        • ChatCPT on 10/01/2023 - 09:44
          +1

          oh yeah true that too. Its hard to visualise 2m on a hatch roof but imagine it would overhang pretty bad on both sides if centered.
          I'll look at something that packs smaller - only need for 2 adults anyway but to invest in something decent

        • tivoenator on 10/01/2023 - 11:19

          Those trays from Drifta have been out of stock for ages. I wonder if they actually still make them.

    • Major Clod on 10/01/2023 - 09:23

      Yes the main downside is they are long when packed, similar to one of those Oztrail market gazebos. Pretty much your option is roof rack or trailer mounting. The Blackwolf Turbo tents is what you want to look at if you want something of similar speed / quality but have a better chance of fitting in the rear of a wagon. They still take up a LOT of boot space though.

  • mandelbrot on 10/01/2023 - 01:52

    This Blackwolf canvas is also a good alternative (slightly smaller I believe). 55% discount down to $700.

      Thanks for this mate, just checked it out and bought one after thinking about an Oztent RV for the last couple of weeks. I nearly bought the RV5 from BCF yesterday but didn't because it's just so friggin' long which is a PITA even with a 4WD. The great thing about the Black Wolf tent that tipped the scales for me is that it can be carried and stored more easily and securely and doesn't have to be carried on the outside of the vehicle getting wet if it rains, and it's a good tent from all reports. It's plenty big enough for a couple and $700 is a pretty good price for this tent.
      Thanks again.

      • ChatCPT on 10/01/2023 - 09:12

        those were my exact same concerns. Thank you both - I'll do some research into this blackwolf one

        • OzBragain on 10/01/2023 - 12:14

          Personally I prefer the shape of the packed RV tents, easy to tie to roof racks to free up space inside the vehicle.

    • pharkurnell on 10/01/2023 - 12:17

      I have the RV2 and the Blackwolf 300…

      The BWolf can fit inside the patrol across back seats.. the RV needs a roofrack which is the only downside..

      The RV is easier by miles to pack up but mine is the bigger size Wolf.

      RV gives more options for walls, joins to the Foxwing awning to give you awesome coverage and you can add more to it

  • JohnnoT6 on 10/01/2023 - 07:16

    Great deal, I’m in the market for a high grade tent set up but this looks a bit small for my family, can anyone recommend something similar for 2 adults + 2 kids?

    • JeffKennett on 10/01/2023 - 07:20
      +2

      Still consider it. You can add a whole room to the tent if you like.

      I purchased the RX5 which comes with both rooms as standard.

      I also purchased one of these to transport it

      https://www.drifta.com.au/product/oztent-aluminium-roof-carr…

      The 2m pack up length and weight are the downsides.

    • OzBragain on 10/01/2023 - 08:13
      +2

      I use this for short trips with two adults and two kids. Enough room to sleep but not much space bags etc. Highly recommend the peaked side panels to enclose the awning for extra protection from the weather. With roof racks the RV5 isn't difficult to transport but wouldn't consider trying to fit it in a vehicle with the rest of the camping gear.

      For longer trips we use a Jet Tent F25X which has plenty of space but is 30kg+ and not quick to set up or pack up. Wouldn't recommend for anything less than a 4 day trip.

    • pharkurnell on 10/01/2023 - 10:00

      It depends if your base camping or just overnight camping….

      When your camping you don't live in your tent - you spend more time outside… so if its only to sleep, then you can fit 5 in it, but you don't be getting a leg over without waking the kids

      Many stores have them setup so you can see how much room there is..

      • OzBragain on 10/01/2023 - 12:15

        When your camping you don't live in your tent

        True but if you end up with a few days of bad weather it's nice to have the extra tent space.
