- This is the RV Plus Tarp or Extension Tarp.
An awesome addition to your RV-5 Plus tent
that goes in the front of the awning
and creates all these extra shaded space out the front.
I'm gonna tell you all about it,
I'm gonna show you how to set it up.
Let's get started.

Ben for Snowys here folks,
down at Brown Hill Creek tourist park.
I've got the Oztent RV Plus Tarps here.
They're an extensions tarp that comes out the front
of your RV Plus Tent, they're only suitable for the RV Plus.
They will also fit to an RV Tent,
but you won't be able to use a front panel
and this together, I'll explain that more to you shortly.
This is how they look when you buy them.
They're about a metre long
by about 10 centimetres in diameter wide,
bit over two and a half kilos.
Having a look what comes in the bag?
It's just a synthetic bag.
We'll open it up and spread it out on the grounds here.
We've got the tarp itself,
which is a 210T polyester
and rolled up inside that
we've got the poles, three poles in total.
These are three-stage poles, 2.3 metres total in height.
There's three sections to them.
So they extend out in two different spots.
So three poles, three pegs across the front.
And we also get somewhere in here, some pegs.
So there'll be three pegs, three guy ropes in here
so we can peg it out across the front.
Now these are made with a good quality material.
They've just it's synthetic throughout.
So it's not the same heavy duty canvas material
to the rest of the tent is made off.
It's a lightweight material because it is an accessory.
Does have brass eyelets in the corners
that are reinforced for the peg, poles to go through.
And then a zipper across the tarp,
which attaches to the awning
of our RV-3 Plus Tent or RV Tent.
Now the benefit of using these with an RV-3 Plus Tent
is the Pluses got two zipper poles across the front here.
Whereas the RV Tent has only got one.
So if we wanted to use this with a front wall,
which is a setup I've got over here,
that I'll show you shortly.
We wanna make sure we put this on the right zipper pull.
So if we use this external zipper pull here
and leave this inner one free,
it means this tarp will come out from this zipper pull.
We can still attach a front wall on here.
If we attach this to a standard RV tent
it's only got one zipper pull on the front.
So you can either use the Tarp Extension
or the front wall,
or you could use an Awning Connector, if you like.
'Cause the Awning Connector itself has another zipper.
But if you just wanna attach straight to this,
you've only got one zip to play with.
RV-3 Plus no worries though,
we'll put this in place here, slide it into the zipper
and we'll slide it right across the front.
And then we can put the pegs in place.
So this zips all they way, as we go,
there is a Velcro tab here to seal this.
So if any water runs down,
it runs over the top of the zipper.
The zipper is made waterproof then or watertight.
Zip that right across the front, zip that up.
Make sure this Velcro is sealed across the front there.
And now we can put our poles in place.
Now it's quite wide across the front.
I'll talk dimensions shortly,
but probably easiest way I'd say to set it up
is get your pegs and your middle awning pole
and a guy rope ready.
Put the awning pole in place.
So we're gonna set this middle one up first,
but we are gonna need to pack this centre,
I've just realised I've left this,
this guy rope for the awning of our tent out.
So we're gonna have to roll that one up.
We'll pack it away
'cause that's gonna get in the why of our tarp.
So we'll leave that one secure there.
We could take it off completely, if we wanted.
We can now set this up.
I'll put that through there.
I'll put the guard over the top.
So that's now secured that awning pole onto the tarp.
I won't extend it out too far just yet
until I've got it all set up properly.
And I can now just extend this out.
I'm gonna put this in so temporarily,
while I get all three poles in place.
So just loop that around there.
Now I can put the two side poles in
and I'll adjust it all afterwards.
So just adjust these poles.
Now you might find to adjust them back here as well
but I'll leave this one up as a really reasonable peg here.
So the water runs off the sides and just adjust this one.
So that's our tarp all set up.
Now this comes about two and a half metres out
from where the tent awning finished here to the front.
So creates heaps more space.
Starts at, in the case of the RV-3 about 2.4 metres.
RV-5 is a little bit wider but it goes out
to almost four metres across the front in the RV-3 Plus
and a little bit more than four metres for the RV-5 Plus.
So adds heaps of extra space out the front
of your awning here.
I just wanna touch on this XY double zipper feature
that we've got here.
I have got an RV-5 Plus set up over there
with a front wall attached here.
So I wanna show you how that all comes together.
Now this is the RV-5 Plus I've got here fully kitted out
with the front wall and the Deluxe Side Panels.
Now this gives slightly more space at the front here.
Still about two and a half metres roughly out to here.
Little bit more than four metres across the front
and takes us back to two and a half back there.
Should also mention too, there are no extra zippers
on the sides of the awning here.
So there are no further attachments
that can be made outside of this
or a Tarp Extension here.
The only zip is the one
that attaches back to the tent here.
And this is where I wanted to show you
this double zipper feature.
So there's no extra connectors or anything in here.
This is just the zip as the feature on the RV-5 Plus tent.
So the outer zipper,
we've got this Tarp Extension attached to the inner zipper.
We've got the front wall attached
to it, and then that's attached
to the side panels and everything around the side there.
So the front wall does also have
another panel here we could use
but this just gives us so much more coverage
out the front here.
Now, if we just had an RV-5 Tent, not an RV-5 Plus Tent,
we'd only be able to attach one of these, not both.
So the RV-5 Plus gives you
that little bit of extra versatility.
But this RV-5 Plus Tarp or Extension Tarp
that comes out the front of your awning here
is a really good addition
if you've got a big family.
Say you're doing a lot of summer camping,
you just need a lot of shade.
This is a really good option
because it adds more than just a square set
of side extra amount of protection at the front here,
it actually tapers right out.
So you get tonnes of shade under here.
A really good addition to your RV-5 Plus Tent.
