- Hey folks, Ben from Snowys today with an awesome add-on
for your Foxwing 270 degree awning from Oztent.
It's the Foxwing Tagalong tent.
Zips under the side of your awning.
I'm going to tell you all the features, walk you through it
and we'll learn all about it.
Let's check it out.
(upbeat music)
We're down here today guys
at the Brown Hill Creek Caravan Holiday Park.
A quaint little caravan park just 15 minutes
from Adelaide CBD, not far from
the beaches in Adelaide's leafy eastern suburbs.
They've given us some space to show you the 270 awning
and all of its features today and I'm going to tell you
about the Foxwing Tagalong tent,
which I've got set up here attached to my 270 awning.
Now talk about the attachment options first
for the Tagalong tent.
Up along the top here, there is a zipper,
on the other side of this zipper
is a 6 mm sail tracks blind so you can actually attach
this tent to a zippered attachment for an RV tent
or to this 270 awning or you could attach it to anything
that's got a six or seven mm sail track to it.
Now these poles in the front here come with the tent,
they're in aluminium and the tent itself is made
from a 300 denier polyester with the exception of the floor
which is a 350 GSM PVC
and there are also insect proof mesh panels throughout.
We've got a vent up here and then behind this door
is a mesh door which I'm going to unzip and show you now.
So I got my two storm flaps open here now this tent
is attached to a 270 awning, we could actually use some
guide ropes to make it freestanding
because we've got a pole structure at the front here,
we could attach a couple of guide ropes on there
and peg this out which is why we still need
this storm flap on the front.
Now there are a couple of vents in the top here,
really important for condensation
particularly on cold nights.
We can roll these open, it allows the hot air
to escape out the top and minimal condensation
inside the tent because it is a single skin tent.
Behind this storm flaps here we've got an insect proof mesh
which has got a T zipper to allow us to get inside.
Now as I walk here from the protection of my 270 awning
and protected space I can step straight
into my sleeping area here.
At this point here these poles are about 190 centimetres
in height and it slopes to the back
pretty much straight away.
Come inside and have a look.
So it's quite roomy inside the Tagalong tent here.
It's 260 centimetres in width which is the same width
as one of the sides of the 270 awning,
225 centimetres deep but this back does slope
a reasonable amount so you might be limited
as to what length of stretcher you can get in,
it might have to be at least 30, 40 centimetres
shorter than the length of the tent.
And it's got three windows, one at the rear
and one on each side here.
Now the interesting thing with these windows is that each
of them has an internally openable swing screen which means
they are all adjustable from both inside
and outside the tent so I can leave this
right open if I like.
I can zip the mesh section closed
or I'm able to reach outside and actually close
this storm flap without having to get outside the tent.
Simple but very functional feature.
As we work our way up the tent
we've got a little storage pocket at the back here
just a polyester storage pocket.
If we scoot around to the front of the tent here
we've got a little electrical access point
in the corner here so we can get power for our lights
or whatever it is that we want to run fans inside the tent.
As we work up this corner of the tent
there are tabs running up the side here
and across the front and the top here.
These are to attach LED light bars or even if it's just
to attach a cord or something like that for our electrics
inside the tent so we can illuminate the tent
and that's just that side and across the top.
That's pretty much all the features
inside the Foxwing Tagalong tent.
Room for a family of four, tonnes of room for two.
You'd fit two stretches in here but they'd probably
want to be, I'd say around about 190 in length.
You wouldn't want to get much longer than that,
but it's certainly a roomy tent.
I want to show you the features on the outside as well.
So lets step around the side and go and have a look.
Coming around to the side of the tent here,
I've got a window, now this features on both sides.
This has got the externally and internally
adjustable mesh panel here which is covered by a storm flap.
Now this storm flap has got two zippers down each side here.
One that allows us to close it up completely,
so that we can seal it up from all breeze if we like.
There's a bit of an overlap down here so that we can
get plenty of protection from wind.
Alternatively if we want a bit of ventilation
in the tent we do up the zipper that's below that
and that then gives us a gusseted window
to allow wind or ventilation, a bit of breeze underneath
here while the water doesn't come into our tent.
Now that also features in the window
at the rear of the tent here where we've also got
a mesh panel internally and externally adjustable
and then our storm flap that rolls down
over the top here with two zips on the side.
The outer one for full storm protection with a Velcro tab
in the middle here as well because it's a longer window.
Alternatively we undo the zip underneath.
Gives us this gusseted section, we peg these guide ropes
out and that also gives us ventilation or breeze
through the tent while the water stays on the outside.
That's pretty much all the features of
the Oztent Foxwing 270 Tagalong tent.
Great addition to your awning for four wheel drive-teering.
You can grab them online it's snowys.com.au.

I hope you found that useful.
We'll see you next time.
