♪ Hit it ♪
Ben from Snowys here folks
and a beautiful sunny day!
At the Brownhill Creek tourist park
in Adelaide!
I've got the Malamoo Teepee 6-10
from Austent set-up here.
This is going to help you stand out in the campsite
it's easier to set-up, and a little it quirky
for your family camping adventures.
I'm going to take you for a bit of a walk through.
Now, let's start with the features on the outside,
this is the door, or the entryway here
but before we step in there, I just want to come
around and show you the windows.
Now, this features on both sides
so at the moment, we've got this window closed
with a storm flap here.
There's a couple of zips up the side;
and we can sort of set it up in two different ways.
As if we zip this half way up
to the first velcro tabs here...
And roll this up, there's a couple of tabs
half way up that allows us to secure this opened.
And underneath is a clear PVC window.
This a single skin tent so that's
looking straight inside of the tent, there.
Furthermore, if we want ventilation
and we zip this all the way into the top.
Keep going all the way
only now we expose, once this is secured
at the top of here, the PVC panel
at the base for visibility and
lets the light in the tent.
And above that is this mesh panel here.
Now that features on the other side of the tent as well.
I'll show you that as we walk around.
Moving around the back of the tent here.
Now I'll show you the rear, there's no windows
or anything here, but there is a vent
that features at the top, at the back here.
Now that also features above the door, but
one thing to know about this vent at the back.
I've left that closed, and now can't reach it to open it.
Now that the tents set-up.
So I'd probably recommend leaving them open
all the time, for ventilation.
The vent, the mesh is a long way up under there.
It's gotta be really, really bad weather
before you get any sort of water or anything
inside that.
I don't think it'll ever happen.
But maybe leave it open before you set the tent up.
Come here to this side of the tent here.
I've got another one of the windows that I showed you
on the other side.
I've just got this one closed.
This window also has PVC panel on the base
and mesh above there for ventilation, if you like.
Come here to the front of the tent.
And we'll now have a look at the door.
Before we do that though, lets talk about the fabrics.
Now as I mentioned, its a single skin tent.
So this fabric on the outside is a
190T polyester fabric.
There is one panel of mesh in here
which is the door. So we can leave this
panel open and get ventilation through the front
combined with the windows on the side
and the vent on the top,
ventilation throughout the tent.
And the base of the tent is a
120G polyethylene or a tarp top material.
So nice, durable, waterproof material.
One other thing before I step right inside the tent.
I just wanna show you this vent
at the top here.
Now, I can reach this one here
there's a little keepstan, up under here
If I wanna close that up,
there's velcro tabs there.
So I can secure that closed if I like.
It doesn't quite match up, there we go.
We're going to reduce the amount of breeze coming in
but to be honest with you, I'd leave it open
all the time.
It's a single skin tent
so, with single skin tents your increasing
the chance of condensation inside
if you don't allow ventilation throughout the tent.
So, leave them open
the mesh is about this far up,
and you're not going to get any weather in there.
If we step inside the tent here
we'll first secure these doors back.
There's a little tab on the side here
that allows us to roll these up.
Get them out of the way so they're not dangling
in our way, while we're in the tent
we can also roll the mesh door back and
secure that too, if we like.
And now we can step inside the tent.
Now, the first thing I'll show you
is the pole here.
This is a 25mm steel pole.
It's got a rubber pad on the bottom here
to stop it from putting holes in the floor.
There's also a reinforced pad on the floor here as well,
just for an extra bit of longevity.
Now in terms of the height of the tent,
this pole is 2.5 metres in height.
But it doensn't actually give you
2.5 metres if you use it in space.
Because it comes down to a really small
peak at the top, there.
In terms of usable space, now I am 185cm
in height, so I can stand up in the middle
of the tent here, but quite close to the pole.
As soon as I get over near the edge,
I'm up against the side of the tent.
With regards to the actual space in the tent.
There's 350cm, is what Oztents are
I measured it at about 340cm from side to side,
so you've got a little bit less than that
because of the sloping sides of usable space
in here, its an octagonal shape.
So they say you can sleep 6,
but it's probably an awkward 6.
I'd say it's a pretty comfortable 2-4 person tent
I've got some airbeds outside,
but I'm going to put in here and we'll see
how you might be able to use the space.
Now these are XL single airbeds.
They're about 190cm in length and
about a metre in width.
So very comfortably sleep two people in here.
You're wondering if you can fit a double.
Now, I tried to fit a double high queen size bed in here
It just wouldn't go through the door
it's too tight.
But you could fit a double, single high
airbed in here, the measurements
from this pole here to the side there
when this is pushed against the edge
about 150cm.
Most double mats are about 140cm,
so you could fit two doubles in here.
To fit 6 people though you'd have to sleep some
of them at the front and some at the back
there on a very small mat.
It's going to be pretty tight
but great room for 2 people
ideal for a family of 4.
A few other features inside the tent here
the windows, as you can see on the side there
are not adjustable from the inside.
That ones closed, and the other side there
We've got this one open with that
mesh panel ventilation.
Now we've got a few storage options in here
there's 3 pockets, divided in 2.
There's a mesh pocket here, one at the rear
and one at the other side as well
just to keep the necessities at hand.
And at the very top of the tent,
we can see the vents that we talked about earlier.
They're not adjustable from the inside,
so this rear one is closed at the moment.
Its still going to allow some ventilation
but if I wanna open that right up,
I need to take the pole out, lower it down
and open the vent.
Now the really good thing about these tents is
you can sleep a family of 4 in here.
The whole thing weighs less than 7 kilos.
It packs up to about 70cm in length
and only about 20x20cm in height and width.
So, great for camping in small cars.
It's really sturdy too for that sort of pack size.
That's pretty much all the features
of the Oztent Malamoo teepee 6 tent.
I reckon it's a pretty unique option
that's going to make you stand out in the campsite.
And make that family camping experience
just a little bit of extra fun!
