Hey guys, Ben from Snowys here today
with an Oztent accessory for your RV tent,
the mesh floor savers.
Now these are made with a woven
synthetic mesh that allows moisture
and dirt to fall through and gives you
protection from the hard ground underneath.
On particularly wet ground you might
get a bit of moisture coming up through,
but it gives you pretty good protection.
It does have a reinforced edging around here
and eyelets around the edges as well for extra pegs.
Now these cover the whole floor plan
of your tent, so it goes right underneath
the tent to the back here, and it covers
the whole space of your awning.
It goes out as far as your awning would if it were set up
in a flat manner, not pegged like this one.
So because the RV one is set up pegged here,
the awning actually finishes just short of the end here.
I've got the two, three, and four
set up on the outside of me here.
The end of those awnings finish level
with the mesh floor savers because
they're set up in a flat manner.
If we put the pegged side panels in there,
the end of that awning will move back a little bit.
Now I've got the RV five over here,
I'm gonna set this up for you and show you how to do it.
I've got the floor saver here,
this is the RV five tent in front of me,
so it is an accessory that packs separately.
Now, when they're in their bag here,
it's an oversized bag that's about 50 to 55 centimetres long
and about 20 centimetres in diameter,
and each of them weighs in at about three kilos.
Inside the bag you get the mesh floor saver
and a few pegs, pretty straightforward.
The first thing we need to do to set it up
is move the tent aside and lay the floor saver out.
There's nothing overly technical about setting
up the floor saver, it is just a ground sheet.
From here, we could stick pegs
in the corners if we wanted to keep it in place.
I'm just gonna set the tent straight up
on top and put the pegs in later.
Now, there is a right orientation to the floor saver.
Oztent have got logos on the front two
corners of the floor saver here.
That's the spot that's gonna be under the awning,
so that's gonna be the front of our tent.
The other reason being that there's eyelets in the middle
which are roughly where our tent is gonna finish.
Then, across the front under the awning we've got
three eyelets, two in the corners, one in the middle.
Then in the centre, roughly in the centre of the sides,
there's a couple of other eyelets as well.
Then in the rear of the tent we've just got
a couple of eyelets in the corners,
not in the middle, because it's the tent
that's gonna keep the floor saver in place there.
I'm gonna grab the RV five and set it up on top now.
Just to save shuffling your tent up
once it's set up, which is harder to move,
when you begin to set it up, move it
right to the back of the floor saver here.
Use this as your guide, where this
triangle points is gonna be your front door.
That way when you set it up, it's pretty much
sitting almost right in place.
You might be wondering if you have
to use the same eyelets in the
ground sheet as you do for the tent, the answer is no.
I have aligned them up, the same peg
in the same eyelet at the rear.
These ones don't line up exactly with the
eyelet on the tent, so I would just peg them out separately.
Don't worry about trying to line it all up.
So now that I've pegged that out in the front there
I can pull the tent forward tightly, pull this
forward tightly, and peg out the front of our ground sheet.
That's my floor saver all pegged down,
I've just put a couple of pegs in the corners here.
I can put extras in if I like to stop it flapping around.
You can see now that the back of the floor saver
lines up nicely with the edges of the tent,
and this area out in the front here covers two metres
out from the tent which is exactly the length
of the awning which I'll set up shortly,
when it comes out in a flat manner.

The last thing I'll mention about
the mesh floor savers is that on the corners here
where these awning poles do sit,
it's double reinforced on top of this Oztent logo so
if you're worried about wearing a hole in your
mesh floor saver, you don't need to worry about it
because it is reinforced there.
That's pretty much all there is to the mesh floor saver.
A nice, simple product that extends
the life of your tent and gives you
a nice covered living area under your awning.
You can pick 'em up off our website at lowest
prices every day and we'll deliver just about
anywhere in Australia for free.
Thanks for watching, and see you next time.
