- Ben from Snowys here, folks.
Sunny day in the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park
I'm taking you for a tour
of the OZtrail 10P Fast Frame Lumos Tent.
♪ Hit it ♪
This is a big tent, great for family camping,
three rooms inside, a light blocking technology,
integrated lighting system, and a fast pitch frame.
And it's loaded with features.
When the 10P Fast Frame Lumos is packed up
it fits inside this bag here.
Now it's quite of feature there.
It's not really heavy duty
but they've allowed bit of extra space.
There's clips on the end here,
so the opening's a little bit bigger than this.
There's an expansion gusset on the bottom here.
So if you don't get it rolled up really tightly,
it's easy to fit back inside the bag.
And that's about 1.2 metres in length,
and it's about 30, 35 centimetres in diameter.
Once again, depending on how tightly you roll it up.
And it's not a lightweight, weighs about 34 kilos, 33...
Well, 33 to 35 kilos.
So it's a reasonably heavy tent,
but you get all of this included.
I'm just touching on the fabrics that the tents made on.
I'm just going to unzip this and fold it under
so you can see this on the camera there.
it's 150 denier rip stop polyester
with a 3000 millimetre water head.
And on the underside of this is what OZtrail call
their block-out technology.
It's this black sort of coating on here
that blocks out 95% of the light.
You can sort of see little spots here and there
where the coating hasn't quite taken,
but it blocks up most of the light.
So that's designed
to efficiently make it darker inside the tent
so the kids sleep longer or you can get to sleep it in
when it's really bright outside.
It can also reduce the temperature inside the tent.
I think OZtrail said about 10 degrees,
that's probably a bit of a stretch.
If you've got it all sealed up on a hot day,
it's gonna be pretty warm inside the tent.
But if you use this for shade
in conjunction with ventilation through the tent,
it'll certainly make it cooler.
And it feels quite comfortable with standing under here now,
'cause there's not a light coming through that.
As we move on to the rest of the tent,
the inner here, that I specified denier
feels about the same thickness as the fly sheet.
It's not a rip stop material,
but it is a polyester on the inside there.
This fly screens are a nice, fine, nice seem mesh.
So they're probably gonna give you pretty good protection.
Definitely against mosquitoes, possibly even against midges.
As we move down to the floor,
this is a PU coated poly-oxford floor.
So it's not a...
It hasn't got a crinkly feel about it.
It's a nice durable floor.
They haven't specified a water head on this,
but it is a nice heavy duty floor.
And the frame is all steel,
including the awning poles at the front.
This integrated frame is all steel
apart from the knuckles and hub.
You can see the hub rod at the very top up here.
This is made from a nylon or sort of a flexible plastic
and there's metal components in there as well,
but predominantly a steel frame.
We'll move on to some of the features
of the fast frame 10P tent,
starting with his awning at the front.
Now we've got multiple setup options with this.
I've got this set up in full at the moment.
We could roll it all up and secure it
up across the top of the tent there if we like
and just have no awning at the front.
With the set up in full like this,
we've got a full length, kind of, shade
and a wall protection on the end there.
There are actually three sections to this awning.
So there's a zip that runs down here
and a zip that runs down here
and each of the three sections
has got its own independent eyelet.
So we could set up an awning here
with the two end bits shut, if we like.
We could just close this end bit
and have this two thirds as our awning,
or we can zip it all completely close
for full weather protection, if we want.
And furthermore, we've got a little bit of flexibility
with the walls on the end here as well.
So I've got these down for a bit of wind protection here.
They won't put up with strong wind,
but wind and shade protection.
And there is also a zip that runs up the side here.
I'm just gonna duck around
into the sun here so I can show you.
There's a zip that runs up here,
and we can fold these walls up, if we like.
Roll them up, if I take it off of the peg
on the corner here.
I can roll this up and secure it at the top here
with these tabs
and create an open ended awning right through
or a full length open-ended awning.
Further to that, as we step around
to this end of the tent here,
there's another entrance way here
to one of the three rooms inside,
which we'll show you shortly.
This can be left closed, like it is.
We can roll it completely open if we want
and leave it open for ventilation.
If we undo this zip, we've got tabs at the top here,
so we can completely open this up.
Alternatively, this also has
its own independent eyelets in the corners here.
So with two more of the included awning poles,
we can set this up as another awning out the side here.
So we've now got shade at the end of the tent
and shade across the front of the tent.
But it keeps going further than that.
If we come around to the rear of the tent,
we've got two windows here that can be set up here.
They're zipped closed, rolled completely open,
or set up as little shade awnings
over the top of the mesh here.
We've got another doorway under this flap here,
with zippers that run down here
and we can set this up in almost exactly the same manner
as that opening at the front,
in that we can have a full length awning
right along the side of the tent.
We could just set up this middle section,
'cause it has got its own independent eyelets
in the corners,
or we could set up one or two of just the side awnings
if we wanted, depending on how you're operating
inside your tent.
So you've always got an option to set up a complete veranda
with the exception a little bit of some of the corners
right around the side of this tent
and that's gonna help with really sunny days,
keeping it cold inside 'cause you've gotta have shade
sort of outside of the tent
and lots of protection on the inside,
and this fabric is gonna keep the light out as well.
The step right into of the last side of the tent here.
You'll see, we've got the same as at the other end.
We've got this already unzipped here,
but we can set this up as an awning as well.
If we wanted to set up
both the front and the rear awnings in full
and both end awnings you'd need to get
two extra awning poles 'cause you only get 10.
You'd need 12 in total to set all of this up,
but both of these then create access
to a doorway on each end here as well to that end room.
We'll show you more on that shortly.
That's all the features on the outside of the tent.
I wanna jump inside now and show everything in there.
Just before I step inside,
'cause we'll touch on dimensions shortly
and I wanna cover dimensions of the awning here now.
Six metres right across the front here
'cause it fans out a little bit.
Comes out about 1.2 metres from the bottom of the tent there
to where this shade finishes,
and height-wise it's about, well, 170 to 190 centimetres.
I'm 185.
There's two poles that are about 190 centimetres.
And the rest of the poles, the ones on the ends,
are about 180 centimetres,
so I do need to duck under here a little bit.
It's not clear standing space,
but certainly plenty of sitting space.
Stepping inside the tent,
The height wise in the tent, about 195 centimetres
in the centre here and it drops off a few centimetres
at each end where the pegs are there.
So there is plenty of standing space inside the tent.
Now there is this cool integrated lighting system.
I'm gonna touch more on that shortly.
I'll run through the other features first.
Now I've stepped through a nice big D door here
that can be zipped closed completely for protection,
or it has this internally adjustable privacy screen
that can be zipped just down most of the way down.
The door doesn't open completely,
it can just roll up at the base there
so you can create a bit of ventilation.
Just leave it done up at the top there, if you like,
for high level of ventilation or zip it completely closed.
On the opposite side of the tent, the same thing.
Opposite side in the middle room here,
this is a door that will go out to that rear awning
that we've currently got closed and that also has
an internally adjustable privacy screen on it.
So you can just open that a little bit
for ventilation there if you like.
And if we step across to the end rooms here,
continuing on the window theme,
we've got this nice big mesh window here.
Once again, with a privacy screen here,
we've opened all these up at the moment
to try and get some light inside the tent
so you can see what's going on.
Below that window is part of the ventilation system
that they've got in these tents.
So we undo that.
You can secure that at the bottom there,
and that allows low level ventilation.
So the end of the tent, once again,
this is mirrored at both ends of the tent.
This is a doorway that can be completely unzipped
for access to the room at this end of the tent here,
if we like, but alternatively, just used as a window
as we've done here with a privacy screen open,
as far as you like.
These zips zip upwards from there.
To this side of the tent, once again,
same thing as the opposite side here,
there's an internally adjustable privacy screen
that we've got zipped closed at the moment.
And then underneath that,
another one of those little circle ventilation vents,
or circular ventilation vents
that marries up with a little vent on the outside there
where that looks sort of cone on the outside there
that allows a bit of airflow.
You've got a few storage options in here as well.
Little mesh storage pocket in the corner here.
And there's a couple of smaller ones on the front.
So, a three section pocket there.
on the opposite side, and keeping in mind
that this is all mirrored at the other end of the tent,
you've got another little hanging mesh storage pocket here.
And then out of the central section of the tent here,
you've got this little ladder of storage,
three mesh pockets, one on top of each other,
and that's on the opposite corner of this room as well.
So everything you're seeing at this end of the tent
is mirrored at the other end of the tent.
There's also ventilation at the top of the tent here.
So in the centre room here,
you've got these two mesh vents here
and that mesh extends to the rear here as well.
So plenty of ventilation in here
to make sure you get...
Or reduce condensation on cold nights,
but also you get ventilation on warm nights.
And in each room, you've got a little lantern hook,
a little plastic lantern hook.
And that marries up with a little hole here
that you can use to pass a cord through.
So if you've got 12 volt power
coming in the middle section of the tent,
which we'll show you shortly,
with a zip in the corner where you can have power coming in,
you'd have the cord running through here,
a light hanging there.
You can have another light hanging here.
The alternative is to use the integrated lighting system.
If we just duck down to the bottom corner.
Before we do that though, I'm gonna show you
the zipper where you can have your own lights.
If you got your own cable, 12 volt power,
you can get the power cord in here.
On the opposite side to the little power access zip,
there's another little access port here,
which is designed to be used for,
say heaters or ventilators.
There's some heat is coming out now, which had ducted.
So you could access it like a fan,
or if you've got a portable air conditioner
or a heater or something, you can access it in here
to either suck warm air out or pump cool or warm air in.
I guess you could also use this
as another power access point, if you like.
It's got a little securing loop around there,
so you can put the cord through,
tighten it up and then zip this closed, as far as you want.
And that's gonna remained reasonably bug proof.
But OZtrail have actually integrated
their own lighting system into this tent
which marries up with this switch here.
At the very top here, there is a USB power pack.
Now you get this power pack with your tent.
Takes four D cell batteries.
What I've actually done is plugged it in
to a USB power pack here to power it up.
So it's just a USB plug
and that cable is actually integrated into the tent here.
If you had your own lighting system,
you can use these Velcro tabs just above here
to secure the cable as it comes into the tent.
And that runs right down
to that power access point we just saw.
But this then powers up the switch
that features in the wall here,
and there's also another switch on the outside here,
so you can turn the lights on as you come into the tent.
I dunno if you can quite see it there but that is back lit.
There's a number of settings, a bright, medium,
and offsetting for the cabin light.
There's also a night light which is really dim setting.
I'm gonna show you more on that shortly
'cause we're gonna zip the tent up completely.
Firstly, to show you how much light gets blocked out
and secondly, to show you how well
the lighting system works.
But what I wanna do before I do that,
is grab some airbeds and put them inside here
because I want to show you
how you might be able to use this space.
Now they say this is a 10 person tent,
but ideally I reckon it's probably better
for a family of four to six.
'cause you've got two sleeping areas
I'd say two in each room or two to three in each room.
Now I've got four airbeds in here now
and each end room...
Sorry, three airbeds in here
and each end room measures about 195 centimetres in depth
this way at the base,
and the tent's 220 centimetres in width.
That centre room is about 200 centimetres
between the two end rooms there.
This is a double high air bed that I've got in the end here.
It's about two metres in length
and about 150 centimetres in width here,
so it won't fit this way.
It's gotta fit across ways here.
So mum and dad have got room in here to sleep
plus a very little bit of storage.
And then you have also got this privacy screen here
that you can zip up to close room up if you like.
So this sits in its own little storage pocket there.
It zips across the base here,
but there is a bit of a lip
that always stays on the bottom here.
So that is completely sealed though, when that's done up.
So we can do that up completely.
There's no other mesh panels or anything in there.
And that then encloses that room at the end there.
Same deal at this end of the tent,
I've got two XL single air beds in here.
These are about 190 centimetres in length
and about a metre in width.
So they fit pretty comfortably
with a bit of space down the middle.
So two kids in this end here
are gonna sleep pretty comfortably.
You've got that middle space for storage
and once again, you've got this privacy screen in here
that you can zip up.
It's got the same flat fare on the bottom
that kind of sits flat when it's undone.
But I guess it could be a bit of a trip hazard
so just be wary of that.
These can stash in these little pockets in here
when you're not using it
or do it up to create a private room
in the end here when the kids go to bed early.
Now, the last thing I wanna do
is close the fly out completely,
so we block out all the light.
It's a pretty warm day here today.
It's full sun, so we should get a pretty good idea
of how well that light blocking material works.
And then we'll flip the lights on
and show you how well they work as well.
Now I'll do this up in a sec 'cause when I do it up,
it's gonna get dark and you won't be able to see me,
but we'll do it.
We'll have a look around the base first
just to see the little bits of light that are getting in
which isn't much.
And then we'll flick the lights on
and show you how well they work.
So we do have both the fly now, let's fly that up.
Now that you've done up as well,
we can that see that around the base,
there is just a little bit of light coming in.
Now bearing in mind this is midday, just after midday here
on a really clear, sunny, 30 degree day.
So it's pretty dark inside this tent here at the moment.
If we look up, we can just see little bits of light
here and there around the edge, just reflecting upwards
but other than that, it's pretty dark inside the tent.
If we came across to our switch unit,
we can see a little blue, black back...
Back-lit, sorry, switch here.
That's the same on the outside that you'll see
when you come in during the night.
So it's easy to find the switch.
The right-hand switches the night light.
If we flick that it just goes into a dim setting.
Now this is great for kids during the night.
You can leave it on without it being really bright
and it gives kids a bit of security at night.
If I flick the cabin switch,
which is the bigger button
that goes under the bright setting.
There's three settings here.
There's bright, medium and off,
but in the bright setting, you get sort of up to
a 700 lumens of light.
It's diffused through this fabric on the top here.
And you get probably 200 plus hours of runtime
from the diesel batteries that you've got in the pack
that comes included with the tent.
So you can pretty easily leave that nightlight on
night after night for the kids without worrying
about your batteries going flat too quickly.
But with that, on the bright setting,
it does give enough light to go
kind of in each end of the tent here,
so you can see throughout the tent,
and it saves having a lantern and stuff
hanging in the middle of the tent.
I just wanna make mention
of where they talk about temperature reduction
of this light blocking fabric here.
It's certainly dark inside,
but with regards to the temperature reduction,
it got hot inside this tent pretty quickly here today,
around about 30 degrees or at least high twenties,
nice clear day.
With no ventilation, that was stuffy inside.
But when this awning was set up at the front,
and if you set up all these all around the tent
and include the light blocking material over the top,
you've got this massive shaded area
with ventilation throughout
and it created a really comfortable space
underneath the tent.
So I wouldn't expect it to reduce the temperature
with it zipped up,
but when you're using ventilation throughout,
it creates a nice, cool space for you
to get shaded under in the campsite.
That is all the features
of the OZtrail 10P Fast Frame Lumos Tent
