- Howdy Oztent lovers, Ben from Snowys here today
showing you how you can extend the living space
of your RV tent even further by using
the Oztent Side Awning.
♪ Hit it ♪ (upbeat R&B music)
- In my hand, here, I have the Oztent RV Side Awning.
This is the same awning for the RV-2, -3, -4 and -5.
You can't get one for the RV-1.
It attaches on the side here,
you can use it in conjunction with your Peaked Side Panels.
It's made from the same eight-ounce Polycotton canvas
that the tents are made from,
weighs about 2 1/2 kilos,
packed up it's about 112 centimetres long.
I'll pull it out of the bag
and show you what comes inside.
So inside the bag you get your awning.
This is 190 centimetres by 190 centimetres,
same width as the length of the awning.
Get a little strap to hold it all together,
a couple of upright poles, and a bag with some pegs,
and a couple of guy ropes in it.
Two pegs, two guy ropes.
The first thing we need to do to attach it
is find the zipper and attach it on the side,
now this can go on either side of our tent,
it's compatible with both zippers.
So for the orientation,
we need to make sure the writing is facing outwards
or upwards, and then we find the zipper
on the opposite end to the writing, which is here,
we go to the end with the zipper pull on it.
Now there's two zippers on the Side Awning,
one that does have a zipper pull and one that doesn't.
This one with the zipper pull is for attaching our
Peaked Side Panel onto the side still,
while the Side Awning is in place.
The one without the zipper pull is compatible with the zip
that does have the zipper pull on our actual awning.
So this slots in here and the other zipper stays inside
up underneath the awning.
So we put this in place, and zip the Side Awning on.
Now I've got the long pole here
that's from our Peaked Side Panel so this is compatible
with the Peaked Side Panels.
You could use it flat as well,
the benefit of the peak is that it creates a slope on the
roof so the water runs off.
Once you've got this zipped up
on the inside here, we want to go to the outside
and make sure this storm flap lines up,
this Velcro on the storm flap, sorry,
lines up with the Velcro here so
that it makes it weatherproof.
We zip this all the way up to there,
that's now attached to the tent,
all we need to do now is grab our two
upright poles that come with our Side Awning,
we've got eyelets in the corners here, grab our guy ropes,
we can peg it out the side.
That is our Side Awning all set up,
it's probably more conducive to having these poles
a little bit lower so there's a slope down here
for the water to run off of,
but that peak with the side panels,
or the longer pole from the Peaked Side Panels,
gives it a nice slope.
So that's created a nice sheltered area on the side here.
Now as I mentioned before, it is compatible
with the Side Panel attached.
I'm going to go and grab that now
and show you that that can still zip in underneath
with the Side Awning attached.
So we've got our B Side Panel here,
now these are an extra accessory,
they don't come with the Side Awning,
so we've got our side B Side Panel here to match up
with side B on the tent down here.
We find the zip at the top,
now this actually attaches to the zip on the Side Awning
now where the zipper pull is.
We put that in place and we just do it up.
So the Velcro tabs done up,
we can put the pegs in place along the bottom,
and we need to do the zip up on this side here as well.
And that is the Oztent Side Awning
with Deluxe Side Panels attached, all set up.
So we've now got a nice sheltered entry
to our front-enclosed room,
we could put our Front Panel
and our other Side Panel on here,
walk through into a weather-proof area.
We've got our sleeping area at the back of the tent,
we've created a beautiful little home for a long-stay camp.
