- I'm taking you for a walk through
of the Oztent RV3 plus tent set up behind me here.
Everything you see is included in the package.
Let's check it out.
(upbeat music)
Hi, folks Ben from Snowys here.
Today we're in a brand new
great Citrus park.
It's a beautiful day.
We're by the river and I'm showing you the Oztent RV3
plus tent behind me here.
We've got a bit of a walkthrough.
This is a really a versatile tent for,
for family camping or forward drive touring.
It comes with everything you see here with a paint
awning the floor sheet
and there's also a few extras that we'll show you over the
top of the traditional RV range.
We'll go through that shortly.
I want to start with a bag in front of me here.
This is how big it is when it's packed.
It weighs actually about 26 kilos by my measurements,
about two metres in length and about sort of
And the fabric here is the same 8 ounce
- [Narrator] poly cotton canvas that Oztent have used
in all their RV tents for a long time.
So it's a good reliable fabric.
It's got a 1500 millimetre waterhead writing.
The frame is an aluminium frame.
So the poles that we see under the awning handle,
and also the frame that is inside the tent,
that we'll show you shortly.
You can see it underneath here.
That's the one alluminium frame mesh
Its a nice ultra fine mesh.
I haven't got proof of whether it's actually
midge proof or not,
but I'd say it's gonna be pretty close to being midge proof
it's certainly midge proof.
There's also a mesh door behind this one here
that we'll show you shortly.
And the floor is the same heavy duty PVC bucket floor that
they've always used in the RV rain.
So no change with the fabric series still the good,
reliable, heavy duty fabrics that Oztents have always used.
Moving on to the features of the owning hand.
This is where some of the differences of care with the RV
plus to the standard of value range.
Firstly with the way this is seal around the edge here.
This is now continuous zipper.
It starts from the very bottom down here
and runs right up around the edge around
the corner and right up to the front of the awning here.
So it gives a better protection from rain.
The owning are always pretty weatherproof
on any of the RV tents.
This just gives it a slight step out.
There is a continuous skit that runs right around here
Continuous veil (mumbles).
There is a slot right here where it joins and also the front
here, there is a break there,
but it does give better upgraded weather protection right
around the side of this owning here,
but also little orange caps that you get with your kit.
These go over the top of the brass,
all it's the feature underneath here,
just to stop the water from creeping in through the
bras Oztent and creeping down
this pole here
used to only really occur in really heavy rain events.
But once again,
just that one slight step up with the RV plus range.
They've also added a second zip across the front of the
owning here.
So this means that you can use the accessories
for the RV plus range with a side wall,
whereas traditionally or previously,
there was just one zip that featured here.
If you wanted to use an accessory with a front panel,
you needed to use say an op connector which actually
had the second zip on the awning connector.
So it's now contained with the RV tent here.
And the zips both start on this side here.
And the last thing or the second to last thing,
actually that you'll find on the awning.
Now these little tabs that feature on the
back here and also on both sides of the
owning that feature around here,
little elastic tab so you can put your wiring
for strip lights that actually mounts.
Your LED strip lights or bar lights in this so you can
hold them up around the awning to light it up at night and
everything that you say with the awning
is this set up here now,
which includes these 2.3 metre poles a 1.9 metre poles
and both reach poles, all come with the RV plus kit.
So you get everything, just set it up.
As you see it here, before we step inside,
we'll take a bit of a Walk in the outside.
Starting on the side of the tent,
here you've got same window here.
That's always featured on the RV range.
This has got an internally adjustable panel on it.
It is where the process seems to be at the bottom there.
So a bit more on that when we step inside and as we step
around, you can see we've got the flier Tashi.
Now this fly sheet is included with the RV plus kit.
It's assigned fly that you've always been out of bars and
accessory for the RV chains
now included with the plus tip
that zips in along the top here with a stolen flat over
the top of the zip.
So nice and weatherproof.
This helps reduce heat inside the tent also helps
with condensation on really cold nights
cause the inner tent is a single skin tent.
If you've got this on,
it's gonna help the condensation build up on the flight
instead of on the inner tent,
stepping around to the back of the tent here,
we can see the fly sits down over the back and we've got the
same window that we've always seen on the RV tents.
So we can set this up completely zipped closed.
If we wanted to unzip it,
we've got a nice big overlap here between the waterproof
fabric and the fly sheet and the mesh, sorry.
And you can actually peg this out,
It's a bit of a protected awning over the window.
If you like, alternatively,
roll it out this tabs at the top here to
secure it up and out of the way.
we'll say we got a few extra peg points in the
bice here with the RV plus range,
just to pull this fabric up in a way to create a little bit
of extra space at the back of the tent.
Traditionally, these are quite sort of a
small corner that you didn't have
a lot of usable space in.
These always featured.
These are an extra now
just to pull this out a little bit further to create
that extra internal space,
but hard to see here right now
but there is a sKola also that features up underneath here.
This is adjustable from the inside its
gonna make more sense when show you from the inside.
But that gives us ventilation at the top of the tent.
If we don't have the fly sheet on,
it also allows us to stargaze at night
while we're lying in the tent.
Across the back of the tent,
not a must to sit here three peak points
and the fly sheet coming down over
that window there, and then around to this side of the tent.
Same as we saw on the other side,
we've got the fly sheet,
which is coming out over the top of another window on this
side here with an eternally adjustable where the protected
panel inside that we'll show you shortly.
Just touching on sort of dimensions
before we jump inside the tent.
There's an awning when it's set up with a peak like this,
its about 1.9 metres from this point here.
So this point here.
If we level this out, drop this pole down and level it out,
this can come out to two metres.
So if there's a bit of fabric here three metres long.
So you've got that extra space and
it's 2.4 metres wide across the tents here
with regards to Headspace height,
1.9 metres at the front.
These are extended as far as they'll go.
2.3 metres of height here
so you could actually hang a Lance on or
something in there with a bit of Headspace if you like.
and these are extended as far as they'll go as well.
And that height is back to 1.9 metres here.
Let's now jump inside the tent and have a look.
So on the front here,
you've got canvas panels and underneath the canvas panel is
a mesh panel.
Now these just fall back,
there's tubs here to secure this out of the way
so that you can crawl in and out of the tent.
You can do this on both sides,
same with the canvas or the mesh panel here.
So the mesh doors we were talking about before.
We zip that back and we can also secure that back
and out of the way.
There's another tab inside goes through the same loop inside
then just fabric Lopes, so nothing that can break
on these nice and simple
before we step right inside the tent,
I'll cover off on a similar
features on the frontier.
Firstly, the vents in the top of the door,
these are now plainly adjustable vents.
There's little zip something inside here.
So we can roll this up and secure it at the bottom here.
We'll just leave it hanging if you like,
for ventilation through the top of the door,
ventilation is really important in these tents,
particularly if you're not using the
fly for condensation management,
we can zip them closed again.
So we can do that while the tent is sealed up.
And if we just jumped down to the bottom corner here,
there is a power access point here,
which changed up where these little tabs
are featuring inside.
Same as what we saw under the awning that runs up the side
of the tents here.
And that gets cold allows us to get cold inside of the tent
and gives us 20 or 40 volt power in the tent
to run lights or a fan or whatever we like.
Okay. Stepping inside, covering the features,
we'll start at the base of the tent.
The first thing I noticed is there's no low level pockets.
There used to be pockets on the RV tents that featured here.
And they kind of got disappeared down underneath
where your mat was.
So they're not there anymore,
but if we work our way up the back here,
we can see this the window that we saw from the outside.
So we've actually now got these pockets up here.
So this is like a little media pocket.
You could put a tablet or something in there if you like
and watch your favourite show,
if you like,
or just use it for storage.
These are removable.
There's a tape on the top here, Velcro tape.
So you can take them off if you like,
you don't have to use them.
Then I'm out of the side,
same sort of thing. But just in the same,
I know it's probably in canvas.
So we've pockets there one on each side.
So you can still get in up and out of the why rather than
down alongside your bag with
alongside your bedding where it can't get lost.
Run to the sides of the tent.
We've got the windows.
This is the internally adjustable stolen flat that
I mentioned before that we can open from the inside.
We can roll that up if we like,
or just leave it partially closed.
If we want a high level of insulation,
but a bit of privacy down low,
that also features on the other side here.
So we've got another panel here,
same window.
So we've got ventilation on each side,
we've got ventilation of the rear ventilation up high.
And then lastly,
the piece of the resistance with this guy here is the
skylight in the top here.
So this is a big mesh panel in the top here at the moment.
We've got the canvas panel closed up,
and I can unzip this from the inside.
I can main reach out here.
Don't cry down to the back.
There's a big Velcro strip along here
for weather protection.
So if we're not using the flier.
This will still offer you a good weather to protection.
We can unzip this on the sides there,
do it by size and we can roll it up and out of the way.
And if we weren't using the flaw shape,
this would now give us a good view of the night sky.
So let's secure it up.
It's open now.
This is the flier sheet.
This is looking right outside the tent.
So if we now zip this up,
we've got tonnes of insulation through the top of the tent,
with the fly sheet on.
So we've got, if it was raining or
if it was cold,
there's no issue with condensation in here because we're
gonna get all the warm is gonna escape out of then
condensation is gonna appear on the flier sheet.
If we have the flier sheet off,
clear view of the sky,
so that we can stargaze,
while we go to sleep at night,
Just touching on dimensions inside the RV3 plus here.
240 centimetres in width,
two metres in depth.
Now it's slightly less than that,
you need to take probably three to four centimetres off
because the frame just sticks inside the tent a little bit.
I have got a stretcher that I'm gonna put in here to show
you what how much sort of space you'd be able to fit.
They say it would fit three,
probably it would fit three if you just
had a camp mat on the ground.
If you've got a stretcher, gets a little bit tighter,
I'll show you what I mean.
This probably looks a bit silly at the moment,
but I just wanna show you that it's a bit hard to fit a
stretcher this way in the RV three plus 10.
This is about just on a 220 centimetres in length
and about a metre in width.
So I've still probably got a good 20,
almost 30 centimetres here that the
stretch would need to be shorter.
We should make it about 180,
190 centimetres stretch out for about a 190
centimetre stretches.
So you might just fit a really short stretch ring length
wise here, but it's gonna touch against the end here.
Like this one here does.
Ideally,
this is really enough room for a single stretcher
to fit crosswise in the tent.
Even this is a little bit awkward to get in here for now.
So you can say that will fit pretty comfortably
across the back then.
Now this is a big stretcher.
So you might just fit two stretchers this way as well,
but you're not gonna have a lot of space at each end of
the tent to move around.
So probably could just fit two small stretches in here.
Ideally, I'd say stick with so to
low level Sophie flooring mats
or air beds, or if you want,
it's a great rainy shelter
for one your dog and a bit gear.
Now with regards to what options are available
for the RV plus
and what connects to what cause Oztent RV tents
are very modular.
Most things work on this tent,
there's only a few exceptions.
The main one being the side panels,
the peak side panel kit that you get and the front panels
for the RV plus are only for the RV plus
they're not forwards or backwards compatible between RV
tents and RV plus tents.
You need to make sure you buy
the right side or front panels.
Ground sheets are the same, same dimensions.
So you can use the same ground sheet with these and the
awning and caravan connectors all fit on here.
The only benefit you get is that you get an extra zip.
So when you put an awning or a caravan connector,
the zip for the front wall that you would use when you're
using the awning connector attached to the awning connector,
but you're now going to have a
redundance zip essentially in there.
But these doubles does mean you can use the top extension,
which is an accessory for the RV plus tent,
plus a front wall here as well.
You can also attach that to a fox swing awning and you can
still use a front wall on there too.
And the side awning the one that zip
on the side and came out this way
that can be used on the RV plus tents because
this zip doesn't finish here.
The traditional RV tents had a single zip,
they finished here.
you attach the side awning on there and it came out.
You can't use that with this tent here.
But that's only a small amount of things
that you can't do with RV plus 10.
And it comes included with most of the extras you would buy
to enhance your RV tent anyway.
So a really good option for tourists who want a little bit
more than just the basic RV tent.

this is the RV three plus set up here,
