Drifta Upgrades for OZTENT 

Great idea. Thanks for sharing! I'll remember this if anyone asks me.👍

Glad you got some value, Scott 😬Sounds like we have some common interests! Good luck breaking in the Oztent!

Thanks heaps Wade. Comments like this are massively encouraging and uplifting. Sometimes putting together videos can feel like work, but this is the best payment for that trouble. Glad to have you on board.🙏😬

They are a great tent, you won't look back! Glad I could help. Thanks for commenting!😀

Hi John, Sorry for the delay I needed to take a break. Glad you are going the simple route again, most folks tend to the go the other way over time (tent--> trailer --> van). My wife would appreciate the stargazing possibilities from the RV5 Plus, and if you had the fly over the top I think you would see an improvement in condensation (although that's not an issue for us with the RV5 anyway). Happy Oztenting I say! Appreciate your kind encouragement mate🙏. I'm in for the long haul - the next video better than the last, and I'll see where it goes 😬

Thanks Gary, great idea. In the footage shown in the video, I had the camera rolling and captured pulling the peg out naturally - not staged! I misjudged where the hexatarp peg needed to go, so had to pull it out again - but they ground was very hard. There was about 2 mins of wiggling and manipulating before it shows me heaving it out. Great point though, work smarter, and not with your back where possible! Cheers for watching Sir😬

Thanks Drew. 13 years not bad I guess! The Drifta one might see you out...😉

Hi Michael. Thanks for watching mate. Glad it mostly resondated. Neat idea with optimising the ropes to keep the poles secure. Cheers

I've done some deep crossings, but haven't had to activate submarine mode just yet!😬 It's above the roof, below the top of the roof rack. Not sure why it was designed a bit high like that. Hope you are having a good start to 2024 Allan!🍻

Hi Mate, Did the water come in at the back window or around the seams? Wait for a warm day when you are hanging out at home (just tent no fly), set up the 30s part (probs just leave awning rolled up), peg down base if windy, ensure all windows and zips are all closed well. Hose tent, saturating all canvas area, but especially the stitching and around the seams and zips. Let dry a few hours, hose again, etc. Do as many times as practical over a day or two. Fully dry it, pack away ready for next trip. That is what I would do. I am surprised that you got water coming in like that. If a new tent was leaking significantly I would touch base with Oztentor where you bought it. Hey I've used it twice and it's leaking, should I season it or do you think there is something wrong with it? We have either an aluminium step, or a milk crate, to stand on to make sure the zip and velcro is nice and secure for attaching the fly. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes ?👍

Good to know the eyelets are easy. You are the first person I know personally that has done it themself. At times (like when I try to fit everything in the garage...) I feel I've gotten carried away with canvas bags for everything, but for the tent and accessories its truly been excellent. Glad it's served you well too!

It's such a great tent, I reckon others want to get the best use out of it, just like I do. Thanks Jason!

@OTWD definitely. Some great tips there.

There he is! Was thinking about you the other day.. Wondering what you were up to! How about we go into business and you can make the copyrighted Harris Peg, and I will help sell them on the channel? ........Wish I could make stuff like that😅 Yeah the hammer is truly awesome. It has a hook, so you can pull out any old tent peg too.

@@OTWD Haha. Sounds like a plan😁
