Gday Paul. Yeah mate I’m 50 next year. I bloody love it. So much more comfortable. Room to move and Easy set up. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🤙🤠🍺
Great video. The RV3 is a really good tent. I can put it up inc the awning by myself. If you are going to get one, highly recommend getting the fly for it and the annex kit (side panels and front panel). Makes a lovely extra room
Would love to see you leave it as setup in 30secs to sleep and camp with for the duration of your camp. A 30 second tent it is not !!!!!!! I have owned my two oztents for over 15yrs!
I will add though that the 30 second thing is a tad misleading. Yep, you can put the main tent up in 30 seconds for sure, but if you're doing the pegging, annex and fly it will take longer. Probably 15-20 mins for 2 people. It's currently taking me over hour by myself (still getting used to it)
The 30sec tent which takes 15min to put up. I have the RV5 great tent. A spreader bar for front of awning is a great addition keeps nice n taut. Yeah it’s like saying I have a 10 second swag.
Great video mate! I have 2 x RV5's that I have used for the last few years, and I couldn't be happier! I ditched the 3 x 3 Dome (and extension) tent in favour of these. I attach the two together via the awnings, and we have a huge undercover area for when the weathers bad. The only negative would be the 2m long bags, but I have a Patrol with a big roof rack so it's no problem for me. Kids in one, wife & I in the other - works like a charm! Greetings from South Africa!
G,Day Neville. That’s fantastic, mate they’re great tents. Yeah they are long but it’s worth it I reckon. Thanks for watching my channel. Cheers from sunny OZ! 🤙🤠🍺
I've had one for a couple of years and I don't rate it. The '30 second tent' that takes an hour to setup and takedown. The shape is awkward, it's too heavy and way overpriced. It's only suitable for base camp trips. You'll be tearing your hair out if you move everyday. If I had to buy a tent again I'd get a Blackwolf that can at least fit inside your wagon, and not have to be lifted up onto a roof rack and then tied down. While you can set the basic frame up in 30 seconds in reality you should roll out a groundsheet to protect the very thin base material, then the awning poles set up with ropes and pegged down, then you'll need fly attached and another 6 ropes and pegs, then you'll need camp stretchers or a blow up mattress setup, and finally all your bedding and stuff. Frankly not something you'd want to do after a long day on the trail. Unless your camped in one spot for a week or more a RTT is infinetely superior.
I like your setup. But most probably I will use the tent as a living/dining room while the swag as a sleeping platform or bedroom. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for the review mate, we have the kings big daddy deluxe swag on a queen double stretcher, we love it for winter camping, but like you say, Getting older and feel closed in, really interested in the RV3-RV4 for the two of us, and Not at all interested in a RTT, cheers.
Have had our RV3 for 10 years. Best bit of kit we have had. For 4 straight years it was set up semi permanently in all sorts of wind and weather. Quality kit. We leave the fly on as it zips away in bag. Only time we ever had condensation was without the fly in rain. We have all the extra panels too, to make an additional room. This is brilliant but a pain in the backside to set up so only if staying a few nights.
My ass 30 sec i have one and calling it 30sec is like saying i can run 9 sec 100m. And not heavy is just as accurate as saying 30sec tent at over 20kg I have one
Thanks mate. Ive been looking for a solution like this. I have the 30 second awning (Stormchaser) and was about to get the tent they have. Not sure how robust it would be. This looks the goods though. Thanks again
Hi mate. Check out the recent Hay River Track in the Simpson Desert episodes. There are a few shots showing that exactly. It’s pretty easy really. We get the swag and tent up in seconds. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers 🤙
If you lean it on your car, you can use the car to take the weight and push it up from the bottom using the car. Similar taking off, slide it down the car.
I really wish they would make a version that collapses in half the length, I love the idea of this tent but just too freaking long if you don't own a large SUV
Yes. One of the negatives for sure. It has been a great tent though. Takes a bit more than 30 seconds obviously but really happy with it. Thanks for watching.
