OZtrail RV Shade Awning Tent Review
The OZtrail RV Shade Awning Tent is a fully enclosed awning tent that can sleep up to 4 people that can be attached to all SUV’s, RV’s and 4×4 vehicles.
The setup is pretty straightforward. Once your top awning is setup up, you can layout the tent and start attaching clipping the C-shaped clips to the poles. The straps on the tent are adjustable so you can properly erect the tent.
There are 2 side windows with mesh and privacy panels and 2 large entrances in the front and rear of the tent. The entrance at the back is quite big so you can open the car door fully and enter your vehicle with ease.
It is 2.5m in length and 2.1m wide. Taller people won’t have to slouch in this tent as it has a head height of 1.7m. If the head height isn’t enough for you, you can unzip the extension gusset at the base of the tent to add another 10cm to the height.
The OZtrail RV Shade Awning Tent’s floor is made of waterproof polyester fabric. I’d still suggest that you bring along a mattress or sleeping bag in the tent in case you want to spend the night.
This is an affordable tent that’s ideal to bring along public camping grounds or during spring and summer trips.
Pros
Easy setup – the setup is very simple and easy you can have the tent up in 5 minutes. The pack up is easy as well. Just take out the pegs and unclip the hooks and you’re all done.
Extension gusset –The extra 10cm of height that you can get from the extension gusset is great. It goes to show that the OZtrail brand keep their taller clients in mind making this tent.
Affordable – The OZtrail RV shade awning tent would be a great entry level tent if you wish to try an awning tent.
Cons
Not entirely weatherproof – Tthe OZtrail RV Shade Awning tent’s floor is waterproof but cannot say the same for the tent’s walls. It would fair well against a few droplets of rain but water might seep in the tent during the event of a thunderstorm.
