RV FEATURE
The materials and construction of the OzTent RX-5 are clearly high quality . This tent is made for serious camping , from the High Country to Purnululu National Park .
The main thing to be aware of is that it does not pack down into a small bag . Instead , it folds away into a heavy-duty carry bag . In this state , it measures 2.02x0.27x0.38m – quite long , in other words . It ’ s unlikely to fit inside your vehicle – you ’ ll need to think about how you ’ re going to transport it . It also weighs almost 25kg , so getting it onto the roof rack is preferably a two-person job .
That said , I have been immensely pleased with this tent . When setup , it measures 2.6x2.6x1.9m and is said to sleep five people .
In truth , it would be a squeeze with five inside , especially if everyone was sleeping on stretcher beds – two adults on an air mattress and one child on a stretcher bed is quite realistic , however .
All that said , the quality of this tent really is hard to fault . It feels particularly secure , even in high winds and storms , and I ’ ve come to appreciate how well thoughtout it is .
At $ 1529.99 , it ’ s certainly not the cheapest tent on the market but so far , it ’ s one of the best I ’ ve ever owned or used .
