G'day Steven,

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, and it's certainly more portable than a larger traditional tarp.
The only thing potentially worth considering is, like alot of tent fly fabrics, etc points on contact can cause some moisture wicking to occur.  
If there was a way you could set the tarp up over the camper that leaves a bit of an air gap, you'd get the best results.

Another idea may be to go over your seams on the Camper with some Aqua Proof

G'day Eric,

Yep!  Absolutely - the Oztrail Hiker Fly sounds perfect for you.

G'day Geoff,

Yep!  I've just triple checked this for you and can confirm the bag is made from the same material as the fly.

G'day Bruce,

The longest spreader bar we sell is 365cm, however, I have seen longer options available through SupaPeg over the years, as they used to do a tarp specific pole kit....depending on what total length you are after I think they come in a square tube to help offset any sagging.
Your best bet would be to contact them here.

G'day 2120,

The Camper Fly is made from a fairly lightweight material so there shouldn't be any need to use springs or bungees on the guy ropes.

G'day Alexander,

The Camper Fly is just one large rectangle, so it's really up to you how to set it up depending on what you're covering, and what you use to secure it. If you have a look at the reviews section and click on customer photos there is a range of photos you can see of the fly set up in various configurations.

G'day Ann,

Oztrail doesn't explicitly specify the waterhead rating on the fabric, however, based on customer reviews and the type of polyester we think it's quite water repellant, and should keep most water out.

G'day Paul,

It probably depends how you're wanting to set the Camper Fly up, if you're looking for a flat top shelter then the 230cm will be long enough. If you're wanting to make an A-frame style shelter then the 275cm poles might suit a little better if you're wanting a higher peak to facilitate water run off.

There are 101 ways that you could set this up, Mavis. If you have well-placed trees then you can tie it off to each tree over your tent. The most common method though is to use awning poles for which there are many versions at differing price ranges, but they are not included with this product.

You can then use the awning poles through the eyelets to support the flysheet and peg it to the ground with the guy ropes. If you add more awning poles you increase the usable area under the fly, but I'd suggest you need two as a minimum.

It will always be a nuisance to do by yourself, Mavis. I'd suggest putting pegs in first, then putting the poles in underneath afterwards. If you have adjustable length poles, you can tighten each one so they stay in place as you put the rest in, then you can go around and make adjustments such as tightening guy ropes or adjusting peg locations afterwards

G'day Mick,

The Camper Fly only has eyelets along the edges, so there is no eyelet in the centre of the fly. You could pop your own eyelet in the very centre with an eyelet kit if you needed, but it will likely become a point that water may seep through.

G'day Kylie,

The Oxley 7 Lite is supplied with its own custom-fit fly. However if you're wanting to add a secondary fly you could try retro-fitting the camper fly, however, the camper fly is really designed as a stand-alone flysheet to pitch with awning poles and create a lightweight shelter.

G'day Beverly,

You can set this up with four or six poles, we'd probably suggest the Supa Peg Big Foot T-Nut Steel Poles in 230cm or something similar depending on how you plan to use it. 

G'day Rebekah,

The Camper Fly is 5.9m long x 3.6m wide and is really designed to add some shelter to your campsite or a little extra protection but unfortunately, it won't suffice to keep you Instant Up tent dry. Using your tent without the fly will also mean that there is no protection or guy ropes stabilising the frame. We'd suggest trying to locate a replacement fly for your tent. If you flick us an email with the exact model you have we can investigate and see if Coleman have one in stock for you.  

G'day Dianne,

The Camper Fly just comes in the one colour that is a Khaki style green.

G'day Dianne,

The Oztrail Camper Fly might be compatible with the Oztrail Tourer 450 depending on what you're planning to do with it. The eyelets won't line up with the poles on the front though so you might need to add some extra eyelets depending on what your plans are.

G'day Stuart,

Great question, the Camper Fly should theoretically work well with your Zenith Ridgeline Camper but it's hard to say without trying it out. We don't sell the zenith so we can't do a trial run for you, but if you can find a way to secure it then it should provide a bit of extra protection.

G'day Todd,

I would say the Camper Fly could be a good option to catch the dew and reduce how wet the tent would get. I can't say we have any experience doing this, but theoretically, we think it would work if you're careful when you pack it up.

G'day Logan,

The Oztrail Camper Fly is a stand alone fly that can be set up as a shelter or a wind break, essentially a large light weight tarp.  You could definately use it with your RV3, but as poles are not included you'll need to make sure you grab some that exceed the 190cm height of the RV3.

As an alternative OzTent make a Fly specifically for the RV series, which you can find here, which zips directy to the RV tent itself.

Hope thats helpful!

G'day G,

The Roman X4 Swift is designed as a sun shelter so it will definitely struggle in the rain. You could rig the Camperfly up over the top of the shelter but it wouldn't be ideal. You might be better looking at a Gazebo that is waterproof and has a waterhead rating.

G'day Fred,

The extra guy rope in the middle of the tarp is there to assist with setting the tarp up in different configurations. You may want to pitch it with a fold at the centre line to create a wall etc. If you're not going to use it you could just untie it and hang onto it as a spare. 

Sure does, Tara, you get a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects with the Camper Fly, if you have any problems then you can just get back in touch with us.

As for returns, there are no problems with changing your mind and you can return any item purchased from us that is still in an as new condition, the only catch is that you will need to cover the return costs back to us.

G'day Niomi,

You're spot on with the width of the eyelets, about 140cm spacing so you could have a 280cm section over the door of the tent and yeah, leave that third centre pole for just the front side. The poles that came with your tent would work fine, but you might want to look at some adjustable ones for the front so you can bring it down lower and allow the water to run off away from the tent. Something like the Supa Peg Big Foot T-Nut Steel Poles should do the trick, they're adjustable from 130cm up to 230cm. I hope this helps!

G'day Robyn,

The Oztrail Camper Fly doesn't have a reflective silver on one side, no. 

G'day Robyn,

I reckon that the Oztrail Camper Fly would be an excellent option! The only other option we could think of would be to use an old-school tarp. 

G'day Monique,

Unfortunately, the holes on the Oztrail Camper Fly don't match up with the Black Wolf Turbo 300. If you wanted to add some eyelets in though, we've got this great video that might help on YouTube.

G'day Rochelle,

The Eyelets on the Coleman Instant Up 10P Gold Series don't line up with the eyelets on the Oztrail Camper Fly, no. You can create your own eyelets though so that it will work. We've made a YouTube video showing you how easy it is! You can check out that video here. 

G'day Isaaac,

The poles aren't included with the Oztrail Camper Fly, so whatever length poles you buy to go with it will be the height. If you wanted it to be a little taller or shorter then you've got the freedom to get the poles that will suit you best!

G'day Andrew,

The included guy ropes with the Oztrail Camper Fly are 3m in length.

G'day David,

Please pass our apologies on to your Mrs that the Oztrail Camper Fly is only available in the brown colour.

G'day Sylvain, 

As long as the poles have a spigot/spike on the end then they'll be suitable for setting up the Camper Fly.

G’day John,

The length of the Oztrail camper fly has three eyelets spaced approximately 140cm apart, that start approximately 145cm in from the edge (there are no eyelets on the corners instead there are guy ropes). 

The width of the fly has a catenary (curved) edge with one eyelet in the middle which sits approximately 175cm in from the edge of the fly. 

G’day Nui,

The Oztrail Camper Fly does not come with the poles included, so if you were to get some that were the correct height then you could definitely use this fly to shelter the entrance of your Instant Up 8 Tent.

The Instant Up 8P from Coleman has a maximum height of 1.9m, so you would want poles that would extend up to that height and over like the 230cm size Alloy Pole Spigot from Poles Apart. As for stability – you can definitely pitch the Camper fly with four poles, but it will be a bit stabler with six.  

G'day Isabella,

The Oztrail Camper Fly does come in it's own bag, but it's made from the same type of material as a tent - so it's not particularly thick.

If you were keen on getting a slightly sturdier bag, the Oztrail Steel Pole Bag is very long so it's not going to be the best one (unless you'd like to store the fly + other gear in there). A much better fit is the Oztrail Dome Pole Bag as it's much shorter.

As for the poles, the Oztrail Galvanised Extension Pole 9' is a good option, or you could go for the Poles Apart T/Nut Pole if you wanted something a little sturdier. As long as the poles have a spigot/spike on the end then they'll be suitable for setting up the Camper Fly. 

Hi Philip, you could get away with using four poles, one on each corner, but for maximum stability six poles - so three sets of two - would be ideal.

Hi David, Your idea could potentially work, though you'd need to buy adjustable poles which would be able to extend over the 2.1m height of the tent. This may also be difficult to set up if you are by yourself, as you would be trying to hold poles up and hammer in pegs at the same time. The other thing to think about is also the length of the actual material. This is fine until you peg down the ends which would cut some of that length down and might make it so you exit your tent by walking straight into the side of the fly. Or you could just set up the fly over the entrance of your tent rather than trying to run it down the length of your tent. The other option is a deluxe compact gazebo. This would fit over the entrance to your tent and would also provide a nice cooking space for a gas stove. Give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 if you'd like to have a further chat about potential setups.

Hi Andrew. When it comes to the crunch, this fly and a regular tarp will provide the same protection from pain and shade, but a regular tarp will probably resist UV damage better for long term set ups. The benefits of the Camper fly is that the fabric is a little lighter and easier to handle, and the edges have a catenary (or curved) cut which eliminates flapping along the edges. As for this covering a Turbo tent, it will require some trial and error and it may be a little awkward setting up a tarp over such a large tent. You would need to create a peak somewhere so water does not pool in flat unsupported areas, and eliminating the centre pole would create a long strip of fabric without support (I assume you have a Turbo Twin?). I've never been asked for a tarp to go over the top of a large Turbo Tent, so I couldn't recommend a best practice sorry, but in this instance both a tarp and the Camper Fly will achieve a similar result....One last thought, a heavy duty tarp has thin rope sewn into the edges and would provide a little more strength so you can pull it tight over your Turbo, this combines with some strong steel poles and heavy duty pegs may be the best solution. Check out the Kookaburra Dura Green Tarps on our website.

Hi Michael, The Oztrail Camper Fly comes with 8 guy ropes and 12 pegs, but doesn't come with poles. We sell several different types of poles, but the easist choice for this setup is the Oztrail Awning Pole set for $17.95. It includes 2 poles per set and reaches a height of 180cm. They come in three sections which are all connected with a wire running down the centre. 2 packets with the fly will get you sorted, unless you're taller than 180cm. You can use the Snowys code #23372 to search for these on our website .

This is rectangular Bruce at 5.6 m long and 3.6 m wide. From memory the ends have a catenary (curved) cut which helps to keep the edges tight so there is no flapping. As for poles and guy ropes, anything with a spigot (or spike) of the end will fit through the eyelets, and any guy ropes with a loop to fit over the spigot will work. Check out product codes 22642 and 23052 on our website.

Hi Bruce, further to my response yesterday, I have noticed that the Camper Fly comes with guy ropes, this has obviously been a silent addition to this product, I'm not sure just when Oztrail included them with the Camper Fly. Sorry for any confusion.
