Fast to set up, spacious, and made with high-quality fabrics and components – the Oxley Fast Frame 7 from Oztent is a robust tent for the whole family.
This tent is made from Oztent’s waterproof ripstop poly-cotton canvas – the same tried and tested material that they’ve been using for the past 17 years. There are No-See-Um mesh fly screens to keep insects out, and a heavy-duty heat-sealed PVC tub floor for protection from the ground up. The fly is included with this tent, which helps to keep condensation at bay in chilly conditions and will keep your space cooler in warm weather. For airflow, the Oxley has a passive ventilation system which allows air flow for a more comfortable interior.
Space is a premium when camping with a family, and this tent comes with a 2.2m pull out extension for extra room. To set up the tent, pop up the centre hub to lock it, and then pull and lock the legs into place. When packing down, just pull down the centre hub and the legs will easily collapse. The extra-large awning provides extra space for relaxing under, and it can be closed off with additional walls for extra weather protection and privacy.
And when you’re kicking back in your tent, you can slot most devices into the integrated media pocket to watch your favourite movie. A versatile and high-quality family tent that be extended for extra space, you can’t go wrong with the Oxley Fast Frame 7 from Oztent.
Hi, Do you know of a panel set that is compatible with the Oxley 7 as it now is disappointingly impossible to find the panels designed for the the Oxley. Thanks
Rob - Adelaide(4 years ago)
G'day Rob,
Unfortunately, there are no longer panels available for the Oxley tents. Oztent has discontinued this model and discontinued the panel accessories too.

Why has OzTent discontinued the Oxley Range1 answer
It appears that OzTent have stopped making this tent. Is that correct? Was there any design faults or other issues that you are aware of? Do this mean replacement parts will be difficult to source?
David - 2079(4 years ago)
G'day David,
We're not too sure why Oztent has discontinued this model, but I assume they're focussing their energy on the more popular RV and RX ranges. We've had a little bit of feedback from customers that it's hard to get back in the bag, but apart from that most people have reported that they like the tent. It is likely that parts will be harder to come by over the next few years.

How dark is it inside during daylight?1 answer

Tim - Thornbury (4 years ago)
G'day Tim,
The Oxley 7 Canvas Tent is a fairly light coloured canvas so it should block out a little more light than a polyester tent, but it won't block out light like a Darkroom style tent will.

Hi, how does the locking hub and legs hold up in heavy winds and rain? 1 answer
Does it rely solely on cam locks or is there a way to manually lock them? Also does this tent require seasoning before use? Cheers
Kim - Port Hedland(4 years ago)
G'day Kim,
The Oxley 7 Canvas Touring Tent doesn't have manual locking hubs, they lock themselves out under the correct tension. Oztent do indicate the tent is only waterproof with the fly on, and that all tents require pegging and roping out the tent to ensure they stay stable in variable weather conditions. The user manual doesn't indicate whether they require seasoning, however, based on experience, we generally suggest seasoning any canvas product before its first use.

Is the "pull out extension" able to not be pulled out? ?1 answer
The description mentions that the back bedroom is a pull out extension, but from the pics and video it appears to be part of the tent. Is it possible to put the tent up properly without having the extension out for when in campsites where space is restricted?
Steve - Sydney(4 years ago)
G'day Steve,
The Oxley 7 Tent must be set up in its entirety to ensure it is stable and secure, so, unfortunately, you won't be able to just use the front section of the tent.

Do you sell the side/front panels for the awning?1 answer
Please provide the links if you do.
Andrew - Cheltenham(4 years ago)
G'day Andrew,
At this stage, Oztent are yet to release the panel systems on to the market. We don't have a definitive answer, unfortunately, but we're hoping Oztent get them out sometime in the new year. You can check them out on the Oztent site here.

Spreader Pole and Extension Poles1 answer
Hello Snowys, do you sell the extra spreader pole and extension pole necessary to create a peak in the awning?
We currently have the rhino rack base tent/tag-a-long tent combo but are getting frustrated by the need to have to hook it up to the car every time we use it. We were looking at the RX-4 tent until we saw this which seems to be very similar but at a much lower price (currently). What would the comparison be between this and the RX-4 given size/weight/portability and would there be a reason to select one over the other?
Mark - Warnbro(5 years ago)
G'day Mark,
The RX-4 Tent is a great option that doesn't need the vehicle awning to pitch from, they are stand alone so might be a better option than your Rhino Tent. The Oxley 7 Canvas Tent would also be a good option, but slightly different configuration, so it would be worth giving us a call and chatting through the options for your family size.

Does the tent need to be seasoned before sue1 answer
Just ordered a oxely 7 from you
Luke - Rockinham(5 years ago)
G'day Luke,
We'd generally suggest seasoning any canvas product before you use it but Oztent doesn't explicitly indicate this on the Oxley. If you have the time to season to before you head away you could season it, but you don't have to season it.

Enough room for stretchers1 answer
Would this tent fit two oztent stretchers in the main compartment and one in the back?
Jim - Melbourne(5 years ago)
G'day Jim,
You'll be fine fitting a few stretchers in the front room of an Oztent Oxley 7 Touring Tent and another in the back room. Even the bigger Oztent King Goanna Stertcher would be fine in there.
Tim - Snowys(5 years ago)
Awning Connector1 answer
Can this tent use the awning connector that oztent has with the RV range?
Thanks
Tim - Perth(6 years ago)
G'day Tim,
Unfortunately, you can't use the RV Awning Connector for the Oztent Oxley 7 Canvas Touring Tent but they are bringing out one for the Oxley Range Shortly, I believe.

Display1 answer
HI. I'm really interested in this tent, but I would like to see it first. Do you have one on display in South East Queensland somewhere?
Mee - North Lakes(6 years ago)
G'day Mee,
We have a store in Brendale, in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. They'd be able to set up an Oztent Oxley 7 Canvas Touring Tent for you to look at. We'd just ask that you give us a buzz before you pop in so that we can have it ready for you as it's not currently on display.

Tarp to use under oxley 71 answer
Hi, id like to purchase a mesh tarp for under our oxley7. What size/branddo you suggest?
Melissa - Brunswick East(6 years ago)
G'day Melissa,
I think the best way to go for your Oztent Oxley 7 Canvas Touring Tent would be to look at the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp. We don't have a size that will perfectly line up with your tent but would suggest either the 8 x 20 ft, which would be a touch too thin width wise, or the 20 x 16 ft option which will be a bit too wide. If you opt for the "too wide" option, you can always fold it down under the tent.

Comparison to BlackWolf Turbo series1 answer
Hi. I’m really interested in knowing how the Oxley 7 compares to the Blackwolf Turbo 240 Plus or Turbo 300 Plus. It seems to be sized halfway between the two, but I’m really interested in the quality and durability difference. They all seem to be made of the same canvas, but the Oxley is using a PVC base. How does that compare to the base of the Black Wolfs? Also, does the Oxley have the same range of accessories?
Aaron - Melbourne(6 years ago)
Good question Aaron.
You are right in that the size of the Oxley 7 sits right in between the Turbo 240 Plus and the Turbo 300 Plus. In terms of durability, we don't have a lot of feedback on the Oxley tents yet as they are much newer than the Turbo Tents. However, on close inspection, the build quality appears to be very comparable, with the main difference being that the Oxley has a much more durable PVC floor than the Turbo Tents. The downside of this is that it takes a little more effort to roll away into the bag. Black Wolf moved away from using a PVC base for this reason, but it left a gap in the market for people wanting this super heavy-duty floor.
Regarding accessories, Black Wolf Turbo Tents are the clear winner here with their range of sidewalls, screen rooms and add-ons. The Oxley will have a Complete Panel System available soon that encloses the front awning, but I don't know what Oztnet's plans are for further accessories. The Oxley also has a larger awning that is attached to the inner tent, so you can use this even without the flysheet attached, whilst the Turbo tents have a peaked awning as standard that is slightly smaller but offers better rain-shedding properties.
I couldn't recommend one over the other sorry, we have confidence in the quality of both, and both offer excellent after sales back-up of their products with spare parts.
