RV Awning Connectors

G'day Kelly,

Thanks for getting in touch about fitting your Eyre E2 with a Foxwing awning. I've just spoken with Ralph who I think has called Oztent and spoken with you over the phone. Oztent told us they're pretty sure it will fit with the RV-5 awning connector, but if you end up trying it out please let us know so we can help future customers out too!

G'day Mike,

I can picture what you're saying mate. But if you want to physically join them together you will need the Awning Connector because the zips on each awning both have a slider on them and they won't zip together. The connector has the opposing zippers allowing you to join the awnings together. 

G'day Troy,

As you mentioned, you'd have a slight discrepancy with the width of the two tents but you can connect them together using an Oztent RV Awning Connector. 

Good question Lee! 

Set up time is always variable but given that you need to arrange the floor savers, put up each tent, connect the awning connector and add side panels, it might be roughly 20 minutes but would probably speed up with practice.

In relation to the order of setup, we've discussed it and think that perhaps a good approach would be to lay out your first floor saver, erect one tent on this and then connect the awning connector to one side of that.  That will give you an idea of where to place your next floor saver which you can then erect the second tent on.  Then the deluxe sides would be the last thing to setup but I'm sure you'll tailor this method to how it best suits you.

Thanks for sharing, Kiz!

We'd love to see a video.

Hi Max,

You only need one RV Awning Connector to join two RV5’s together, and you can only use one at a time. You put the front edge of the awnings together, and then use the connector to join them up. You can then add the side panels on either side to create one large space.

I hope I’ve answered your question, if you’re still unsure feel free to let me know and I’ll give it another crack! 

G'day Max,

I've just opened one up to confirm, and the Awning Connector also connects down the side so you can also join the side panels.

I'm sorry that I didn't answer part that in my first response, I must have got my wires crossed there. 

Hey Max, 

The awning connector goes all the way around enclosing the area - so your side panels will be connected on the front and back. It's a little hard to see in the picture but I've confirmed this is the case.
