RV Caravan Connectors

G'day Robert,

Sorry it's taken a little while to get back to you on this one, it's not an overly straight forward question to be honest. Unfortunately this won't work for you based on the zipper locations for the various accessories. The awning walls you've got don't have zipper pulls, just the zip themselves. The caravan connector has a zipper pull on it (for a front wall attachment when used with the Oztent RV range), however the zipper pull is on the opposing side to the awning wall. Theoretically this could work if the caravan connector, or awning wall are attached upside down, but it's something we'd be comfortable recommending. The sail track on the RV5CC is 7mm. Hopefully this helps.

G'day Phil,

The Caravan connector can only be attached directly from the sail track on your 4wd awning to the zip on the Awning of the RV tent. There is no zip on the RV tent for the connector to attach to.

G'day Cilla,

The Rv Caravan connector is just the small piece that connects the awning from the RV tent directly to the sail track on your caravan. I'm not too sure what you're referring to in regard to eyelets for tent poles, as the eyelets are part of the tent awning itself. Maybe give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 if this doesn't make sense and we can chat through some options.

G'day Tim,

I've just double checked the zip tracker on the front of the RV tent awning and there is only one, so you'll only be able to attach the Caravan Connector, or the Front Wall, but not both. 

G'day Luke,

Thanks for getting in touch. Something that we didn't realise at the time we answered this question was that there were two zippers on the caravan connector itself. So to clarify, yes you can set up the caravan connector and front wall simultaneously as per the video Ben has recently filmed.

The caravan connector has about 30cm of fabric between the sail track connection and the zipper that connects to the awning, Phe. The side walls finish at this point too, so as long as you set the tent up so this is butt up against your van then you won't have many gaps, but you will have sealed the top gap from water ingress.

G'day Jackie,

You can leave the RV Caravan Connector attached but it will flap around if you go for a drive. The best option would be to detach the connector from your tent awning, slide the awning connector out of the sail track and then roll back and secure the tent awning.

G'day Bron,

The RV Caravan Connectors will connector to your van using the sail track so it shouldn't be a problem to use with your Jayco Heritage.

G'day Chris,

I've just called Oztent to check this for you because I didn't know. They've confirmed that you can use an Ozten RV Caravan Connector on your Oztent Eyre Tent.

G'day Steve,

Unfortunately, the awning of the RV5 is stitched on so it's unable to be removed. To connect an RV5 to a Foxwing, you will need to use the awning and then an additional Oztent Awning Connector available here. Or as you've already pointed out, use the Tagalong which while unfortunately a little smaller, is better designed for your idea.

We've gotta come back and potentially correct ourselves here.

We are yet to physically try this but I think the direction of the zippers won't allow this to happen. The Tagalong is made to zip directly to the awning of an RV tent with the same zipper that the Caravan Connector joins. Flipping the Caravan Connector around to attach it to the Tagalong Tent means that the zipper will be starting on the opposite side/end.

We are yet to test this and will do once logistics allow, but in the meantime, we'd love to hear from anyone else who has tried to connect their Oztant Tagalong Tent to a 4WD awning with the Caravan Connector.
