RV3 Canvas Touring Tent

G'day Nadine,

The Oztent Foxwing Tagalong tent (direct attachment) or the RV5 (using an awning connector) are designed to be connected to the  Oztent Foxwing 270' awning. However the RV3 could be attached using an awning connector, however it won't reach the full length of the side, so if you're pairing it with side walls there will be a large gap between the edge of the tent and the next wall.

G'day Jane,

I think it would be fine to have the mats in the doorway and during the day they can be pushed to one side if needed. Ideally though its better that nothing touches the sides of the tent, mainly due to rain and condensation reaching your mattresses. 

G'day Gemma,

You may have a bit of trouble, not just with the flexing of the tent but just general safety whilst travelling.  Alot of our customers who transport their RV Tents on roof racks do get a custom base plate made, but you'd really be best getting intouch with a local roof rack specialist. They'll be able to advise on the next step with your specific set up.

G'day Karl,

Your King Goanna Stretcher will fit in either the Oztent RV2 Tent or Oztent RV3 Tent but it won't really work inside an Oztent RS1 Swag. If it's just going to be you, I'd recommend the RV2. It's got plenty of room for one person. 

G'day Jack,

You should be fine to connect either the RV3 Tent or Tagalong Tent to anything with a sail track that you can slide the Oztent Caravan Connector into. The tent awning will then just zip onto the connector. If you want to attach an RV tent or Tagalong Tent to your Foxwing you'll need the Oztent RV Awning Connector instead to zip the two together.

G'day Margaret,

We haven't made an RV3 video to demonstrate this, but we do have a video of our staff member Ben setting up the Oztent RX4 Tent. You can watch it by clicking here. These are basically a fancy version of an RV Tent so it should give you a pretty good idea of how easy this will be on your own. Whilst they can be pitched in 30secs, by the time you get everything like the velcro pole tabs, pegs and guy ropes and any optional accessories sorted out you're probably realistically looking at around 5 mins plus depending on experience. The more you use it the faster you'll get! 

G'day Wayne,

If your awning has a C-Channel, then you'll be able to use the Oztent RV Caravan Connector to connect your RV3 Canvas Touring Tent to your awning. 

G'day Matt,

I think you may have had a typo there, sorry mate! Which RV did you want me to compare with the 3, the 2 or the 4?

G'day Mick,

Generally speaking, yes, the fabric of the Oztent RV is very breathable.

Condensation is naturally dependent on a range of variables, but overall, the RV performs very well.

G'day Cheryl, 

I've just spoken with Oztent, and they've said that the waterproof coating on the fabric of the RV3 tent will also provide you with some UV protection, but it will have some limitations over time so that's something to keep in mind. 

G'day Glen,

Yes the C-Gear Multimat would be fine as a robust ground sheet for the RV3 Canvas Touring Tent. It comes in various sizes including 2.4m x 4.3m, and is the ultimate groundsheet for this tent.

It is made from dual layer woven synthetic fibre and includes a heavy duty carry bag. This mat will definately help protect your tent investment from damage from below. Cheers!

Hi Jen,

As far as we can understand it, it sounds like this may not be an ideal set up in terms of safety. We would recommend that you contact a roof rack manufacturer about your set up, as they will have the expertise to advise you on what would be the best option.  

G’day Jen, I’ve spoken to our caravanning expert and he has told me that because of the size of your car/roof racks you will have an issue strapping an RV3 on car. You may need longer roof racks or borrow a bigger car from a friend. The RV1 is shorter, so it would fit your set up better - but that would be a huge downsize. It may be best to go back to the retailer that you purchased your racks from (as we don’t sell roof racks) – as they might be able to recommend a better storage solution for you.
