G'day Danae,

No, you are unable to connect the RV and RX tents, the RX range has been designed as a stand-alone tent with it's own built-in living room. Unfortunately due to the zip configuration, there is no way to connect them to a tent from the RV range.

G'day Matthew,

It can't be, sorry.  The RV accessories are not compatible with the RX system due to differing zips and configurations.  The RX tent and panels system is designed as a standalone, complete set.

G'day Emre,

Check out the You Might Also like section for a link to recommended Oztent awning poles - otherwise the Supa Peg Aluminium Tent Poles in the 230cm size will be a good alternative.

G'day Chad,

Whilst you may be able to fit 2 x queen camp mats in, depending on the brand, you're not able to fit 2 x queen stretchers due to the taper of the wall and the amount of space you lose at stretcher height.  
If you are wanting to fit 4-5 people in the main tent, the only way to do this is with camp mats on the floor, or potentially low rise stretchers.  Whilst we haven't tried it out in real life, measurements suggest you'd just be able to fit 2 x low-rise stretchers in.

G'day Steve,

Yes, the RX-5 is pretty much the only higher durability option (canvas), that has a built-in/zip-in floor currently on the market.

The Blackwolf Turbo Tents have side and front panels, but no built in floor. You can add a screen room to the front awning of the Turbo Tent range, however you do end up with a bit more in the way of bags to carry, and set up time.

Hopefully this helps the decision making!

G'day Andrew,

There shouldnt' be any need to season the RX5 tent, they come fully seam sealed and with a waterproof internal coating.
Hope that helps!

G'day Chris,

No, it's not.  The RX series is made with an exclusive modified canvas.  The RS-1 is made of basically the same kind of canvas as the RV series.
Hope that helps.

G'day Brendan,

The internal measurement between the frame on the sides is actually 2.55m.  It is common to have 2 x double mat combos in the RV5 though, including mats around the 1.3-4m mark, so just be aware there will be a few cm on the center of the outer edge of each mat the will get a bit pushed in.
This can also be significantly improved with the tent pegged out and tensioned well.

No, the zips run in opposite directions to the RV5 which means the accessories for one dont work for the other. 

G'day Amanda,

You'll be fine with two double-height inflatable beds with the dimensions you've indicated. There is enough extra depth in the rear of the tent to account for the height of your mattresses.

G'day Anthony,

Yes, you can set up the RX-5 Tent with the awning in a flat configuration. In this configuration, you just won't be able to attach the front panel system.

G'day Van,

Oztents ModCan fabric used in their RX series is waterproof, windproof, mould resistant & flame resistant.
Hope that helps.

G'day Sue,

We've had this question before and received the following info from Oztent:
The Oztent RV Caravan & Sail Track Connector is not compatible with the RX Tent.
As the RX is a stand-alone model and is separate from the RV series, it has different zip configurations.
Unfortunately, there is no sail track connector available for the RX tents.

G'day John,

Yep, absolutely.  Apart from being a different colour and having a different fiber composition, side by side it's hard to pick which one is better.  They're both the same thickness, both ripstop & both very strong.
Hope that helps.

G'day Matt,

An RX5 tent is a good option for families of 4 if you've got young kids. Generally, 3 single mattresses or two singles and a double will give the best sleep space options. Once the kids are older than around 5, we'd generally recommend 2 RV5s, that way you can set up the kids in one, and the adults in the other, connecting the front awnings to each other.

G'day Jo,

I've you've got a bit of grit I cant see why not, although you may have some challenges on the first few goes until you work out a set up process thats right for you.
The tent itself should be no worries, but the peaked panel system my be a bit tricky.  I think you're best chance of success would be to zip the walls and roof before putting the peak poles up to their full height.
If you have a hardy step in your kit like this one to give you a leg up, that would also be beneficial!

G'day Paul,

The RV/RX 5 Mesh Floor saver will be the perfect fit!

G'day Elizabeth,

The Oztent RV Pro Travel Case is the best bet, it's not officially 'waterproof' like a tent would be, but it is designed for full weather protection whilst on the roof rack!
Its compatible with all Oztent RV, RX, SV and RV Lite tents.

G'day Crystal,

We don't currently have an RX-5 on display at our Brendale store, but we do have an RV-4 on display, which should give you a pretty good idea of the size and layout of the tent.

G'day Bernard,

Absolutely, that particular size is compatible with RV5/RV5 Plus/RX5 tents.
Hope that helps!

G'day Stu,

Yes, the RX-5 front panel is one large modular panel that wraps around the entire front of the tent, so it's a little different to the RV panels that fit individual sides.

G'day Kalvin,

No, the Oztent RX 4 and 5 do not hav an additional zip on the front end of the awning, meaning only the front wall can be attached.
The front wall has been designed to have a single canvas flap which can set up as am awning to account for this.

G'day Jem,

Unfortunately, you're not able to connect the RX5 to the Foxwing awning due to the zipper configuration for the front modular living room of the RX-5.

G'day John,

The Carry Bag isn't waterproof, however, it is somewhat water-resistant so it will probably be ok in light showers, but not in continual rain.

G'day Simon,

You'll struggle to fit five stretchers in the RX-5. The rear section of the tent will really only fit two stretchers in side by side, with a space down the middle, due to the pitch of the back of the tent. If you used a double bunk in the living room section of the tent, as well as a smaller stretcher then you could possibly fit all 5 of you, but it won't really be a comfortable fit. We tend to find that families of 5 are better suited to getting 2 x RV5 tents, connecting their awnings, and then using side panels to enclose a large central living space. 

G'day Casey,

Unfortunately not, the RX range has been designed as a stand-alone tent with it's own built-in living room. Unfortuantely due to the zip configuration, there is no way to connect them to a tent from the RV range.

G'day Renee,

I've had a look at Oztent's website and the Rx-5 is only available to purchase as a package. They haven't made the front section or floor available to purchase separately.

G'day Scott,

The main purpose of the fly is to reduce condensation, so it covers the rear section which is designed to be used as the bedroom. The front section is designed as a living space, so generally won't be in use overnight when condensation occurs. The ModCan Canvas is waterproof and has a 2000mm Waterhead rating.

G'day PJM,

Unfortunately not, the RX-5 hasn't been designed to connect to other RX or RV tents. The zip trackers don't match up, so they're just designed to be used by themselves. If you're wanting to connect two tents to each other then the RV-5s might be a slightly better option for your needs.

G'day Juls,

Yes, the RV5/RX5 floor is designed to fit both the RV5 and RX5 tents. 

G'day Dan,

Yes, you can use the front room of the RX-5 as a second bedroom as it has a zip in tub floor. The Turbo 450 might give you a little more flexibility, but both options are good.

G'day Sam,

The Tear Aid Type A Fabric Repair Tape will do the trick no problems, just put tape on the inside and the outside of the tent like a sandwich.  Alternatively if you're loving the repair patches just grab yourself some Gear Aid Seam Grip WP Sealer & Adhesive, that will see you right.

G'day Pat,

Yes, you can set up the RX-5 without attaching the front living room space. The front awning is part of the tent (like the RV) and can be left rolled up or pegged out flat for a quick set up. 

G'day Jonathan,

You can fit two king goanna stretchers in the RX5, if you head over to the RV5 product page and have a look at the features video (5:00 min mark) Ben pops a couple of these stretchers in the RV5 (same sleeping size space as the RX5). That will give you a good idea of how they'll fit with the sloped rear section of the tent. Unfortunately they're a little long to comfortable fit in the RX4.

G'day Ash,

I've called Oztent to clarify and they've indicated that the ModCan Canvas isn't treated with a chemical to make it flame retardant. They indicated that the fabric itself has been designed to stop the spread of fire if an ember/spark was to fall on the tent.

G'day Chris,

Technically the bag isn't completely waterproof, but it will keep most water out, just maybe not torrential rain. Most of our customers store them on the roof and haven't reported any troubles. 

G'day Matte,

The RX-5 comes with enough poles to peak the front awning, but if you're wanting to open up the extra awning on the front wall you'll need to grab another set of Alloy Poles

G'day Dave,

I've had a chat to Oztent and they have assured me the tent can be used without the front panel system. It won't affect the structural integrity in any way!

G'day Clinton,

There won't be space to pack the from panel system and floor in the same bag as the RX-5. There is a separate bag for the extra accessories that is much smaller so could be packed in a vehicle rather than a roof rack.

G'day Jodie,

Yes, the Rx-5 is a full package deal and includes the fly, tent, tub floor and complete panel system.

G'day Daniel,

Unfortunately, the Oztent RX-5 and RV5 Tents have their zippers running in opposite directions, so you can't mix and match the accessories between the two. 

G'day Reid,

I've just had a chat with the folks at Oztent and they told me that unfortunately it wouldn't work as the RX-5 and RV5 Touring Tents have their zips running in opposite directions. That will mean that the Tagalong won't be able to zip on to the RX-5. 

G'day Tom,

You'll have no worries at all using the fly from the Oztent RX-5 Tent with your RV5, they're essentially the same size and shape as each other. 

G'day Beth,

The zippers on the Oztent RX-5 Touring Tent are different to the RV5. So you can't use an RX front room on an RV, unfortunately. 

G'day Matt,

This isn't feedback that we've received at all about the Oztent RX-5 Touring Tent but that's not to say that other's haven't had that experience. The RX-5 does come with taller poles that allow you to pitch your awning, they also come with a crossbar too. 

G'day Norman,

Becuase the Oztent RX-5 Touring Tent is built on the base of the RV5, it's got similar features and can have side awnings attached just like the RV5 can. 

We've had to come back and correct ourselves here sorry.

The latest information from Oztent is that the only RV accessory that is compatible with the RX Tents whilst the panel system is attached is the mesh floor saver. The Awning Connectors and Tagalong Tents can also be attached, but the panel system will need to be removed in order for this to work. 

Apologies for any confusion.

G'day Michael,

Sorry for the confusion. We're not taking into account the Oztent money back promo with our pricing. So you can buy your RX-5 Touring Tent at the discounted price and then get a further $300 back from Oztent by claiming it back from them. 

G'day Alison, 

Both the original Oztent 8Oz canvas and their new Modcan material are hardwearing and reliable fabrics. However, according to Oztent the Modcan material actually has more mass than their 8 Oz canvas. It also has double the tensile strength, is more water resistant, has twice the UPF rating, and is fire retardant.

If we had to nitpick a potential downside to the newer Modcan material, it would be that as it is a synthetic it may be a little less breathable in warmer weather, but we are yet to get feedback on this and have no other reason to recommend one fabric over the other.

Unfortunately, the RX zippers run on opposite directions to the RV tents, so you can't join two RX tents together, nor can you join an RX with an RV tent.

G'day Rick,

We've currently got an Oztent RX-4 Touring Tent on display in Brendale but not the RX-5. You should get a pretty good idea of the tent by looking at the smaller size. If you'd like to see the RX-5 or any other tent setup, please give us a buzz and we will see if we can get it up for you before you come into the store. 

G'day Gavin,

The Oztent RV Mesh Floor Savers are designed to fit both the RV & the RX Touring Tent ranges. Just grab the RV5 model and you'll be laughing!https://www.snowys.com.au/rv-mesh-floor-savers

G'day Nathan,

The bag that comes with the Oztent RX-5 Touring Tent is a material that isn't dust or waterproof. I'd suggest that it probably wouldn't say a lengthy amount of time on the roof if you were going touring for a long time. 

G'day Nathan,

I've just checked the main tent bag and the measurement comes out at 209cm, so I'll get that updated on our listing now.
