OZtrail Tourer 300 Fast Frame Tent

G'day Paul,

The frames on the Tourer Fast Frame and Coleman Instant Up tents are fairly similar, with steel pole sections and plastic hubs and elbows. In terms of the fly material, they're fairly similar, but as you say the full fly on the Instant Up might be a better option in the rain. We've not had much feedback on the Fast frame so it's difficult to say how they perform in wet weather sorry.

G'day Kerrie,

The front awning on the Tourer 300 Fast Frame Tent will need always be extended. There is an internal fabric panel on the front door so you should have fairly adequate weather protection. In comparison to the Coleman Instant Up 6P Tent we'd say this one is a little less flexible in terms of weather options.

G’day Jules,

That’s right, for this season (at least) the 300 size is not available in the Tourer Fast Frame Series.

Just from looking at the sleeping dimensions, it would seem that the 300 is too small as it’s 280L x 280L – so I don’t think you would be able to fit both a queen mattress and two singles in there.

I would recommend cracking out a tape measure and checking the size of your mats (and other gear you want to keep inside your tent) and then perhaps looking at the 420 or 450 and comparing those dimensions to the interior sizes of those tents - as that will give you a better idea of whether it will suit your family.

G'day Joe,

The Fast Frame Tourer range only comes in the 240, 300, 420 and 450 sizes. If you've got your heart set on the 300 plus size, Oztrail do a similar model in the Cruiser Fast Frame range which is a little different in that it is built for tropical conditions, and has a partial fly instead of a full fly. 

G'day Joe,

I've just compared the 2016 and 2017 models from the information provided from the supplier and I've found that there have been a few tweaks and upgrades to the Fast Frame Tourer range.

The floor of the 2017 model has laminated welded corners (as opposed to stitching) on the high stress points of the floor which is an extra layer of protection from water. The material of the floor has changed from Polyethelene to PVC Coated Polyester and the seams are now elevated as well. And, this model now has a clear plastic media storage pouch, wall organizer pocket and loft organiser. 

And as for the 300 plus - far as I can find there is just the 300 size in this range.
