Our Analysis & Ratings

The Oztent RV5 is a very well constructed classic touring tent that will hold up to the elements and stand the test of time. The extremely simple push and lock setup is a great feature. The packed size of 2m means you need a roof rack or trailer to get it around which we don't like and we prefer a symmetrical shape, but overall this is a solid well-built tent that’s near unbeatable on setup time.

Comfort - A mid size tent with a single large size room. Aluminium frame on the floor and slope on one side give it an unsymmetrical feel but it is a big size room. Can feel a bit dark inside.

Construction - This is where Oztent shines. Canvas, strong grade aluminium frame and good quality PVC flooring. Will stand up to the elements and last.

Features - Very easy to set up, lots of ventilation and window configuration options. Power access point and two small storage pockets provide all the basic features we’d need to be comfortable.

Size/Weight - Sleeping size of 6.8sqm, weight of 25kg and head height of 190cm. There was enough room to comfortably fit a queen and a single air bed, so no problem with the sleeping space - as we’ve said, our big knock on this is the packed size is 2m long so most people will need a roof rack or trailer to transport it.

Versatility - Easy to set up touring tent if you are moving around a lot. For basic camping it does the job but we prefer a symmetrical space.

Overall - Great for touring (roof rack required).
