Default What tent do you use?

Just curious what tents people use and if they like them or not

I have an Oztent RV5 its a great tent easy to set up, I have an awning and side pannels that clip onto it for summer shade and winter shelter. The only bad point about this tent is that its bulky to carry but other then that its awsome

12 man Kmart job for me... not as quick to set up, but when we go, we usually stay put for a few nights, so its not that much of a hassle...

Cheers
Rob

I've got an Oztent. Have found it to be really good. The basic tent is quick to put up, but adding all the side panels takes time. Are bulky and for this reason have moved to a TentCot. Only used the TentCot one night in dry weather. Pretty happy with that also.

Cheers

lol... Gotta love it... a genuine mud-blood.

Mine is an Oztent - its up in seconds, then I spend the rest of the time helping everyone else put theirs up (with beer in hand ofcourse).
