But what happens when your OzTent gets wet?

I think you will find it easier than you imagine. I have loaded a wet RV4 into the Ozpod on an 80 Series with a 2" lift, and whilst it was a bit of a struggle, I got there.l I am not a muscle man, but did not find it that hard. RV3, being smaller will be a little lighter. I also "think" the fabric in these tents does not hold water in the way that canvas does, so being wet does not mean it will be significantly heavier. That is my opinion based on my own observations, and others more enlightened will certainly correct me if I am mistaken.

Hi Skull

Well the good news first......you will stay as dry as. We have had over 110mm of rain dumped on us on our RV4 over on KI a couple of year ago. Next morning there was a water ring of grass over 5cm high completely around the tent, and not one single drop of water inside the tent.

The next morning there was a slight breeze and it did not take long to dry the tent. I have loaded our tent many times by myself, just lean it against the side of the car, and then lift it up onto the cross bars.


Keep dry and get a few photos of the storm and put it up tomorrow.


Cheers

Thanks guys.

So far so good.

Thanks all,

Packed up dry after a night of storms nearby. Nice to know the Oz tent doesn't add weight when it's wet.

Cheers

I cut a section out of my Roof rack (special made rack just over 2 metres to fit the tent) and installed a "roller" on an axle. I lean the RV4 against it and up she goes. Easy, wet or dry.
