Oztent repairs

sounds like a lot of work for a $40 savings...

Think I would have just paid the fifty bucks and be done for it...

besides, what are locking things anyway?

Usually I dont have the choice to dry tent out, as the barge is usually leaving that im booked on and its pouring rain as we pack the tent up..

its always ok, just needs to be aired out for a bit the next time you put it up...and lately that next time is the next time I go camping....

Go to www.oztent.com.au and see the tents for yourself

"sounds like a lot of work for a $40 savings"...

$40 saved is fuel in the tank to go somewhere.

Ahhh the luxury of retirement hey Willem. Time to stop and think about how to fix instead of just go and buy it. Well done, I will keep it in my mental storage system if ever I have the same problem.

$40 saving's a carton of bleep and a pack of smokes! Good on ya mate, at least there are still some people out there who still use their nogan! Good work, even if you put the $$$ aside it's a good feeling when you fix somthing yourself .

Reading this and thinking the same thing. LOL

incontinence perhaps??????????????????????????????????

You lot may just be left off the PP Juice list next time you pass by.

I will not respond to allegations as I may incriminate myself lol

G'day GEG

You seem to have some problem with Oztents for some reason.

I'm sure Willem will get back to you with his own version of why he likes his Oztent but I'll give you mine as a Oztent owner.

They are, as advertised but not in such laymans terms, "an absolute piece of pish to use". They come in a bag that they actually fit back into,plus groundsheet and assorted bits. It sits nicely on my roofrack and when I want to use it, it does actually takes about 3 minutes to set the tent, roll out my bedding, peg the awning and be finnished pish farting around with camp. As you might have gathered I'm not realy into tenting perse' and mine was brought for its speed and versatility for those times that tenting is the last viable option for me to be where I want to go.
It is one of the few products I have purchased over the past few years that actually lives up to its advertising without doubt. Is it worth the outlay, for me yes because it is a quality product that actually does what it is suppose to do and lets me do what I have gone to some remote place to do, not fiddle fart around putting up a bloody tent.

Don't know what sort of tent you use but you are obviously happy with it and thats a good thing because it's your tent and you have to live with it.
Lucky thing, individual choice.
Same thing with Willem wanting to spend $10 rather than $50 + fixing his tent. His choice and from my point of view a sensible one and as an Oztent owner one I will file away for future reference cause like Willem I would rather have $40 in my pocket to go somewhere rather than spend it when there was no need to.

And if you don't get it, you don't get it. Mr Oztent never said you had to get it!

Happy Travelling
Cheers

I agree with all that Kimberley Kruiser has said.

Basically the Oztent has a frame set-up and after you have removed it from it's bag it takes less than 30 seconds to set up. Within the frame set-up are two locking arms which are shifted into position on a slide to keep the tent upright and firm. Then all you need to do is to put a few tent pegs in the ground and your sleeping quarters are ready. The tent has an awning which is freestanding or it can be attached to the roofrack of your vehicle. We fit two camp beds in the tent and still have space to'swing a cat' lol It is the only tent I have come across that always fits back into its bag.

Hahahaha................No I don't work any longer

Oztent is an Australian disgned tent and I have only come across it recently after doing a bit of research on the internet looking for alternatives now that the missus has decided to come camping again( I had a single bed set up in my old truck).

Just go to their site and send them an email asking where the closest supplier to you is situated.

Sorry no photos. The one thing I like about the tent that it is 1.9metres at the door so I only have to bend my neck slightly to get in the tent in an upright position. We are planning on buying an annexe and a screen room for our 3 month jaunt over to the west next year.
