To convert the awning into another room, simply...(for a price), buy the walls and front that go with and you have quite a big extra room and, as I said to someone yesterday, if you have a friend with the same size Oz Tent then you can join together, with a special joining piece to make a very large extra room between the sleeping area.

It takes about 10 minutes to setup the the extra room and it gets quicker with more practice.

It is well worth getting the option.

would be nice if it was a one piece, three sided panel, rather than three seperate ones.

I do agree, get the extra panels, gives you 2x2 metres waterproof enclosed (tent), 2 x 2 metres dirt floor enclosed (room), and a further 2 x 2 metres awning.

I have the RV3 with the extra panels to make the awning into a room. It is not as weatherproof as the main part of the tent, but it is definitely worth it. I have the groundsheet as well, so my awning room does have a floor. BTW we put the portacot in the awning room, with a mozzie net over it. Baby sleeps fine there, and never had any bites.

Those who say something cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

by the sound of it im glad i bought the black wolf turbo - more room - but we have only dbl swag,single swag and a porta cot....plenty of room and no need for the extra add ons - yet!!

i would say about 10 minutes all up but lots of prac in the back yard should do the trick!!
