New Oztent RV4

Prior to lowering make sure the extension back is neatly pushed in, and then lower it. After lowering prior to folding in the legs tidy up the folded canvas. Go around and slightly lift each section and push the canvas in. Then fold the legs in, and hold firmly. Then roll the assy over to wrap it up, tighten the strap.

When putting in the bag make sure it is straight. The tent has a rectangular section if you get the bag slighty twisted it will cause problems.

As far as waterproofing all i did was spray with water when new just to swell the threads. Do not if this is necesary any more with modern tents as they use a seam sealer. But it doesnt hurt.

Nealy everything I have ever bought that gets packed in a bag is a tight fit after the first opening - drives me up the wall, its easy for a machine to pack a new tent etc, but do it in the bush - giv ua bigger bags please!

Just make sure that everything is neatly placed and not really bunched. Make sure you can squash the air out of it as you pull all together. A wet tent also makes it more difficult to pack. Ours zips in easily when dry and with practice.

It should be ok for water proofing, but good to get a fly over the top to minimse condensation but that goes for all tents and campers too for that matter.

Managed to re-pack it last night, followed Alan's instructions and I think I might have actually had some spare space once in the bag.! Surprise Surprise, I must have taken a "Patience Pill" before I started. Thks.
