OZTent RV-5 Overland/Touring Tent w/ALL the Extras. Excellent Condition: $1300. Free delivery within 150 miles of Portland, Maine; further by arrangement.
Time to sell my OZTent RV-5 setup: I’ve only used it camping three times, haven’t taken it along on recent long adventures, and have no plans to take it along next big adventure. I bought it to use both as a standalone and to attach to my trailer awning as extra housing for workshop participants and guests, but just don’t need it now. I love this tent, and actually want to keep it for potential future needs, though need to shed excess gear. I’m cleaning out storage, so this and a bunch of other stuff is going up for sale.
It is an amazingly well-constructed, roomy, and very comfortable tent. Designed and made in Australia for rugged outback conditions, and is super quick to put up and take down. Very cozy, feels very secure during big wind and rain, is flexible in arrangement options, and is made of waterproof 8oz Ripstop Polycotton Canvas.

DIMENSIONS RV-5 Main Tent (w/out front room):
Packed Size: 80″L x 15″W x 11″H
Set Up Size: 102″W x 102″D x 75″H
Awning Size (for main tent, that zips down over doors when wanted; front room has its own awning): 79″L x 102″W
Weight: 54lb / 24kg
– Cots and brown rug between them are included, and though the table shown is not included, an Oztent Sidekick is.
– This tent is a dream to sleep and hang out in. They planned out the air flow and ventilation extremely well. The fly extends far enough back that even in a driving rain you can leave the big mesh window open as above.
– The awning zips down to the front mesh piece, and the side doors have covers that zip over, to close things up nice and snug for weather.
– I’m including new extra poles for the front awning as they are not included when you buy the Front Deluxe Panel from Oztent.
– Gives you an idea of size of the “front room,” which is 79″ x 102″ – enough room for a couple more cots, or table and chairs, cook table, etc.
– Also shows mud flap bottom of peaked side walls to guide water away.
– Keeping air in between fly and tent allows the tent to stay cool in warm weather. Along with the excellent cross-ventilation, it can be really pleasant in there on a hot day.
– This also shows the convenient pockets for the storm lines, used for tethering in extreme weather.
– This view shows the bathtub floor better. Makes a big difference in keeping the inside dry.
– No, these tent poles are not crooked; it’s the wonky wide view of my cell camera that does that.
– The side panel windows can be zipped open and closed from inside.
– Without the peaked side wall set, you can run the awning straight out, or peaked like this for the side walls.
– This shows the no-see-um mesh vents over the door. VERY handy in creating cross-ventilation.
– Draws the warm air out under the awning, pulling it in from the big lower window in back.
– Very effective and thoughtful design.
Makes a really nice base camp for several people, with cooking under cover and housing attached right there.
Somebody better grab this deal before I change my mind and keep it.
