Couple on Ebay at the moment, looks similar to your set up.

Ben read the guide it's pretty straight forward.

Re: My OZtent in action
Coblers,ive just got the side's and front for my Oz tent. Havn't put it up yet. Is it hard to add the sides? Can it be done on your own? Because of the peak in the sides i presume the poles have to be in place first to be able to zip the sides on. How do you know how high to put the poles before the sides are on?

Re: My OZtent in action
The sides are pretty easy to add on your own. I normally put up the tent and add the awning poles first.
Then I zip on the side panels. After loosening the font poles a bit I add the taller poles adding the horizontal pole at this time. Usually I do this pretty loosely until all poles are in. Then I stretch them out and make sure they are locked tight.
The stretching and locking is important (it certainly needs to be much tighter than it looks in the pictures at the beginning of the post), I didn't lock one of mine enough and during heavy rain and high wind the pole came down enough to lift the top of the tent away. This resulted in a deluge inside and much quiet swearing and cursing on my part whilst clearing this up at 4 in the morning (it didn't even wake my wife!).
After the side panels are in the front zips on easy enough.
Then its just going round pegging out.
This might not be the best way of putting it together, but in the absence of any manufacturer instructions it seemed logical enough.
Hope that helps.
btw both of those tents on ebay look good, I'd have bid on the RV5 one for sure. The RV3 also has loads of gear too. I'll keep an eye on how much they fetch.

I like that idea, the pictures I've seen on here look really good, I think they also do brackets for the OEM Land Rover Aero bars as well.
Next though is the flysheet to fend off some of the condensation you get with a single skinned tent.

Re: My OZtent in action
I'm sorry I can't, I've not used any around here, I have tended use to use sites further afield (excuse the pun). There are many good ones in north Wales.Disco Duck wrote:Can you recomend any good camp sites in cheshire or North west?
