Official OZTENT review

Post by kingshaka » Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:44 am

This particular RV-4 model weighed 48lbs on digital shipping scale at my office. So although not the light compact stowable tent you are used to it is still light enough to through on the roof rack with out killing yourself or adding a ridiculous amount of weight up top on the rig. Other units weight less, such as the RV-3 about 10lbs lighter, and they go down from there

Once off the roof it actually took me 45 seconds to get the tent up and another 30 seconds to put out the 6 basic stakes to secure it. This was by myself and only the second time I deployed it. For heavy weather there are a ton of other stakeout options which you will see later but to set it up in the late of night or in a rain the basic shelter is up in no time. They are very comparable to a roof top tent in set up time.
