I notice the tag along oztent is compatible with rhino awnings? Is it the same speed to erect as the main tent or different? Been thinking of a touring tent but saw these.
-
I dont think they have the internal framework so would imagine they would take longer.

I was looking at these. Pity they don't have don't have the 'C' channel zip system for the RV5 Oztent, would be so quick to set up for the night!

As the other's have said, external frame on tag a long... takes a bit of time to put up compared to Oztent itself..
But if your after an Oztent, the 30 second one... look on ebay or gumtree, find one of the original one's, made from canvas so a bit heavier, but other than that there the same time to erect, and a lot cheaper to.. paid $450 for mine, looks like new....... sold of all the extras it came with, ended up costing me $150.... :cup:

I think you can get a caravan adaptor piece that will go in the rope slot for about $70.
If there is no rope slot you could buy a short piece and rivet to the channel.

I did notice them. As long as the zipper on the RV5 will work with the zipper on the attachment then all good!
You can get an RV5 30 second tent which will attach to the Rhino Sunseeker II awning!

Thanks all. So next question, do the older slime green oztents use the same zip add on sections. What size are the older oztents size 3?
-
you had to complicate it.. ;D
I don't think the zip on connector that attaches to your awning will fit.. i have spoken to the rep from Oztent, he says it will. but when i tried one at Amozon outdoors there was know way it would zip on.! :'(
Mine is equal in size to the RV4. can't for the life of me think what the model is i have... i'll chase it down and post it up soon for you.
As far as the awning connector goes, it would be an easy job to get one made to suit the Zip.. i just gave up in the end.. just free stand it next to the awning. no diff realy..
-
Yeah your probably right mate. Thanks.

achjimmy. Here is a few pics of my Tag Along connected to my foxwing. It is easy to set up. Takes maybe 3 minutes including pegs. 10 minutes will see you with the foxwing and tag along ready to rock. I'm not sure but I think you need the RV5 tag along to connect to the fowwing. Not sure if the others are long enough.
