I have a Oz tent rv4 with all the extra's it's been a great tent over the last 5 years the only thing that can catch you out is the length it needs a full length roof rack to transport it.

We’ve used an Oztent for close to 20 years - Certainly recommend the brand - hundreds of nights use without any problem.
The Oztent is the quickest and easiest tent to put up and pack up - although best suited for two people, so we ended up with two of them.
No pegs needed unless it’s windy, so we’ve been able used it on concrete under a verandah in really wet weather (got us out of the mud), and even inside a hall on one occasion.
The kids found the Oztent works well as a bird hide, with the full width window and the awning at the rear.
The long bag means it won’t fit inside a vehicle, so it does need a roofrack, and we’ve used two roof bars on a station wagon.
Prior to that we used an Arab style tent with centre pole - a bit more room with kids, but not as easy to erect and pack up.
