Thee Oztrail RV Awning Tent offers
Constructed with 150 Denier Polyester walls and a heavy-duty PVC bucket floor, the awning tent is easily pitched utilising sail tracks, side release buckles and quick-clips to the frame of a 2.5m x 2.0m awning. Seams on the vertical walls are seam sealed so you'll stay dry in mildly wet weather
With sleeping space for four, the RV Awning Tent is well ventilated and accessed through front and side doors along with a side window with No-See-Um mesh screens, and an oversized rear door allows easy access to your vehicle through the tent body.
Hi, how wide does the zip door open on the car side? I’m looking for an awning tent to suit a single cab canopy (1850w). Also, is there enough length in the straps to fit under a 2.5x2.5 awning? Cheers
G'day Matt,
The rear doorway is around 1.6m wide.
In terms of fitting to a 2.5 square awning, we can't be 100% certain as it's not something we've tried.
Width wise is fine because the original RV awning is 2.5 wide, but it's just the length (perpendicular to the car) that's the issue.
I think the straps may well reach, but you will have almost a 1/2 metre gap between the back of your tent and the car.
Free standing awning tent
G'day Richard,
No, the RV Shade Awning tent can't be set up free-standing. It has no pole structure and needs to be suspended from the awning using the sail track and side poles.
Looking for an additional room for my caravan without the expense of a annex
G'day Kim,
You might be able to find a way to retro-fit this Shade Awning Tent to your caravan awning, however, it wouldn't be straight forward, and you would need some modifications to hang it up at the correct height.
Is the Awning tent waterproof? If so, how much water / rain can it take before leaking or seeping inside? If not, do you recommend any other awning tents that are suitably waterproof? Thanks
G'day Ryan,
The floor is waterproof mate and although the walls are heavy-duty and will withstand a light shower, they are not waterproof per se. Unfortunately, OZtrail doesn't have a waterproof alternative available and despite there being options with other brands, we're unable to guarantee compatibility. Cheers
Will this connect to my rv5 when I have the side and front panels on the tent ?.
G'day Shaun,
This tent is designed to be attached to an Oztrail RV Shade Awning, not the Oztent RV5 - which are two separate brands. As far as we can see the zips wouldn't be compatible.
hi will the rv shade awning tent fit a rhino rack awning the size is 2.5 x 2.00
G'day Paul,
The RV Shade Awning Tent is designed to suit most 2.5m awnings, so we'd say it should work, but without having a rhino rack awning to check it on we unfortunately can't give a guarantee.
My awning is the other way around...is there any reason why this wouldn't work spun sideways?
G'day Justme,
The RV Shade Awning Ten will use the
I currently have an Oztrail awning with tracks at the front and rear.
G'day John,
Yes the RV Shade Awning Tent has sails tracks on the front (side parallel and closest to the vehicle) and the rear (parallel to and away from the vehicle).
I’m thinking this could be a good addition when I’m camping solo and put my Oztent Bunker Stretcher within this awning tent.
G'day Brendan,
We've had a look at the size of both the RV Shade Awning and the Oztent Bunker and we're pretty confident the Bunker will fit well in the Awning tent. It might be a bit of a double up given the Bunker has a fully enclosed mesh and fly, but size wise it should be fine.
Tent is perfect but too small!
G'day Pauline,
The Oztrail RV Shade Awning Tent is made to attach to most 2.5m awnings. Unfortunately, this product does not come in a 3mX 3m size.
Could you please confirm it is 2.5m length (along vehicle) and 2m deep (pull out)?
Sure thing Fiona, I can confirm that this tent runs 2.5m along the length of, and pulls out 2 metres from the car.
I have got a eezi awn 2000. The channel is on top of the casing of the awning, but it could still work Thanks
G'day Shirley,
This is a tricky as we don't have one on display so I can't access the channel to take a measurement. I've spoken to our rep in hopes he might have been able to give us some further insight but he's not sure either! The consensus is that compatibility might be a long shot. We can't offer you any guarantee but you'd need to double check the dimensions on your Eezi-awn 2000. The RV Shade Tent is 210cm wide so your awning would need to match that which none of the 2000 Series in the Eezi-Awn seem to do, nor do they with the 230L as your awning only extends to 210cm. Sorry mate, but I don't think it's going to work :( Cheers!
ARB 4x4 Accessories Awning 2000
G'day Brett,
I'm not really familiar with the ARB awnings, but Oztrail does say it should suit most 2.5m awnings. Watch our YouTube video of how these are set up here. That should give you a pretty good idea of whether it will work on your awning or not.
Will it fit an Ironman 2.5 along the car by 2 out from the car?
G'day Tony,
The current model RV Shade Awning Tent is slightly different than the one Ben sets up in the video, they have made some changes to it since then. It is designed to suit most 2.5 x 2m awnings so it should work ok with the Ironman branded awning.
Is the awning tent seams machine stitched or heat moulded seams? Thanks Deb
G'day Deb,
I've doubled checked this with Oztrail because I don't have any stock I can look at right now. The RV Shade Awning Tents have stitched seams, with a clear seam tape applied over the seams to prevent water leaking through.
Colour of 2.5 x 2m awning tent external and inside, thanks Deb.
G'day Deb,
The RV Shade Awning Tent is a brown colour with a light grey interior.
Will it hook up to a fiamma awning
G'day Deb,
I'm not really familiar with the Fiamma awnings, but Oztrail does say it should suit most 2.5m awnings. Watch our YouTube video of how these are set up here. That should give you a pretty good idea of whether it will work on your awning or not.
Hi can hook this up to my pop top caravan and also what is the height of it. Thank you
G'day Mark,
Provided that you've got an OZtrail RV Shade Awning attached to your caravan, then you'll have no worries attaching this Tent underneath the awning. As for the height, it sits at about 170cm high.
how many actual doors is there for this tent? does all zipped section actually open to become a door?
G'day Matt,
The Oztrail RV Shade Awning Tent has a large door at the front, a smaller one on one of the sides, and another large at the back so that you can access your vehicle. To see one in action, you can suss out our YouTube video here.
The description you have for this awning tent says "will suit most 2.5 AND 2.0m awnings". My awning is 2.0m - along/parallel to the car. Could I set this room up to work with that, even though I see it's 2.5m along/parallel to the car ? Also, are the poles telescopic - adjustable? That is, they can be lowered a little to prevent any rain pooling on roof?
G'day Sue,
That description was an error on our behalf, sorry about that! The Oztrail RV Shade Awning Tent is good for most 2.5m awnings but won't work with a 2m awning, I'm sorry to say.
Does it have any guy lines at all? In how many pegs is it fixed?
G'day Gabi,
Guy Ropes are only including with the Vehicle Awning itself (all sold separately). It appears there are 4x peg points in each corner with pegs included. You can buy Guy Ropes separately, but I'm not sure on how you would attach them to the Awning Tent, you'd only be able to reinforce the Awning itself.
What wind speeds can this tent put up with? And is the material the kind that soaks water (canvas?) or the kind that repels water?
G'day Gabi,
Oztrail haven't had the Oztrail RV Shade Awning Tent rated for wind speeds, and we'd recommend that you dismantle the tent in a storm as it isn't set up with sufficient support (guy ropes) to handle extreme weather conditions.
The material is actually a 150D UVTex Polyester, not a canvas so it will repel the water.
I had this awning tent up at lucky bay near Kalbarri WA. The wind was that bad for 2 days that was no one camped by the beach at all. The awning tent protected us from the wind, we could cook and sleep. Yes it flapped about a bit and made a noise. But we couldn’t be bothered to pack up and go. It protected us from the wind. We had swags up originally; the awning tent was a lightweight back up.
Hi, does this fir an awning 2M wide x 2.5M out? Or is it 2.5M wide and 2M out?? Thanks
G'day Shiela,
The side that attaches to your vehicle is 2.4m long, and the side that goes out is 2m if that makes sense Shiela.
Hi Does this come with the Awning that fixes to your Vehicle?:" Thank You.
G'day Mark,Â
I've just checked this for you, and the Oztrail RV Shade Awning Tent does not come with the awning included, but you will need it to set this particular tent up. If you're interested, you can check out the RV Shade Awning in the 2.5m size here.
does it work with a sunseeker awning?
I'm not overly familiar with the Sunseeker Awning Erin, as it's not one that we sell, but these awnings screen rooms have been designed to fit most awnings.
If you watch the video we have included on this page, this shows how the screen room can be fitted to your awning.
I hope this helps :)Â
