When you’ve got a big group of people sleeping in a tent, there’s bound to be a few quibbles and quarrels when you’re all crammed in like sardines – but not with the OZtrail Latitude Dome Tent. This tent has two bedrooms which are separated by a living area and sunroom - so everyone can get a break from each other while still sleeping under one roof.
You get the whole gang together and utilise the entire space, or you can use it with less people and have a more livable and spacious shelter. The Latitude can be used for both short and long stays and has good weather protection thanks the UV treated fly and heat-taped seams which’ll keep everyone nice and dry. You won’t have to worry about any insects getting in thanks to the No-See-Um mesh on the windows, which’ll also keep fresh air circulating inside the tent.
The geodesic frame of this tent will help to brace your tent against harsher winds and will keep water from pooling on the top of your tent - so the Latitude will stay sturdy even in miserable weather. You won’t have to stress about everyone’s stuff getting jumbled together, as there are handy side storage lockers at the rear and organiser pockets inside keep everything organised. For the family or group that sometimes need a bit of break from each other, the OZtrail Latitude Dome Tent is a solid option.
Our floor is starting to leak when standing/sitting on it especially in the heavy use areas. Oztrail recommended we contact an outdoor store to find out options for waterproofing. Our tent is about 5 years old (used about 12 times), we waterproofed the seams when we bought it and there are no tears in the floor. Would greatly appreciated advice.
G'day Kerri,
The most suitable product we sell for re-proofing a tent floor is Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof but I'm honestly not sure how effective it will be on the
Is there a ground sheet that fits this tent?
G'day Lucy,
Unfortunately, we don't have any single tarps that will be big enough to fit under your Oztrail Latitude Family Dome Tent. I would suggest though that 2 of the 10 x 20 ft Oztrail Ultramesh Tarps would be more than enough for your tent.
Is there a tarp that goes with this tent?
G'day Amanda,
No, I probably wouldn't recommend putting a tarp over the top of the Oztrail Latitude Family Dome Tent. If you did though, there's not specifically one designed for it, you'd need to just get one that's the closest in measurement. I would recommend, however, that you consider using a tarp for underneath the tent to give the floor some extra protection.
I am looking for a supplier of this specific tent in SA. The companies that I contacted are either out of stock or they don't keep it. Have you got the name of a SA supplier of this tent, or can you ship one off to me. If so, what would the cost more or less be.
G'day Nikki,
Thanks for taking an interest in Snowys, but at this time we are only shipping to Australia.
As far as I can find Oztrail stock their products in South Africa through Seagull Industries, so perhaps you can inquire with that company about the availability of the Latitude Dome Tent.
Good luck with tracking down the tent you're looking for, sorry we couldn't be of more help.
Hi, just wondering how long this tent takes to set up?
Hi Kris, I would allow 30 - 45 minutes to set this tent up, depending on how many helpers/how much experience you've got! This is definitely the sort of tent that you would only want to use when you're staying somewhere for at least a few days.
Hi, I am just wondering what the real-world difference is between water rating 3000 & 2000? With heavy rain will we get leakage with a 2000?
Hi Rich,
Basically the higher the water rating, the more the tent can repel that unwelcomed rain cloud. A long light shower can also have an effect on the water resistance of your tent as it will soak the fabric and seams causing wicking through the fabric and dampening the inside of the tent.
One way to help overcome this is to look at purchasing Seam Sealer for under $15 which will increase your waterproofing quite dramatically. The seams are often the part of the tent which tends to leak first so this product adds better waterproofing to the tent to ensure you get to sleep the night in a comfy dry tent.
Hi, do the internal rooms have mesh and solid dividers to create privacy between rooms and are they from floor to ceiling zip up?
G'day Grant,Â
I've just got off the phone with Oztrail, and they've confirmed that the Latitude only has a solid door option.
The internal doors definitely zip all the way around, and you can kind of see what this looks like (if you zoom in) on the third image linked on the product page. I hope this was helpful!Â
Hi....Does this tent have Power cord access ?
G'day Reuben,
I've just checked with Oztrail, and the Latitude definitely has a power cord access port, as well as a light attachment point and organiser pockets.Â
Is this the same as the oz trail villa? I like the villa has full fly mesh zip up to seperate bedrooms- is this the same?
G'day Mel,
I've just had a chat with the Oztrail rep about the Latitude vs the Villa, and he's confirmed that they are very similar tents.Â
Both styles have two bedrooms seperated by a living area, space for 12 people, waterhead rating, awnings and mesh (and fabric) doors to seperate the bedrooms - so there isn't much that seperates the two.Â
The Villa isn't made anymore so I'd say the Latitude is the closest to that tent in the Oztrail range.Â
Are the awning poles included with this product? another website mentioned that they aren't.
G'day Mark,Â
I've just had a look at the supplier's catalogue and the stock we have, and I've found that the awning poles are not included for the Oztrail Latitude Family Dome Tent.Â
