If you need a sturdy touring tent that’s a bit lighter and a bit more manageable, then the Oxley 5 Lite is the one for the job.
The Oxley 5 Lite is made from 210D Polyoxford PU 2000mm, which makes it the lighter and more affordable sibling of the Oxley Fast Frame Tents. The auto lock/release frame makes pitching the Oxley 5 Lite super simple and quick. All you need to do is pop the centre hub and lock it, pull the arms out to lock the frame into place, peg it out, and attach the fly.
For insect protection, the No-See-Um mesh screens will have you covered, and when you need some more airflow in the tent the large windows provide heaps of ventilation. The fly offers 100% water protection and will keep your tent cooler in warm weather and reduce condensation when the temperature drops.
And if you need some extra living space, you can relax under the cover of the extra-large awning on this tent. The Oxley 5 Lite from Oztent is perfect for small families or groups and provides a sturdy and easy to set up shelter in a lighter package.

Would you recommend this over the Coleman instant up 6p gold?1 answer
Looking to buy a light weight tent with a quick set-up time to sleep 2 adults and one child. Both the Oztent and Coleman fit the brief. Interested in your opinion about which one you would recommend over the other. Thanks
JC - McKinnon (4 years ago)
G'day JC,
The Instant Up Gold 6P, and the Oxley 5 Lite are both great tents, with some great features. The Coleman tent has a full fly with low ventilation ports so it will suit more variable weather than the Oxley. The Coleman is a little more waterproof with a 3000mm waterhead rating on the fly, versus 2000mm on the Oztent. The Oztent is a little smaller and lighter though, so depending on your vehicle setup it might be more suitable. We think both options are great, with both companies having strong brand reputations, and both models have great reviews.

Floor durability1 answer
Hi guys just after your thoughts on the durability of the floor material over time. Being the same material as the tent itself how would it fair with camp stretchers on it assuming a ground sheet was always placed under the tent. Seems like a great buy but it is the floor that is somewhat holding me back from purchasing.
Rod - 6147(4 years ago)
G'day Rod,
The floor on the Oxley 5 Lite is fairly similar to some of the other lighter weight touring style tents on the market. In general, we'd suggest a groundsheet under most tents, so that will help protect the tent floor from abrasion by sticks/rocks etc. If you're worried about the feet or your stretchers causing damage to the tent then you could pop some carpet squares, or cut rubber matting under the feet just to be sure.

Being discontinued?1 answer
Given the discount, and that I can't find these listed on the oztent website anymore, I gather the Oxley Lite tents are being discontinued by oztent?
Michael - 2600(4 years ago)
G'day Michael,
Yes, the Oxley models are discontinued, we managed to snap up the last batch from Oztent. We have them listed on clearance, which is why they're such a great deal!

How does this tent compare to OZtrail Fast Frame Tourer 300 Tent1 answer
I'm looking at these two tents. Just wanting to know how they compare quality wise?
Dave - Brisbane (5 years ago)
G'day Dave,
The first thing I would say is to make your decision quickly as the Oxley 5 Lite is on clearance and we only have 2 left. The Oxley 5 Lite has an aluminium frame, with a higher denier fabric. The Oztrail is a little larger and has a steel frame with a slightly lower denier material. Overall we have better feedback on the Oxley 5 Lite, and would recommend this over the Oztrail.

How waterproof is this tent?1 answer
Functionality looks good. However, can the small fly on the top give adequate protection in a downpour, especially in driving rain? What is the Hydrostatic Head rating of the ïnner" and the fly?
John - St Clair(5 years ago)
G'day John,
Oztent specify that the tent is made from waterproof material, and that is is 100% waterproof with the fly attached, but they don't specify a waterhead rating on the tent material. They provide a waterhead rating on the fly and floor of 2000mm. Overall we're pretty confident that you'll be ok in most weather, but driving rain might be asking a little too much of the the waterhead rating on the fly.

Head height of awning1 answer
Could you please confirm the head height of the awning once set up?
Bree - Broome(5 years ago)
G'day Bree,
The Oxley 5 Lite comes with 2 x 1.9m Awning poles which results in the awning sitting around 1.85m. You can purchase separate 2.2m poles if you want to create a peaked awning. Hope this helps.

Rain and additional posts1 answer
thanks Ben for your answer. Does this mean it would be wise to buy an additional post or two if we buy this tent?
Robert - Bulimba QLD(7 years ago)
G'day Robert,
I certainly think that it would be a good idea to grab a couple of extra poles with your Oztent Oxley 5 Lite Touring Tent, then you'd be able to make sure the water doesn't pool on your annexe like you were concerned about happening.

Oxley 5 lite and rain1 answer
hi. I watched Ben's video on setting up the canvas version of this tent, and looking at the photo I wonder what happens to the annex when it rains? It appears as though it will either pool in the centre
Robert - Bulimba QLD(7 years ago)
G'day Robert,
Depending on how you set your Oztent Oxley 5 Lite Touring Tent, you can avoid any pooling on the annexe in a couple of different ways. There are are a couple of eyelets in the middle of the annexe, so you can raise the middle of the annexe to allow the rain to run off. Another option is to slightly lower the front poles so that the water runs off the front or pull the annexe really taught to allow the water to run off the sides. I hope this has been some help!

Can i see this tent setup at Brendale? 1 answer
thanks for the information on this tent. I’d like to see one setup
Robert - Bulimba Q(7 years ago)
G'day Robert,
We don't have an Oztent Oxley 5 Lite Touring Tent on display at the moment but we can definitely set one up for you. Just give us a buzz before you come in so that we can get one out for you!

Oxley 5 Lite vs Coleman Instant Up1 answer
Is the frame of these two tents similar. How does this compare to the Coleman for ease of erection? Could one person do it? Also, is it on display at Snowys Brendale?
Robert - Buimba(7 years ago)
G'day Robert,
The Oztent Oxley 5 Lite Touring Tent is very similar in its setup to the Coleman Instant Up as far as ease is concerned. It is a little heavier and sturdier than the Coleman though. You can see the setup video for the Oxley here & the Coleman setup here. These videos might help you make a better comparison.

Use without fly?1 answer
Hi there I was wondering if this tent could be used without the fly like the oztent and is sealed off in the roof area ? Or is there open ventilation holes in the roof ?
Braden - Adelaide (7 years ago)
G'day Braden,
I've just called Oztent to confirm as this tent is brand new to us, and they've told me that the tent can be completely sealed off without the fly, but as it's a lighter fabric they recommend to use it with the fly as that is what makes this tent 100% waterproof.
Emily - Snowys(7 years ago)
Are front and side awning panels available for this tent1 answer
I see it has attaching points for them, thanks.
John - Ararat(7 years ago)
G'day John,
We've just had confirmation from Oztent that you can use the Jet Tent Complete Panel System on the Oztent Oxley 5 Lite Touring Tent. The colour might be a shade or two different, but it'll fit perfectly.
