Family camping and touring tents generally don't come with a wind rating, Emma.  Mostly it's just a matter of paying attention to your tent & supporting it as best as possible with things like strong guy ropes, tracer springs, and pegs if you can see the wind is starting to affect it.
Theres also some other things you can do to get the most out of your tent in Windy conditions which we cover in our podcast on Wind & Rain whilst camping - here.

G'day Sam,

Thanks for getting in touch, there is no Oztrail Fast Frame tent with a dark room coating on the fly. The Darkroom 10P tent will likely be the best option for you, as the next size down with the Darkroom coating is the 6P Darkroom.

G'day Susan,

We've checked with Oztrail about this same question before, and there are solid privacy panels on the tent doors, these will provide privacy but not weather protection as they're under the front awning. The side and rear windows have exterior windows on the fly that will provide weather protection when zipped shut. 

G'day Claire,

Sorry to hear about your tent. I'm sure we'll be able to get this fixed up for you. Can you send us an email to service@snowys.com.au with as much detail as you can about which pole etc and we'll chase it up from there for you. 

G'day Ash,

I've just given Oztrail a buzz to confirm this for you. They told me that the Oztrail Tourer 450 Fastframe Tent does have some privacy screens on the inside, so you can get changed without needing to go and close the outside windows. The inside privacy screens don't offer any protection from rain though. 

Hi Dee,

In terms of ventilation, the Instant Up does have floor vents which will give you more air flow in comparison to a Tourer tent.

It would seem that the Tourer has a higher price as it does come with the option to add accessories to the awning.

In terms of setting them up, there isn’t going to be a huge difference as they are a similar size and layout, so we couldn’t say that one was faster than the other.

Both tents have a room divider. The Instant Up isn’t stitched into the floor though (you can see this in the 4^th image on the prod page) but we do believe that the Fast Frame is sewn in (though we don’t have one set up to confirm this). You will have to step over the room dividers in both tents, so you won’t be able to avoid that. 

The main difference here is the usability of the awning, so if you want to be able to extend your living area then the Tourer would be the better choice.

I hope this was helpful and answered all of your questions, but you have any other queries, feel free to give our customer service team a buzz on 1300 914 007 and they’d be happy to talk you through the range. 

G'day Sel,

One of our staff member's sons have this tent, so he was able to answer this one for you. He let me know that the dividing wall is a solid wall, so you can create two rooms. It also zips down the middle to create a curtain type door so that you can move from one room to the other if you'd like to.

G'day Troy,

The strength of the Oztrail Tourer 450 Fast Frame Tent poles is definitely far less than that of other similar types of tents in our range. In any strong wind or stormy weather, I would be encouraging that you consider pulling any Oztrail Tourer Fast Frame Tent down to avoid damage to the poles. It really is a case here that you get what you pay for and pole strength is a key determining factor in the price point.

G'day Bobby,

If you're looking for a slightly stronger tent in a similar mould, then I would suggest either one of the Oztent RV Tents or a Black Wolf Turbo Tent.

G'day David, 

I can't seem to find a video of the Fast Frame 450 online, and we don't have one on this tent ourselves. We do have quite a busy video schedule at the moment, but I will let our videographer know so he can add it to the list. 

G'day Belinda,

The Oztrail Tourer 450 Floor Guard does come with pegs included.

G'day Darren,

I've just called Oztrail and while the old model Fast Frame Tourer 450 isn't listed as a compatible tent, they believe it will fit. However, they also pointed out that they don't know of anyone who has tried. Unfortunately, we don't have any more old model Fast Frame Tourer or the media centre in stock (although we can order the media centre in) for me to double check this.

G'day Matt, 

The Design of the Fast Frame means that you can't pull it back when you don't want it there, you'd likely have to take the whole fly off (which we probably wouldn't recommend). As for height - we measure the maximum height from the highest point of the centre of the tent, not the sides. 

Howdy John,

The footprint for both these tents are almost identical, with an extra 10cm in length on the Black Wolf 450 Cabin tent. The difference comes in the sleeping area with the Black Wolf being a bigger unit inside.

G'day Travis, 

The Turbo Lite overall is going to be a more hardwearing than the Fast Frame as the poles are stronger, and the materials are a step up in terms of quality compared to the Fast Frame.

That’s not to say the Fast Frame is a bad tent, but it is a more wallet-friendly option that’s probably more suitable for occasional use.

The Turbo Lite tent also has more options available for accessories such as the mesh screen room, extenda awning, deluxe side panel options etc. so down the track if you want to add more to your tent that might be something you want to think about.

If you are intending on using your tent a lot, the more robust option is definitely the Turbo. But if you’re planning on keeping it simple, and you only go camping a couple of times a year - then the Fast Frame is the way to go.  

Hi Jenny,

I've just looked into this, and it looks we have run out of the Tourer 450 Fast Frame Tent (we just found out yesterday).

We don't have a date of arrival from the supplier, so as far as we know it will be around a 3 month wait - so I do apologise about that Jenny. 

G'day Jenny, 

The awning is connected to the fly on the Tourer 450 Fast Frame Tent, so they're not seperate items which is what makes setting up this tent so easy. 

G'day Jenny, 

Delivery to Queensland is approximately 2-4 business days from dispatch, but if you live in a regional area we'd add about 1 extra business day. 

As for stock, I've just checked with our purchasing manager and it looks like we have just run out of this tent. As far as we know we don't have a solid ETA, but it will be approximately 3 months according to the supplier. 

G'day Jan, 

We couldn't get an answer from Oztrail, and we don't have a 450 on display in store but if we had to hazard a guess we'd say that the awning would extend about 1.8m and the length would be about 4.3m long as the sides do slope a little bit.

Hi Jan, 

Oztrail have managed to track down the details from their factory and they say that the awning on the Fast Frame Tourer 450 tent is 460cm long and 170cm wide but the length will taper towards the top - so we weren't far off! 

G'day Graeme,

The main difference between the two Tourer tents is the size. The new Tourer 450 now claims a capacity of 10 persons, in comparison to the older 420 model capacity of 8.

Also the dimensions have increased to 450L x 480W inclusive of the awning with sleeping area of 430L x 280W, in comparison to the Tourer 420 being 420L x 420w inclusive of the awning with a sleeping area of 400L x 220W. Cheers!

Hi Harry, 

I do apologise about the mix up there, I've had a deeper look into this question and I think I can clear up the differences between the old and new Fast Frame Tourer tents for everyone here. 

Aside from the change in colour, from comparing the specs it seems that these are the updates/changes:

- New model has PVC Coated Polyester floor instead of Polyethylene

- Updated model is slightly heavier at 26.6kg vs 23.5kg

- Addition of laminated welded corners on the floor of the tent

- Latest model has a media storage pocket inside the tent

I hope that was more helpful, do let us know if you'd like any more info on the Fast Frame range.
