HELPFUL HINT
We recommend that you set up this product before
you leave for your trip. Check that all parts are
present and that you familiarise yourself with the
assembly and disassembly of the product.
Warning
Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc.) inside or within proximity
of this tent. Use of fuel-burning inside or within proximity of this tent can result in the accumulation
of dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide - a colourless, odourless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide will cause serious injury or death. Avoid spraying your tent with deodorant as it will destroy the
waterproofing.
Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent. This tent is made with flame resistant fabric but
source. Failure to keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent can result in a fire that can burn.
Before using this product, read and fully understand: (1) attached warnings; (2) the instruction manual
and all accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation
leading to injury.

Setting Up Your Oztent
Step 1: Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning,
flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury
to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements.
Clear the area of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor.
If possible, avoid setting the tent on ground that is already wet. If you can’t, minimize the resulting
humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well ventilated.
We also recommend that you consider some form of ground sheet/protection to minimize wear, tear
and damage to the floor of your tent. The Oztent RV-5 Mesh Floor Saver is an option you may wish to
consider. If you are using a ground sheet/floor saver, ensure that you peg it down before setting up
your tent.
Step 2: Lay Out the Tent
2.1 Unpack your tent. Place the poles, pegs and fly somewhere clear of your tent space.
2.2 Release the webbing strap around your tent.
2.3 Unroll the tent and then swing out both arms, one at a time.

RV-5/3 Plus Owner’s Manual
Step 3: Setting Up
3.1 If you are using the fly (recommended), attach the fly to the zipper located on the upper forward
edge of the tent. This is easiest to do when the tent is still laying on the ground.
3.2
3.3 While supporting the tent, gently slide the bracing arm on either side of the tent into its ‘lock’
position.
3.4 Attach the Velcro tabs located below the bracing arm. This ensures that the tent is not
accidentally collapsed.
3.5 Ensure the tent is in the best position and that it sits correctly. Pull out the rear of the tent to
expose all peg points. Secure all the bottom peg points, open out the attached guy ropes and peg
them down.

Step 4: Setting Up Your Awning
4.1 Once the tent has been pegged to the ground, unroll the front awning.
4.2 Twist to unlock awning poles and twist again to lock at desired height. Attach the horizontal/
spreader pole between the two uprights. Pop up the awning and secure with guy ropes as shown.
If you are wish- ing to install the 2.2 m Peaking Poles, these are inserted in the eyelet midway
along the awning and are as- sembled in the same manner as the front uprights. Adjust all poles
and guy ropes to ensure the tent awning is fully secured.
Step 5: Securing the Fly
5.1 Ensure the fly has been attached to the zipper located at the top of the tent (this is easiest to do
before the tent is erected. Connect the fly poles through the eyelet on each side of the fly and
secure the fly with guy ropes as shown.

Ventilation
Maintain adequate ventilation inside your tent at all times.
Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods,
avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements. Clear the area of sharp
stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor. If possible, avoid setting the tent on ground
that is already wet. If you can’t minimize the resulting humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well
ventilated.
Pegs/Stakes and Ropes
Peg down your tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.
All tents require pegging/staking to prevent them from flying away in a gust of wind. Always anchor your Oztent. Enough
pegs/stakes and ropes are supplied to safely set up your tent in most situations. It may be necessary to purchase
additional and/or specialised pegs/stakes and ropes for use in extreme or varied soil conditions. For optional sand pegs/
stakes Oztent recommends use of an Oztent Edition Bluescrew.
Tightly tensioning your tent with our attached ropes greatly increases the tent’s strength and stability. This will also
reduce fabric droop and wrinkles, and prevent rainwater from pooling. To pull out a peg never use the edge of the tent as
a handle. If hard to remove, use of another peg as a hook is recommended.
Zippers
Be careful with your zippers. Go slow when zipping. Make sure to align the tracks before sliding the zipper - and don’t
exert excessive force. If fabric gets caught in the slider, stop and slowly reverse the slider to remove. A silicone based
lubricant may be used to enhance zipping.
When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, they can cause abrasion and damage to the zipper sliders. You can clean the zipper
teeth by rinsing them out with water. The pressure from a regular garden hose will push out small sand particles.
Cleaning
If your tent should require cleaning, set it up and use a sponge with warm water. If further cleaning is needed, a garden
waterproofing and/or damage the fabric. Allow the tent to air-dry completely before packing or storing.
Condensation
Condensation is an unavoidable fact of physics. When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric, it forms
condensation. In most conditions condensation can be controlled by allowing air inside the tent to vent outside. During
high degree of ventilation can actually increase the condensation by drawing in more humid air.
To reduce condensation, use Oztent Fly. Your Oztent Fly is designed to collect humid air that passes through your tent. It
is normal to find the underside of the fly covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the floor inside the tent. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking
fabric.
