oztrail tourer9 tents

[jeff f]

bought a new tent for the easter camping trip

an oz-trail tourer 9. this is a great tent. made of ripstop canvas

set up and pack up in 5 minutes, only one pole, no fly needed

base is 2.6x2.6 m and 2.1m tall, comes in a generous sized bag so no struggling to put it away.no more getting down on your hands and knees to get in, or rolling round on the floor to get changed, big micro screened windows all round for plenty of airflow.

cant recomend these things highly enough

there's no way i'll ever go back to a rotten plastic dome tent or a complicated cabin tent again [img size=499]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/P3230013_AFO.jpg

I'm assuming the "9" is not for the number it sleeps? Mind you the way they size their tents it could be....

You cant beat a good quality tent for a proper camp. Although the light weight domes have their place, for the woosies who wont pitch their swag under the stars on a fine night.

I would have to buy one from this place before my wife would sleep in a tent:dry:

yeh i've seen some tents that say 8man and would be the size of a real sized 3 or 4 man tent. They must be suited to 5.5ft people. Are those awning things part of the tent jeff?

[Feral]

I know where your coming from, my wife thinks a motel with 3 or less stars is camping!

[jeff f]

yes shrimpo they zip down over the windows and door,you can roll them up and secure them with the ties on the tent wall i tied them to trees to shade the windows

[pinkey]

looks the goods.

[Shrimpo]

Thats cool.

[Lozzel]

Looked at something like that a few years back. The cape york tour buss use one's like that.

They had 12 set up before I opened my 2nd stubbie. :laugh: and I'm not a slow drinker either.

[Dinodadog]

I've had a very simular one for many years, just a good size for the parents and put the kids in a dome tent. I also liked the fact you could get changed standing up. Used to get a little tangled up in the good old days when I went to give the wife a cuddle, because of centre pole.

Jeff looks like a sweet tent!

Should serve you well at Hinze

Looks sweet mate, only problem i have with tall tents is they tend to be week against high winds. how's that one?

[jeff f]

the wind at easter down the pin didnt bother it at all even though one of my mates dome tent got flattened
