I don't want to hijack the thread but a combined oztent/foxwing set up might be the right combination of awning/tent perhaps A man with no boat is a prisoner

Yes the oztent in its basic form is nice and easy to put up and I would find it much easier than the tipi if erecting on my own.

The weight, pack size and carrying is its downsize but if there was only 1 or 2 of us for a single night then would probably favour the oztent. As said above to put up and peg out, the oztent is a couple of minutes. If you have the sides, front etc then it takes 15 mins to properly get up.

I have seen an oztent attached to the side of a rack before but couldn't say how.

Does it have to be an oztent? We have both oztent and a tentipi with stove and find the tipi a preferred option, only takes a few mins to pitch, Infact is quicker than the oztent as still have to fit sides and guy out etc. Also have a foxwing but is still in the garage awaiting arrival of the hannibal rack.

Once finally here and installed we will be trialling the awning and sides together with tipi to see how things go.

Thats interesting I too have a tentipi with a wood burner, but was thinking about getting a OZ Tent for one night stopovers etc i assumed it would be much quicker to erect and take down than the tipi?

I love the tipi but for one night stopovers the tent & the floor takes time to put up and longer to pack away neat.

Love to hear what take the time with the OZ?

We use our tentipi for 1 night stop overs but we don't bother with the ground sheet (we do sleep on oztent stretchers)

Am a bit dubious amount the standard peak side panels fitting correctly

Shows how versatile this tent is

Wow!

I wonder what model Oztent is on the RRC? I'm guessing something like an RV2?
