    Glad I bought mine then, although it seems big and I guess yes it is big but it takes less than 10 minutes to setup. and plenty of room for the 5 of us, so we're not all on top of each other, with room for luggage.

    it's one of the things that put me off the Oztents and the Blackwolfs, just not big enough to be comfortable........ for us that is

    Mr Clunk :-) Our grand plan was heading North to Fraser as young families once again to relive until a donk popped:-( We had super cheaply scored 2 x RV5s prior ready to go and conjoin them for a full week island family relax. Started looking into the RV conjoining extras, holy crap, it starts adding up :-(

    I wouldn't do 4 for a week, you could do a weekend but a week would be too tight.

    Im keen on an RV3 as an add on tent to my nRV4 and would be the perfect family setup.

    Being 2.4m long you always have room for you bags at the end of the tent to be honest. I have the peaked sides and front wall too so can easily set it up as a 2 room and have done this when baser camping at woods point for a week with Zach. Was average weather so the front room was set up to have somewhere for fire wood, chain saw ands shoes.

    I rate it highly .

    I also ahve the fly and leave it permanently on so I ain't getting wet.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    RV6 all the way ;-)
    Same as 5 + 1k :-)
    Great tents for sure, but $$ :-(
    As a kid, fondest memories were a tarp & bag, seriously:-)
    Must be us Parents softening ;-) !!

    We're a family of 4 AB and when we get back into camping will be around a 2.5 and 1 year old.
    I do wander if another double swag would work? We do take s 3x3 gazebo with us when camping. There just s pain for getting dressed in etc but are light and the mattress is there already!

    My first trip in the Patrol was spent in my motor bike tent with Mrs Lin. She asked what tent do you want? A Black Wolf Turbo 300 Canvas, then I told her the price and she said you will be saving a long time. We also decided an upgrade to a two burner gas top would be an improvement over the single.

    I like the shape of the Black Wolf as I can stand up in it the shape of OZ tent means I can stand only at the front.

    So a week later a friend showed me his new camper trailer, his issue was to sell his used three times Black Wolf Turbo 300 Canvas and two burner cook top. What do you want for both? $400!
    We have used it so far for an Espernce and for a two week outback trip.

    We are very happy with it.

    Heres one from Aldi on sale today, I would think it packs up small
    You could even leave the fly off if doing the Cape.
