    Maybe time for velcro. Lachy can rip away to his heart's content.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Bugger, JJ’s in Ferntree Gully have retired damn it and the other lady is now operating in Tarwin Lower which is too far.

    Does anyone know anyone around Melbourne?

    You should get a new bag too, I always find I can pack up the Oz tent in 3 minutes but takes me half hr to get it into the bag.

    Definitely working on that Tony, it’s my pet hate with these tents!

    Oztent zipper

    Got quoted $220 for a new zip. I know it’s probably a lot of work to replace zip but I need to think about an alternative fix or just suck it up lol

    Cost us $600 to get 4 zips replaced in our Tvan a couple of years ago in Cairns, which is more expensive than down south - was told Melbourne price at the time would have been $450. (I removed & refitted the tent). They were all long zips which went from top, around the curved bottom & back to the top of the doors in heavy canvas. Yours I believe is a straight single length in ripstop nylon? If so $220 sound excessive to me, I'd phone around to see if you can get it done cheaper .... but don't skimp on zip quality - they all look similar but YKK will last longer.

    Yep that price is to remove the entire frame inside tent too which looks like a nightmare to do.

    I’ve done a bit of research and apparently this little guy has fixed a lot of peoples problems.

    For $25 it’s worth having a crack first.
