Anyone have one of the Oz Tents new swags Jet Tent Bunker? Looks cool..

Keen to find out if there any good..
 
Looks good, just a bit pricey I feel. Oztrail easyfold stretcher tent for $199 better value.
 
We have an oz tent RV 5 best thing since sliced bread :D so easy to set up .
 
I have an OzTent Jet Tent F30X, two rooms and total floor area of 4800mm X 3000mm. Huge and heavy tent but worth the expense due to its pop-up frame which goes up in 30 seconds like the RV-series tents (even though it really does take a little longer than 30 seconds). I also have the full extension kit for it which brings it's total length to 6600mm. It is nicknamed The Swamp and signposted as such. I also have an F30 which is now just a spare tent.
 
Hi Rock, I have 2 for those quick trips when the camper trailer is not invited.
Not much time ATM , will write a tad more on them here tomorrow.

Just been away with my young bloke, he has a RV4 (4man) it is excellent. No leaks in the hail, rain & wind we encountered. Really quick setup. 4 man, you're dreaming, no room for anything else. About $1000 but a good product with a nice little front flap. My tent suffered a split carbon pole during the weekend weather & had a leak due to the hail, it's a chinese branded tent.

Yeah slowflow, our RV5 has torn the front flap after about 1 years worth of camping , when there is two people in this size tent I don't think you have a lot of room left for your gear!
But all in all the oz tent is good value and easy to set up :)
 
The 30 second pitch is B-----it!!!

30 seconds to put it up then 15 minutes to peg everything down.however it is a good tent,we have had ours about 8 years & is still in good nick with no leaks.
The other thing not in its favour is its length when folded which means it has to go up on the roof rack
 
I love my new RV1 . I have the fly , side and front panels to go with it . Fantastic ..... Yeah , sure , the 30 second set up is a bit of a gimmick , but if I just need shelter for the night , on the side of the road for example ..... it is an easy option .
Certainly a huge step up from sleeping in a hammock on the back of the ute !!!

The old southern cross 10 x 10 with side poles are beauts as well. up pretty quick, pack up fast and have enough room for your gear and a double queen bed roll.
We have an oztent4 also and theres no room for 2 and your gear. Nothings ever perfect its how much you can be bothered and how much comfort you need I suppose determines your set up.
