Use and Caring
Conditioning Canvas
It is important that you season your canvas when it’s new and also after long periods
of storage so it gives its best performance. Simply pitch your tent and wet it down
with a garden hose. This enables the stitching holes to shrink around the thread in
the stitch lines and the cotton in the canvas to swell. Let the canvas dry completely
before repeating this process another two times.
Due to the nature of canvas, any seam even after seasoning can still cause a drip. If
you do notice a seam has not been seasoned properly, simply rub a wax candle on
the exterior of the stitch line. This will create a waterproof barrier quickly and easily.
If cared for correctly, your tent will still be around for the next generation of campers
to enjoy.
Ventilation
Maintain adequate ventilation inside the tent at all times.
Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree
limbs, lightning, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards,
to reduce the risk of loss or injury.
Select a site that’s level, well drained, and is protected from the wind and other
elements. Clear the campsite of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for
Warning
Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc.) inside
or within proximity of this tent. Use of fuel-burning products inside or within
proximity of the tent can result in the accumulation of dangerous concentrations of
carbon monoxide – a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that is slightly denser
than air. Breathing carbon monoxide could cause serious injury or death.
Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent. This tent is made with flame
resistant fabric but it is not fireproof. The tent fabric will burn if left in continuous
contact with an open flame or other heat source. Failure to keep all flame and heat
sources away from this tent may result in a fire that could cause serious injury or
death.
Before using this product, read and fully understand: 1) attached warnings; 2) the
instruction manual and all accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these
directions can cause an unsafe situation leading to injury.

comfort and to protect the floor of the tent. If possible, avoid setting the tent on
ground that is already wet. If this is not possible keep the tent well ventilated to
minimize humidity and condensation within the tent.
Pegs and Ropes
Peg down the tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss or injury to tent
users.
All tents require pegging to prevent them from being blown away in strong winds.
Always anchor the tent. Tent pegs and ropes are supplied to safely setup the tent in
most situations. It may be necessary to purchase additional and/or specialized pegs
and ropes for use in extreme or varied soil conditions.
Tightly tensioning the tent with attached ropes greatly increases the tent’s strength
and stability. This will also reduce fabric sagging and wrinkles and prevent rainwater
from pooling.
Using a Floor Saver
A Floor Saver keeps the tent floor clean and dry and it minimises floor wear and tear
by protecting it from excessive abrasion. The RV5 MeshFloor Saver suits the RX5.
Condensation
When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric condensation can
form. In most situations condensation can be controlled by allowing air inside the
tent to vent outside. During periods of high humidity, such as during rain storms, it
may be dicult to prevent or reduce condensation. In these situations ventilation
could actually increase the condensation by drawing in more humid air.
To reduce condensation use the included Tent Fly. The Tent Fly is designed to reduce
the temperature dierence between the inside and outside of the tent. It is normal to
find the underside of the fly covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the floor inside the tent. This is also normal
and does not indicate leaking fabric.
Zippers
Be careful when using tent zippers. Go slow when zipping. Make sure to align the
zipper tracks before sliding the zipper and don’t exert excessive force on the zipper.
If fabric gets caught in the zipper, stop and slowly reverse the zipper to remove. A
silicone based lubricant may be used to improve zipping.
When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, it can cause abrasion and damage to the zipper
sliders. You can clean the zipper teeth by rinsing them with water. The pressure from
a regular garden hose will push out small sand particles.

Cleaning
If the tent should require cleaning, set it up and use a sponge with warm water to
clean. If further cleaning is required, a garden hose can be used to wash o any
remaining dirt. Do not use detergent, soap, bleach, or have the tent dry cleaned, as
this may remove the waterproofing and/or damage the fabric. Allow the tent to air-
dry completely before packing or storing.
Storage
Packing and storing the tent while it’s wet or damp leads to premature breakdown
of the canvas and coatings. Prolonged exposure to moisture causes the waterproof
layer to break down, becoming soft, sticky and no longer waterproof. Storing a wet
tent can cause mildew to form on the fabric. Mildew will cause the tent to stain,
smell, and may lead to the premature breakdown of the waterproof coating. Dry the
tent thoroughly after every trip.
Animals and Insects
To prevent damage from animals chewing holes in the tent fabric, never store food
or cooking equipment in the tent.
When packing away ensure that there are no insects inside the tent as they may try
to eat their way out, causing holes in the material.
Important Notes
1. If you have an Oztent Floor Saver, place it where you want to set up prior to
setting up your tent.
2. Assemble your Tent Fly before Step 6 of “Setting Up the Oztent RX” in the
following instructions.
3. Pack your tent away in the reverse order of set up. Roll up your rear window
and front awning and leave the front door open. Remove your awning poles
and take all pegs out. Lower the tent to the ground and first swing in arm “A”
followed by arm “B”. Always swing the arms low to the ground.
4. If you have an Oztent RX-5, ensure your back extension is neatly tucked inside
the tent prior to pack down.
5. Although the Oztent RX series and accessories are designed for one person
operation, a second person will make your set-up significantly easier and faster.
6. The following illustrations are artistic representations of the Oztent RX series
and may dier from the production model. However, the overall operation will
be the same.
