I'm an OzTent RV5 fan; they have two large distinct rooms, one for sleeping and one for cooking and there's plenty of seating room for two large deck chairs. They handle heavy rain and strong winds and provide fantastic sun protection. I surf in South Australia in some extreme weather, and I feel very safe and comfortable in it.
Good review. Been looking at these for a few months now to replace my RV5. I'll probably get the extra bit for the front to use for sitting and cooking in when the weather isn't great
Nice mate great review as always defo on my list but out my price range at the min haha got to love the ridge monkey gear they just do it right Keep up the top work
Great review. It’s awesome when you suddenly find the EXACT UA-cam video you’ve been searching for. Great detail mate. I want one. Do you feel it’s best just to order direct from RM?
Hi! Nice review, maybe I missed some detail shoots of some parts as joints, floor, etc, but fine anyway. I’m thinking on purchase the OZTent rv5 for overlanding but after watch your video and some research I’m not sure now. This ridge monkey looks fantastic and seems to improve every little detail from the OZTent. But, I have a couple of concerns that I would appreciate your feedback: 1. I have seen a video and some comments complaining hardly about crazy condensation. It’s strange looking at the the used fabric but. Some condensation is normal in some situations but this one was insane, absolutely unacceptable. One guy wrote also about leaks under rain through the seems. 2. What about the floor? Is it open at the entrance? And if so, have you fixed it? Did you sew the fabric? I need a quality tent for overlanding with my wife and little son, so the last I want is having problems if this type. Thanks a lot!
Looks a great option , shame it wasn’t a sewn in ground sheet , bit to susceptible to creepy crawleys lol I’ve have had some nasty bites over the years
Hi There, the XF2 standard DOES have a built in ground sheet but I think the XF 1 has a romovable one. I agree, the built in ground sheet helps you sleep little batter! LOL!
@@andyisherwood1027 oh that’s helpful thanks I saw a vid on putting it up looked like a separate one maybe that was a mk1 . This might be just what I need . Thanks 👍
The drifta bag is rubbish save your money or go down to you local canvas guy and have it made. I have a drifta bag and it failed after I got it out of the box. It only has single stitching ant the webbing handle aren’t sown in to support the weight of the bag and tent, hence it ripped immediately.

The porch is a great piece of kit well designed. However it takes a while to set up. But worth it apparently
