OZtrail Camping Equipment
Bad purchase – Easy to put up. Looked great. Bought it for Christmas 2024 for the 6x kids. Christmas night, they were woken by water dripping on their heads, from… Read more
the seams of the fly, in several places. The water drips from the seams, pools on the inner tent, then runs down through the mesh. The zips are cheap. You can hear and feel the zips, how cheap they are. Also, this tent was being seriously whipped by the wind. Im surprised it didnt tear. I've repaired the fly that many times its starting to look ugly. It needs another brand fly, not another Oztrail replacement fly. Majorly disappointed with this purchase.
Pretty Good – Had this swag for nigh on 6 years. Served well. Doesn't stand up to any decent rain but a good swag in terms of portability. Still going strong. Not… Read more
great for taller people (hence why I'm looking to upgrade). As per concerns about sagging, whilst it is noticeable, it doesn't really cause too much of a problem. Plenty of room inside.

Oz-Fail – My brother has a 15 year old version still great, but this is a shamble with shocking mattress and holes appearing faster than a pair of stockings. I've only used 3 times so far shall but will be interesting to see it in a year. Show details
This chair is excellent for the camping style we need. Dont need to fuss with tables and added options they detract from the fundamentals It has the… Read more
compactability that Flat Folds dont have Hard arms that assist in getting up (after a few wines!) 200kg weight limit so solid construction Adjustable lunbar support to keep those kidneys in strong heavy weight bag thats under 900mm long for the best sorage Easy fold down and up (although arm locating catches need some pracktice) Generaly a good solid fabric and stitching style and colour.
Would have liked aluminium frame but steel will give added strength On special at Anaconda 119 got 2 all that needed is a foot stool
Great for a large group for Rain protection – Used this for the first time for a Neighbourhood street party on a grass footpath. Easy to setup, but you really need 2 or more people. Strongly… Read more
suggest to watch Youtube video. The look of it is very professional. Kept us dry in sometimes heavy rainfall. There was no pooling so the yellow Hydroflow bars really work. For our event, an all round success. Please not that we only had light winds on the day we used it. Its about 40 kg all up.
The roof inserts make this tent a nightmare. I can see why Snowys, nor any business reviewer, did not do a video on set up. Im writing this review… Read more
because there are none that cover setting up. I bought this ensuite from Big W. It pops up easily and is easy to stow away, after watching online pack up videos. This ensuite comes with fibreglass rods to install. Four support the sides and rear. These are easy to install and do provide extra support to the frame. Two are to support the roof on both sides. These are a total nightmare. I camp for stress relief and the roof support installation is a huge fail, in my opinion. There is a small insert for the ends to go into and you can see them in the photo. There was no need for the rods to be so long and so fiddly to get in. I gave up. Fortunately, the roof holds up fine without them but not in rain. Honestly, it is easier and quicker to put up to songle ensuits. The tiny centre hook will hold a light. Even with supports installed the hook won't hold much weight as it is sewn into the fabric. There are 6 ropes to peg out, giving this ensuite good stability.
As stated, there aren't any videos showing roof rod installation and now I understand why. There is a zip that allows me to access the towel hung on the outside. When camping where privacy is required, it will be very convenient to shower one side and get dressed on the other side, after pushing the dunny into a corner.
This ensuite appears strong and well made. Make aure you set up with ALL doors zipped. I think I will take my 'no name' single, if there is any chance of rain because roof rod installation is frustrating, difficult and not worth the hassle unless I am camping for at least a week.
A good no fuss tent but Slightly out on dimensions – I haven't taken this tent camping yet, but have set it up at home. It's much lighter and easier to set up than the canvas cabin tent it replaces. … Read more
The colours are pleasing and will blend into the surrounds nicely. The two large windows are a nice feature and good for ventilation. The guy ropes seem adequate but I will replace them and the pegs which I think are a little under sized. It is advertised as being 'waterproof' but that is open to interpretation, I would prefer to have a figure in mm's which is easier to compare with other products.
I am happy with this tent and would give it top stars but it is not quite as advertised. It is advertised as having a 305 X 280cm floor space, 280 across the doors and 305cm deep. I loosely measured mine at 280cm X 250cm deep on the inside. It turns out the tent is actually 305cm from peg to peg across the doors and 280cm deep from peg to peg. That sounds like I'm being a pit picky but I may have chosen the other option if I'd known the correct dimensions.
Excellent Swag Alternative – After originally purchasing a swag and not enjoying it or feeling comfortable I went looking for something else just for me on overnight stays whilst… Read more
the kids slept in their own tent. Even if I was traveling by myself on the motorbike I could fit this on the bike as the bag is tiny and when going in the car it can fit anywhere. On the first trip I took it away on (see pic, although I think I had started disassembling it when I took the pic so it may be missing the fly) we had arrived there just before midnight and I wasn't in the mood for reading instructions, 5 minutes later it was set up and ready for sleeping in. It was a dewy morning and I didn't get wet at all, the tent packed up back inside the bag quite easily and we were on our way back on the road quicker than normal. My suggestion would be to take a single mattress (not overly thick) for those rock hard grounds such as we found in Duaringa, and invest in some more robust pegs. Apart from that, if a swag makes you feel claustrophobic than this is a viable alternative.
Good but valve can be finicky - UPDATED worth a second try? – Large and cumfy. Takes time to inflate (especially your first time). It self inflates... be patient You can put in extra air (not much required).… Read more
most people say do not use your beath to inflate but as yet have found no pump / ,connection that will suitable go over in some way the valve in any fashion (you dent need high pressure at all..)
The trick is making sure the valve is sealed once you have it inflated. It needs to be as concentric and seated in the housing as best as possible (it has no fixed axis it is free floating like many). Valve is tricky enough that we specifically carry a spray bottle of soapy water when camping.. so you get the picture.
Pack up is not as hard as people say you just need to fully open the valve initially and fold a few times then close valve to "air out only" then fold few more times..
The pack bag is oversized because you never get it back to original (like a bail of hay) and yes it is large! but that's comfort.
If i could chose again I would NOT buy just because of the valve (would choose a brand that does not use that type of valve)
UPDATE FEB 2024: Purchased an Exped Megamat 10 LXW (a 100mm - 4" unit) the valves are very good... But its no where near!! as comfortable as the Oztrail Fatmat 750 was when it was not leaking air. The Exped is s l o w to inflate and no mater how you balance the air it still is not as comfy as a Fatmat 750.. (and there is no way I'm going to spend a fortune on an Exped 150mm - 6" unit).
End of day contemplating getting another Oztrail 3D fatmat 750.. just have to pray that the valve works longer than a few nights because sleep is number one when your away camping.
Piece of crap – Paid $60, stopped working after 24 hrs, needs to be manually spin started. Moves next to no air when it worked anyway. My worst purchase in recent history. Show details
Poor quality product, misleading product claim – Bought a OZtrail RV Shade Awning 2.5M from Snowys October last year and found a small hole during the test at home. Broken during the second time use… Read more
on the beach with great weather. Contacted with Snowys customer services and was told it was broken just because I did not use properly. The product could not be fixed because the parts was out of stock. After months of waiting, there is still no stock.
Rubbish, complete rubbish – Inferior frame structure. Two sections snapped the second time I've used it. Not fit for purpose, non-durable and dangerous. Useless… Read more
"guarantee"....the "Australian Owned" company and TentWorld advised that none of their frames are guaranteed anywhere in Australia...THIS SAYS ENOUGH! This non-Australian made product is made of 0.6mm plate, which is thinner than my umbrella's handle. Never buy this product! Disappointment guaranteed.
Very concerning that the Modena Camp Chair would break like this, right at the welding, after someone simply sat on it like its intended use. The… Read more
chair wasn't used much. Oz Trail are being funny about returns, despite it clearly being one of their products. Having a product break so dangerously should at least be acknowledge.
Poor quality – This is the quality . Destroyed after 3 times used outdoor in our camping trips . The base just collapsed . Very disappointing. I don't want to try any other of their products after this
