Setting Up Your Oztent
Step 1: 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
to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements.
Clear the area of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor.
If possible, avoid setting the tent on ground that is already wet. If you can’t, minimize the resulting
humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well ventilated.
We also recommend that you consider some form of ground sheet/protection to minimize wear, tear
and damage to the floor of your tent. The Oztent SV-5 Max Mesh Floor Saver is an option you may wish
to consider. If you are using a ground sheet/floor saver, ensure that you peg it down before setting up
your tent.
Step 2: Lay Out Your Oztent SV-5 Max
2.1 Unpack your tent. Place the poles, pegs/stakes, tarp extension and fly somewhere clear of your
tent space.
2.2 Release the strap around your tent.
2.3 Unroll the tent and then swing out both arms, one at a time.
