Nice , I liked the way you leaned the poles back against the tent first , that makes it so much easier , Cheers for that .

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

So much easier, thanks for watching

[@gerardm5911]

I will preface this with - Kristie you are a legend - getting out there and enjoying camping and doing it solo (well with Jacko in tow anyway) is a true inspiration .... I have an RV5 that initially will be setting up solo and you have given me some great pointers to going about this alone - thank you

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Thank you 😊 Go rock it out ,safe travels, and thanks for watching 👀 🙏

[@asd67lkj]

Hi Kristie, I hope this well presented video inspires other solo ladies, or ladies with young children to take up camping. You prove that it can be done without drama.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Thank you 😊

[@linricks3634]

Hi Kristie, the first time I put my awning on my own it looked like something out of monty python. I did one pole then it fell over when I got to the other side. I couldn't help laughing. you made that look very easy.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

We me too 😂😂😂

[@kindkindnsmile6761]

Love this setup with the Oztent RV 3 and the suv tent too.

[@scott5375]

Thanks Kristie, this is a great set up and very well explained and filmed. Jacko is just gorgeous. I look forward to watching all your videos.

[@loubylou1810]

That's a great way to set up the tent! Agree with you as well about investing in the whole set up. It's been well worth it

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Cheers Laura 🙏🏻 thanks heaps for your feedback and watching 🌹

[@jesseflorence]

This was truly awesome to watch. I am also a single woman who camps. I have the rv4 and I struggle get the awning out. I can't wait to use these tips.

[@vallygurney7193]

Fantastic tips.. I will try that way next time. Thank you

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Awesome, also welcome to Ladies Camping Australia 👍🙏🏻

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Loved watching this video,brings back a lot of memories,especially the one about digging a trench to keep out the water when it rains. We always did this, Dad & Mum had a George Pickers 12x12 canvas tent in those days. No quick put up then all hands on deck! So you young people have it very good. Bye for now safe camping from Elaine Brisbane.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Thanks for watching Elaine 🙏

[@michaelkeenan6668]

Nice review, I also like the idea of getting the additional sides and even the end panel, and connecting to the car or an awning to give you more versatile space. With transporting, may I suggest you put the RV3 tent on the racks first, then strap it down, but double the straps over, then lock it. Then put your other bags on top of the RV3 as it will stop those bags from sagging and rubbing on the roof. Just tie the down with some seperate tie-downs thru the handles, for extra safety. You can tie the bags to the RV3 bag, and or the Rhino bars as well to make it easier. You do a good job setting the tent and sides up on your own. Some good thinking goes into that.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Awesome thank you for your advice, I will do that next time , so much appreciated Michael 🙏🏻👍

[@eugenedarvell8470]

Thank you for a honest and good instructional video set up the RV3. I live in the UK and I’ll be taking out in September for its maiden voyage, learned quite a lot how to set up the awning.. thanks again

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Awesome my pleasure 🙏

[@reddyman6915]

Great idea just using the Velcro on the side panels . I have a RV 1 , with side and front panel as well for 15 years and still going strong . Never thought about just using the Velcro ,as the zips can be a pain in strong winds 😂 wish they made the tent bag a bit bigger though . Cheers 🍻

[@jannettedundon6598]

Yes I have a Oztent and love it so easy to set up and pack up I throw it on the back of my Ute.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Great investment, safe travels xx

[@AJBAdventures]

Nice walkthrough of your Oztent setup 👍 Have just ordered the RV3 and can't wait to get out and try it in the Lake District, UK. Hopefully it deals with our wet weather here! Thanks Aaron

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

That’s very exciting, make sure your order the tent fly for full water 💦 protecting 👏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AJBAdventures]

@@KristieDeanADVENTURES thanks, I'll see how it manages this weekend, but will add that to the list, also ordered some Thule locking straps 👍

[@dentray]

I did all this on a Hyundai I20 for 2 years lol, RV1 is a much better solo set up in my opinion but they discontinued the RV1 for some silly reason! I actually have not used my RV3 since I got the RV1, same weight but only 1.6 long. Fantastic Awning set up, you learn every day, wind is the RV Awning solo set up enemy but this is brilliant! thanks.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching 🙏

Yahoo , that’s cool enjoy . I run a Ladies Camping Australia fb group, if you are interested? Details are in the description 💐

[@gablyon6669]

Hey, I travel with box trailer and thinking of getting side and front panels, mostly just to be used as a change room. Tossing up if its worth the extra $ ??

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

@@gablyon6669 I believe so ...

thanks, I joined fb group too.

Awesome set up! I’m looking at getting one for our trips in Wyoming and Colorado. Right now we camp out of the back of our truck but would like to be able to have a base camp so that we can take the truck to explore the area

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Thanks for watching Safe travels 🙏

[@joshuanicholson420]

Thanks for sharing, many interesting points and considerations. Considering the RV3 plus as current Coleman instant up is starting breakdown. Tent, size & setup isn’t my concern anymore, packed size & cost are the factors that will decide. Actually cost isn’t issue, since they appear to good value over the lifetime of tent. For same cost of RV, I could go for a RTT (another entirely different debate)

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Awesome, good luck 🤞 Let me know how you go ✍️

[@northislandguy]

I had some off cut marine carpet and cut to size and put it in my daughters RV3 floor and it’s been a permanent thing since 😂 Good video great setup 🤙🏽

Hi Kristie. Great video. I have a RV5 and purchased a mount from Drifta that bolts to the cross rails of the roof rack but note sure if they are still available. Take Care

Hey Kristie, Great job! Gee you are well organised and have a terrific set up process with lots of cost creature comforts! Really enjoyed your video, and I'm sure you are inspiring many people to 'get out there' and have some adventure! Just one suggestion, you might want to consider a larger hammer/mallet. Something with a larger face and with a little more weight. You'll find it so much easier to get those pegs in, especially when the ground is hard. Happy camping and thank you for the video!

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Thank you heaps for watching, thankfully I have that bigger mallet now , Aldi had one I grabbed. So awesome advice, it definitely is easier for sure . Safe travels and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎶✌️✨✨✨

@stevezodiac575 yes awesome value 👏 winning deal

[@prernarawat8412]

wow beautiful

[@tullysika]

I had one found it was too heavy to get up and down from the roof and getting it back into the bag absolute pain in the arse. Once it's up it's a good tent. I keep the tagalong and use that by itself, big enough for me to sleep in comfortably.

[@PaulineHurley]

Hi Kristie. Love your videos. Would love to see how you attach the fly sheet on your own. 🏕

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Hello 👋 The trick is to attach the fly and zip it on when the tent is laid out but not up .. Then raise the tent from the inside and it’s attached.. then leave the fly attached at all times , as in pack it up with it on .. it will fit in the bag .. many do that ..

[@PaulineHurley]

@@KristieDeanADVENTURES Thank you.

[@andrewcarr3650]

Zip the sides on before you stretch out the front, much easier that way.

[@Herosade]

Hello again, couple of questions 1. What's the weight limit on that roof rack!? Lol. I also just bought a Thule force xt. 2. I assume that's the companion 45l transit? Looking to buy one was wondering if it's suitable for 2 adult and 1 child, and is the cooler compartment cold enough? I researched the companion holds almost 20 cans less than others 45l fridges. Thank you!

[@GlennHuxtable]

Where were you camping this time? Looks like a nice spot.

[@morrisyarnell6083]

I also have an RV3 but I have a Land Rover with a Front Runner roof rack and the tent just fits the rack but I do bungie it down as I travel over very rough roads. I admire your system.

[@KristieDeanADVENTURES]

Happy Camping ,thanks for watching 😉

Can I ask why the car to travel in.small 4wd be perfect.i just found your channel

I live in a city so a small car is better for me , cheaper and easier to pack the roof .. it’s what I have atm 🙏🏻
