Searched and saw a few people have these. What do you think of them, apart from the price? Easy to use? Happy with it?

Looking to offload the Blackwolf, as its the 300 and too big for 1 person

The oztents are awesome... Fast to put up and pack away, and warm in the cooler weather...

For an extra 50 bucks, I'd get the RV2 as you get more undercover space and a slightly bigger tent, so if the weather is Shite you've got more space to sit in

Drifta has done a recent video review, which is pretty comprehensive

The RV1 is pretty small. It's basically the same size as a swag, but you can't pack it up with a decent mattress in it.
They don't make a lot of sense to me to be honest.

I reckon either a jet tent bunker, or even a normal swag, would be a better idea.
I've been using a Darche dusk to dawn swag on a stretcher for a while, but just bought a bunker and an exped megamat, for ease of setup and pack up.

We have an RV5. Great tent, easy to put up. Is 2m+ long though, so a roof rack is necessary. Great for a couple (like most tents, halve the number of occupants to get the comfortable amount of people in the tent  ;D ). For travelling on my own, I use a jet bunker. Very comfy and you are up off the ground.

I have a 2.5M Jet Tent that I use when I base camp.
Can be set up in less than 5 minutes and packed down in less than 10 minutes.
When staying longer I then set up the annex
