Learn the step-by-step process to attach the Oztent RX-5 Living Room and Zip-In Floor, creating a weatherproof annex for your tent.
Quick answer
Attach the Oztent RX-5 Living Room to your tent’s front opening, then zip in the floor to create a fully enclosed, weatherproof space—no tools required.
Why add the Living Room and Zip-In Floor?
The RX-5 Living Room expands your tent’s usable area without adding setup time. The unique shape maximizes storage and headroom, while the Zip-In Floor keeps the space clean and dry. This combo turns your entry area into a protected sleeping or living zone, ideal for wet ground or buggy evenings.
Setup steps
- 1. Position the RX-5 tent: Place your Oztent RX-5 on level ground with the main entrance facing the desired direction. Unfold and set up the tent fully before attaching the Living Room. Make sure the ground is clear of sharp objects to avoid damaging the Zip-In Floor.
- 2. Attach the Living Room frame: Locate the integrated poles along the top edge of the Living Room. Clip the frame onto the tent’s front opening using the provided attachment points. The fabric should drape evenly. Do not force the clips—if they don’t align, check that the tent is fully erected and the poles are fully extended.
- 3. Stake out the Living Room: Pull the bottom edges of the Living Room outward to create a taut, full-height space. Secure the corners and side panels with the included stakes and guylines. Staking at a 45-degree angle provides the best hold in soft ground.
- 4. Zip in the floor: Unroll the Zip-In Floor inside the Living Room. Align the zipper track along the bottom edge of the Living Room walls and zip it completely around the perimeter. Start zipping from one corner and work your way around to avoid bunching the fabric.
- 5. Check the seal and adjust: Walk around the annex and verify that all zippers are closed and the floor lies flat. Tighten any loose guylines to eliminate sagging. A small gap at the zipper ends can let in rain or insects—double-check those corners.
