Oztent RV Plus Front Panel: Setup and Benefits

Quick Answer

The Oztent RV Plus Front Panel zips directly to the front of your RV Plus awning, creating a fully enclosed space when paired with the side panels. Setup takes just a few minutes once you know the sequence.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. 1. Attach Side Panels First: If you are creating a full enclosure, zip the RV Plus Peaked Side Panels onto the awning before adding the front panel. The front panel zips to the front edge of the awning and the side panels together. Common mistake: Trying to attach the front panel before the side panels — the zippers won't align properly.
2. 2. Align the Zipper: Hold the front panel so its zipper track matches the zipper track on the front of the awning (or the side panels). Start at one corner and zip slowly across the top and down the sides. Checkpoint: Make sure the panel is not twisted before zipping — a twisted panel will bunch and may tear the mesh.
3. 3. Secure the Bottom: Once zipped, stake down the bottom edge of the panel using the provided loops and tent pegs. This keeps the panel taut and prevents wind from lifting it. Common mistake: Skipping the stakes — an unstaked panel flaps in the wind and can damage the zipper.
4. 4. Adjust the Rain Panel: If rain is expected, unzip the canvas drop-down panel from its stowed position and zip it down over the mesh. Leave it rolled up in dry weather for ventilation. Checkpoint: Always stow the rain panel fully when not in use — a partially unzipped panel can catch wind and strain the zipper.
