supposedly they routinely use these at Everest basecamp, sounds good enough for the rest of us IMO. I would be surprised if the OZ tents could take more weight than the springbars.
OZTENTS ..... awsome!

Well, one might think a tent called "OZtent" would be made in Oz. But apparently, it is not. There are some good products coming out of China. I'd just hope after spending this kind of money, the Oztent would be one of them. There are a lot of happy customers on this thread... so perhaps it is. Not trying to debate made in china products, just gathering product information for myself.
Actually, I'm more interested in the RV series Oztents. They look like a great design especially because of the height, awning and have a 30 second set-up time. Their warranty policy, though it probably doesn't apply to US sales, sounds outstanding.
"Full 2 years parts and labour warranty.
Plus if you do have a problem with your Oztent under warranty all freight charges are ..... paid by us!!
Yes you have read it right., if your tent has a warranty problem we will pay the freight costs to pick it up from you and send it back to you.
PLUS, we are so confident that the OZTENT is the tent for you, we are prepared to let you try it out for 14 days with the option of a............
Full refund, no questions asked.
And when we say full refund we mean FULL REFUND, because we will also refund any freight costs we charge you."
However, there is no mention of the MI tents on their website.

Is that a shark in the water?
?
jim,
Sorry to hear about your tuff nite in the snow. Did you have the rain fly fully staked out? If not this could have helped as it would have prevented the bows from deflecting. However if it was wet heavy snow the Mi may have met its match.
To all those inquiring about remaining sizes all I have is 1-2 man Mi's and Kt's. I also have an RV2 and RV3.
Cheers,
Kevin

I would like to get an MI-4 or MI-5. Alf - if you're out of these, could you point me to someone else that sells them? On the OzTent website (from the OP) it only shows the RV's.

According to Oztent, the MI series is now discontinued. But perhaps these tents are still available under a different name?
Alf, did you ever find some of the side panels for my small MI tent? I really would love to have the full tent.
Also, we had a large MI tent blow down on us in a 70 mph wind last month in California...how do we get parts? The back aluminum pole broke.

Nolan,
All my stuff is currently in storage as my house is being remodeled. When I move it back in I am going to take an inventory.
In regards to the broken pole I asume you are talking about an RV series not an Mi. I need some myself as I had a side brace fold in two when my kids were doing a WWF session in the tent. Let me know what model it was and I will place an order with OZ.

The webbing on the rear stake out loop of my RV4 tore off the first time I set it up. One of the telescoping poles for the awning also snapped that first trip. The hinging sidebar snapped while setting it up in a very mild crosswind. I've got it repaired with a 6" 3/8"-drive socket extension and duct tape.
No parts available.
I curse the day I bought it.
