Our reasoning & expectations behind this.
Having used several different tents, we have been looking for one that would be a bit more robust and hopefully suitable for winter use. To that end, we have opted for the Oz-Tent RV5, a heavy-duty internally poled modular tent. (actually two of them) allowing us to use one on its own, or the two connected together, with or without the side panels for the attached awnings (we still need a second set of side panels). We also have the material for footprints, but it needs cutting to size.
Oz-Tent RV5. (basic unit)
Second sleeping compartment. (second tent).
Awning side & end panels. (need a second set).
Tent joining panel. (with gutter).
Tent footprint, ground sheet protectors. (x2).
Fiy sheets
Drive-away awning side panel. (to be constructed).
Our Oz-Tent RV5 system/setup
Single RV5 with no side or end panels fitted.
The two RV5 tents, connected, plus the side panels we currently have fitted.
Alegedly, a 5-man tent! (realistically, a 4-man). For two people, there is a lot of space.

In-use reviews.
The basic tent can be put up in 30 seconds (and by one person), but it takes a bit longer to sort out the canopy and panels. It is also far easier with two people, particularly, the canopy and panels.
