Why this product

Why the OVS Nomadic 3 Standard?

The Nomadic 3 Standard is the heavier of the two 3-person Nomadic options at 174 lbs. It shares the same 600D ripstop fabric and 3-inch mattress as the Extended model. The 5-minute setup is standard for fold-outs. If you do not need the extended floor plan, the Standard model typically comes in at a lower price point. A basic 3-person fold-out for fair-weather camping.
