Gecko Stretcher

G'day Robin,

The carry bag for the Gecko Stretcher isn't waterproof. It's made from a polyester fabric so will provide a little protection but it won't keep the rain.

G'day Trent,

The Oztent Gecko Stretcher is wider and higher than the Oztent Goanna Stretcher. The Gecko is 80cm wide and sits 48cm off the ground, the Goanna is 66cm wide and only sits 40cm off the ground. 

G'day Joe,

Yes the Oztrent Gecko Stretcher will fit in your RV2. Best bet would be to set it up across the tent rather than into the tent due to the slope of the canvas at the back of the RV2.

G'day Sonia,

I've just had a wander down to the shop floor to check this out for you. Both the Zempire Bomberpad and the Exped Megamat fit on the Oztent Gecko Stretcher really well. Both had a small amount of overhang and either end, but not enough to cause any sort of issues.

G'day Jason,

These are great choices as the camp mat os 60cm wide so would fit well inside the side poles of the 80cm stretcher.  

In regards to tying the mat in, we don't have anything specially designed for this but you could simply use occy straps or webbing straps with adjustable closures at either end of the mat so your little one is comfortable in the middle.

G'day Moana, 

I've just had a look at the display models, and the head and foot bar of the Goanna stretcher sticks out 4cm, so if you put them together there will be an approx 8cm size gap between the two stretchers.

You may still be able to share bedding if the blankets etc are a queen size but there will definitely be a noticeable gap due to the head and foot bars. 

G'day Ian, 

If you're going to go for a mat that fits inside the frame (under 66cm) then the best option would be the Oztrail Camp Mat as it's going to fit the width and length of the Gecko really well without any overhang.

There is also the EPE Sim Camper F35 which is a self-inflating mat, but that option isn't going to provide as much cushioning as it's a little bit thinner than the Oztrail Camp Mat. 

Keep in mind that there is a little bit of padding inbuilt on the Gecko stretcher so the mat you use on top doesn't have to be very thick.
