King Goanna Stretcher

G'day Sev,

The stretcher itself in 80cm wide. The 90cm refers to the end poles, that have have extra length for ease of clipping them in when the stretcher is under tension.   Try the OZtent RS-1 Stretcher or the Darche XL 100 Stretcher, both are designed to be used with swags. 

G'day Josh,

Although we don't sell replacement bags for the Oztent King Goanna Stretcher Bed, we may be able to arrange a special order for you. Please email our customer support team at service@snowys.com.au with your enquiry and we'll follow up with our purchasing team and get back to you :) 

G'day Tarynn,

Provided that you've got a nice clear camping space, free to twigs, stones etc. then I can't see any reason why you'd need to worry about the feet of the Oztent King Goanna Stretcher doing damage to the floor of your tent. If you did have a bit of a rough ground though, then I'd probably recommend a ground sheet for your tent. 

G'day Trent, 

As long as the mat is under 210cm long and 80cm wide then it will fit nicely on top of the King Goanna stretcher. 

There are heaps of different options available in our range, so if you want some help narrowing it down to what's going to suit you, it might be best getting on the blower and giving our customer support team a call on 1300 914 007. 

G'day Kay,

The fabric on the Oztent King Goanna Stretcher isn't removable so any washing would need to be by lightly sponging spot stains etc. The padding is designed to improve the insulation value of the stretcher so won't allow much, if any ventilation through the fabric.

G'day Brad, 

The King Goanna Stretcher is a nice solid, wide stretcher. Any self-inflating mat that's less than 80cm wide will fit on it perfectly. Once you start getting over the 80cm mark, you're going to start hanging over the edge and that's probably not going to be ideal. Most of our single self-inflating mats will suit your needs, so feel free to go for the one you find most comfortable to lie on.

G'day Helen,

We haven't stocked the Black Wolf Turbo Bed so there isn't much feedback I can offer - sorry. It appears according to Black Wolf's website that it's a discontinued product.

If your concern is over stability, can I recommend the Oztrail Easy Fold Stretcher available here (also available in Jumbo and Queen sizing). The Easy Fold Stretcher uses body weight on the stretcher to stabilise its movement. On top of this, the stretcher is one complete piece making set up and pack down really easy. It's by far our most popular stretcher.

Hi Don, 

We're not familiar with a Kings Horizon double as it's not a brand that we stock, but I can tell you that the biggest stretchers we have are the Zempire Twin Speedy Stretcher Bed which is 193L x 132W x 47H cm, and the Oztrail Easy Fold Queen Stretcher which is 200L x 144W x 42H cm. 

Those may suit, but I would suggest cracking out a tape measure or looking for the details on the packaging of your swag, as that will help narrow it down. 

G'day Don, 

The King Goanna Stretcher is 80cm wide, so it's definitely not going to fit a double-sized swag. It may fit a king single, but it's really going to depend on the model. I'd suggest having a look at the specs of your swag on our website, and comparing it to this stretcher to see if it's a good fit. 

A popular stretcher that goes well with a swag is the Outdoor Connection Sundowner Titan Camp Stretcher, as it's extra wide and long - which makes a great combo with a swag! 

G'day Bianca, 

I've just had a look at our display King Goanna Stretcher, and the ends of the pole on either end of the stretcher do stick out 8cm (which you can get an idea of in the second image linked on the product page).

If you were to put two together there would be a significant gap of about 16cm, so they're probably not the best model to do this with. 

G'day Bianca,

There are no storage pockets or pouches of any kind on this stretcher, it sounds like it would be a good idea though! 

 G’day Emma,

From comparing the dimensions of the tow, it seems that you could fit two King Goanna stretchers in the Turbo Twin 300- but you’d have to fit it in across each room rather than lengthways, because of the slope of the rooms.

And as for the mat vs stretcher decision, mats provide cushioning and insulation, whereas the stretcher gives you height which some people find more comfortable as it’s more like sleeping on a bed at home.

If you’d rather save on the space, and you’re not bothered by sleeping low to the ground then a mat on its own would be fine.

But if you prefer to sleep off the ground then a combo of the two may be the best option – it all comes down to personal preference really.
