RS-1S King Single Stretcher

G'day Brendan,

We dont sell ARB so i cant try this combo out to say for sure, but I can confirm our stretcher dimensions are pretty spot on!  If you take the measurements of your swag footprint, and it fits within the stretcher dimensions, you should be right.

G'dau John,

The RS-1 Stretcher is made from a 300 denier polycotton canvas which is not dissimilar to the canvas Oztent use on their RV tent range. We'd say if there is rain overnight and water pools between the stretcher and swag floor to try and dry it out as best you can during the day. Or if it is wet for your entire trip just make sure to dry it out well when you get home before you store it away.

G'day Glen,

The video is correct in demonstrating the width of the actual stretcher bed section as 100cm, however when taking into consideration the extra over hang of the shorter end post, its 105cm.  The width of the longer end post, with the extra grip section, is 111cm.  Hope that helps.

If your swag footprint is 110cm wide, it wont be suitable I'm afraid.

G'day Ian,

The Dirty Dee 900 will probably be a slightly better fit for the RS-1S. The 1100 will hang over either side a little bit so we'd probably suggest going for a slightly narrower swag instead. 

G'day Pam,

There are no peg anchor points in the RS-1 Stretcher itself, so if you're planning to use the stretcher with a swag on top then securing the swags guy ropes will keep it secured. However, if you're planning to just sleep directly on the stretcher under a tarp or hoochie then we'd suggest grabbing some pegs and guy ropes and rigging up some short guys out from each corner of the stretcher.

G'day Sean,

Thanks for your enquiry. The RS-1S King Single Stretcher is a bit too long to fit from the door to the rear of the RV5, unfortunately. Although the sleeping area offers 2.6m in width, the back of the tent is angled and the frame of the stretcher will dig into the fly of the tent so we don't recommend trying to squeeze it in. The same goes for the King Goanna Stretcher. The only Oztent stretcher that will comfortably fit from door to rear in the RV is the Oztent Gecko Stretcher. As for the Oztent Rivergum Sleeping bag, it's very popular due to the tough canvas and fleece liner but it is extra long and will fall off the end of the Gecko stretcher. If you're quite tall and need a lengthy bag and stretcher, feel free to give our customer support team a call on 1300 914 007 to discuss some options to best suit you.  

G'day Elliot,

It's hard to say how well the Ridgeback swag will fit on the RS-1S King Single Stretcher. The sizes provided indicated to me that your swag is going to be a little too large and will likely fit, but just overhang the stretcher a little. This is the widest stretcher we have apart from the double sizes with a bar down the centre. 

G'day Matt,

We haven't personally tried it as we only have one display model of the Rs-!s Stretcher. However Oztent has specifically designed it to fit, so we're pretty confident that they've tried it out and they fit well.

G'day Ron,

Yes, the Exped Megamat 10LXW will fit on the RS-1S King Single Stretcher. It will give you a little more width than the King Goanna so it might prove to be a little more comfortable. The design is essentially the same as the King Goanna, and doing a bit of a shake test on them both they're about as stable as each other.

G'day Robert,

The Darche 1100 Airvolution Swag will sort of fit on the RS-1S King Single Stretcher. The Stretcher is slightly narrower than the swag so you'll end up with a little bit of overhang, but you should be able to make it work.

G'day Jaye,

I've just had a staff member who weighs about 72kg lay on our demo model and, just to be on the safe side assuming it'll sag a little more if you weigh a little more, you'll have about 35cm of space under the stretcher when it's in use. 

G'day Mike,

We're expecting Oztent to deliver the new RS-1S stretchers in late March mate.
