RS-1 Swag

G'day James,

The RS-1 Swag is a tiny bit wider and longer than the XL100 stretcher, so while it is possible, it's not an exact fit. Good news though, Oztent do make the RS-1S Stretcher that is a perfect fit, and has some handy attachment points for the RS-1 Swag itself.

G'day Simmon,

It will be alittle on the big side but I reckon the RV1 Mesh Floor Saver would be a great option, otherwise, the 8 x 8 Oztrail Ultramash Tarp would also do the trick!

G'day Stephen,

At this point in time, we're not aware of any changes planned for the RS-1 Swag. There are windows for ventilation in the top of the front doors, the rear windows, and the front awning flips back to act as a flysheet, so there is a fair bit of ventilation in the RS-1 Swag as it is.

G'day Damien,

The Darche ATM 1100 is a tiny bit wider than the RS-1 Swag itself, but there will be just enough flexibility in the bucket floor to fit the mat. Most of our other mats are only about 80cm wide, so probably won't be quite wide enough, so this will likely be the best option.

G'day Karl,

You won't easily fit yourself and a stretcher in an RS-1. It's really just designed as a swag.

G'day Sue,

The Oztent RS-1 uses a fabric Oztent call ModCan which is a 210D Ripstop Polyester. It differs from the canvas many manufacturers use in that it relies on a polyurethane coating on the inside of the fabric for waterproofing. So in the long, long term, the waterproof coating may not stay as waterproof as canvas but the upside is, it's a much lighter material making transporting and pitching easier. Generally, a synthetic material like this will be adequate for the vast majority of uses but those looking at extended, continuous use such as a big trip around the whole country might find canvas is a more durable option. Both materials should be adequately waterproof but stability is probably more influenced by the frame design and the ability to guy the tent or swag out. 

G'day Ash,

Given that the mattress is only 25mm thick, the verdict amongst the staff here is if you want a really good nights sleep it's probably worth looking at an aftermarket sleeping mat to go in the RS-1. But if you were just after some basic comfort it'll do the trick. 

G'day Andrew,

You shouldn't have too many issues at all using the Oztent RS-1 Swag on top of a stretcher like the Sundowner Titan. Just be wary of making sure that you rope your swag out well. 

G'day Andrew,

We've just gone back to the drawing board to check this out and from trying it in the shop it might not be ideal as there could be a risk of the framework bending with the sag in the stretcher material.

G'day Brook,

To be totally honest with you, we're not too sure about the quality of the mattress in the Oztent RS-1 Swag yet, we're yet to have our first delivery come in. It might be worth noting though that the mattress is removable, so you can always swap it out if you'd like. We're looking at doing a review of them when they come into stock though!

G'day Karl,

While a groundsheet isn't required, they are always beneficial to protect against moisture and damage.

Yes - the Exped Megamat 10LXW will fit with no worries.

G'day Steven,

That's the only downside that we have identified so far with the Oztent RS-1 in that sleeping gear will need to be removed before packing it down.
