Honest Owners Review Oztent RS-1 Series II Swag and RS-1 King Single Stretcher 

Much appreciated!

Awesome thanks guys! Cheers for watching and the kind feedback!

Outstanding thanks for watching!!

Thank very much! Lots more coming in the next few weeks. Very exciting time for my set up!!

Thanks very much mate! Since owning this swag for almost a year now I might do an updated review as there are a couple of things I’d like to add. One of which is the issue of condensation build up on the inside of the roof and under the mattress in colder weather. I have tried a fair few things to minimise this including opening up as many of the openings as I can (everything bar the main entrance) and still getting a fair bit of build up. That being said I have heard of a moisture absorbent pad people have been using under the mattress that is a relatively good solution. Just something to keep in mind.

Eventually I’ll do a rooftop on a mini off-road trailer

@@MightyOverlander yeah cool bro Lov my RTT

Just bear in mind because it’s more of a traditional tent material you do have to be mindful of condensation in cooler or moist weather. Just make sure your vents are open. I’m running a rooftop tent now but it did me very well when I was running the RS1 and my friend now uses it

Thanks Al! I have a new camping video coming out tomorrow, be sure to stay tuned 😄

No worries. Just be aware their is a bit of a condensation problem with this swag

Haha thanks! I heard hammock camping is called a Bearrito? Haha

Great point!

Yeah I have been looking at a couple.

Thanks Mikey!

Just one thing with this swag, they do have a pretty annoying condensation problem. I’ve since swapped to my current swag which is a more traditional cotton canvas set up

Just be careful of condensation. Keep the vents open.

Much appreciated! Plenty more of these coming over the next 12 months. I have a picture in my head and with the help of Phil and the Tokyo Motorsport team we will make it a reality!

Gday spencer! Still loving the RS-1 however the condensation issue is still something I’m trying to solve. It’s only really a problem when it gets cold, and it’s more noticeable under the mattress. I’m thinking of maybe trying a towel under there or something but still working on a solution!

Not sure to be honest. The hard part is the mattress is segmented in order to fold up inside the bag. You’d be better off getting a self inflatable to put ontop of the existing one. That being said I’d probably only chose this swag for warmer climate use

So the condensation issue is only when it’s really cold. Some other owners have suggested a absorbent pad to throw under the mattress so I might try that come winter. And yes I believe the specs are correct with the size

Thank you so much for your reply

@@rcuintheshed6981 always happy to help!

It was fine whilst I was using it. The inside of the bag is rubberised so it’s pretty weather proof. Top tip, grab an old candle and run it over your zips, wax will help keep the water out

Not really. The issue is the material used. If it was a two layer shell construction with a bug mesh inner with a seperate rain fly over the top would be better

Too kind!

Gday mate, thanks for the kind words! Set up is did well over the winter period. Only issue I’ve had is condensation build up can be a bit of a pain during the colder nights. Im looking forward to getting out there in the warmer months to see how it goes. Next trip is planned for November when I get back from being away with work. The Oztent line in general is pretty good. I do have my eye on another swag but I’ll save that for next year. I only secure the swag/stretcher to the ground if the weather is up. But generally it’s not really needed as the swag is strapped down to the stretcher. The main reason I went with this is purely being off the ground offers a bit more comfort and protection.

@@MightyOverlander thanks for the reply and feedback 👍🏽🍺

Thanks for watching! The swag bag is weatherproof and the stretcher stays pretty flat but does “flex” down the centre line a little with your weight on it. But I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable at all.

Bag is not waterproof…. So can you class it weatherproof?

Stretcher bag is not waterproof either

Keep in mind your condensation management

Check out Wildtrak Leisure Australia. I use their gear now and it’s much lighter, way better price time and very good quality. I much prefer the cotton canvas stuff now

That’s what did it for me. Needed a better set up. Old swag was just too bulky

Heyyy my man! I still like this work however I am actually shooting a new swag review this weekend. The only issue that I have with the Oz tent are S1 is the condensation issue but as long as you can get some good airflow it’s not so bad however in winter this does make the swag pretty cold so I would recommend a really good sleeping bag to go with. Flick me a message on my Instagram it’s great to hear from you

Not at all. Those sway bars make it really sturdy

Nar I didn’t have the 23 zero, I have a 5.11 recon and it just wasn’t warm enough. The 23 zero is insane

Thanks for watching 😊

I haven’t experienced it in high winds yet. That being said if I knew I was going to be in high winds I wouldn’t have the awning up and I’d have it pegged down a bit more than I usually do. I’m going to be trying to get my hands on an Australian made swag from a small company out of NSW next. I’m really keen to see what they come up with because I’d like a small single swag to throw in the boat I’m thinking of getting to compliment the jimny

Not 100% sure. If you measure the width of the S5 and match it to the batwing you’d be able to find out

This is a series 2 so maybe I got that wrong? Thanks for correcting!

I side sleep no worries at all it’s plenty wide enough

I don’t use this swag anymore. The Cotten canvas swag I use now goes under the awning

I’m running a rooftop tent now

Thanks for watching mate! This system works well for me mainly because of the pack up space and how it sits on the roof of the jimny.

@@MightyOverlander If it works for you don't change...besides you already bought it

Haha I actually thought about this at one stage 😂

Haha yeah I learnt since then to shorten it all down. The first time I ever edited a video was this year, learning all the do’s and Don’ts

@@MightyOverlander its all good, it was still entertaining and a good video!

It’s a blessing and a curse 😂

Smart ares!!!!!
