Yes, this could certainly happen. Quest Outdoors have actually made a stretcher with a mesh panel to overcome this, it currently isn't part of our range though - questoutdoors.com.au/product/crossbow-swag-stretcher/. ~ Ben
I think Oztent have focused on durability and stability with the RS-1S stretcher, Craig, hence the steel frame. It's not for everyone though, particularly the weight conscious campers. ~ Ben
With the sway bar braces on the legs, is the stretcher much more stable than others like the Darche XL100. I move around a lot at night and the shaking and swaying really annoy me.
I couldnt say for sure @In Pit Lane, its been a while since Ive been on one of these stretchers. The new Series II RS-1S stretcher is out now & I'll be reviewing that probably next week, so I'll be sure to move around alot and give it the wobble test! ~ Lauren
It will fit on, Steve. Both the Rs-1s Stretcher from Oztent and Darche's XL100 stretcher are toughly the same size, the only thing you would be missing form the Darche stretcher is the little anchor straps on the corners. ~ Ben
@Liam its a King Single, so only designed for one person. If you are after a stretcher for 2 people you'd need to specifically look at doubles. ~ Lauren
@@SnowysOutdoors Right. bought from Family Tent Camping in Florida. Just frustrated. No good answers. None from Oztent. Something about container ships backed up.
super expensive, extra bulky, takes forever to setup, not even that roomy... I'm not sure why is this a good idea? I don't wanna be just negative here, I'm happy to hear what I'm missing :/ It does look like a cool concept but only if you've never seen any other setup! lol
It's not my flavour either, Jonathon, as I'm a lightweight camper at heart. This is a popular setup though, both with the Oztent options here as well as other swags on stretchers. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors yeah the oztent itself is pretty cool, I'm looking at the rv-5 to replace the rooftop tent, but yeah for 1 person, there's much cheaper/convenient options that's for sure, thanks for answering btw ;)
@@JonathanAdami I have an RV5, was a step away from my usual lightweight approach to camping but I love it. The simplicity and durability quickly outweigh the size and weight when packed up. ` Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors I like the lightweight approach when I do multiday hiking, but it's nice to have some comfort when camping haha speaking of strenght, I saw the rv5 in the shop and was wondering: can you hang stuff off of them aluminium bars? I'm not sure how strong they are, like if you have a toddler running into them can they be bent? Thanks again
@@JonathanAdami if your toddler hangs on them they will bend. You can hang some lightweight items like a lantern without any dramas though. All the parts are replaceable too, so if your toddler does happen to do your RV tent an injustice, you'll be able to fix it. ~ Ben
