Staff tip:It's best practice to season your swag a few times, even if it comes seam sealed, pre−seasoned, or waterproofed. For more info, check out our blog post below.
Yes, there's an internal canvas zippered flap, so you can open and close this vent whilst you're in the swag. The foot vent also has a zip flap to close off.

Storage bag1 answer
Please advise if this swag will perfectly fit to the swag biker bag.
Jackie - Nairne, SA(4 years ago)
G'day Jackie,
At this point in time the Biker Expedition Swag won't fit in the Oztrail Biker Swag Bag. Oztrail has updated the swag size, but not the bags yet, so the bag will only fit older models of the swag that roll up 50cm long. If you're looking for a swag bag that will suit the current model that packs to 69cm long, then you'll need the RV Biker Swag Sac, you'll find it listed in "you might also like"

Is this a bucket type pvc flooring? Deciding between this or the darche biker swag.
Isabelle - Woody point (4 years ago)
G'day Isabelle,
Yes, the Biker Expedition Swag as a PVC bucket floor.
Does this swag come with a weatherproof storage bag? If not, can you advise if there is a suitable bag to purchase as an option ( product number, price & image if possible)
Mark - Penrith (5 years ago)
G'day Mark,
The Biker Expedition Swag doesn't come with a bag, however, you can purchase the RV Biker Swag Sac which will keep your swag nice and dry.

Can this swag come with a 70cm mattress?1 answer
The 50cm wide mattress is just a bit too small for my build
Mal - Oak Flats(5 years ago)
G'day Mal,
The Biker Expedition Swag has a narrow mattress as it's designed to fit on the back of a motorbike so it rolls a little narrower. You could purchase a separate mattress to pop in it, but if you're after a wider mattress/swag then we'd probably suggest looking at something like the Mitchell Expedition Single Swag that comes with a wider mattress.

Spreader pole for Biker swag1 answer
I noticed on another question you suggested the use of a spreader pole is possible with this swag. From the illustration it is hard to determine if the swag has eyelets to take the spreader as in the Mitchell Discovery. I can see what may well be tabs to take a guy rope but I would like to know if there are eyelets. Thanks for your help in this matter.
Jason - Kurunjang(5 years ago)
G'day Jason,
You can fit a spreader bar to the Biker Expedition Swag, however, it won't be an easy fit as there are not eyelets in the Biker Swag. You could retrofit some eyelets and make it work, but overall we'd say pegging out the head and foot end will be the best way to use this swag.

What weather protection is there for the head (and foot) 1 answer
Is there an awning a head and foot?
Peter - Narooma(7 years ago)
G'day Peter,
I've just checked the Oztrail Biker Swag we have on display and as it's designed to be compact and lightweight there is just a small storm flap at the head and foot end to provide a little protection from the elements.

Is this a free standing swag?1 answer
Does it need to be pegged or use a pole spreader?
Sam - NT (7 years ago)
G'day Sam,
Having had a good look at the Oztrail Biker Expedition Swag, you'll need to either peg out the ends or use a centre ridge pole to stop it from collapsing on you in the middle.
