If you’re heading out on your next camping trip with a gaggle of rowdy kids (and grownups) you might want to consider a space-saving sleeping option like the Deluxe Double Bunk Bed from OZtrail. This little beauty is a portable bunk bed that can also be split into two single stretchers.
This bunk was designed not to tip over as OZtrail have put leg and anti-roll corner supports to keep everything nice and sturdy when in use. You won’t be woken up by any midnight squabbles over stepped-on feet as the top bunk has a safety rail which makes using the bunk both easier and safer.
There’s also side organiser with space for a phone, tablet, or any other form of entertainment – so once everyone is settled in, there’s no need to get back up again. Whether you’re a couple of grownups determined to relive your childhood, or you’re in need of a space saving sleeping arrangement - the Deluxe Double Bunk Bed is a great group camping option.
Hi Team, sorry if this has been asked already, but would the bunk fit in one of the side rooms of a Black Wolf Turbo Lite Twin 240?
G'day Tim,
They'll fit across the door in the first half section of the side rooms, but beyond that the taper is just abit too much, and they dont quite fit perpendicular to the doorway.
Whilst you can make it work, I'm not sure if its the most efficient use of space, unless you use that floor section under the taper for storage of gear that you don't need to access all the time.
Hi, In a hard floor camper, could I remove the bottom bunk and use the top bunk with the extension legs still in place? So I can store large items under neath the bunk.
G'day Aaron,
No, you cant use the top bunk without the bottom bunk. It requires the bottom bunk if order to provide strength and stability.
If you use it without the bottom bunk it'd be pretty unsafe.
Is there a minimum age recommendation for the top bunk?
G'day Rachel,
There isn't a specific age recommendation for the top bunk, but they do have a built-in safety rail, so if they're old enough to sleep in a regular height bed at home then the top bunk should be fine for them at 90cm from the ground.
Are these sturdy enough to suit two 75 kg teenage boys?
G'day Martine,
If your teenagers are happy to sleep in bunk beds then I can't think of any reasons why this won't suit. The top bunk has a 100kg capacity, and the bottom has a 120kg capacity. Ben and Laine from our team are fully grown adult men and they were able to use it with no worries for the features video, so have a squizz at that, as Ben does give it a bit of a shake test while they're on it which might help you to visualise the stability.
The kids aren't very heavy.
G'day Margaret,
Yes, the Oztrail Camp Mat is a popular mat to use ith the Deluxe Double Bunk Bed for smaller children. It will provide some padding and insulation to make sure they're comfortable and warm.
Is ordering, how do i specify what mats I want?
G'day Margaret,
The second mat Ben uses is no longer available, however, the current comparable model is the Black Wolf HexaTherm 2D Deluxe Single Mattress. You can order this item by adding it to your cart along with any other items you'd like to purchase.
If set up as a bunk it’s obviously quite tall. What tents that you sell are compatible?
G'day Sam,
Most of the family touring style tents will be able to accommodate the Deluxe Double Bunk Bed. The Coleman Chalet 9CV has enough room in the side room, or the rear of the centre room, as does the Northstar 10P Darkroom, as does the Fast Frame Lumos 10. The Black Wolf Turbo Tents and some of the Zempire air tents can also fit the Double Bunks.
Failing that, what is the measurement from the bottom (floor) to top of one end of the highest bunk, and bottom (floor) to top of the guard rail piece please?
G'day Kerryn,
The Deluxe Double Bunk is quite a bit too high to fit front to back in the RV5 tent. The maximum stretcher height that will generally fit is about 50cm (towards the end of the RV5 features video Ben pops a King Goanna Stretcher in the tent, which might help give a scale of reference).
The top of the double bunk is 90cm or 107cm including the safety rail when in place.
Does this stay semi-setup and fold flat?
G'day Shaun,
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but if you check out the "How to Set Up & Pack Away" video, Ben goes through set up and pack down. The side rails stay in the fabric for pack-up, so I'm wondering if that's what you mean?
Hi guys, just wondering if it would fit in the rear section of the turbo plus 300? Cheers, Pat
G'day Pat,
I've spoken to one of our staff here at Snowys who has a similar setup with a Black Wolf twin turbo. The bunk will fit across the doorway in the plus part but no further in as the taper is too great. Another option is to put the bunk half in the main part and half in the plus part. Alternatively, the bunk will fits well in the main part of the tent. Hope this helps with your decision!
I was wondering whether the 85cm height measurement is to the top of the guard rail, or the top of the top bunk without the guard rail. Thanks, Gavin.
G'day Gavin,
I've just gone and measured this for you and found that our height measurements are a tiny bit out of whack. The height of the top bunk is 90cm, and then the height to the top of the safety rail is 107cm. We'll get our details updated online to reflect this now.
Just concerned with the slanted walls but my wee little man REALLY wants one! Ideally we'd love it to fit in one of the bedrooms, but even in the middle (living) space of need be?
G'day Stella,
I've just tried the Deluxe Double Bunk inside the Chalet 9 tent and you can fit them in the side bedrooms. It will take up most of the room but will give a little bit of space to get in and out of the room and store bags. Alternately you can fit it in the middle room across the back door.
Hi, What is the assembled size of the deluxe double bunk?
G'day Yolanda,
The in-use dimensions of the Deluxe Double Bunk are 180cm long x 72cm wide x 85cm high.
Hi guys could you give me some recommendations for a good mat that is the right size to fit the beds and also super comfy? Was looking at the zempire monstamat but noticed it's currently out of stock. Cheers
G'day Lachlan,
Thanks for your question about the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk. There are a few good options that will add a super comfy element to the bunks. The Oztrail Camp Mat is a popular choice to add some comfort or as you've suggested the Zempire Monstamat. One of my colleagues has also previously suggested the Exped Megamat 10LXW which is super
Hi, just wanted to check what colour the bunk was. Canvas looks charcoal in the photos with black frame, but appears a green canvas in the how-to video with a light grey frame. Thank you!
G'day Jared,
Our new stock of the Deluxe Double Bunk has just landed and they are now charcoal colour with
Hello, I've heard that Oztrail is releasing a new version of this item. If true, does Snowy's have an indication on when this will be available?
G'day Brett,
It does look like the new batch to arrive
Hey guys any chance you could put together a video or a few pictures on how a Monstamat fits on the bunk beds?
G'day Lachlan,
Unfortunately, I haven't got any OZtrail Deluxe Double Bunks in stock at the minute, so I can't test the theory or get any photos for you. Looking at the dimensions of both the bunk and the Zempire Monstamat though, it looks like it'll be a tight squeeze for width but you'll be able to squish it in place. Lengthwise, you'll be looking at a fair bit of overhang but that shouldn't cause you any major dramas.
What is the distance from the ground to the bottom bunk please? Would bags fit underneath?
G'day Danielle,
The bottom of the support pole on the bottom bed of the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk is about 25cm from the floor. That's without someone lying on it, so it might still slouch a few centimetres.
We love our deluxe bunk, but with 3 boys we will need a single to accompany it. Last trip in our oztrail fastframe 450 tourer we had our black wolf mega deluxe double on one side, the bunks on the other side and a portacot in the middle. Any recommendations for the single? Boys aged 2, 5, 7.
G’day Greg,
There are a few options available to you, depending on how much you want to spend. You want something that’s ideally not too big, so a budget-friendly choice would be the Zempire Speedy Stretcher Bed which has got some good reviews from other parents who have bought one for their kids.
Or, if you wanted something a little a little more sturdy (but the tradeoff is that it's heavier and a little pricier) there is the Goanna Stretcher from Oztent which is very robust and also similar in dimensions.
I hope this helped point you in the right direction Greg.
Hi there, we are looking at purchasing this to be used side by side (w/o the side rails). Just wondering if it will fit 2 x single exped megamats? Or will there be significant overhang to the point where it won't be stable? Would really appreciate if you could post a picture of how it might look like?
G'day Sarah,
There's a small amount of overhang when you put the Exped Megamat 10 LXW on to the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk. I only had the one Exped on display to use for testing, so I didn't put them side by side but I think you can get the idea of how it will sit. I don't think it'll be too big to cause any issues.
Hope so as I just bought one from you online!
G'day Luke,
I haven't got an RV5 set up at the moment to try but I am certain that you'll be able to fit your Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk inside. Just make sure you've got your guy ropes nice and taut so that the walls aren't sagging in at all.
Would it fit down one side?
G'day Rob,
Armed with my trusty tape measure and our display model of the RV4, I've just tested this theory for you. It definitely wouldn't fit front to back as you lose too much room with the slanted wall, it would fit really comfortably if you put it along the back wall, however.
Can you recommend a mat that has the appropriate dimensions?
G'day Siobhan,
The Oztrail Camp Mat is a popular choice for the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk. It overshoots the ends by a little (no big issue), but it is a crackin' price and provides a great level of comfort. You can find the mat here.
Hi, Any chance you would be able to do a video of the set up of this bunk? We have the standard bunks and they drive us insane setting them up, nowhere locally has these so we can't try these to see if they are easier to set up. Thanks Emily
G'day Emily,
Great request. We'll add it to our list and try and get this done ASAP for you. We'll let you know here once we've produced it.
Any luck on the video yet?
G'day Emily,
I've just checked with our videographer, and that one is next on the list. We're hoping to get it done by the end of this week, so we'll let you know on here when it's live!
Hi Emily,
Just letting you know that we haven't forgotten about you, we've had a few software issues that set us back a couple of days and our videographer already has a backlog of videos to edit. We will try and get this done asap, however, if you have any specific questions or need questions answered sooner then please give us a call on 1300 914 007.
Hey Emily,
Sorry about the delay getting this done for you, better late than never though. Here's the link to the video we put together for set up and pack down of the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk.
Hi, are extra safety rails available to purchase for the bottom bunk? Thanks
G'day Jacqui,
Unfortunately, there aren't additional safety rails available for the Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk.
What is the difference between the standard bunk and the deluxe version?
G'day Tegan,Â
I've looked into this, and it seems that the main difference between the Oztrail Double Bunk and the Deluxe Double Bunk is that the Deluxe has a rating of 100 kg when stacked and 120 kg on its own, whereas the Double Bunk has a rating of 70 kg when stacked and 100 kg on its own.
The Deluxe Double Bunk is also lighter 17.6kg compared to 28kg for the Double Bunk and features storage pockets on the safety rails.Â
How compact do these pack down? Thankyou
G'day Michelle,Â
The Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk packs away in its carry bag to 63L x 45W x 20H cm. I hope this helps!Â
Thank you for you response Lisa, one more quick question, When you're disassembling the bunks can you leave the poles along side the beds? For example to place the actual beds flat on top of the bed inside the camper trailer and just add the end frames on to make it back into s need again? I hope that makes sense!
G'day Belinda,Â
The Oztrail Deluxe Double Bunk can be separated into two single beds, so if you unstack them and remove the legs you should be able to store them away like that until you want to set up the bunk again with no problem.Â
What is the process of arming assembling these bunks ands are the mays padded at all?
Hi Belinda,Â
The Deluxe Double Bunk is pretty easy to assemble. Each frame comes in 8 pieces - 6 bars of equal length with make up either side of the frame, and then the 2 end bars.Â
You just need to put together each of the side bars, thread the mat on and loop it over the end bars. Then just slot in the raised end bars. Do this for each and then stack them, you're good to go!Â
The mats aren't padded though, so an extra foam mat for comfort might be a good idea, this will also help to provide insulation on the chilly nights :)Â
