Hi Guys, Do you have a ‘dry bag’ that the bunker will fit in?? The standard bag lets a bit of water in on the roof rack...
G'day Aaron,
There isn't a specific bag we can think of for the bunker that is completely waterproof, however you could look at something like the Nero 190 which is made from a 500D PVC which should do a pretty good job of keeping your bunker dry.
Hi, in the video for the bunker the mesh has a square corner and the orange on the fly is not so visible. Yet in the photos the mesh has a rounded corner and there is bright orange on the fly. Is it possible to get the model with the square corners on the mesh doors and no orange on the canvas?
G'day Selena,
There have been some minor changes to the Bunker since we filmed the comparison video in 2017. The new model is what is shown in the images with the orange trim and the orange Oztent logo. The older model is no longer available, so you can now only get the model with orange trim, and rounded corners on the mesh.
Hi was wondering if it is advisable to season the bunker bed before use. Kind Regards
G'day Dan,
I've just double checked the manual for the Bunker Stretcher and Oztent don't indicate that you need to season the Bunker before you use it.
Wondering what main advantages or disadvantages there are over the material of the bunker XL vs the canvas of the regular bunker. Also which one is the better material if possible. Thanks
G'day Jack,
We find that lots of our customers will go for the Bunker XL Stretcher if they need the extra width and length, but the Canvas model tends to be a little more popular as canvas will generally last a little longer than polyester. Both models have excellent ventilation with zip out mesh panels, so will provide good ventilation for the summer months. In winter we'd suggest pairing both models with a good foam or self-inflating mat and warm sleeping to keep you toasty, as they can be draughty in cold windy weather. Overall both models are made from quality materials, the XL version was made with polyester to keep the overall weight down.
Is this available?
G'day Drew,
I've just called Oztent and we can special order a replacement fly for your Bunker. Please send us an email: service@snowys.com.au and we can give you the specifics.
In a previous question you said the Exped Megamat 10 LXW wasn't suited for the stretcher, why is this and what mats do you recommend for it?
G'day Ash,
Thanks for the question, just to clarify the Exped Megamat 10LXW will work well inside the Oztent Bunker Stretcher. The previous question you're referring to is a little confusing and we've made the assumption that person was asking if you can but the Bunker Stretcher on another stretcher...but we're not too sure! So yes the 10LXW can be used in the Bunker Stretcher.
Understandably a SI mat wouldn't fold into the stretcher when packed up, but I'm looking at the STS Comfort Plus Rectangular mat (reg) to go inside it and was curious to know if it would fold into to the stretcher when deflated??
G'day Mark,
While the dimensions indicate that this mat will fit, we wouldn't recommend leaving a deflated/inflated Comfort Plus Rectangular mat inside the Oztent Bunker Stretcher, as there is a chance that it could get damaged.
Hi, what material is the bag made out of and it is waterproof? Just thinking of putting it up on the rack in wet conditions. Don’t want to get to camp and find out the swag is already wet. Thanks
G'day Mike,
The Bag material on the Oztent Jet Ten Bunker Stretcher is a nylon material that isn't waterproof. Best bet if you're putting it on the roof rack in the wet would be to wrap it in a tarp, or put it inside a waterproof roof rack bag.
Is it the new model that has a fly net that can be completely unzipped and replaced??
G'day Matt,
The Oztent Jet Tent Bunker Stretcher isn't the new Bunker Stretcher that Oztent have just released. As soon as we get that brand new one in stock, we'll be sure to put them up online right away.
I want to use the bunker stretcher for overnight stops, but add the tent when staying multiple nights.
Hi Laura,
Despite being made by the same company, these two products are not designed to be joined together sorry, if you had both items then they would be used as completely independent shelters.
Hi, would the Exped Megamat 10 LXW Camp Mat fit inside this? The specs say it will but best to ask. Also, would you consider it overkill or unsuitable for use on a stretcher base?
G'day Adam,
We've tried this ourselves before with the display models, and the Megamat 10 LXW will definitely fit inside the Oztent Jet Bunker Stretcher.
As for whether it can be used on a stretcher, I would say that it probably won't be very stable (especially if the ground was on a slight slope) so we probably wouldn't recommend it.
will my black wolf mega deluxe mattress fit in? looking at the dimensions it appears to fit. also you can get into sleeping area from the side?
G'day Michelle,Â
I have personally tried this before, and I found that the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe Camp Mat fits perfectly in the Oztent Jet Bunker Stretcher. And as for entry, there is a door on either side, and one at the top end of the Jet Bunker.Â
Just wondering if a mattress is required for comfort? also is there room to keep bedding in the bunker like with a swag?
G'day Leah,
From having a feel of the inside of the bottom of the Jet Bunker in store, it does have a soft surface. If you were using a very thick and cushiony sleeping bag you might be able to get away with no mattress - but for comfort and insulation purposes you're best off using a camp mat inside this stretcher.Â
The maximum internal height of this stretcher is about 100cm at the entrance, and it tapers down towards the end - so you'll have plenty of room for a mat, pillow and other bits and bobs you want to keep near you while you sleep.Â
Love this bed, easy to setup comfy but one small problem condensation. I camped out last weekend and woke to find a heavy dew. Packed up my self inflating mattress and sleeping bag and left the bunker to dry. Weather wasn't helping and it took ages. When I finally removed the fly i noticed 2 large patches of condensation one at each end.. How do you avoid condensation with theses tents?
Does a fly come with this or is it extra. Is there freight to Devonport Tasmania Thanks
