Hi,

Does anyone have any experience and comments on both the new stretchers from the great outdoors, quick cot, they are like the action chairs and take no more than a few secondes to unfold, bit dear at $200 though. Plus your thoughts on the quality of the Fossicker tent. I'm upgrading from a swag, the ground is starting to get a little hard. It's only for two adults, the situation can vary but mainly in the CQ area.

Thanks

I bought a similar type from my local Camping World (Gladstone) dealer 6 mths ago for $120 ( large size) and can 100% recommend it. I travel with work alot and its still as good as the day i bought it.

Hi Truckster,

Sorry at the moment it's not for sale, they are great for short stops.

Hi Ray, My in-laws use the folding aluminium cross-legged camp stretchers. Single adult size cost about $120. On top of the stretcher, they use a cheap self-inflating mattress ('cause they already had them, not because they needed them) and it is pure luxury!!! :-) Melissa

My wife and I use $15 stretchers from the local disposal store. They are just canvas stretched between two tubes with some bent spring rod supports under that fit into holes in the tubes. They work well. I am 60 and my wife is ???? we like some comfort and find these el cheapos work well. I would try them if I was you before doshing out big bucks.
