@@cptntwang No sectrets, just practice Eddy! You’ll get there ;) when new the canvas is stiff, after a few trips it softens up and its easier to get a smaller roll. Use your knees and watch our “pack up” video for tips

@@wingmanoftheroad thank you for the answer. Have a nice evening.

Hey Chris, where do I start! 1. There are loads of benefits of canvas apposed to plastic nylon tents. Eg. Breathability, comfort, durability, blocking out light. Basically you don’t have that clammy feeling feel like you’ve woken up in a plastic bag. (See our why canvas section on the website) 2. Convenience and setup/pack down time. Having a mattress and sleeping bag included in the roll means you can ride until you get tired and roll our system out and sleep anywhere in a few minutes. 3. Why attach it to the bike. You don’t have to. Our system doesn’t need the bike at all. However, if you do attach the awning to the bike you gain a “porch” area. You can put your gear in there and it opens the space up a bit bit completely optional. Hope this clears the benefits up a bit 👍

Wow what an adventure that must have been. Hope you and the bike are back in one piece with stories and scratches. It does sound like a wingman would be a good choice for you. The rolled up dimensions of both models are on the website. The outside tarpcover that you roll the system in, completely protects what’s inside from all the road and the weather can throw at it! It is made from a tough black canvas with a PU coating. It’s waterproof, dust proof and wipe clean. Hope this answers your questions and yes we have a pack up video. Just go into our channel it’s under “packing up your goose”

Hi we’ve been using the same poles for 6 years now. They are a type of aluminum and we have very few issues. You can also buy spares or replacement poles on our website.

Hi Mark, I good question that we get pretty frequently actually. With 7 years of customers and ourselves camping with these systems we’ve never had a problem with this. The bedding stays dry. The way the system is designed ensures that the inside of the system doesnt get wet when packing up. As long as you make sure you zip up the doors and the windows there wont be an opportunity for the bedding to get wet.

That’s right! We took all the best components of a swag and made it more compact and motorcycle specific 👍🏻

You got it buddy. If you’re travelling to a new place each day it makes things super easy and comfortable 👍🏻

;) Yeah held fine 👍tent pegs are ok in sand just got to go deep. The good thing about this system, even if you can’t peg it out you don’t need to. No bike, no pegs, no problem. The tent will hold its own structure due to the weight of the canvas and the mattress inside.

Awesome Alvin. Hope you enjoy it!

Love seeing your stuff Eskimo Joe! Enjoy some cold ones next time at camp with your Iceman. All the best!

When you know she’s right for you, why hesitate 😉🍻

Cheers buddy! Stoked on how it’s turned out 🍻

You’ll love it buddy

Thanks very much Jeff

Haha cheers buddy 🍻

Hmmm I don’t think you’ve watched the full video my friend! We address this exact point about “creating a fall line” to avoid pooling towards the end of the video 👍🏻

Thanks buddy 🙌🏼

Dam right it’s not a polar expedition tent! ;) it’s also not a plastic tent from kmart. Cotton canvas isn’t cheap, the blanket is Sherpa that isn’t cheap. A wingman is an investment, look after it well and it will last your life time and more. We’re not interested in making cheap products 👊

Once you go canvas you never go back! ;) good luck on the 66 buddy

At 6ft you could use either model. You would definitely have a bit more space in the toucan though. What bike do you have buddy? Will you be using a luggage rack?

@@wingmanoftheroad I've got 2 and luggage racks on both a suzuki gsx1400 and a triumph speedmaster

I’d be inclined to go for the toucan then 👍🏻

@Wingman Of The Road thanks for all the advice. Safe travels

The blanket is really warm a luxury to have with you camping really. We’re really happy with it, it is big. We went for a slightly lighter weight canvas to compensate for the extra bulk. The end roll is pretty much the same as a standard goose.

Hi Andrew, If you want a light weight backpacking tent this isn’t the system for you. There are many great options if weight is your primary focus it’s best to stick to a synthetic plastic tent. As we designed this for motorcycle travel not backpacking we can get away with more weight, we chose to use the best material for the job not the lightest. There are so many benefits with canvas compared to plastics. One massive reason is comfort and the fact that it breathes, you can have a single layer of canvas that’s waterproof and also eliminates any condensation. Unlike plastic tents when you need an inner and an outer tent and all the inner tent does is keep you away from the wet and condensation on the inside of the outer tent. Canvas is also massively robust. Fantastic in high winds. The list goes on. More info on why we chose canvas can be found on our website under “why canvas” We don’t make just a tent. It’s and all in one camping solution with sleeping bag and mattress included. Made to “roll out and roll in” easily in the dark after a long ride. We don’t claim to be everybody’s cup of tea, but customers who are actually using our design and products out on the road get it and like it. We appreciate that. www.trustpilot.com/review/www.wingmanoftheroad.com Thanks for your comment Andrew. I hope I explained a little bit about why we do what we do.

Hi, I have never heard of one blowing away. However, if your leaving it at a campsite you would preferably peg it down or alternatively weigh it down with a jacket inside or something heavy and lock it up. It does have quite a bit of weight to it already being canvas and having mattress and sleeping bag inside but to be sure I would do this. If your sleeping in the tent it will be sturdy in the heavy wind even if not pegged. Hope this answers your question 👍
