    Price of ARB swag

    I was just quoted $615 for a double skydome swag at our local ARB. That seamed a bit much to me has anyone seen similar prices?
    I think they were $450 at the 4x4 show?

    "seamed..." get it!? Boom boom!! Haha.

    Is your heart set on an arb swag?
    Have a look at these... Made in Australia and very good quality.
    I have a deluxe single.

    nope. made in China. It's a knock off of the Burke & Wills


    EDIT - that being said, we're a 3 swag family..

    I've got a B&W Coolibah
    The boy has a techniice single, it's very very similar to the B&W - but with a PVC base rather than canvas
    we have a Techniice double too for me and the missus (for when we are sans RTT)

    The Techniice ones are pretty good TBH, especially for half the price of the B&W.

    These Australian Designed Jungle Reef Swags


    Not that there's anything wrong with them just because they're chinese made; as i said they are a good swag, time will tell if they are as long lasting as a Aussie made one.

    Aight! Nice pickup....
    My double Darche I have I bought direct from their factory here when they made them here. Still like new it is. But I'm a hot sleeper and even when I slept in it and the outside temp was below zero, I was in my jocks and sweating my guts out. So I think its time for me to either upgrade to a dome style, or go an RV.

    Ahh.. Right... Yeah i was under the impression that they were made here but as you said I guess most things are import now. Mine is the deluxe single and I reckon it's pretty good. I've slept in rain and not had a leak and I really like the pvc base.
    I imagine the arb ones are probably made in China too?
