    Have you considered a double swag for you and the Hubby? Not much larger than a single rolled up but huge area when opened. Run self inflating mattresses and pillows. Leave all your bedding in the swag. All equals quick.

    The cheaper swags aren't 100% canvas. I hear leaking issues.

    We use two Jim Allen swags, a single and a double. Aus made and the canvas.

    If I do swag it I have a few swags, one is a King single and about 1100 mm wide, down side it wont fit in the Patrol if it did that would be that
    I also have a darche swag and had it for years easy to set up, I have a desert style swag I brought in Alice many moons ago as is basically a canvas tarp
    I flop over myself and if raining tuck my noggin in. Third swag is more a tent but both sides are zipped , A mob in Shepparton made them so I hade a mate replicate it.
    a very toasty sleeping arrangement that one. But these days if given the chance I'd go 4pegs one pole pyramid tent and a decent sleeping bag ,easy to put up will pack flat on your roof.
    And you can get changed standing up a real pet hate of mine.

    It would seem there are a few people here afraid to get changed out in the open......

    The swag posts are interesting!
    The original reason we considered a swag was to save space .... but having realised that wouldn't be the case, it just made sense to stick with the awesome Black Wolf turbo tent, and replace our mats (which we had already planned to do).

    I still like the idea of a swag, but think we'd avoid a double as it's less flexible. I like the idea of a custom made one .... will investigate this

    Thanks all!

    Speaking of swags I finally got the bunker XL. Yet to test it though. Scored it with a matress + -10C sleeping bag + kokoda chair, for an absolute steal of a bargain at the show today. Going camping to the high country next month so will give this a test run there.

    A few hot coals from the fire will keep you warm under that thing in the high country winter mate.
    Looks very nice

    Definitely mate. We'll see how this sleeping bag performs up there, otherwise I'll need the coals IN the swag not just under it lol.
