Kings double swags.. .Who's got one?

I cant comment on the Kings Swags but I have an Oz Trail Mitchell king single dome swag, its not massive by im 185cm and weight just south of 100kgs and i fit in it fine. Cost me around the $180-200 mark, very good swag, good quality, east to set up. I would happily recommend it to anyone.

They're all OK - if you're looking for a cheap option that you only want to use for a couple of years or so before they fall apart.

Something like a Southern Cross Canvas like these Dome Swags - Southern Cross Canvas Products made in Australia from Australian canvas are a much better quality option, but at about double the price of the Chinese made stuff.

Very bulky and heavy though - actually takes up more room on the roofrack than an Oztent RV5.

And the requirement to seal them properly before use as described by DiscoMick applies equally to the more expensive ones as to the cheap ones.

The Southern Cross swag is definitely a quality product but very pricey. Check out the Kulkyne Double Swag, they are much higher quality than the other swags mentioned and still reasonably priced: Double Swags

My opinion is the Kings I looked at used too much velcro rather than zips and I think they could be more likely to leak.

I have 2 King's and there is no Velcro on either

I don't reall velcro on my Kings swag either.

My son's single dome has velcro on the outer canvas at the high end, laying on top of the mesh, which is zipped. I borrowed it recently. It was OK, but I didn't like the use of velcro.

Must be just on the singles.

I have had a Kings double swag now for about 3 years and would have slept in it 50/60 times.
I found the mattress to be a bit thin but a bit of that "egg shell" foam sorted that out, Other than that the swag is still in pristine condition despite the rough handling and neglect I have subjected it to.
Plenty of ventilation for those hot nights and even in a downpour you don't get wet[thumbsupbig]

I really like my big daddy deluxe. I went the deluxe as it has the 70mm mattress. I tried the 50mm and found it to be too thin. The swag bags are pretty crappy material. I had to send my first swag back due to having holes in it from new. Warranty was good to deal with so no drama really.

Several relatives have these swags. From what I've seen, the quality is acceptable, but not outstanding. Personally, I think there are better alternatives from Darche and Anaconda for not much more money.
