One absolute cracking feature of the Adventure Kings Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag is that you can camp in pouring rain, snow or soaking wet ground and still be completely dry. That’s because these swags are made to be waterproof – we’ve even floated the Big Daddy Deluxe on a river to prove how waterproof it is – check out the video on 4WD Supacentre’s website!

Camping in the rain does mean that when you get back from your trip you need to roll your Big Daddy Deluxe Swag out in the sun to let it dry so you don’t get mould – just like you would any canvas camping gear.

But if something goes wrong – here’s exactly how to kill mould on your swag.

There’s a couple ways you can treat mould on your Big Daddy Deluxe Swag. The first is to use a mould rid. First, scrub the canvas with warm water and soap. Then, apply mould rid to either side of the canvas, allow it to dry, then rinse it off.

The second way to kill mould on canvas is to use a eucalyptus wool wash and combine it with some elbow grease. This won’t get rid of the mould stains, but it will deactivate the spores just like mould rid to stop them reproducing and stop the mould spreading. It will also leave your canvas with a bush smell instead of a chemical smell.

A useful tip when treating mould on canvas is to not use a pressure washer which can cause damage and strip the waterproofing.

But all that can be easily prevented! To avoid mould forming on your Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag, make sure that after a rainy trip you set it up in dry weather and let air it out for a few hours to ensure it retains no moisture while in storage. The same goes for your Adventure Kings Roof Top Tent. If you’ve got the Tourer Roof Top Tent and camped in the rain, set it up, set the included annex up and make sure it’s completely dry before you fold it back up.

Good quality camping gear like the Adventure Kings Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag means you can get away on big trips and camp anywhere, in all kinds of weather. That’s because they’re made to stay cool, made comfy and made waterproof. But if you discover mould, now you know exactly how to kill it.
