It’s a tried and proven setup to run your swag underneath an awning, or an awning and awning wall to really give yourself more shade, shelter and protection from the elements. But if you want an even warmer and drier setup, it’s hard to beat a fully enclosed awning tent. Adventure Kings awning tents are available to suit all sizes of Adventure Kings Side Awnings including the 2×2.5m, the 2x3m and 2.5×2.5m.

Adventure Kings Awning Tents have a floor and ceiling which means you can sleep inside on just a mattress and be fully protected, but in cooler weather a great setup is to put your entire swag inside! This way you can keep your body warmth centralised in the camp swag itself but the awning tent provides extra protection against the wind and cold weather. They’re made with waterproof 170GSM polyester walls and roof, with a 500 denier polyethylene floor that’s also completely waterproof as well as being turned up on each side to create a ‘bucket floor’ which prevents standing water from heavy rain getting in. Running your camping swag in an awning tent has a few major benefits.

Number one is that you retain a lot more warmth inside the swag, as there’s less air volume that’s circulating around you. You can zip up the swag almost completely, and stay nice and cosy inside. Of course the awning tent adds more warmth as it’s blocking the majority of the wind or weather too. Adventure Kings Deluxe single swags and the Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag are both free standing which means you can set them up and not need to peg them down into the ground, which is perfect for inside the awning tent. You can also access your vehicle from inside the Awning Tent, so if it is a cool night in your swag you don’t need to get right out into the cold exposed air if you need to grab an extra blanket or some warm clothes! This is why they’re such a great option for couples or families as you can keep everyone happy!

Number two is that you now have a fully protected and waterproof area to actually get out of your swag – combining an awning, mesh floor and awning wall will give you mostly the same benefits, but the awning tent really does take it to the next level. Getting up in the morning there’s no dew to contend with, you’ve got complete privacy to get changed, plus you’re shaded and sheltered from every side, so it’s not only perfect for waking up in the snow, but it’s a big plus in summer too as your swag isn’t copping direct sun! Adventure Kings Awning Tents also feature midge proof flyscreens perfect for summer so you can open up the windows and allow the breeze in, or you can close down the window flaps for cooler nights. There is a main window / door on the front of the tent, as well as large windows on both sides too, so you can really enjoy a nice cross breeze!

Number three, is that you’ve got enough space to not only set up a swag, but you can also fit a small camp table and camping chair inside too as well as set up your camping fridge with a battery box, to keep your snacks and drinks handy at any time of the day or night – or run a power cable inside though the cable opening flap, so that you can keep all your electrical accessories dry and out of the way. This has so many benefits – your camp fridge is now in the shade so it can run more efficiently, you can eat your meals or relax away from any local wildlife, bugs, flies or creepy crawlies. It also means that you can keep the kids or your pets nice and safe inside by setting up their swags or pet camping bed too! Of course one of the nicest things is again the fact that you’ve got privacy at camp!

Number four is that they’re so easy to set up and they’re compact when packed up. Because Adventure Kings Awning Tents simply slide into the sail tracks at the front and rear of an adventure kings awning, then use Velcro on the sides – about the hardest part is hammering in a handful of tent pegs! The materials used offer great waterproof properties, but they’re also lightweight and can be folded up nice and small. Adventure Kings Awning Tents also come with a handy travel bag which means you can keep your Awning Tent protected and packed away in excellent condition for your next adventure away! Because Adventure Kings Awnings are so easy to set up too, you’ll find you’re setting up both your awning and tent just about every time you pull up for camp – whether it’s for a solo mission, or you’re a couple after some privacy or you want to keep the whole family safe and away from crawling and flying pests!

So if you want to take your swag setup up a notch it’s definitely worth checking out an Adventure Kings Awning tent. They’re waterproof, fully enclosed and you can still easily access your vehicle from the internal door, so you really can avoid the weather and stay toasty warm! Plus, they’ll give you so many more options for camp – you don’t need to use a swag on warm nights as you can just lay out a mattress and open the windows to catch the breeze or if it is colder close everything up and make your swag super warm and comfy with a premium sleeping bag.
