In a recent article we explained how far camping gear has come in recent years. We discussed how the Kings range of self-inflating mattresses, LED camp lights and portable BBQs are a big upgrade from some traditional and earlier models.

Now we’re going to take a look at three product lines from Adventure Kings that are hugely popular in Australia. The Kings range of canvas swags, mesh floors, and portable solar kits have all been very well received by the public because of their high quality and unbeatable value for money. Let’s take a look at some of the finer features of each range to show you why so many people are upgrading or converting to Kings from other brands.

Is it time to upgrade your current swag or tent? After reading this, you might just think so! There are five swag models in the Kings range. All are made from high quality ripstop canvas, all have an easy to clean heavy-duty PVC base, all come with a carry bag and mattress, and all are great value for money. The best selling swag in the range is also the best selling swag in Australia – the Big Daddy Deluxe. It is 1,550mm wide, approx 1m high, has a massive 70mm thick mattress, and a whole range of other features that make it Australia’s most popular swag. Other swags in the range include the Big Daddy, the Escape Double Swag, Escape Single Swag and Kwiky Single Swag.

Many people are upgrading to Adventure Kings swags because they’re so roomy. The Big Daddy and Big Daddy Deluxe swags in particular are like a penthouse at camp. Physically big enough to fit a queen size bed mattress from home (no joke – watch the video on the website for proof!), these swags are loved by campers who hate feeling cramped or claustrophobic. Many newcomers to camping are put off by this feeling and aren’t aware that there’s an alternative. While some companies only offer double swags as wide as 1,400mm, the Big Daddy range is over 1.5m wide and approx 1m high. Many people say it feels like a tent inside which means it’s easy to spread out, sleep comfortably, sit up and get changed. But it’s much more convenient than a tent as it also includes a mattress inside, is fast to roll up etc.

So, if you’re camping in a smaller swag or haven’t ventured into the wonderful world of swag camping yet, it’s time to check out the Kings range and especially the Big Daddy or Big Daddy Deluxe swags. When you do your research you’ll also be shocked at the price – the Big Daddy Deluxe, is feature-packed with many things that other swags do not have – is much more affordable than you think. In fact, it’s cheaper than what some competitors charge for a much smaller single swag! It’s this incredibility low price coupled with its awesome features that makes it Australia’s best value for money swag, which in turn helped it quickly become Australia’s best selling swag!

We all have an old picnic mat or silver or blue tarp that we’ve taken camping.  These days, Adventure Kings mesh floors are quickly overtaking traditional tarps or picnic mats as the most popular camp flooring.

Kings mesh floors are available in three practical sizes – 3x3m, 5×2.5m and 6x3m. You can use these under an awning or gazebo, caravan annex, or pegged together to cover much larger areas.

These mesh floors have really taken off because they offer benefits a tarp or picnic mat cannot. For example, the mesh design allows sand, dirt and water to fall through the floor, rather than pool on top like a waterproof tarp or picnic mat. This is handy to keep your campsite clean and by keeping sand and dirt out of your camp, your swags, sleeping bags and cars will stay much cleaner too!

Mesh floors don’t adsorb UV light like tarps and picnic mats can which means they won’t get so hot that they burn your feet. This is especially important when camping with kids and four-legged friends!

Australia has no shortage of sun, so smart campers are utilising this at camp more and more and saving money in the long term. By running a complete solar panel kit from Adventure Kings, you can stop paying for powered sites, which in the long run can save you a lot of money, especially if you camp during popular times like Easter, Christmas and school holidays when caravan parks up their rates.

Kings sell three complete solar kits which mean all you need to do is unpack them from their bag, plug them in and they’re good to go. The no hassle 120w folding solar blanket and 160w or 250w folding solar panel kits are so easy to use. All come with an in-built regulator and cables to connect to your battery so there’s no more you need to organise before you start using them.

Kings also do a 10W portable solar kit which is perfect for charging phones and tablets during the day (let’s face it, we all take phones camping). This personal solar kit is popular as you can keep your phone charging while playing music or sending Snapchats from camp – you don’t need to leave it plugged in and charging in your car (which also drains your car’s battery).

So as you can see, times are changing and Adventure Kings is at the forefront of technology to help you enjoy the outdoors more, for less. Our swags are bigger, comfier and much more affordable compared to some traditional styles. Our solar kits are so easy to use and are making it possible for you to camp in more private campsites without supplies power, and our mesh floors are making big differences to how clean and enjoyable your campsite is to live in.
