Getting away camping is definitely something more Aussies should do as much as possible! Here at 4WD Supacentre, we\u2019ve made it our mission to make camping more affordable and more accessible to every single Aussie. We pride ourselves on the fact that we make some of the best value camping gear in Australia. Whether it\u2019s our game-changing swags, rooftop tents or tents, they all have that perfect mix of excellent quality and unbeatable price. If you\u2019re just starting out camping, or you\u2019re in the middle of changing or updating your camping setup, you might have stumbled across the age-old question that hundreds of thousands of campers have asked over the years \u2013 should I camp in a tent, a swag or a rooftop tent? We\u2019ve put together this essential guide to each of the three camping accommodation options to help you choose the right setup for your own needs.<\/p>\n

  1. SWAG<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The single biggest benefit of a swag is its simplicity. Back in the early days, and even right back to the days of the Aussie bushies, swags were basic bits of canvas you pulled over the top of yourself on a cold night. Of course these days swags are a whole world ahead, and the range of swags<\/strong> <\/a>from 4WD Supacentre are designed to offer comfortable camping to a variety of campers. What we love about swag camping is you can leave all your bedding, sleeping bags and pillows inside your swag when you roll it up, meaning that setting up or packing away camp is made much easier and quicker. This also saves valuable space inside your 4×4, car or van that would otherwise be taken up with that bedding. Strap your swag to your steel roof rack<\/strong><\/a> and you\u2019re ready to camp! Swag come in single or double sizes, and the\u00a0Adventure Kings<\/strong>\u00a0Big Daddy Swags<\/strong><\/a> from 4WD Supacentre are absolutely huge, with well enough room for a couple of adults, the kids and even the dog. There\u2019s also something almost a bit romantic about a swag, something nostalgic about pulling up to your favourite campsite and rolling your swag out.<\/p>\n

    1. TENT<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Just like swags have evolved, so have tents! Tents these days are a far cry from the tents of even ten years ago, with their hundreds of complicated poles and painful setup and pack up. Hands up if you remember spending an hour connecting Pole A to Pole C, then attached Vertical Support 5 and so on? We\u2019re particularly loving the new Adventure Kings<\/strong>\u00a0Gazebo Tent<\/strong><\/a> that we retail here at 4WD Supacentre.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      It\u2019s so quick to setup \u2013 just open up your 3x3m<\/strong> <\/a>or 3x6m<\/strong> <\/a>gazebo and then attach the tent to the camping gazebo frame with the included velcro straps and buckles. The tent is fully enclosed, with its own heavy-duty PVC floor, and even mozzie and midgee-proof flyscreen windows! And then there\u2019s the thing we really love about the gazebo tent \u2013 it\u2019s absolutely massive. You can genuinely stand up inside it without crouching. Not having to roll around in bed to get dressed of a morning or change clothes to go for a swim is an absolute game-changer!<\/p>\n

      1. ROOFTOP TENT<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Rooftop tents have by far and away become one of the most popular ways to camp these days. Everywhere you look you see a 4WD, van or even a car with a rooftop tent attached to it. Without a doubt one of the biggest benefits of a roof top tent is in how quick it is to setup. The range of rooftop tents<\/strong> <\/a>we sell here at 4WD Supacentre are unbelievable quality, incredibly well-priced and set up in minutes. Just unzip the heavy-duty PVC travel cover, undo a couple of straps, fold it out and set up the window awning poles and you\u2019re done. You can also leave your bedding inside your rooftop tent when you pack it away, making your setup and pack up of camp even quicker. Rooftop tents are also great in warmer regions because they let you get up off the hot ground and grab any bit of cool breeze that\u2019s around. The 4WD Supacentre range of rooftop tents are also massive, and there\u2019s plenty enough room for a couple of adults and the tin lids too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
