    Us and several family members use the Adventure Kings swags for camping out of our 4wds. Sister in Law went for the pink one...wtf?... Plenty of room for two adults and a bit of gear. Great for kids as they are warmer and stay darker inside for longer in the morning.
    You do need to check stitching, etc. Especially in the floor tub. Within our group of mates we have sent two back. No issues with getting replacements.
    We have siliconed the corner stitching in the floor tub.
    The AK swags do have loose sides and sag inwards, which can be a nuisance. Though easily remedied with a couple of guy lines and pegs to apply tension.
    You'll want a tarp in wet weather so you can enter/exit without getting you and tent contents wet. A door mat in wet weather is good too.
    Very bulky to store and transport if you buy with their mattress. We use inflatable ones.
    I have a Hard Antler for solo trips, and it is much more robust. Although far less space.
    Thicker canvas, etc.
    AK swags are cheaper for a reason.
