my swags based on an aussie outback supplies swag design, you could easily fit 2.5 people in it. But I spent a little extra on getting it custom made by my mate who is a motor trimmer, and I found that with it being "hand made" so to speak to my requirements that I really can't find any fault with it, it's got a fly net on one end which is invaluble. You can also unzip it down the side and lift the roof so its kinda like an awning, although by doing this you open yourself to the elements, but in summer its great!!

I'll have to get some pics up, hopefully by tomorrow
I'm hanging out until I can afford a trailer, havin a jeep and a little feller's tough on the camping space, bet he will like the trips in the trailer tho!!

OH YEAH!
before you go out and buy a double swag, ring about and find a good motor trimmer, any reputable trimmer can make a ripper swag, when I got mine made, the only things I had to sort out was the fly screen mesh size and the mattress.
With the fly screen, this should be unzippable for washing etc so make sure you give this to the trimmer so he can fit it into the swag during the making, then theres no excuse if the fly doesnt fit the opening. I bought a replacement fly from a tent shop for a tent and trimmer cut it to fit (same with goes with the mattress)

It seems like a lot of hoo har but It cost me 200 bucks less than a shop bought one!

Jeeps - They're more commonly known as a "hoochie", and they're vinyl not canvas. They are standard issue to the Army and proper ones can be sourced from any decent Army Disposal store.
