A tip if you break one of your swag or tent poles. .. Cut a 15-20 cm piece off an old gardening hose. If your pole breaks, poke it through the hose and then wrap gaffer/duct tape around the ends.

[@ashleylukin782]

We've got 3 of them between us and our kids, and have had a pole break on each one. Same story, don't know how they broke it just happened. The team at Crashpad have been brilliant and sent a pair of poles each time via express post at no charge. Cannot fault their service and love their product. Great review Ronny

[@connorwinter2555]

Thanks Ronny, after seeing the crashpad on your channel I fell in love and recently purchased the double. I couldn't be more happier with it!

[@bradwebber172]

You had me at Australian family owned 👍

[@ozziejim8472]

The big question is, ‘where are they made’??

[@boxheadmr]

Vella family, same ones own 4WD Supacenter.

[@Mack74]

Made overseas!

[@makatron]

@Kh2 ESP yeah it's finished in aussie but made in China most of the time

[@mcdooleydesigns509]

Me too

[@chenderson4969]

AOS swag I’ve had for 9 years and not had an issue with it yet, brilliant quality and a local Perth company!

[@Everything4WD]

I LOVE my Crash Pad Swag. Best feature is how quick and easy it is to set up. The simple fact that you don’t have to thread the pole through a canvass section make it that much easier and quicker. I also find the mattress super comfy. Also love how it is free standing and doesn’t need to be pegged out. I normally set it up on a stretcher so I’m off the ground which helps keeping it dry especially under the awning. The flaps also have eyelets which I sometimes use with a pole to aid in ventilation but still some privacy. Great review Ronny and love the channel 👍👍

[@Punchypax]

Excellent honest and thorough review as always. Love how you wait for ages to review a product as opposed to some who want to review when it arrives in the mail. 👍🏼

[@p2nv]

First time I saw one of his reviews I became a follower. Very thorough reviews and knows how to dumb it down for beginners.

[@OffroadTouringLife]

G’day Ronny, great feedback, I have had my black Strealth for 3 years now, and my double for 2 years. I bought my first swag when I was about 14. In the 30 plus years of sleeping in swags my Crashpad is the best by a country mile! Cheers Richard.

[@jackqualtrough7177]

I've been looking forward to this review for ages

[@jarrod1687]

8 ended up getting a king single forest. When I watched this review months ago you 100% sold me on a crashpad. Perfect for camping with the boys, and the tent for camping with the fam

[@maxcole1961]

Ronny, after so much research I purchased one of these swags. Waiting for it to arrive next week, your positive review made my day, thanks

[@ohsee1346]

Have had one for a couple of weeks now. A fantastic product; you won't be disappointed.

[@aarjunchadha4899]

Where did I source it, everywhere I search is out of stock?

[@Malc664]

@@aarjunchadha4899 Yeah I know , they must be good.

[@Chuckls101]

had my crashpad double for nearly 3 years now. heckin good swag! you wont be dissapointed in the quality. check out their sleep systems too.

[@viewsONTRENDING]

You won't be getting it next week mate, ships on 21st of this month, I also pre ordered one and the stealth is all ready sold out again lol

[@bretthughes34]

On ya Ronny big thanks. My Wife saw me watching this and dreaming. Couple weeks later one has turned up for my Birthday 😀😀😀

[@treeb3614]

Your vids are so honest, I already own one of these and stoked you like it, mine has had no dramas!

[@Gladius7]

Sold out every where. was going to get the CRASHPAD DOUBLE SWAG. thanks for the review Ronny.

[@connorfaughlin8139]

always keen to see a Ronny Dahl upload, re-watching old trips of yours is keeping me sane during these times

[@tommyinoz2100]

nice review, all things mentioned. I have the single and double in brown and couldn't be happier

[@Nashic12]

One of my old swags had a 50mm mattress and found it pretty uncomfortable because I sleep on my side, I suppose sleeping on your back you wouldn't notice it. Nice video Ronny! 👌

[@jimbojones2457]

Not a bad swag mate! I've had a few swags and now i believe i have found the best one ever! ARB Touring swag version 2 (has extra door). Absolutely love it. It is the tallest i believe in its class, freestanding like the Crashpad and i love the internal pockets and how strong the swag is. I know Ronny you don't like the 5 poles but i believe it makes the canvas more tight when setup and just feels robust. I use it on an Oztent stretcher and i absolutely love it. I also love the over centre main door for star gazing.

[@johnnychen9897]

Ronny, has a murdered-out tent matching his murdered-out Land Cruiser Also Ronny: casually pulls out a cute panda nightlight.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Hahaha that cute Panda 🐼 is the bomb

[@mohamedalihebboul2214]

Very nice description for this camping swag, I can't wait to go camping... Stay safe

[@kevinwaters-marsh217]

Great review thanks Ronny. I purchased one off your review. Thanks

[@mozzyoutbackadventures9172]

I own a Swag and i have alot of poles snap on it . I'm looking at buying one at some stage but ATM my swag is doing me well. I do like how the Crash pad comes in alot of colours. Always like your reviews Ronny.

[@joshmclaughlin1784]

I own this one and this is the first review I've seen since I've owned it. I fully agree with you, I took mine across the nullarbor on the back of a motorbike and it was (flippin) awesome. I'd rec it to any of my mates.

[@jamesmacdougall27]

Good Review. I own the double version, the dark colour is also what attracted me and the bag is spot on.😁

[@jacksneddon2106]

Was waiting for this for ages thank you

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Sorry mate takes time to test things out well. Hate to say things are great or good before I know 💯 thanks for your patience 🤙

[@basicsparkles]

Keen to watch this later tonight when I get home. cheers Ronny, looking forward to this!

[@shanestaff6307]

Just bought one can’t wait to go test it out after this lockdown is over

[@collieyak971]

Great review, cheers Ronny

[@slowboat6021]

great review thanks Ronnie, but I'll stick to the camper trailer, so it takes 10 minutes to set up but I get a queen size double bed a change room and a kitchen.

[@danielschreuder588]

Hey Ronny, you need to come down East Gippsland, plenty of snow here most years. Try Howitt Highplans or pretty much of the high plains, end of May/1st wk of June (just before parks close them). I have done this with my brother several years in a row and always worth it. Cheers mate

[@jackqualtrough7177]

Thanks Ronny, you helped me make up my mind on my next swag. I think I've been eyeing off the crashpad double swag for long enough

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Thank you for your honesty upfront about your relationship with Crashpad. My concern with this swag is the packed size, but that's only because I primarily use backpacking tents. If you packed it away wet how long before the canvas gets musty?

[@jamesbushy9031]

Cheers ronny just what i was looking for

[@GregPalmer2]

Good review young felah,never owned a swag l generally use a tarp or a small tent. The body is starting to go through the aging process so l can't do it rough these days,swag seems a lot more comfortable,like all swags you need to season them before you go out to the snow or wet weather.😁😁

[@katzie93]

I have a stretcher too...it becomes comfier than my bed at home. Love my swag!!!

[@harrynicholson2155]

Awesome review!!! Iv had mine for well over 12 months an it is hands down the best swag iv ever owned. I sleep better in it then my bed at home. I also have the crashpad sleeping bags and the are the bomb!

[@mikeyb6737]

Its a piece of shit compared to a Mr Swagman. 420 gsm vs 650 gsm. lol you bought a chinese swag mate. sucker

[@TheKenworthsar]

Mrs loves sleeping in our double crashpad . Simpson Desert, Fraser great swag and bag .

[@tlove9125]

Interesting review. Would have liked to see Torbs and his ARB next to you for a double review. A compare and contrast between them.

[@stephenhislop4864]

I've had my swag for over 15 years. It has no poles or flexible rods and it's designed to fit between the Wheel Arches on a well body ute. The mattress has the egg carton shaped on one side and is still very comfortable. I've never bothered about tarping under the swag and I've been in some heavy rain storms. I've always remained dry, in these situations. I've only used it in the south-west and though the great Southern regions of west Oz. Beach, bush, through the Escarpment, in all seasons. My personal thoughts; if a Swag has poles all flexible rods, its a tent.

[@forx4adventure638]

Great review as for myself I’ve used a few swag and found 23zero is my favorite (no water leak)

[@raduciprianpopa5414]

Excellent!! Thank you

[@meanrigs4x483]

have always been keen on crash pad, their gear seem to be good quality. Think i know what ill be getting next! good vid ronny

[@sirjezzumz]

great review mate. Earned yourself a sub. I will be buying one based off your review

[@gofaroverland7854]

The missus and I love our double crash pad swag. It's worth every cent!

great review Ronny

[@garyweir5635]

Thanks for the review good clip

[@obedevert28]

Thanks. Useful stuff.

[@chrisrippon6176]

Nice review mate . Could we get a suspension review next on the dobinsons please

[@brendanreece5415]

Have been waiting for this for a very long time. So keen

[@mikeyb6737]

Australian regards this swag as shitty. Look at the Mr Swagman ultimate King Single. We in Australian call that a swag. The Crashpad is a chinese knock off

[@JesseKnowles1999]

I have a Darche Dirty dee, I think you should give it a shot sometime Ronny. I believe Darche also have a swag called the Dusk to Dawn which is literally identical to this swag, Either must be very similar design or they're manufactured in the same factory or share some connection, Either way I've never heard anything negetive about them. Great unbiased review Ronny.. I put a pair of HTX 230s on my Jimny because of your review of them afew years ago, I may just consider a Crashpad for my partner who I will be purchasing a swag for soon too.

[@SaltyMedia801]

Watching from Salt Lake City, Utah👍

[@nate4036]

Ronny you should convince ARB to expand their equipment here in the states. I’d love to have their double swag to promote it. Our canvas wall tents, are big and most of the time do t have a floor. Our small tents (swag size) are junk thin materials like a kite material. I think they’d hit well over here

[@kainebarker4185]

I have 2 Crashpad doubles, can’t go wrong with them.👌🏼

[@amoscardoza5253]

Just went to order the swag and Crashpad is sold out of every style they have here in the states.

[@william6815]

Need to do a high country trip Ronny that would be awesome!

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

Thanks for the great vid, Ronny! The question I personally have is, can that nice big doorflap be guyed out as an awning, at all? :-)

[@amoscardoza5253]

Very good review! I'm currently looking for a new swag, so perfect timing and I'm glad you posted this. The vast majority of items you have suggested have worked very well for me. I would just like to say I appreciate these vids and thank you!!. I've also been visited by the ol' broken pole mystery bandit!.

[@bananasusyd]

Love your reviews Ronny. Would love to see more. We trust your opinions!

[@mikeyb6737]

Rhi this was not a Australian swag If you ever need one I own a Australian built Mr swagman swag. Its called the ultimate king single and boy is it built tough. 650 gsm desert sand ripstop canvas. This is what we call a swag. Look it up at the Mr swagman web site. They deliver world wide.

[@danmanlivingthedream7069]

Hey hey. You have to check out the "wingman of the road " tent. I think that is a swag from England for bikers that you and the aussies could love. Cheers from Germany

[@The_Mister]

Can’t wait to get mine.

[@garyhankinson5695]

I have a kulkyne double but is the same design basically. Being 110kg I find any swag mattress not enough. I bought a couple of cheap single size self inflating mats and slide them under the mattress. They are only 25mm thick but provide that extra cushioning and I don’t bottom out.

[@jacobroberts1928]

What fan were you holding ? I’m out in Arizona and it gets blistering hot that thing looks awesome

[@mlhse111]

Had been wondering what you guys were sleeping in. Im looking to get one as well look way more reliable and last longer. Need something for those quick weekends no needing offroad trailer. Too bad all sold out at the moment good on that small business.

[@stevenrutsch5026]

SOLD OUT on both websites! Wow Ronny, that was some sales pitch. Wish I could get one...

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

Been sold out for months mate I looked in April and they were sold out 😔

[@Mack74]

Because they are made in China and getting anything from there is taking longer than normal.

[@gavinmarshall9950]

Do you have condensation problems particularly in relation to the foam mattress and is there an easy way to address this?

[@Simon_R]

I was about to buy one last week but at the moment Crashpad are out of stock of every swag they sell (due to COVID I guess). Hopefully they get more in soon.

[@jamesruiz5844]

Mad dog thanks for the review!

[@samuelmartin3182]

At the moment I use a stretcher bed and and a very compat size swag with a tarp over top that I took onto the side of the car. Just like to know if you can camp with out a tarp underneath the swag

[@brettknowles3582]

Thanks for the review, Would that site comfortably on a camp stretcher ??

[@SATYAOBLETTE]

Is it better to have a roof tent or a camper trailer like a Bruder? Thank you for your answer.

[@krump7429]

Guilty!!! Ive packed away my oztent rv3 strapped it to the roof rack and wondered where my keys were... 😂😂😂 fml. Looks like a good swag my have to give one a go.

[@toddmillar4041]

I'm actually more interested in the Oz tent R3 im thinking of getting one. Are they easy to set up on your own they look heavy

[@krump7429]

@@toddmillar4041 hey mate. Its really easy to set up on ya own. Literally takes 30 seconds to erect the tent. Bit longer if u use all the ropes and pegs. The most difficult bit is putting it on the roof rack/ taking it off. Its about 2 meters long and weighs about 24kgs. So not to heavy, i have my mrs to help grab one half off the roof rack. Lots of room for 2 self inflating mattresses, and all our bags of clothes ect. The awning space that it comes with is really spacious and ive not needed my car awning set up since having the rv tent. I also sit it on a large c gear mat. Keeps the sand away extremely well. Its a good tent solid quality and lots of room. Con is its pack down size, definitley needs a roof rack to transport it around.

[@Gladius7]

Just Pre Ordered the DDL Desert. :)

[@LUKEYB0Y93]

Can confirm, stayed in the single crash pad swag with myself and another adult. It is totally doable.

[@ronjeremy6128]

Another bloke? Reacharound???

[@CroakerOutdoors]

Much like a RTT, I really like the swag but I just cant justify either when I don't have any overlanding/wilderness tracks in my area. Instead, I have a number of state parks where a 5lb 2p tent would do fine. I agree that a camping trailer with RTT is pretty sweet, but by the time I save up the money I'll have a family and have to stick with tents or get a pop up rv for the space/heat/AC/inside cabin room.

[@TasHikingAdventures]

snow lol come to tassie mate lol plenty of it here atm lol

[@skitzy8189]

For swag that is a year old sure looks nice and clean on the out side..what is your tip on how u clean the swag? The red dust has stained mine..

[@tbmich1976]

I bought one of these recently based on the reviews of Ronny and Harry from F2F. Gotta say I was very disappointed. It had a hole in the canvas which I meant I couldn’t use it for my upcoming trip and when we contacted them they only offered to exchange the shell, no mention of a refund. I thought generally it was pretty poor quality compared to my Darche Megadome so we returned it and still waiting for a refund.

[@tbmich1976]

So we returned the swag to crashpad and asked for a refund, the ignored our request and sent us a replacement. When we asked them why they said under consumer law they didn't have to provide a refund for a minor issue. So a hole in the canvas is a minor issue? Ronny, I wouldn't be associating yourself with these guys, this is just like the crap customer service Rhino rack provided to Tyler Thompson and needs to be called out.

[@joeking22]

Ronny, what is it's drop bear protection rating?

[@Jimmy_Saf]

Hey Ronny, how is this easier to set up than other swags with hoops on both ends and a pole in the centre?

[@gato8695]

Nice review mate , I've got a double crashpad and would say it beats my 2 previous darche swags by far .

[@yashthi]

love your review thanks mate

[@KaizenOz]

How?

[@toddwhiteley6808]

No please give a dishonest review! I see reviews start with my honest review kinda would be implied or better to so in my option. That really is more fitting. Thanks for doing it and helps make my purchase easier. When I read my honest review I really consider just passing on by. Some thing to consider, In my option. Take care and stay safe.

[@Chris-74]

Are the end poles the same size for both ends? This would make carrying an extra as a spare very easy !

[@tomcooper9625]

Do you ever tie or peg it down? I've seen a number of swags similar to this design and they can tip over (lengthwise) easily if you don't tie them down at the ends. Also whats wrong with getting a black tarp and throwing it over a beige swag? Thats what I've done for a couple years now and I recon its a great way to go.

[@joshobrien7708]

hi Ronny, what is your run time like with your 18v fan

[@carlosdonestevez7068]

What do you think of the gazzel t4 overland edition

[@perth4b4adventures]

I quite often roll my swag up and leave my keys or phone in it 🤣

[@ronjeremy6128]

Hey Ronny, have you ditched the crash pad and upgraded to a Rainger swag yet?

[@rodgie5754]

Not sure if this will help others but I'd go straight to your local canvas repairer and get the crappy plastic buckles changed over to metal 'D' rings. I've broken both plastic buckles on my Crashpad double now.

[@KrayzieRyan]

Where do we get the panda light from?

[@charltonorleans9529]

Whats your view f that will be compared to darche ridgedome sir?

[@Mack74]

@Ronny GREAT Review and Content as always. Could you make a slight modification to reviews from now on please. Can you add where they are made! Although crashpad are a Aussie family which is great they are not made in Australia and to me that really matters. Id rather pay another 100 bucks to support Australian Manufacturing etc

[@bbggakkba]

I wish I got this one, I've had all darche swags and love them all, if this was in stock I would have gotten this instead

[@chrissmith3222]

they are great in snow

[@seanmcm157]

nice review ronny

[@markholtan5696]

I need to order one of those here in the states, so I can sleep on my roof rack with it 👍👍

[@mikeyb6737]

Don't buy it - its chinese -- buy the Australian built Mr swagman ultimate king single. Built in Australia for 4 seasons

[@jcam1934]

They may be good, but personally I won't buy a swag unless it has a pvc bucket floor where the pvc extends up the sides. I've woken to pooled water and not a single drop inside. I can also enter from both sides and both ends so bedding doesn't get wet when entering in rain. Also has a hoop inside to hang a mini lantern, better spread of light than a hand held light. Thanks for review.

[@phillippayne8170]

Is there a distributor here in Western Australia Ronny???

[@OneDollarGentleman]

Hey mate, are these sold from a shop in Perth?

[@thebob3712]

how does it being black make it dry quicker than any other color? maybe if its a sunny morning and it is out in the sun but apart from that I cant see how a green or blue swag would take longer to dry

[@nunoqueirosalves3103]

Sold Out. Where to find it ?
