“AN X-FACTOR IS A QUICK SET UP AND THE LARGE STORAGE VOLUME THIS STYLE OF CAMPER AFFORDS, BUT WITH THE SWAG IT’S ALSO THE FOCUS ON THE INTERNAL LIVING ROOM, THAT IS ESSENTIALLY ALL POTENTIAL SLEEPING SPOTS” – TIM VAN DUYL

For couples and young families looking for ease-of-use, the bones of the Swag impress. With Aus-spec steel used in the chassis with an alloy frame that is insulated and clad with an Alupanel-like outer, it is built well.

At 13-feet, its small footprint makes it easy to tow and park, and with the roof down, it isn’t too tall at around 2.3m. You will be able to tow your Raptor X13 most places in Australia, though you will need a mid-size SUV or ute with around 3000kg tow capacity to not strain the tow tug too much. Once at camp, basic set-up might take six to ten minutes, with the rear-extension being the only real consuming process, as our X13 came with a quality Fiamma F45S awning.
