OFFROADCAMPER
OF THE YEAR
Aussie SwagUltra D
WINNER
Refer to the centre pages for a full listing of inclusions, optional extras and prices.
Some of the standard features on all models include:
For the ultimate in luxury off road travel, Aussie Swag Campers has three top of the line models, the Rover LX, Ultra D and Ultra G. All models have the same tent and body structure with independent trailing arm suspension for worry free travel over the roughest roads. They are the result of 28 years manufacturing experience and extensive use in remote and arduous conditions.
UltraFor fully self supported off-road travel the Ultra has it all - hot water sytem, internal heating, solar panel, fridge/freezer and much more. Built to handle anything your vehicle can without compromising on the comforts and little luxuries of a top of the line camper trailer, the Ultra is superbly designed, engineered and manufactured. If you want to simply hitch up and go, either for a weekend getaway or an across Australia trek, the Ultra has what it takes.
Rover LXThe Rover LX is structually identical to the Ultra but has less inclusions. It is for people who want to install their own equipment such as a fridge or solar panel or who do not want all the features of an Ultra. Rest assured, with a Rover LX you are still getting the best.
Please note, you are not confined to the specifications we have decided on. Our customers can, and do, pick and choose the equipment that best suits their requirements.

The Kitchen
Aussie Swag Campers’ durable and easy cleaning, stainless steel kitchen makes cooking in the outdoors easy and enjoyable. The ‘L’ shaped design means everything needed is within arm’s reach, and because it is outside, the cook is where all the action is. It is also easily accessible on the road for meals where and when you want them.
Aussie Swag’s kitchen slides out and swings around, locking against the side of the trailer out of the weather and freeing up space under the awning. The swing around concept was invented by Aussie Swag in the mid 90’s, and since then has been continually refined until we have the master piece that it is today. We encourage people to try it for themselves, slide the kitchen and pantry in and out, inspect the workmanship and fittings, and imagine yourself using it. The precision, practicality and quality is twenty years in the making.
The kitchen has a large sink with electric water pump and flick mixer (with hot water in the Ultra), draining board, preparation benches and a four burner flame failure stove with grill. Stainless steel wind guards are fitted around the stove burners, which together with the bi-fold windshield around the stove itself, helps reduce the effects of wind when cooking. Two gas bottles ensure you will never be out of gas, and for added ease of use, the gas supply is automatically cut off when the kitchen is put away and turned on when the kitchen is opened. (Please note that the gas must be turned off at the bottle when travelling.)
The 100 litre slide out pantry above the kitchen remains free from dust and insects and holds goods securely, preventing damage on rough roads. The pantry also contains a built in cutlery holder and can be opened fully without interfering with other areas of the kitchen.
The compartments under the sink and stove provide storage for pots and other utensils, a stainless steel splash back sits behind the sink to protect the canvas, and there is a LED light above the sink and stove. Above the light is a storage container, a spice rack and a place to keep knives out of harm’s way. A lift out food grade, cutting board bench sits next to the draining board. Also, items stored in the roof rack on top of the kitchen box do not need to be moved to open the trailer or access the kitchen and pantry.
As it stands, the swing around kitchen is out of the weather, but to further weather proof it without requiring any extra poles or ropes, zip on an end wall and attach the infill above the fridge. With this set up the fridge, pantry and cooking area are all fully protected, the back corner burner being usable even in strong wind.
A large, two compartment steel box is fitted to the draw bar in front of the kitchen. It is made from 1.2mm zinc anneal with checker plate on top. In the Ultra, the kitchen side of the box carries an 80 litre Waeco fridge/freezer that slides out beside the pantry for easy, under cover access. The slide out fridge/freezer compartment is vented with filter foam for dusty conditions and has a 12 volt fan for improved refrigeration performance. A large bench with tea towell rack swings over from the fridge and has an inbuilt support for roadside stops or removeable legs for longer stays. When there is no fridge fitted, this area is used for extra storage.
The second compartment on the other side is also vented with filter foam and can house a generator, tools, ropes, pegs and sundries. A solar panel is carried on top of the fridge/storage box, allowing the camper to receive charge whenever it is outside.
Aussie Swag Campers prides itself on making unbreakable camper trailers. The backbone of any trailer is the undercarriage - the chassis, draw bar and suspension. Outback conditions will destroy equipment not made to withstand the rigours of unrelenting corrugations and bull dust filled potholes. Aussie Swag Campers have had the same chassis making team for the last twenty eight years, and they have seen it all. We encourage you to have a good look under our trailers to see what makes a camper built to take you anywhere you want to go and back again. Longevity is assured by hot dip galvanising the entire undercarriage, including the trailing arms.
The chassis is hot dipped galvanised 100 x 75 x 6mm RHS. Its trouble free design and construction have been perfected during the last 28 years of our campers being towed through the roughest conditions in Australia. The chassis and draw bar are engineer certified to meet ADR 62.
The draw bar is 2.2m long and is constructed from 125 x 75 x 6mm hot dipped galvanized steel angle. It is set up with the following features:• A large, two compartment storage/fridge box made from
zinc anneal that is the same width as the trailer body (1.7m). Two jerry can holders and two gas bottles are mounted in front of this box.
• Treg or DO-35 couplings with attachment for towing vehicle. These off-road couplings articulate in all directions, are easy to attach and give a smooth feel when towing.
• Large, solid rubber, swing up jockey wheel.• Reinforced stone guard for stone protection.• Mechanical hand brake.• Charge wire with Anderson plug to enable charging of the
battery pack when travelling.
The 12” Alko electric brakes were developed especially for Australian off road travel. They are an efficient high performance unit and recommended for safe towing. A suitable brake control unit (pendulum style) must be installed in the tow vehicle.
Standard hubs are 6 stud, fitted with new, all terrain 265 x 70 R16 tyres. Other tyre sizes and stud patterns are available and can generally be matched to the tow vehicle. This is often an extra cost if the trailer wheels need to be genuinely interchangeable with the tow vehicle and vice versa.
The Trailer
Suspension The trailers have an independent trailing arm suspension, with Pedders off road coils and gas/foam shock absorbers, which gives smooth, stable travel over rough, corrugated roads and tracks. The suspension has proven to last many years use in the roughest conditions, and in the eleven years with the current configuration there have been no failures. The removable 60mm stub axles and bearings are rated to 2000 kgs, giving the Ultra a huge pay load of 650 kgs. The trailing arms along with the complete under carriage are hot dipped galvanised for lasting protection against corrosion.
The spare wheel with winch is carried in a galvanised cradle under the trailer. The winch handle is carried inside the lid of the under floor storage compartment and can be accessed through the tailgate.
The 130 litre water tank is made from food grade, extra strong 8mm thick polyethylene. This eliminates the need for a steel stone guard saving weight and inconvenience. It is filled through a lockable filler on the outside of the trailer. There is an electric water pump for the kitchen sink and a water level gauge so you should never knowingly run out of water. There is also a gravity fed water tap fitted behind the mud flap for easy access while travelling.

The Rover LX standard battery pack includes:• 1 x sealed Deka Intimidator RV/Marine AGM 105 amp hour deep cycle battery• Pro Nautic Pro Mariner 60 amp 240 volt automatic battery charger • Ctek D250S DC-DC multi stage charger regulating current from solar panel and/or tow vehicle’s alternator to the trailer’s batteries• Victron Precision Battery Monitor BMV-600 measuring battery voltage, current and state of charge • Charging wire for camper and tow vehicle (tow vehicle installation not included)
The electronics are the heart of a camper trailer designed to be independent of mains power, and should not be overlooked when in the pursuit of freedom from caravan parks. They are also a main reason our campers cost so much, as money must be spent to have a quality system. Although the technical nature of electronics can be confusing, fundamentally it is all about keeping the fridge cold and the showers hot. Aussie Swag Campers has put together a system of quality components that is easy as possible to operate.
Standard inclusions on the Rover LX and Ultra are:• 2 x 240 volt power points and safety switch inside the camper• 2 x 12 volt sockets wired to the trailer’s battery inside the camper• 2 x 12 volt sockets on the exterior• 1 x 240 volt power outlet on the exterior of the camper• 2 x LED reading lights with master switch and over head LED strip light. LED light in pantry.
The Ultra battery pack is the same plus:• Three sealed AGM 105 amp hour deep cycle batteries
A 700 watt pure sine wave inverter is standard in the Ultra models. The inverter allows 240 volt appliances such as laptop computers, media players, TV and mobile phone battery chargers to be operated via the trailer battery pack. (We do not install modified sine wave inverters which cost a lot less but are not recommended for many appliances).
The 135 watt solar panel (standard on the Ultra) can charge the battery pack when 240 volt power is unavailable. The Ctek D250S DC-DC charger ensures the batteries are not overcharged. The panel is stored on the fridge box and charges in its mounted position, but when camped is better put out in the sun (most people camp in any available shade) using a 15m extension cord and security cable. The panel stands up using two twist lock anodized aluminium tent pole legs and can charge up to 10 amps an hour in ideal conditions. On a clear winter’s day a more realistic charge rate would be 7 amps an hour. Running the 80 litre fridge, lights and water pump can use roughly 60 amps a day (this figure varies widely depending on usage and conditions), so a panel facing the sun for 7 hours a day almost has this covered. On average the 315 amp hour battery pack of the Ultra is enough for three to four days camping without recharge. However, in situations where there has been several days of bad or even cloudy weather, the solar panel will not supply enough power to recharge the batteries and a generator becomes the quickest and most efficient means of recharging. As such, Aussie Swag fits as standard a 60 amp 240v charger and high quality, low resitance batteries to allow the fastest recharge times possible.
The Electrics
A problem that travellers often have is the unsatisfactory operation of refrigeration without the availability of mains power, particularly in hot, dusty conditions. The most common complaints are of flat batteries and fridges not keeping cold in hot weather. In 1987 Aussie Swag Campers was the first to successfully operate refrigeration in camping trailers, and since then has used advances in technology to provide the best system available. Travellers can be assured that refrigerators will operate successfully without the need to run a generator day and night.
12v compressor fridges, such as the Waeco 80L standard on the Ultra, are the most versatile for outback camping. They can be operated as both fridge and freezer at the same time, have a relatively low current draw, can run at 50°C below ambient temperature and are tough enough to withstand the rigours of outback travel. However, they do require a comprehensive electronic backup to operate trouble free, and because refrigeration is essential to enjoyable camping, Aussie Swag has put together a system that will not let you down.
The Victron Battery Monitor BMV-600 measures the battery voltage, current, and state of charge to keep users informed.
U.S. made Deka Intimidator RV/Marine AGM 105 amp hour batteries deliver long, deep discharges typical of Marine and RV applications. Low internal resistance means strong power delivery and fast unlimited current recharging at regulated voltages.
Why spend extra on quality batteries and charging system? Deka Intimidator RV/Marine 105Ah batteries have an unlimited recharge capacity. Charged by the Pro Marine 60 amp charger, the battery pack accepts 60 amps per hour until it is 90% full and then progressively cuts down. A generator need only be run for one hour to get 60 amps charge. A 25 amp charger or cheaper batteries without unlimted recharge capacity, have to be run for 2 hours 20 minutes to deliver the same charge. The Ctek DC-DC charger provides the same staged charging while driving or through solar, but at a lesser rate of 20 amps per hour maximum.
Pro Nautic Pro Mariner 60 Amp charges at 60 amps an hour on 240v power.
Ctek’s D250S Dual automatically selects the best DC source (either the tow vehicle’s alternator or solar panel) and charges at up to 20 amps an hour.
Kyocera 135w panel charges at up to 10 amps an hour.
A slide out 80 litre Waeco fridge/freezer, housed in a steel, fan forced, vented and insulated box, is a standard feature in the Ultra models and provides quick and easy access to your food and drinks even when the camper is closed. (fridge bench and old style pantry pictured above).

▲ Excellent weather protection over windows
An external water source fitted to both hot water systems allows the trailer’s 130 litre water tank to be saved for kitchen use and drinking. Shower water can be sourced from creeks or bores which is convenient in areas where drinking water is scarce. This solution is more practical than having a second tank as even with an 80L tank (only the equivalent of four jerry cans) once it is empty there are no more showers until it is refilled which requires moving the camper.
An added benefit of pumping water directly from an external source is that you can easily monitor water usage. This feature is especially useful with children as it is easy to go through 20L in one shower without realizing it. Also, when adjusting the flick mixer to get the required water temperature, the unused water can be directed back into the jerry can, again saving water. Please see Aussie Swag’s You Tube channel for videos of both heaters in action.
The shower room is made of a quick drying, high quality nylon that can be packed away wet. It has air vents, two large closing windows and hangers for towels and shampoo. It is big enough to change in or for parent and child to shower together.
The Ultra G uses a Truma gas powered heater that takes 34 minutes to heat a 14 litre water tank to 70 degrees and uses 120 grams of gas per hour, providing safe and fast water heating for the shower and kitchen. The gas bottles are upgraded to two 9 kg for extended range, so one fuel source is used for cooking and heating. A gas space heater is also available for an extra cost. The Ultra G also has a 315Ah battery pack.
Aussie Swag has two options for hot water, diesel and gas.
The Ultra D uses the Webasto Thermo Top E diesel heater. A diesel powered furnace heats glycol that in turn passes through a heat exchanger to heat the water. It takes less than 10 minutes for the boiler to reach a temperature suitable for showering, providing continuous hot water. Water temperature is adjusted by a flick mixer within easy reach of the shower.
The Thermo Top E model has a fuel consumption of 0.29 – 0.47 L/hr (partial load – full load) with a power consumption of 22-26W (partial load – full load). A 12 litre fuel tank plumbed to the heater is installed on the drawer bar.
The heating unit is housed in an insulated steel box mounted on the drawer bar. Insulation is vital, as the furnace is initially fired up by a glow plug that uses 7 amps of battery power per heating cycle. Therefore the better glycol temperature is maintained, the less often the furnance has to cycle, preserving precious 12v battery power. The Ultra D has a massive 315Ah battery pack to easily accommodate the extra 12v use.
The Thermo Top E also incorporates a ducted air heater which is standard on the Ultra D. Heat generated by the boiler is blown into the camper trailer by a fan. Again to prevent heat loss, all piping is covered in insulated lagging. The air heater is controlled separately by a variable fan ON/OFF switch.
There are many options available for the large box housing the shower controls. It can be left as is for storage, a generator slide can be installed or custom made shelves can be built to customer specifications. ▼
◄ Both Gas and Diesel hot water heaters are housed in drawer bar box
Two poles are needed to put up shower room without off side awning or four with.
Hot Water and Space Heating
The Ultra has mesh in the roof rack for carrying items that are large or cumbersome.
In the kitchen there is a large, slide out, 100L pantry and an under sink storage area to keep all your food and kitchen items. A checker plated roof rack on top of the kitchen unit stores extra gear and does not need to be unloaded to open the trailer or access the kitchen. An optional storage bag is available to optimise usage of this space. There is also a large steel box in front of the kitchen which is divided into two vented compartments. In the Ultra one of these compartments is used to house an 80L Waeco fridge/freezer (which slides out beside the pantry), while the other can hold a generator and a hot water system (standard on the Ultra), ropes, pegs, etc. In the Rover LX these boxes are used for storage.
Aussie Swag campers have ample storage. The Rover LX and Ultra all have a huge 280L, slide out, under bed storage drawer which is also accessible through the rear tailgate when the camper is closed, and there is also enough room under the drawer to carry a fold up table. There is plenty of useful space in the side bins beside the bed, accessible when the bed is down, and flat folding chairs can be stored on top of the bed with the bed made up. The area above the battery bin is also useful for storing items that need to be accessed through the tailgate.
Under sink storage and grill
The premium innersping mattress is 1950mm x 1415mm x 130mm. The bed has space at the sides, allowing easier bed making and providing access to the side storage bins.
100L pantry with cutlery storage
Storage
The infill has a screen and canvas window, so the kitchen rack storage area is still accessible in bad weather from inside the annex
Aussie Swag Campers uses top quality, Australian made, Dynaproofed canvas which has been developed to handle diverse Australian conditions. The canvas is a water and mould proofed, heavy duty, cotton/polyester with a two year manufacturer’s warranty. All models are fitted with a tropical roof (a second, replaceable roof) which forms a breeze way between the inner and outer roof layers to keep the camper cool and minimise condensation.
A large 7‘ x 17‘ (2.1m x 5.2m) annex roof zips on to cover the kitchen, and a second slightly smaller 4‘7 x 17‘ (1.4m x 5.2m) awning zips on to the other side of the camper to provide excellent weather protection. The versatile smaller awning can also be zipped onto the kitchen side with an extension to cover the kitchen area. This is ideal after a long day of driving when you want protection over the kitchen that is quick and easy to set up. The smaller awning can stay zipped on and rolled up when the camper is closed, so after opening it up, only two to four poles are needed to get full cover. You can be set up and relaxing in minutes. Pack up time is also quick, for an early getaway the next morning.
A window flap over the draw bar zips to the main awning. This forms a shade cover for the fridge/storage box. There are two screened side door ways and three large, zippered windows around the bed area with inside flaps for privacy and weather control. The large windows and door ways allow the tent to be opened up for plenty of airflow in warmer conditions. All windows and doorways have solid canvas window flaps and doors which allow the camper to be fully closed in during cold, wet or windy conditions. All doors and window flaps also have double slides with tried and tested YKK zips. The tent has a zippered screened back doorway to which a rear bed room can be attached.
The large awning can also stay zipped on when the trailer is packed, if it is flipped over onto the main tent before closing up. Practicality is a priority in an Aussie Swag’s design as there is no use in having all the bells and whistles if the camper is not quick to set up and easy to use.

The Tent
◄ The rear Bed/Kid's room, 2m long and 1.6m wide, is big enough for two bunk beds side by side but small enough to be left attached to the camper when closed. The rear flap also extends to provide a tropical roof, minimising condensation and also cooling the inside. Three large windows close from the inside and allow plenty of air flow. The end window has an outside flap as well for weather protection and ventilation when conditions are wet and humid.
Aussie Swag Campers has developed an airflow roof vent in the centre of the inner roof that uses convection to maximise air flow inside the camper in warmer weather. The vent can be closed off in colder conditions or left open to reduce internal condensation.
The side Bed/Kid’s Room is one whole room, 4m long x 1.6m wide. The canvas roof, canvas walls and heavy duty vinyl floor are sewn into one piece. Access is through the second doorway of the main tent and an outside screened doorway (which is double zipped) located at the front end of the camper. In addition to the two screened doors, the Kid’s Room also has three large windows closed on the interior of the tent. ▼
Aussie Swag Campers has a number of annex pack options available. (Refer to the price list for details of the packs.) Screen walls with covers can be zipped to the awning roof to form a fully enclosed annex. The canvas covers can be removed, rolled up or pegged out at an angle to improve air circulation.

The optional easy lift boat loader is made from hot-dipped galvanised steel and can be attached to all models. It has four heavy duty gas struts to enable the loader to be easily lifted over the side and all the way to the ground with the boat still attached. The loader can be taken off when it is not required. The maximum recommended weight of the boat is 80kg with a maximum length of 3.7m for safe towing in off-road conditions.
A folding boat trailer, such as the Real Ezy Barcoo shown, can be carried on a bracket on the boat loader. Depending on the size of boat, the carrier is mounted beside the boat or under it. The outboard motor is mounted behind a forward fitted stone guard.
