Car tents and awnings

What is a car tent?

A car tent is a tent designed to be attached to a vehicle. If you have a utility vehicle, the car tent is installed at the rear and fits the shape of your tailgate. If you own a van, the car tent can be integrated on the side near the sliding door of your van or at the rear, depending on the chosen tent model.

The tent becomes one with your vehicle, allowing you to enjoy an additional space alongside your van or car. This provides you with your vehicle for sleeping and cooking, as well as a covered area to set up a table or additional sleeping spaces. It's perfect for nature getaways during fine weather!

How to install a car tent?

This type of tent provides you with a closed shelter in case of bad weather and protection from the sun. How do you install a car tent?

For a car

Car tents are designed to fit the rear of your utility vehicle. Once attached to the tailgate of your vehicle, you have a large shelter against the rain. All you have to do is set up your table and chairs or mattresses if you plan to sleep in it.

Some models can stand on their own once guyed out. This means you can use your car during the day without having to dismantle the tent. In the evening, you simply park the vehicle in the same spot and reattach the fabric to connect the car and the tent.

For a van

Tents for vans can be installed on the side or at the rear of the vehicle, depending on the chosen tent model. In both cases, the tent provides you with an additional sheltered space. For added comfort during your stay, you can also add a shower tent nearby.

Why buy a car tent?

A car tent is easy to install and provides additional space. When your vehicle is no longer enough to accommodate everyone, or simply because you want an additional sheltered space for more comfort, a car tent is ideal. It's a much more affordable solution than buying a larger vehicle and more comfortable than staying in a regular tent. It's also less expensive than a roof tent.

A car tent allows you to add sleeping spaces or set up a table and kitchen equipment. Some car tent models are freestanding, allowing you to detach the tent from the car and go for a walk without having to dismantle the tent.
