New Camping Trend, Exploring The Outdoors With A Car Roof Tent

Date:


Camping in the great outdoors is one of the best ways to get away from it all and experience nature in a new way. However, traditional camping can be cumbersome and time-consuming, from packing up all the gear to setting up camp. But what if you could take off for an outdoor adventure without having to worry about any of that? A new trend is making it possible for people to go camping with just their car and a roof tent on top.

According to Greg, owner of Mako56 and Ireland’s first rooftop seller, “every year, the demand for rooftop tents gets higher”. The demand for rooftop tents is now 750% higher than before covid.

The roof tent trend has been gaining traction worldwide, especially among millennials looking for easy and exciting ways to explore nature. The tents have everything you need; an insulated mattress, a ladder, and even a skylight. So they are ready to use right out of the box. You must attach them to your car’s roof rack or trailer hitch and hit the road!

Plus, these tents fit on most standard cars so you don’t have to buy an expensive camper van or SUV. This makes them more accessible than ever, which has helped boost their popularity further. They also provide added security since you can lock your car doors at night. And because they lift off the ground, you don’t have to worry about things like bugs or dampness from sleeping directly on the ground.

The lightweight design also makes them ideal for backpacking trips since they can easily fit into a backpack when folded up. Plus, many models come equipped with solar panels that let you charge your devices while on the go so you can stay connected wherever your travels take you.

Be Completely Independent For Travel

Having a rooftop tent makes camping so much more convenient because it eliminates the need for packing bulky tents and sleeping bags. With a rooftop tent, all your gear stays on top of your vehicle and when it’s time to move on to another campground or location, all you have to do is roll up the tent and drive away! This means you can get up and go whenever the mood strikes without worrying about packing everything up first. It also makes trips shorter since there’s no need for pitching camp each night; you arrive at your destination and slip into bed. The rooftop tent was also a big topic in 2022 at th Outdoor by ISPO in Munich.

Key Takeaway


Car roof tents provide adventurers with unprecedented freedom to explore nature, enabling people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy camping without having to lug around heavy equipment or set up complicated campsites. Check out this exciting new trend if you’re looking for an easy way to experience the great outdoors in style.
