For those venturing off the beaten track, camping wilder provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy every aspect of your chosen destination. Even the most scenic and stunning spots however can’t be relished without the right equipment.
Making your home away from home cosy, comfortable and convenient, whatever off-road challenges you face, is possible with the following camping upgrades.
1. Invest in a roof tent
Functional, durable and made for comfort, rooftop tents are off-road camping game changers. Unlike traditional ground tents, roof tents are mounted on top of your vehicle to unlock many more perks.
A higher level of safety and cleanliness will certainly come in handy when travelling the world’s most exotic and remote off-roading hotspots, with those using a rooftop tent well out of reach of creepy crawlies and other critters.
Rooftop tents are also faster and easier to set up, meaning you can pitch up anywhere, regardless of ground conditions, and hit the hay after a long day off-roading within minutes. We’ll let Where the Road Forks explain just how fast setup is with a roof tent:
“A well-designed hard-shell rooftop tent can be set up by one person in less than 60 seconds. You simply unlock some latches, pop the tent up with the help of some gas struts, then lock it in place with safety supports. This is faster and easier than setting up any ground tent because you don’t need to mess with a footprint, poles, stakes, guy lines, etc. It practically pitches itself.”
2. Accessorise with an awning
Increase your living space when travelling off-road by teaming your new rooftop tent with a compatible awning.
Providing added sun, wind and rain protection, increased privacy, and excellent coverage, an awning helps you harness a long list of advantages. Whether you choose to use your awning as a makeshift living area, dining room or storage space, fitting an awning to your 4×4 is simple and extremely satisfying.
3. Pack a portable fridge freezer…
One off-roading supply no overlander can go without is food, and keeping it cool and edible throughout your journey requires the right tech.
Our portable fridge freezers unlock the cooling capabilities that keep precious food and drink fresher for longer. Purchase a fridge freezer with a compatible fridge slide to make accessing goodies quick and easy, even in a fully loaded 4×4.
4. …or bring the entire kitchen
If you’re travelling off-road for an extended period, having access to all the comforts of home is important. Whilst a portable fridge keeps the edible supplies you need cool, turning this fresh produce into a delicious meal should be just as convenient. That’s where the ARB Slide Kitchen comes in.
For serious off-roaders, the ARB Slide Kitchen is a great investment. Bring everything – including the kitchen sink! – to enjoy a heavy-duty, versatile and fully equipped kitchen.
5. Kick back in a camping chair
