Here at 4×4 Works, we stock several camping upgrades with this in mind, including the latest and greatest rooftop tents and awnings. Read on to discover our top upgrades for camping and take the toughest terrains in your stride.
1. Front Runner Easy-Out Awning Room
Many benefits go hand-in-hand with adding an awning room to your 4×4 setup. Along with the added space and increased privacy, the sun protection offered by an awning room is ideal for exploring the harshest off-road settings in complete comfort as 3BenefitsOf explains:
“Awnings help block the sun without obstructing your view. Some types, like the rack and full roof awnings, are preferred by 4×4 enthusiasts simply because they completely block off the sun. If that’s not your main goal, though, you can go for a canopy awning. Regardless, it will provide you with sun and rain protection at all times, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors with a pint of beer even in unfavourable weather.”
The Front Runner Easy-Out Awning Room is a premium, easy to set up, and UV and water-resistant option for those in the market for a high-quality awning.
Available in 2-metre and 2.5-metre widths, this awning is lightweight yet durable, and able to be secured across a range of ground conditions. Pack-up is also made simple with the Easy-Out Awning, especially with the brand’s Easy-Out Awning Brackets.
2. Dometic TRT120E Rooftop 4WD Tent
For a comfortable base to bed down for the night, the Dometic TRT120E Rooftop 4WD Tent, again from Front Runner, is a professional-grade addition.
The Dometic 4WD roof tent can be erected in minutes at the touch of a button thanks to its 12V-powered, remote-controlled operation. Complete with a high-density foam mattress, this rooftop tent is your ticket to a great night’s sleep wherever you end up after a day of off-roading.
Its water-resistant, UPF 50+, two-layer material is durable, protective, and thermally insulating, and the included lightweight, telescopic aluminium ladder allows easy entrance every time. This rooftop tent is available in Forest or Ocean.
3. Front Runner Slimsport Roof Rack Kit
The addition of a Front Runner awning or rooftop tent wouldn’t be complete without Slimsport Roof Rack installation. This vehicle-specific kit is compatible with all Front Runner roof tents and awnings, as well as a range of other mounted accessories.
It’s also modular in design, unlocking yet more advantages for 4×4 drivers. By adding the modular Front Runner Slimsport Roof Rack Kit to your vehicle, you’ll realise the potential of a truly compatible upgrade, a low profile, an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and a high weight capacity despite its lightweight.
4. ARB Slide Kitchen
Life on the road isn’t easy; you can’t bring everything but the kitchen sink with you after all. That was until the ARB Slide Kitchen.
The ARB Slide Kitchen has received rave reviews for its features. With the complete module sporting a stainless steel worktop, 3 burner gas stove, collapsible sink, dish drying base, utensils holder and drawer storage, you can really cook up a storm off-road.
4. ARB Zero Bluetooth Fridge Freezer
Even if you do invest in the ARB Slide Kitchen, you’ll need a gadget that keeps all those kitchen supplies super fresh.
The ARB Zero Bluetooth Fridge Freezer is the most innovative refrigeration upgrade on the market. Its Bluetooth capabilities, steel construction, anti-condensation technology, low draw variable speed compressors and rapid cooling function keep food, drink and medication cool in all climates.
The ARB Zero Bluetooth Fridge Freezer is available in 44-litre, 60-litre, 69-litre and 96-litre capacities, the latter two of which feature dual zones for more versatile cooling options.
