An easy-to-install kit to convert a car into a camper, enabling more people to embrace the vanlife camping lifestyle. It offers a more spontaneous and flexible way to bring your shelter along, with comfortable sleeping solutions that also provide ample space for storage and additional add-ons.
Most of us are familiar with van life. However, practicing this lifestyle requires a significant commitment of both money and time. We followed Thule’s philosophy to enable more people to practice active lifestyles. When you already travel by car, why not use it as an already set-up shelter? Therefore, we have developed a flexible and easy-to-setup car camper kit to enable more people to enjoy camping with their ordinary cars. It can be more challenging with regular cars since the space is more limited, and all cars have different sizes and not always straight surfaces. However, our adjustable kit offers flexible storage solutions. It is lightweight thanks to the use of Thule’s typical materials, such as sturdy aluminum profiles. We wanted to use non destructive mounting that can be easily used in rented cars. The kit provides an even sleeping platform, utilizes the remaining space for flexible and accessible storage, and offers a luxurious sleeping experience on an air mattress powered by the car’s electricity.
