Not Your Grandpa’s Camping Trip
By: ItsJer

Take camping to another level and experience the great outdoors without having to ‘rough it’ - and no, I’m not talking about ‘glamping’ either. I’m talking about car camping! Vacation the cheap way by converting your ride into your own personal and private sleeping quarters. We’ll show you how to maximize your camping experience.

Money Saver

Roll your windows down and enjoy the breeze because autumn is here, and it’s the perfect weather to go on a camping trip! When your car doubles as your transportation and hotel, it’s the easy and smart way to go on a trip. Car camping also comes in handy for times you just don’t want to pay for a hotel, for events such as, festivals, concerts, etc.

Before you hit the road, we recommend purchasing this great gear to transform your ride.
