van tent

Ah, the van tent — the Swiss Army knife of camping gear for those who think a regular tent is just too mainstream. Essentially, it’s a tent designed to attach to the side or rear of your van, creating a seamless extension of your mobile home. This means you get more living space without squashing yourself inside the van like a sardine. Prices can vary wildly depending on the brand and size, but expect to shell out between $300 and $1,200 AUD new, with used options often lurking on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for less. Key specs to look for include weather resistance, ease of setup, and compatibility with your van model. Perfect for those who want to embrace the outdoors without giving up creature comforts. Check the manufacturer’s specs to make sure it fits your van like a glove.
