For many camping enthusiasts, weekend outdoor plans are often discouraged by one thing - the "heaviness" of traditional rooftop tents. Those big guys supported by iron frames not only have to put in a lot of effort to store them in the garage, but also have to keep an eye on the height limit pole after being loaded onto the car, afraid of rubbing against the overpass or garage entrance. What's even more troublesome is that after a camping trip, it takes half an hour to dismantle and fold, and I'm so tired that I just want to collapse on the sofa - this is not enjoying nature, it's clearly making me feel guilty. But now, the emergence of inflatable rooftop tents is rewriting this embarrassment.
Play.Do! The most surprising thing about the castle tent is that it takes portability to the extreme. Thanks to its fully inflatable design, its folded size is 76 * 50 * 32 cm, which is more than enough to fit into the trunk and can even be placed directly in a corner of the garage without taking up extra space. More importantly, its tent weighs only 18 kilograms, making it easy for many female campers to lift and install on the roof of the car, not to mention the muscular ones.
Compared to traditional rooftop tents, its advantage is simply a "dimensionality reduction blow":
For families living in urban apartments, this is simply the key to 'camping freedom'. Don't give up your outdoor plans for the "garage can't fit" anymore, and don't worry about canceling weekend trips due to "installation being too complicated". On Friday night after work, I took it out of the corner of the balcony, put it in the trunk, and brought some outdoor tables, chairs, and benches. On Saturday morning, I could rush to the national park with my family, set up a tent with them on site, and enjoy the happiness of working together with them. In just 15 minutes, there was indeed a lot of joy integrated into it; After returning on Sunday, roll it up and stuff it into the trunk, even take it directly into the apartment elevator, and temporarily store it in the corner of the living room - without delaying the pace of Monday's work.
If you're tired of the hassle of traditional rooftop tents and want to return camping to its "relaxed and comfortable" essence, this easy to store tent is definitely worth a try. After all, the meaning of outdoor activities is to enjoy the sunshine and starry sky, not to be kidnapped by equipment. Let's lighten the burden for your next adventure now - after all, the best camping equipment should be as intangible as air, yet indispensable.
