Do you want a large minivan tent that attaches to the back of your vehicle and is easy to set up? The Napier Backroadz 5-person car tent works for minivans, SUVs and cross-over vehicles – and it assembles in 10 minutes.
4 Advantages of this DIY Minivan Camper Tent:
1. This well-designed layout gives you lots of sleeping area for your family while still allowing you access to the back of your car. Plus, you get more security, convenience and comfort than with a traditional freestanding camping tent.
2. One side of the tent lays over the open hatchback of your vehicle. Therefore, you don’t have to unpack everything, yet you have easy access to it.
Note: Napier’s Backroadz tailgate tent has a universal sleeve that allows it to fit all minivans, crossover vehicles and SUVs. (ie. Honda Element, Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, Dodge Caravan.) You can adjust the opening size to create a snug seal to keep water, wind and bugs out.
3. You can also connect to the car’s power outlets to charge electronic devices, lanterns, etc.. Plus, there’s no need to climb out of your tent at night to grab something in your car that you forgot.
4. Combining the space in your minivan or SUV with your tent instantly expands the space of both. In other words, your tent will feel more spacious without you having to buy a bigger size. Like turning your minivan into a tent house.
SUV/Minivan Tent Feels Like a Cozy Outdoor Home:
The tent itself has extra-large mesh windows, so you can enjoy the outdoor view from all sides. Comfortably keep the bugs and critters out while still allowing plenty of ventilation when you want it.
Alternatively, you can zip the window and door covers on for more shade, weather protection and privacy at night. The tent also comes with a rainfly, which creates a convenient awning over the front door of the tent.
The Backroadz acts as an extension of your SUV or minivan in that it fits snugly around your vehicle to keep out weather, critters and dirt. In addition, the sewn-in floor helps keep your tent clean, dry and homey. Just remember to take your shoes off at the door.
Car Tent Alternatives to the Minivan Hatch Tent:
Now, if you don’t want to sleep on the ground or want a more cushy camping set-up, you may like a car camping tent trailer. Although this pop-up tent doesn’t actually attach to your vehicle, the trailer is small enough to to with a minivan. Plus, it comes with a convenient built-in table and sleeping mattresses for extra comfort.
The tent conversion takes longer and requires more work. However, the living space offers more of a “glamping” experience.
Alternatively, you can attach a rooftop tent to the top of your vehicle (as long as you have a roof rack to support it). In animal-prone locations, you get the safety of being elevated off the ground, but you have to climb up to your tent.
