Have you ever thought about sleeping on the roof of your car?

Yes, Expedition 4×1 will make the car a real home, going to sleep on the top of it! And for our joy, we have managed to close a deal with the best manufacturer of automotive tents, the Camping’s World! Several travelers and adventurers, and the recommended, after knowing the production unit and the product quality, we had no doubt about buying those tents! I say the tents in the plural because, as we are in 5, we will have two of them (installed on top of the cabin and another on the roof over the bucket). Moreover, the picture above shows the moment close partnership with the Douglas, from Camping’s World!

Well, but what is a tent automotive??

Yes, before we started planning the trip also had never heard of them! The photo below shows a sample, which is ready to provide a good night asleep.

Today, after a lot of research, we know they are ideal for our needs by 5 main reasons:

1) They do not occupy space in the trunk, that are already installed on the roof rack of the car;

2) They are very practical, taking only 1 minute to be mounted and 5 for breaking;

3) They'll give us a lot of mobility and autonomy, once remote places often have no camping or hostel / guesthouse;

4) Allow a more constant and direct contact with nature;

5) They provide significant savings on accommodation during the trip.

Well, besides all of that, they are extremely comfortable and durable! To get an idea, inside there is a high density mattress and pillows (they are embedded, and need not be removed) and she still has telescopic ladder up to 2.20 m, mosquito net, totally waterproof fabric and a balcony!! All these elements make you believe that transported your bed up your car!! You can definately relax.

One curiosity is that, to have a tent automotive is not necessary to have a super car ready for shipment…they are an option for any vehicle, since the only prerequisite is a roof rack (since they are very light)!

To illustrate the use of Camping's World automotive tent, below is a video that demonstrates its installation:

We were very happy with the support that Camping's World has given us and we are eager to install our two tents as soon as posible.!!

Moreover, this weekend / holiday will attend the Third Camping’s World Meeting, to be held in the Serra da Canastra (MG) , together with more than 100 adventurers!! We can not wait to embark on our first expedition!!
