Simply put, SUV tents allow you to convert your vehicle into an extended camper without
breaking the bank, making them a great option for regular campers and road-tripping enthusiasts.
Simply attach it to your SUV and you're ready to spend the night under the stars.
Furthermore, most SUV tents are multipurpose, meaning they can be
used as standalone units or as a trunk tent when connected to your cargo area.
They give you a lot of flexibility because you can go between your car and the tent.
It also doubles the amount of room in your car until it's
attached. It can be used to house extra people or store equipment.
When camping, an SUV tent is an additional option;
you can always switch into your car if it gets too cold or uncomfortable at night!
If you're in the market for an SUV tent, our list is still a good place to start. We've
included a few buying tips and tricks at the end.
Now let’s get to our list.
Number 1. Napier Backroadz SUV Tent
The Napier Backroadz SUV Tent is a roomy model with a 10 x
10 area that can comfortably accommodate up to five people.
Furthermore, its universal sleeve means that it will match perfectly on any SUV,
minivan, or hatchback. If your SUV has a hatchback, it will work. It's that easy!
The sleeve straps securely to the cargo storage area in the vehicle,
providing additional protection from the weather and extra storage space.
Furthermore, this tent allows for smooth transitions between the car and the tent,
allowing you to switch to the car when it gets cold or a downpour surprises you.
On the plus side, this setup helps you to control electric small appliances and
electronics from inside the tent using the car's power outlets. On the other hand, you'll need
to carry very long power cords unless your car has dedicated power outlets in the cargo area.
The best option is to carry a power inverter that you can plug into the front 12-volt
power outlet and then position near the tent area to plug your appliances into.
For easy ventilation, the tent comes with three mesh windows and a door.
The windows also have built-in storm flaps and a rainfly to keep you dry during storms.
Thanks to the fiberglass tent poles, erecting the tent is a breeze.
This tent is suitable for a weekend at the state park or on a cross-country trail.

making it a great choice for any camper.
