This tent looks great, but you’ll never believe how easy it is to set up. With a central valve that allows for rapid inflation, your shelter will be ready in minutes. This ease of use is particularly beneficial for those who want to spend less time “building character” with traditional tent poles.

The Porsche Canopy Tent is designed with versatility in mind. It has a modular system that will let you connect multiple tents, so you’re not limited to just one. This is great for group camping or if you just want a little extra space to stretch your legs. Whether you’re looking to set up separate sleeping quarters, a dining area, or a lounge, the tent’s expandable layout can accommodate your needs.

Comfort is a key focus of the Porsche Canopy Tent. The shelter is equipped with storm-resistant fastenings, ensuring stability even in challenging weather conditions. Inside, the tent offers ample space for lounging, while features like transparent windowed panels with integrated privacy screens allow for an airy, open feel without compromising on privacy.

The Porsche Canopy Tent is specifically designed to connect seamlessly with certain Porsche models, such as the Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera, through a custom vehicle connection tunnel. This tunnel is tailored to fit these specific vehicles, ensuring a tight and secure attachment.

Using the tent with non-Porsche vehicles might be challenging. The custom fit of the connection tunnel may not align perfectly with other vehicle models, which could potentially lead to issues with stability, sealing, or even attachment. While it’s theoretically possible to use the canopy tent as a stand-alone shelter without connecting it to a vehicle, the key feature of connecting it directly to a car would likely not work as intended with non-Porsche models.

For those who seek the perfect blend of luxury and adventure, the Porsche Canopy Tent is a great option. By combining quick setup, modular versatility, and high-end design, Porsche has created a product that is sure to appeal to old and new adventurers alike. With the Porsche Canopy Tent, your next camping trip could be less about roughing it and more about experiencing the great outdoors.

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

Razor-thin Mars Aeroblade claims to be the “world’s slimmest rooftop tent”
The sleek, 3.5-inch-tall profile is purpose-built to minimize drag and maximize fuel efficiency for your rig
Mars' Aeroblade rooftop tent mounted atop a 2-door SUV parked near the ocean.

Modern rooftop tents have revolutionized overlanding and car camping. But, their bulk and overall size have left many sedan and midsized SUV owners out of luck. Mars AG wants to remedy that with its all-new Aeroblade, the self-described "world's slimmest rooftop tent."

Weighing just over 100 pounds, Mars Adventure Gear's Aeroblade isn't the lightest rooftop tent on the market (although it's still considerably lighter than most typical RTTs). Its most significant selling point is instead its razor-thin profile. At just 3.5 inches tall when folded, it could very well be the world's slimmest hard-shell rooftop tent available today.
