Your home in the boot: TOP 5 products for car trips to nature

The tent of the Norfin trademark is primarily notable for the presence of a semi-automatic frame. Fibreglass arcs are initially sewn into the fabric of the awning, and the assembly principle itself is similar to the opening of a conventional umbrella.

Such a quick installation system will help save time. Plus, it will be possible to set up camp with Norfin Zander 4 even alone, and without having any tourist skills.

The tent belongs to 4-bed camping solutions. The size of the recreation area by gender compares 255 by 210 cm, respectively, one tourist will have a little more than the standard 60 cm in width. Families with two or one children and couples will be even more comfortable in such a bedroom. In recent scenarios, it is also possible to place a large inflatable mattress for relaxation here.

The bedroom, if necessary, is detached from the main frame, so the Norfin Zander 4 turns into a camping dining room or a play area for a large company.

The polyester awning of the model is sealed with a waterproof tape, due to which it is characterized by moderate water protection (up to 3000 mm of water column). It will withstand not only drizzling rain, but also moderate precipitation of short or medium duration. Even better, the dense bottom is ready for bad weather: its water resistance reaches 6000 mm, plus there is a skirt that provides additional protection from wind and getting wet around the perimeter.

The tent weighs 8 kg, and this is quite acceptable for solutions with a quick installation system. Previously, it is necessary to take into account the rather long length in the case (105 cm), which refers to the shortcomings of the model.

The tent provides a single entrance and one fairly spacious vestibule with a removable floor. The ceiling height here reaches 185 cm, that is, most tourists will be able to stand tall and not bend over. There are also a couple of observation windows responsible for natural lighting. Among other details, it is worth highlighting the traditional mosquito net and internal pockets.

Norfin Zander 4 is an interesting choice for novice tourists and all those who are focused on a more comfortable outdoor recreation.

The Deuter sleeping blanket is positioned as a universal camping solution. It is suitable for men and women of different heights (optimally from 165 to 200 cm). And a removable headrest will provide greater flexibility in operation, which, if necessary, will serve as a foot cushion or a separate pillow.

The width of the sleeping place of 80 cm will suit users of average build. It also has a positive effect on the weight (moderate 1.33 kg) and dimensions of the Deuter Orbit SQ +5. So, in the complete case, the dimensions of the model are 37x19x19 cm, that is, about 13 liters, which is comparable to cocoon sleeping bags.

The sleeping bag is designed for the off-season. Thanks to the Hollowfibre synthetic insulation, a carefree sleep is possible when the thermometer drops to 10 °C (for women) or even to 5 °C (for men). Similar temperatures at night occur not only in autumn and spring, but also in summer. Accordingly, the model can be recommended for three seasons.

Thanks to the presence of a double zipper, the Deuter Orbit SQ +5 is easy to completely unbutton and use as an ordinary blanket for two.

The outside of the sleeping bag is covered with polyester fabric, and the role of lining is performed by natural cotton. The traditional advantages of Deuter products include high quality of cut and fittings, resistance of fabrics to mechanical influences and overall durability. And this model also stands out for its environmental friendliness. The sleeping bag has been marked PFC Free, that is, there are no fluorinated chemicals harmful to the environment in its composition.

The usual details of the equipment of the model include the possibility of fastening, protection from biting the zipper, the presence of an internal pocket for small things.

Deuter Orbit SQ +5 is a well—balanced sleeping bag from a proven manufacturer in terms of quality, price and comfort.

The Dometic Waeco thermobox is a plastic container with a useful volume of 22 liters. It should be enough for a small family for a picnic, a weekend outing or a short camping trip. There will fit meat for a barbecue, a good supply of soft drinks, fish caught in a pond, etc.

The model is not heavy (4.2 kg) and not bulky (37x39x31 cm), so frequent movements will not cause much trouble. Plus, this scenario is taken into account in the design itself: the handles are supplemented with a shoulder strap.

In addition to the Dometic Waeco WCI-22, there is a more compact 13-liter modification on the market — WCI-13 (suitable for one-day business trips), and models of impressive volume, up to 110 liters at WCI-110 (for long parking in nature).

Dense foam material is responsible for keeping the cold here. According to the manufacturer, the thermal box has a labyrinth seal Design designed to improve thermal insulation. The maximum period of cold preservation is 10 days (240 hours). In summer, it is hardly worth counting on such figures, but, according to reviews, indicators in the region of 120 hours at an air temperature of around 23 °C are quite achievable.

The additional features of the box include the seamless manufacturing technology of the inner chamber. This has a positive effect not only on thermal insulation, but also on mechanical strength, as well as ease of care.

The disadvantages include the high cost. For similar money, you can also take comparable primary-class car coolers in volume. But if high reliability and extreme ease of operation are a priority, then Dometic Waeco WCI-22 is an excellent option for keeping the cold away from sockets (and even cigarette lighters).

The gas-powered tourist stove of the Kovea brand is made in copper-black colours. On the right is an opening compartment for a collet cylinder of 220 grams. The burner is complemented by a base with a stand for dishes. It can be easily removed, for example, for cleaning from dirt.

For storage and transportation, the Kovea KGR-3500 package includes a case, or rather a dense plastic case with a handle.

The power of the stove is 2900 watts, thanks to which it is able to boil water quickly enough (it takes an average of 4.5 – 5 minutes per liter of water), cook or reheat different foods. The intensity of operation of the device is conveniently adjusted by means of a rotary switch. It is also supplemented with piezo ignition, that is, you will not have to use matches or other sources of fire.

The owners note that despite the relatively small size (33x23x9 cm) and the weight (less than 1.5 kg) of the stove, there is a very large cookware, up to 5 liter pots, standing confidently here.

High power causes an appropriate fuel consumption (200 g / h), but one standard cylinder is still enough for about an hour of work. In operation, the device performs well under different weather conditions: does not overheat in the heat, regularly "works" in the cold. And in case of downtime, the cylinder is easily disconnected from the system with a single tap, which minimizes the risk of gas leakage.

Consider purchasing the Kovea KGR-3500 for tourist purposes, fishing and/or hunting, as well as use in the country.

Thanks to the velvety flocked coating resembling velour, the inflatable mattress of the specialized manufacturer Intex belongs to the cohort of models for recreation (and not for swimming). The flock will not allow bed linen to slip off, is easy to clean and pleasant to the touch.

It is recommended to use Intex 64755 when going out into nature or if it is necessary to organize additional sleeping places in an apartment or in the country.

The mattress uses a Fibre-Tech longitudinal partition system. They consist of numerous polyester fibers, which, according to the manufacturer, differ favorably from PVC stiffeners used, for example, inIntex 68755. They keep their shape better, are not subject to deformation, and are more durable. Accordingly, the rest should be more comfortable.

The mattress is positioned as a double, but the large dimensions in width (183 cm) allow you to accommodate three people here. At least two adults of average build and a child will definitely not be cramped here. Confirms the readiness to withstand three people and the maximum permissible load of 273 kg.

In the deflated form, the product is not too bulky (the dimensions in the package are 12x33x37 cm) and has a moderate weight (4.7 kg). A self-adhesive patch is included with the mattress, which will help eliminate a single puncture. But there is no pump in the basic configuration: the manufacturer recommends using only branded mechanical or electrical models.

Intex 64755 is an excellent choice for camping tourism, a more comfortable alternative to classic karemats and inflatable tourist mats.
