Rear tent – Are you ready for your next camping vacation but still don’t know which tent to choose?
For those who like to be spontaneous, need lots of space when camping and don’t want to put a lot of time and effort into setting up, a rear tent is just the thing!
Nowadays, you no longer want to have just a small tent with the most necessary equipment on the campsite.
Instead, you also want a comfortable, large sleeping area with a camping kitchen and extensive outdoor equipment.
A rear tent is the perfect alternative to a camper or addition to your car with a roof tent or tent trailer so that you don’t have to fork out huge amounts of money.

Rear tent: lots of space on a small budget
The rear tent is available in different versions and variants.
Either way, the tent takes up very little space and is therefore particularly advantageous in very tight spaces.
Nevertheless, the tent provides enough storage space for all your camping gear, outdoor equipment, bicycles and the like, and is also an ideal place to shelter in bad weather.
You can therefore use it as additional storage space in addition to your motorhome, or even set up your mattress and create a sleeping area.
Either way, the rear tent is a practical travel companion in all respects and the perfect solution for having more space than in a conventional tent, but not necessarily having to pay much more for it.
Advantages of a rear tent
- Quick and easy assembly without additional tools
- Takes up very little floor space
- Enough storage space for outdoor equipment, gear and co.
- Inexpensive to purchase

Almost every experienced camper equips themselves with tent extensions at the start of their trip – and for one simple reason: they are super useful and get the best out of your 10sqm motorhome.
More covered space, privacy and protection from all weather conditions give you the opportunity to create additional rooms.

Awning: More space when camping
Additional space on the campsite is not only recommended in the form of a rear tent, but also with an awning!
This not only offers protection from the sun and prying eyes, but also means you don’t have to spend your time in a caravan, camper or tent.
In an awning, you can relax in the evening with your loved ones, prepare a warm meal and play board games late at night without having to worry about the rain. Read more here:
Awnings: Protection on the campsite
As it can get very warm on the campsite, a fixed awning is also a good idea so that the sun doesn’t dazzle, at least when eating and sitting together.
However, the robust protection can usually also keep out rain and wind and also serves as a privacy screen if you want some privacy.
This multifunctional travel companion should definitely be part of your next camping trip!
