And now directly to the Jeep off-road models, for real camping adventures.

Jeep Offroad: Camping with Jeep

Jeep off-road vehicles have been taking you almost everywhere since 1941. Into the jungle, the desert or on country roads. Almost all Jeep models are suitable for off-road excursions and impress with their off-road qualities in terms of both design and equipment. It is not without reason that the off-road vehicle brand advertises with the slogan “Only a Jeep from Jeep is a real Jeep.” The most popular off-road models are, for example, the Jeep Wrangler, the original Jeep, and the Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee as a larger luxury version.

Jeep Wrangler: off-road legend as Sport, Sahara & Rubicon

The Jeep Wrangler is the original Jeep par excellence.
With its angular bodywork and rustic image, the model appeals to adventure lovers in every respect.
No other car brings so much history and tradition to the roads.
With its 4.22 m length, the Wrangler is certainly not a handy off-road vehicle, but it impresses with very good off-road characteristics, all-wheel drive, 5-speed automatic transmission and a high trailer load.
With modern assistance systems such as cruise control and hill start and hill descent control, Jeep makes the driving experience easier for its drivers and turns every off-road adventure into a very special one.

  • Power: 146 kW / 199 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 10.6 s
  • Top speed:172 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 11.9 l/100km
The Jeep Wrangler was and still is an off-road legend.
Over time, the model became more comfortable and therefore more suitable for everyday use.
Watch the video to find out why the Wrangler is still one of the most popular off-road vehicles today.

Jeep Grand Cherokee: Luxury off-roader with comfort

The Jeep Grand Cherokee, first established on the market in 1933, is the extension of the sturdy Jeep Cherokee and is considered the largest and most expensive model in the Jeep range.
At just under 5 m in length, the car is rather unwieldy for road use.
It also has high fuel consumption due to its high power output of 286 hp.
The Grand Cherokee scores points with its excellent standard equipment, which includes seven airbags, cruise control and four-wheel drive.
An almost perfect car for off-road driving.
Thanks to the spacious interior and large trunk, nothing stands in the way of a camping adventure.

  • 0 – 100 km/h: 9.1 s
  • Top speed: 206 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 11.4 l/100km

Even though the Grand Cherokee is a luxury SUV, it impresses with its off-road characteristics and good equipment.
Plenty of space, a high level of safety, modern design and great equipment make the Grand Cherokee a popular luxury SUV with plenty of comfort.
See for yourself in the video what the SUV has to offer.

Best-selling models: Cherokee, Compass, Renegate

The best-selling Jeep models include the Jeep Cherokee, Compass and Renegate.
What all three have in common is that they are convincing both as everyday vehicles and off-road.
As off-roaders, they score highly in their classes and are popular vehicles on both the American and European markets.

Jeep Cherokee: mid-range off-roader

As a classic among American SUVs, the Jeep Cherokee offers a range of attractive equipment and features that are even impressive off-road.
The 4.62 m long model weighs almost 1.8 tons and offers a large interior and trunk with enough storage space for an adventure.
As the most popular Jeep model, the Cherokee also shines with off-road characteristics.
It can climb slopes of up to 60 percent and negotiate inclines of up to 45 percent.
Despite this, its robust appearance and aerodynamic body offer a certain level of comfort.
The off-roader with high seat is therefore a perfect model for a camping trip with a roof tent.

  • Power: 200 kW / 272 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 7.3 s
  • Top speed: 206 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 9.3 l/100km

Watch the video to see the solid off-road equipment, the good amount of space and the numerous other classic Cherokee qualities.

Jeep Compass: off-road vehicle in the compact class

In Europe, the Jeep Compass is the most important model for the off-road vehicle brand.
As an alternative to cars such as the VW Tiguan, Kia Sportage or Mazda CX-5, it is particularly convincing in the compact class.
The Cherokee’s little brother boasts a fresh design, modern infotainment equipment and unrivaled off-road capability.
The spaciousness, handling and assistance systems are of a higher average standard.

  • Power: 96 kW / 130 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 10.3 s
  • Top speed: 192 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 6.1 l/100km

Here you can see once again the features of the Jeep Compass and why this model is also suitable for a camping trip with a trailer or roof tent.

Jeep Renegade: Urban crossover

The smallest model of the American off-road vehicle brand is based on the design of the Jeep Wrangler, but cannot keep up with its off-road characteristics.
Although the robust off-roader is reminiscent of a military Jeep in terms of appearance, it cannot withstand heavy off-road terrain.
The urban crossover is available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive in the most powerful version and, like the Compass, offers a good amount of space.
With its driving characteristics, the SUV is a road vehicle that can occasionally drive off-road and is therefore well suited for camping.

  • Power: 88 kW / 120 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 11.2 s
  • Top speed: 185 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 6.1 l/100km

The Jeep Renegate is just right for those who need an everyday vehicle that is suitable for an off-road excursion.
Its nostalgic off-road design and comfort make for a comfortable camping adventure.
See for yourself in the video.

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.

  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.

  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
