Rooftop tent camping: your contribution to a greener world
Camping is a sustainable way to travel.
Camping with a roof tent is particularly sustainable.
And with our little tips, you can travel even more sustainably!
First of all, a rooftop tent is generally more environmentally friendly than a motorhome, for example, as your car generally requires less fuel.
In addition, you don’t take up any ground space, leave fewer traces in nature and thus protect sensitive ecosystems.
You can enjoy the beauty of nature without damaging it.
Pay attention to sustainable materials, act respectfully towards the environment and, in the best case, even use renewable energy to minimize your ecological footprint.
Not only will you have an eventful and unforgettable time, but you will also make an important contribution to protecting our environment! You should pay attention to this in order to camp as sustainably as possible:
Sustainable materials and durability
When buying your roof tent, look for sustainable, weatherproof and high-quality materials.
Many manufacturers now use environmentally friendly fabrics and recyclable materials that are less harmful to the environment.
Find out about the quality before you buy so that you can purchase a high-quality roof tent and use it for several years.
Take a look at the roof tents from Campwerk here in the store: You should pay attention to this when choosing a roof tent:
- High-quality materials
- Robust, stable and weatherproof
- Ideally environmentally friendly fabrics
Responsible use of resources
When camping with a roof tent, it is important to use resources responsibly.
Save water by only using it when it is really necessary.
Avoid disposable plastic crockery and cutlery and use reusable utensils instead.
Also avoid plastic when camping.
Not only does it endanger the surrounding wildlife, but it’s also unnecessary.
Instead of plastic, you can use plastic-free alternatives that are not only environmentally friendly, but also practical and versatile.
- Preserving jars instead of plastic containers
- Wooden crates for heavy camping items
- Beeswax cloths for food packaging
- Biodegradable products in metal cans
Be sure to use reusable crockery – and then store everything in the practical Aioks camping kitchen to save space! 
Respect nature and wildlife
While enjoying the freedom of the rooftop tent, always be respectful of nature and wildlife.
Keep your distance from wild animals, protect plants and trees and avoid loud noises that could disturb wildlife.
Also dispose of your garbage properly and do not leave any waste in the wild.
Your sustainable camping adventure should not be at the expense of the environment.
You should always remember that:
- Be respectful of nature and wildlife
- Avoid loud noises
- Don’t leave any garbage behind
Electricity from renewable energies
If you use electronic devices such as lamps or chargers to make your stay more comfortable, ideally use renewable energy sources.
If you are camping for a longer period of time, carry solar panels with you to generate electricity from solar energy.
This way, you can charge your electronic devices without having to resort to environmentally harmful energy sources.
There are now even roof tents on which solar panels can be installed.
This is the case with the BDV roof tent, for example!
This is a fair and absolutely sustainable product, it is made from organic cotton and recycled poly fabric and is made for discovering every remote place on earth – a real must-have for eco-loving campers!
This is how you camp sustainably:
- Ideally use renewable energy sources
- Take solar modules for electricity from solar energy with you
- Look for a sustainable roof tent with solar panel
