Tent trailer: Extended living and sleeping area
If you have decided to go on your next camping trip with a tent trailer, also known as a folding caravan, you are guaranteed a carefree time!
While the tent trailer is folded up on the trailer behind your car when you’re on the road, it creates an amazingly large living space when unfolded.
The whole thing can be set up in a matter of minutes and you can use the extra space as you wish.
Especially if you’re traveling with the whole family, the additional space provided by a roof tent won’t hurt, so that you can all enjoy a relaxed, flexible and carefree camping vacation together.
Whether you’re only away for a few days or several weeks, a folding caravan is definitely worth it to make the most of your time in the great outdoors. 
Advantages of a tent trailer
The tent trailer not only impresses with its versatile equipment, easy handling and unbeatable price, but also with its large area, which can be used for sleeping, for relaxed get-togethers, for cooking or as storage space.
If that’s not enough, you can extend the whole thing with an additional extension tent.
A tent trailer offers you these highlights:
- Additional utility room or bedroom
- Versatile equipment
- Quick and uncomplicated assembly
- Takes up no space when folded
- Pleasant and cozy comfort
In the tent trailer, you have enough space to feel completely at ease – whatever the weather! 
Instructions: Assembly in just a few steps
The trailer, including tent, must be attached to the rear of the car’s towbar and is therefore already with you on the road.
If necessary, you can make short stops or take breaks at the campsite and simply unfold the tent trailer with a flick of the wrist.
The tent is already in the correct position on the trailer at the start and only needs to be brought into the final, erected position.
Finally, fix the sides to the ground with pegs so that the tent does not slip or fly away and your extended sleeping or living area is ready to be used as you wish. This is how you set it up:
- Park at the desired location and disconnect the tent from the trailer coupling
- Loosen the loops and unfold the tent completely
- Fasten sides to the ground with pegs
- Fix the entrance area with poles

Need even more space?
No problem!
Depending on whether you are only traveling with your partner or with the whole family, you can also use your tent trailer in addition to a roof tent and thus have enough space for every family member.
For short stays, it is usually enough to just quickly fold up the main tent.
Especially if you are staying in one place for a longer period of time, an additional covered living area with an extension tent is super practical.
This gives you enough space to cook with the camping kitchen, play games together or relax in a camping lounger or comfortable camping chair.
Depending on the weather, you can, for example, use only the canopy as sun protection on sunny days or put up the individual side walls on cold days.
Practical for any time of year!
Advantages of an additional extension tent:
- Extended living space on the campsite
- Can be used for cooking, washing and relaxing
- Additional storage space
- Usable depending on weather conditions
Use your grow tent for cooking, as storage space or for a cozy get-together!

What else do I need at the campsite?
In order to be as well prepared and equipped as possible, you can also find a helpful and detailed packing list for your camping vacation here.
You can read more suggestions and tips for a carefree time at the campsite in the following articles:
Awning: 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.
Read everything you need to know about the various awnings here:
Awning: More space when camping
You can also get additional living space on the campsite with a separate awning.
This provides protection from the sun and prying eyes and also means you don’t have to spend your time in the roof tent or folding caravan.
In an awning, you can relax at the end of the evening or prepare a warm meal.
