Transport box: Aluminum or plastic for camping – waterproof, robust & plenty of space

Camping boxes – Whether with a roof tent or camper – a lot of outdoor equipment can come together on a vacation in the great outdoors.
From tents, mattresses and sleeping bags to camping furniture and crockery, there’s a lot to think about when camping.
This takes up a lot of space, which not only creates a mess, but also makes it easy to lose track of your luggage.
Camping boxes are a great way to avoid this, and you should definitely buy one for your next camping trip.

Camping: order is the be-all and end-all

Even the most essential items such as an awning, camping table and chair take up a lot of space in the car.
But that’s not all!
Only when everything is stowed away do you realize how much equipment and odds and ends you actually need for camping.
From cooking utensils, pots, cutlery and a durable food supply to appropriate outdoor clothing, emergency kits and important documents, you need to pack a lot to be able to enjoy a carefree and relaxed vacation.
However, you should also know what you have actually packed and where it is.
This is no problem with sturdy camping boxes.
If you’re wondering what you actually need for your camping vacation, you can find a helpful packing list here.
Alternatively, you can browse for other products in the storage and organization category here.

Aluminum boxes: Sturdy, with lid & stackable

There are different variants that are more suitable depending on the travel route and space.
The most stable variant is an aluminum box made of lightweight metal.
These are available in different sizes, each offering plenty of space for equipment and outdoor gear.
They can also usually be closed so that several boxes can even be stacked on top of each other, allowing you to arrange them neatly and save even more space.
The robust boxes are hard-wearing and splash-proof, so they can also be used as outdoor seating, for example, making them not only practical but also multifunctional.

Advantages of aluminum boxes

  • Different sizes
  • Plenty of space for the necessary outdoor equipment
  • Stable and robust
  • Lockable and splash-proof
  • Multifunctional (seating)

Plastic boxes: Waterproof version

If you are planning a longer trip lasting several weeks, you will usually not only be taking the most necessary equipment with you, but also electronic devices such as a laptop and camera.
As there is additional equipment that needs to be transported, more camping boxes are needed to keep everything organized.
Plastic boxes are more stable than you might initially think!
They are robust, impact-resistant, waterproof and airtight and sometimes even have a foam lining on the inside.
This makes them ideal for sensitive luggage and ensures that your important travel items are transported safely.

Advantages of plastic boxes

  • Stable and robust
  • Impact-resistant and durable
  • Watertight and airtight
  • Foam lining on the inside
  • Suitable for delicate objects

Reading tips! Basic equipment for the campsite

If you’re interested in camping and your next vacation may be coming up soon, you can read more articles here or go straight to the search for more camping furniture for your vacation.
Not only transport boxes are practical for keeping things tidy, but suitable camping lockers are also recommended, especially for longer outdoor vacations.

Camping locker: Keeping things tidy when camping

When camping in a roof tent in a confined space, things can get a little unstructured and messy.
Although transport boxes are practical for the basic equipment, a suitable camping locker is also a good idea so that you can quickly find the little things again and nothing is lying around in the way.
Camping lockers are therefore a practical and, above all, space-saving alternative for a camping trip with friends or the whole family. Read more here:

Camping chair: stool, chair or armchair

When camping, it should of course be as comfortable, easy and quick as possible.
Whether in a motorhome, caravan or car – you spend most of your time in the great outdoors and mainly in front of your vehicle or tent.
Camping chairs are therefore a must-have item for every trip.
Whether you want to sit together comfortably, eat together or simply switch off – the camping chair guarantees you an extra portion of relaxation on your vacation.

Camping lounger, hammock & camp bed

What could be nicer than relaxing at the campsite in the evening, reading a book or simply gazing at the starry sky?
Of course, you can also sit on a chair or on the ground, but the best place to lie is on a camping lounger.
A camping lounger is also ideal for sleeping in the open air or in a classic tent to enjoy a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.
Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a trip lasting several weeks – a camping cot is a must-have companion for a carefree and unforgettable vacation.

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.
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.
