How to Beat the Heat in a Tent or Camper: Expert Tips
Original source: noz.de

In Brief

Experts share tips to avoid overheating in tents and campers: heat-reflective mats, ventilation hatches, light-colored bodies, and proper airflow.

Experts have shared advice on avoiding overheating in a tent or camper during summer. For tents, they recommend choosing models made of a cotton-polyester blend, using USB fans and silk liners. For campers, they suggest heat-reflective mats for the windshield, ventilation hatches, and air conditioning, as well as parking in the shade.

Dominik Firneisel, an expert from the magazine "Promobil", recommends using aluminized thermal mats on the outside, fan hatches, and air conditioning, as well as choosing a white body color. Ventilating through all doors and hatches is described as an effective way to lower the temperature.

Air conditioning for the living area is recommended only for those sensitive to heat, but it should not be used while driving due to noise and energy consumption.

German manufacturer Strada will present the new Avanti R camper based on the Fiat Ducato, measuring 6.36 m, at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. Instead of a traditional fixed bed, the model features a spacious U-shaped rear lounge and an electric drop-down bed measuring 202 x 192 cm. The base version is powered by a 140 hp diesel engine with automatic transmission and includes GSRII safety systems. The kitchen is equipped with a 150-liter compressor refrigerator, with an induction hob available as an option.

German overlanding specialist Travelboxx has introduced the Quest, a versatile towable that can serve as a large travel trailer, a toy hauler, or a tiny house. The Quest features a detachable body that can be removed from its chassis and set on stabilizing legs, allowing it to be used as stationary accommodation. Standard spec includes three layout options, sleeping for four, a kitchen with an induction cooktop, and a wet bathroom. Prices start at €45,000.

At the Caravan Salon in Hanover, Bruder presented its new flagship off-road caravan ADX-21. The model combines military-grade technology (patented independent suspension with air springs, 12 inches of travel) with boutique-hotel interior: leather upholstery, herringbone parquet, panoramic windows. Price starts at €185,000. European importer is Camp Impuls from Karlsruhe (booth B60, hall 16).

At the Caravan Salon, Dethleffs presented the C.Core concept vehicle, which is not a preview of a production model but a test platform. It features lightweight materials (Necto, recycled PET), modular furniture, a deployable solar panel with up to 600 W output, a closed-loop water system with filtration, and a projector instead of a TV. Dethleffs says the system can operate largely autonomously from May to September under favorable conditions.
