Life on the road can have its perks but choosing the correct bits of kit will go a long way to making
your adventures that little bit more comfortable and exciting. One of the biggest factors to consider
when embarking on the adventure of a life time in the form of a trip around Australia, is how exactly
you are going to sleep at each stop. When you’ve got plans to sometimes roll into a camp site late
and leave early, the last thing you want to do is spend extra time setting up and packing down just
so you can have a comfortable sleep. With comfort in mind, you have a few different options, but
each of them will take different time frames and amounts of effort to get organised each time.
Other factors that may take part in helping you choose how to spend your nights are whether or not
you want to be towing something behind, if so then a camper trailer or caravan is definitely an
option that could solve all of your problems. However, towing is not for everyone, and this can
because of many reasons including driving ability, correct vehicle or just plain not wanting to go
about your expedition in this manner. Another option on the table could be setting up a bed in the
back of your vehicle, which a lot of long-term campers are happy to do to save the costs and keep
everything in as little space as possible, while exploring from one border to the next. If this is still not
your cup of tea, then another consideration could be a roof top tent to keep you comfortable at
night. Again, this is something that isn’t for everyone and may be ripped off the decision table due to
lack of ability to attach to your vehicle, too complex for setting up or packing down, or maybe even
an injury or fear of heights which may not enable you to make your way on to the top of your rig
each night.
One offer that is still on the table, is an awning tent. Most camping vehicles at least have an side awning
which can be rolled out at any stage and used as a bit of shelter whenever and wherever you decide
to park up. This offers great usability and quick time frames when it comes to organising your camp
site. But what if I told you that an canvas awning tent was a thing? Well look no further, because we have
an array of different sized awning sleepers to fit just about any vehicle you could imagine and can
help to keep you comfortable without taking up valuable space and time.
An Adventure Kings Awning Tent is an all in one, fully enclosed awning which basically pops out from
the side or rear of your vehicle and quickly becomes a weatherproof room for you to enjoy your
nights anywhere you decide to camp. Benefits of this camping style are that you no longer have to
take up extra space when setting up your camp site as it will be connected to your vehicle and can
be used just about anywhere your vehicle can go. This is a great option because a lot of remote
campsites may be tighter areas or even busy areas which may not leave you a lot of room to move if
you happen to arrive at the popular time and date when it is already borderline full. A fold out
side awning tent will be your new best friend making it super easy to contain your camping gear and
keep it safe from the elements.
Whether using this awning room as a form of sleeping den, or simply for some extra space to keep
things out of the weather, or maybe even to keep your pooch contained after dark, there will be a
size and option to suit any camper and their individual requirements. These easily convertible

awning shelters will help you to level up your camp site and give you a safe area to lay your head for
a rest either overnight, or even just for a quick kip during a long day of driving. By simply turning
your awning into a fully sheltered room you will now have a fully incorporated weatherproof floor,
roof, and walls, with the added bonus of midge-proof mesh keeping out all of those unwanted
guests and leaving you with your comfort no matter how bad the fly season may be.
The beauty of these camping shelters is that you have the option of all out privacy with full canvas
outer flaps covering your mesh windows and doors, or you could roll the outers up and tie them
back to allow a bit of extra airflow into your camp space. Not only does this make it super user
friendly with a plethora of options, but you can also have full access to your vehicle via the doors in
which you have the awning extended above, without having to deconstruct anything to get there.
This means that you can still easily grab things from inside your rig without having to exit your tent
and use an alternative door. This makes for a private little ensuite area when it comes to getting
changed or freshening up in the early morning for those times that the world isn’t ready to see your
morning hairstyle or your comfortable yet questionable choice of pyjamas.
With a range of sizes right up to 2m x 3m or 2.5m x 2.5 of space, these perfect little zippered add-
ons for your already attached awning make for the perfect camping bargain. Simply add this to your
kit and you’ll never worry about where to go camping, because your vehicle will have everything you
need, ready to roll out at the same time as you are. Easy to install and easy to use, weatherproofing
and bug proofing your campsite while creating an extra sleeping space at the same time has never
been easier.
