Traveling by car is an amazing way to see new places, control your own schedule, and savor the freedom to be your own pilot. With the Carsule: Pop-Up Cabin for Your Car, you can turn your automobile into a comfortable pop-up tent.

With this awesome bit of travel gear, you can enjoy the great outdoors in total comfort.

Ultimate car camping hack

Unlike a tent that’s meant just for sleeping, Carsule does more than serve as a place for you to catch a few ZZZs. It also works as an outdoor living room. The cubic shape of the tent allows you to stand up comfortably for a wide range of indoor activities. It’s perfect for everything from reading and remote work to practicing yoga.

A Kickstarter success story (with $17,700 in funding), the Carsule is designed for cars with a hatchback that swings up. It attaches to the upraised door, and greatly expands the size of your car. You’re not limited by your car size, and you can use the expandable space for unlimited configurations, dependent on what your needs are.

And thanks to Carsule’s guy rope, your home on the road can also withstand installation in poor weather and strong breezes. The diagonal ceiling tension lines prevent shear deformation and also double as a means to hang things from the ceiling, like lights or clothing.

An adaptive seal lets the Carsule latch onto a wide variety of car models. And with 6.5 feet of headroom, this is the perfect pick for a cozy, waterproof and UV-resistant outdoor cabin. Installation is simple, and Carsule is easy to move, too.
