Summer, sun, road trip: 5 must-haves for camping, motorhomes and tents

Sommer, Sonne, Roadtrip: 5 Must-Haves für Camping, Wohnmobil und Zelt

Summer is calling – and with it, the longing for freedom, nature, and unforgettable adventures. Whether you're cruising through the South of France in a campervan, crossing the Alps in a motorhome, or spending a weekend by the lake with a tent and pegs: the warmer months are the perfect time for mobile travel. But let's be honest – heat, stuffy air, or a lack of power sources can quickly put a damper on things. That's why we're showing you five clever companions that will take your summer trip to the next level. Practical, compact, and perfect for anyone who wants to experience more outdoors – without compromising on comfort.

Portable cooler with battery: Fresh supplies, even in the middle of the wilderness

Imagine waking up in your van in the morning, the sun slowly rising over the treetops – and you can grab a cool smoothie or fresh milk from your cooler. No condensation, no annoying transferring of ice packs, no power cable running across your campsite. That's exactly what the EcoFlow GLACIER makes possible.

Thanks to its powerful battery, it keeps food and drinks cold for up to 40 hours – completely without an external power source. Two separately adjustable cooling zones even allow you to cool and freeze simultaneously. Whether you need to keep food fresh while camping or ice cubes for your drink on a road trip – the GLACIER is ready.

Why we love them:

  • No meltwater chaos like with ice-filled coolers.
  • Ideal for campers, tent campers and day trippers
  • Rechargeable via solar, vehicle electrical system or mains socket – maximum freedom

Portable air conditioner for tents or campers: EcoFlow WAVE 3

You're probably familiar with this: It's hot during the day, but at night the heat stays trapped in your tent or camper. Sleep is nearly impossible. This is where the EcoFlow WAVE 3 comes in – a portable air conditioner specifically designed for small spaces like tents, campervans, or caravans.

The major advantage: With the optional battery, you're completely flexible and don't need a power outlet. And with a cooling capacity that can significantly lower the temperature in just a few minutes, your sleeping area becomes a haven of comfort. App control makes operation particularly convenient – ​​you can start the cooling even before you reach your campsite.

Features that impress:

  • Down to pleasant temperatures in 8 minutes
  • Extremely quiet – perfect for nighttime.
  • Control via app for maximum comfort, even from a hammock

Fixed roof air conditioner for motorhomes: Bergstrom OpenAIR 12V

If you travel frequently and for extended periods, a permanently installed solution is worthwhile. The Bergstrom OpenAIR 12V roof air conditioner is installed directly on the vehicle and reliably provides cool air in the interior – without relying on external power sources.

Thanks to inverter technology, it operates particularly efficiently and quietly – making it ideal for anyone who wants to travel comfortably not only on weekends, but also during summer holidays or on long journeys.

Your advantages:

  • Permanently installed, ready for immediate use
  • Perfect for self-sufficient motorhomes, buses and vans
  • Super quiet & with a sophisticated air distribution system – pleasant even at night

Fresh air powered by solar energy: The WATTSTUNDE AERO solar fan

A classic camping problem: stagnant air, stuffy heat, and the feeling that the warm air just isn't moving. This is precisely where the AERO solar fan from WATTSTUNDE shines. It's installed directly into the vehicle roof or side wall and operates entirely on solar power. As soon as the sun shines, it automatically creates air circulation.

This means: Fresh air comes in, warm air is pushed out – all without energy consumption or external cables. A simple, yet extremely effective step towards a more comfortable climate in your camper.

Top arguments:

  • Operation without a power connection – self-sufficient through solar energy
  • No condensation, no heat build-up
  • Easy installation, runs automatically in sunlight
  • A cheaper and smaller alternative to a large air conditioner

Power to go: EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus power station with foldable solar panel

Lights, music, chargers, blenders – modern campers don't want to be without power on the road. The DELTA 3 Plus power station provides energy for all your devices, no matter where you are. With a storage capacity of 1,024 Wh, you can not only charge your mobile phone, but also run a coffee machine, a cool box, or even a portable air conditioner.

Combined with the foldable solar bag from WATTSTUNDE, you can conveniently charge the power station during the day using solar energy – whether on the lakeshore, on a mountain pass, or at a festival. This makes you completely independent of the nearest campsite.

Why this bundle convinced us:

  • A capacity of 1,024 Wh – for almost everything you need
  • Compatible with all EcoFlow devices – perfectly integrated into the system
  • Fast charging function for short stops and flexible routes

Conclusion: These summer gadgets will turn your camping trip into a haven of well-being.

Instead, you can focus on what really matters: experiencing adventures, enjoying freedom, and making the most of every moment outdoors. The products presented here aren't just gimmicks, but genuine helpers for your travel life – ensuring your summer is unforgettable, whether you're parked by the sea or camping in the woods.
