Customer Reviews
Took this tent on my first camping excursion on my birthday week 09-13 October and OMG, I loved it! Kudos! The only problem was the unclear set up instructions.
Dear Josh,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the KingCamp SUV Tent. We apologize for any inconvenience you faced during setup. We'll certainly work on improving our instructional resources for a smoother assembly process.
We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate the tent's robust construction and the added convenience of the awnings. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're committed to ensuring you have the best camping experiences for years to come.
Happy adventures ahead!
KingCamp Team
I would've given this a 5 star review if it came with better instructions. Inside the bag is a tag showing the tent being assembled in 4 steps. It was laughable. I couldn't find any directions on their website or any YouTube videos. This was the first time I set it up. I'm just glad it was in my backyard and not being laughed at at a campground. Of course I'm going to have many many years of practice because it's made to last. It's very sturdy and I love the awnings. You're going to love it.
I bought this trip for a weekend trip to Joshua Tree. It was my first time camping there and did not realize how the landscape would be, so my review is based purely on this experience.
JT is a very windy and sandy place, with very fine beach like sand. While we were able to use most of the stakes and lines provided, the provided tie down paracord snapped the first night. The sand was deep and we ended up having to use a portable shovel as an anchor into the sand, with two thicker paracords going to the top of the tent, where many of the poles connect. Doing this kept the main section of the tent completely fine for night two, where winds were up to 30mph. But the second side of the tent (the seperate side room) was completely destroyed from the winds; and we only used the provided stakes and paracord. Four of the smaller tent poles to help with the awnings snapped from the wind, and the main door zipper is now having issues. Also, while this is no fault of the tent, be aware that if you do take this into windy conditions, SHUT YOUR TRUNK. The tent pulling on my open trunk on my SUV bent the hinges slightly, so I had to drive home with my 'trunk isn't shut beep' going off for two hours straight. Again, not their fault, just be aware. Also the velcro flooring sucks. It's a bad design that is simple, but we were never able to close off all the gaps, so dirt, dust, and wind got in that room a lot. For next time, I will be getting a bigger tarp and placing it under there first, and running paracord throughout the loops in the new tarp and on the tent.
What is awesome about this tent is the size. The setup is so simple once you know how to do it, and the layout is so cool. We had a solar generator running led lighting and a pocket projector onto a screen outside, and it fit 6 people comfortably inside the tent, with 4 more outside. I love the fact I can sleep in my SUV and still be in the tent. it makes loading up all the camp gear so easy as well, you just pack everything inside the tent into the suv, then take the tent down. The size is incredible. But it is just flimsy.
To combat this for my next trip, i am taking all precautions. I ordered 1/2" paracord (I think provided is 1/8" cord) to replace all the provided fittings, 16 heavy duty stakes, 4 large screw in stakes, 4 big ratchet straps to connect the four main corners to reduce any shift in the tent (and to not break my suv liftgate again), and more durable poles for the awnings and sides of the tent.
Wind is your enemy with this tent, so be prepared and you will absolutely love it.
It is a great size and love the concept for an alternative to pulling our travel trailer; however, the instructions are not clear and I am still unclear as to whether the tent is supposed to be waterproof and bug proof while the hatch of the car is open. Customer service has not been too stellar - they respond timely; however, not very informatively or exactly providing response to the question asked.
I like the space it provides as well as the shade. It was fairly easy to put up with 2-3 people. Not sure I could have done so alone. I didn't like the inaccurate description of a seamless connection from vehicle to tent. It is seamless to the awning structure that the tent hangs to from inside. The awning portion is completely attached to car, the tent requires the awning but doesn't directly attach to the vehicle, & thus vehicle & tent must be closed to prevent bugs entering either.
