Camping equipment for your car
Is your car properly accessorised to be able to comfortably and securely transport all your camping equipment? Installing a vehicle-specific barrier allows you to really make the most of every square inch of your trunk space. A Travall Guard means you can stack the trunk to the roof and all of your camping equipment will stay securely positioned in the boot away from passengers. For some people it also makes sense to install a vehicle-specific trunk divider. Travall offers a divider that works exclusively with its Travall Guard. This allows you to pack camping gear on one side while your dog sits comfortably on the other side. Take a look at what’s available for your car!
