Now Roof Tents are obviously the Fancier and higher utility way to camp, however not everyone intends to do a roof top tent on their 4runner.  If you are interested in roof tents, you can check out some options over HERE on our site.

However in this article we are going to dive into some of the alternatives to a roof tent on the Toyota 4Runner.

I personally have been using my 4Runner as a hotel, and camping out of an SUV hundreds of times over the last 7 years.  I want to show you some of the most innovative, helpful, and just outright cool solutions for car camping out of a 4Runner, and trust me there are a lot!!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

We aren't going to sugar coat it.  If you're a tall person, then you're gonna be in for a rough time, and by tall we mean like over 6 foot.  The interior of the toyota 4runner just isn't quite big enough for those who are on the tall side. However the majority of people won't have any trouble.

Luno, your best friend for all things car camping:

Did you know there is a company thats entire business is making products for car camping?  well now you do, they are Luno, and holy $&%* I wish I had known about some of these products all the years I spent sleeping on the road. 

Thankfully Luno has included the 4Runner in their product lineup! This means there are a host of Luno products designed SPECIFICALLY for making car camping out of a 4Runner far more comfortable and doable.

You can find those products on our site right HERE.

The Luno Air Mattress:

When it comes to car camping, one of the most important and usually most frustrating things to deal with is finding an air mattress that fits inside the vehicle.  Sometimes it will taco against the sides, sit uneven against the folded seats, or not fit with the back hatch closed.  This can be incredibly frustrating and require you to relocate, or move gear in and out of the vehicle to make it work... well Luno has solved this problem for you.. Forever.

You will never need another air mattress again, and Luno Guarantees that.  These things are build like they were designed to be used outdoors, against lots of pointy sticks and rocks.  They are solid and thick enough you won't ever have to worry again about puncturing one and having to wake up on a hard, deflated mattress. 

The mattress itself Is also fitted EXACTLY to the shape of the interior of the Toyota 4Runner.  It even has bevels around the wheel well, which we have found works incredible because it allows you to use the little shelf over the wheel well as a tiny night stand. Absolutely incredible for car campers.
