Summer is underway, and that means an itching to check out some of the prettiest destinations throughout Pennsylvania. Many of our customers are saving money along the way by turning their Peruzzi Toyota Sienna, Highlander, or Tundra into a cozy “camper.” Here are some helpful tips for “car camping” (which is a big thing these days) – from Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA.
FIND THE RIGHT SPOT
Unlike booking a hotel room, car camping only requires a level spot – and in some cases, permission. Check out sites via US public lands, iOverlander, or Allstays to find great places to park it for the night. Make sure to share your location with a friend at home.
KEEP THINGS SAFE
Being “away from it all” and out in nature is fun – but don’t forget to stay safe.
- Pack wireless chargers for your devices
- Bring LED lanterns
- If it’s warm outside, use wireless camping fans to stay cool. Never leave the engine running.
- Pack bear/pepper spray…just in case of an unwelcome visitor to your car camping site
- Rig up some “car curtains” for privacy
- Lock your doors
KEEP IT COMFY
At first, the idea of sleeping in your car may seem uncomfortable. But with multiple ways to configure the interior, today’s crop of Toyotas are designed to be super-comfortable — in any circumstance. Invest in a car-sized air mattress, sleeping pad or sleeping bag. A tent for sleeping under the stars is another option.
A FEW REMINDERS
Before you head out on your car camping adventure, it’s smart to get a once-over from the Peruzzi Toyota service experts, to ensure you won’t hit any unexpected snags.
While you’re out on the road, be sure to stop frequently to ensure that your gas tank is filled. Never seek out a camping spot in the dark, and enjoy the downtime to ensure you get enough sleep to make driving safe.
Car camping is a fun, economical way enjoy the summer. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA wishes you “happy camping”!
