Car camping boot dimensions & gallery
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could try before you buy? Well – you can’t exactly try here, but this page will let you at least take a peek before you buy – see how the seats and boot look folded down on many suitable car camping cars. Before I bought my Sharan, it took me forever to find out which car is best for car camping – how does it look in the back, is the boot big enough? Does it have any storage compartments useful for camping? How do the seats work, do they fold down, are they removable?
I have collected these images during my research and I keep adding new ones as I go – hope they will help you find the right car for your camping adventures :).
Hey – before you continue
I built an updated version of this page – a database of campers that’s
very easy to filter by boot length, width, consumption and more…
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with this page – there are more cars here, but it’s a bit harder to navigate + less detail. I’m in the process of migrating all cars from here to the new database.
I’ll keep the gallery updated as I go and discover new cars and get my hands on new photos and measurements.
Do you have a photo of a car that is missing? Send it to us and we’ll add it.
