Jimny Car Camping

Sleeping in the Suzuki Jimny

Posted on September 25, 2019January 9, 2021

I thought I’d write a separate guide for car camping in the Jimny. It’s something a lot of people are interested in and I can understand why. It’s super convenient and a ton of fun.

Darche Eclipse 1.4m Awning

Posted on August 3, 2019February 1, 2021

We went for the 1.4m Eclipse Awning by Darche. Based on a recommendation from Trekoverland.com. Not only does it look great, fitting it was super easy. The plan for the awning is to make an additional piece to attach to the side of the tent. Creating a bat wing style coverage. One things for sure…
