Camp Anywhere: Setting Up Your Off-Road Vehicle for Camping Excursions
Car camping is a great way to escape the city and spend more time exploring nature or hitting off-road trails. It's practical, affordable, and the ability to set up camp for the night will allow you to extend your outdoor trips and check out places you wouldn't be able to reach in a day. Setting up your off-road vehicle to work double-duty as a camper has a lot of benefits—you can avoid driving in the dark, get a good night’s rest, enjoy a real meal, and simply have more fun on your outdoor adventures. In this blog, we'll guide you through the essentials of preparing your off-road rig for car camping, ensuring you're equipped for a comfortable stay in the great outdoors.
MAXIMIZE YOUR CARGO
When you're packing for a weekend in the backcountry, cargo space disappears fast. Recovery gear, camping equipment, coolers, and extra supplies all compete for valuable room, so making the most of your vehicle's storage is essential. A quality roof rack gives you the flexibility to carry bulky items like recovery boards, fuel cans, or additional gear while keeping your interior organized and comfortable.

CAMP IN COMFORT
For a true car camping experience, you can forgo the tent altogether and sleep in your rig. To make the most of your interior floor space, a specifically designed mattress to match your make and model will give you the most room for a comfortable night’s sleep. The IAG I-Line Air Mattress For Cargo Area is molded to perfectly fill out the entire back interior of the 2021+ Ford Bronco. This thick mattress will give you a bit of cushion from your vehicle’s floor, and will provide you with a bit of security and comfort as you sleep safely inside your Bronco.

CAMP LIGHTING
Whether you're setting up camp after sunset or packing up before sunrise, reliable lighting just makes camping easier. Interior dome lights help illuminate your vehicle's cargo area, making it easy to find tools, recovery gear, or camping supplies without fumbling around in the dark.
Exterior lighting is just as important. From late-night arrivals to early morning departures, the right lighting helps keep your campsite safer, more functional, and ready for whatever adventure comes next.

AIRING UP
Deflating your tires to improve your traction on the trails is a common practice, but airing back up often means having to carry a bulky pump system, or having to nervously drive to the nearest service station to re-inflate your tires. The IAG Tailgate Air Compressor System mounts securely inside the tailgate of your 2021+ Ford Bronco, so you won’t have to carve out extra space in your cargo compartment. IAG’s Air Compressor System is perfect for camping, this versatile system can inflate air mattresses, rafts, water toys and bike tires. It can also be used with pneumatic tools and, of course, off-road tires!
