Car camping has a small annoyance: when you drive to town for supplies, your whole camp has to come down. PlayDo’s Inflatable Air House Tent solves that with a clever drive-away design — it connects to your SUV tailgate, so you can detach the car and drive off while the tent stays standing.
This is a ground/SUV tent (not a rooftop tent), and it is one of PlayDo’s newest inflatable products — a great way to capture “SUV tailgate tent” and “drive-away tent” searches.
One Tent, Two Ways to Camp
The Air House measures 4×3×2.2m and works two ways:
- Standalone camping tent— pitch it anywhere; the 2.2m peak lets most adults stand upright.
- SUV tailgate tent— clip the adjustable tailgate sleeve to your vehicle and create a sealed indoor-outdoor living space. Load gear, cook, or dodge rain without stepping outside.
