7 Crucial Camping Accessories For Your 4x4 UTE

Camping can be spectacular or disappointing, depending on how you make it. Some people are not very keen on camping trips because they had one devastating experience and now can’t grasp their mind around the idea of going anywhere less than a 5-star hotel. Those still up for an adventure will quickly change their minds with the right accessories around them.

Camping is fun if you know how to do it. Going on a camping adventure with your UTE means you must equip it properly. If you only have your dual-cab UTE and plan to sleep on the back seat, you’ll probably not be as happy, but if you have a large camper trailer box over the rear tray, it will be a different story.

In this blog post, we talk about the seven crucial camping accessories you must install on your UTE to enjoy a flawless trip – from tool boxes to undertray trundle drawers – all these items are essential for your great off-road adventure. Keep reading and learn more about it.

1. Toolbox canopy

The first thing you must install on your UTE is the toolbox canopy. There are various types and models of 4x4 canopies, and you should pick the one that suits you best and goes perfectly with your vehicle model. Installation is simple, but if you struggle at some points, you can always see how to mount a canopy to tray on the highlighted link.

The canopy is ideal for campers as it provides enormous storage capacities. It keeps your items safe from all weather conditions and unwanted visitors. With the right features installed and the canopy design, you will have a wonderful time in nature.

2. Roof rack

The roof rack is the item you didn’t know you needed. When installed on top of the toolbox, you strive for unlimited storage capacity. It doesn’t matter why you are in nature – camping, hunting, fishing, sailing, canoeing; the roof rack helps you store valuable items up there with ease. When you have a roof rack, you’re not limited by anything, and you can literally take anything with you, no matter where you go.

3. Additional LED lights

When you’re going off-road, you might reach parts of nature that are dark and scary. Without proper lighting, it may be tough to get through. Sometimes, your life may be in danger if you’re not properly prepared. Installing additional LED lights that will illuminate the area entirely means you can tackle any obstacle that appears on the road.

4. Storage system for the canopy

The canopy we mentioned usually comes empty. To use its full potential, you need to additionally install a storage system inside. What does this mean? The storage system consists of multiple trundle drawers, shelves, additional boxes, and other things that will help you organize the items you’re storing.

Of course, sometimes you need a big empty space to put your huge backpack inside. In most cases, you want the canopy to resemble your kitchen, where you ideally organize your plates, utensils, glasses, and everything else, and you always know where things are when you need them.

5. Ladder that connects with the roof rack

The ladder is the piece of the puzzle that connects the toolbox and the rear part of the vehicle with the roof rack. It’s great owning a roof rack, but you can’t get up there without the ladder. Installing one is essential if you want to seamlessly control everything around your vehicle.

6. Power generator

Although we all go to nature to disconnect from the big city, we still very much depend on electricity. We need to recharge our phones and laptops and connect technology brought with us in the wilderness. This is why we need a power generator.

One placed carefully inside a dedicated generator box for a caravan or a UTE will give us that extra comfort when we’re deep in the woods. When preparing a camping setup, always find room for your power generator box and ensure it works perfectly before going on the road.

7. Undertray boxes

When you drive a UTE, you enjoy the ground clearance. Your tyres are enormous, and this helps you get through all sorts of terrain. However, there’s part under the tray that is entirely unused. Mounting undertray boxes means getting storage for items you need quickly. Storing the first-aid kit, a knife, a lighter, or something similar is perfect for emergencies.

Conclusion

These seven points are essential for campers who drive 4x4 UTEs. Mounting the items we talked about will provide security, convenience on your trips, and joy. No camping will be the same if you have the right storage system, perfect lighting, and a power generator. Enjoy your off-road adventure with a power vehicle and the right accessories.
