How to Pick the Right Camping Platform for Your Car: Avoid These Common Mistakes

 

❌ Common Camping Platform Mistakes (And How Teraglide Solves Them)

Finding the right camping platform can feel overwhelming with so many choices out there. Here’s a simple guide to help you avoid the most common pitfalls and choose a setup that gives you comfort, storage, and peace of mind—without the fuss.

1. Complicated Setup

Many camping platforms are overly complex and take forever to assemble—especially frustrating after a long day on the road.
✅ Teraglide is designed for quick, tool-free setup, so you can be ready to rest or cook in minutes.

2. Wasted Trunk Space

Some platforms block access to your trunk, making it hard to store or retrieve gear—an issue on longer trips.
✅ Our design keeps your trunk fully usable, with everything stored neatly underneath the bed.

3. Requires Vehicle Modifications

Permanent installs and drilling may lower resale value and tie you to one vehicle.
✅ Teraglide fits without any modifications, preserving your car’s condition and flexibility if you change vehicles later.

4. Loss of Passenger Seating

Many platforms make it impossible to carry rear passengers once installed.
✅ Ours folds fully into the trunk, so you can keep the back seats up and bring passengers anytime.

5. Blocked Storage Access

Some beds make it difficult to reach the subtrunk or gear stored under the platform.
✅ Teraglide Pro includes a lifting system, giving you easy, full access to storage, even with the platform in place.

6. Uncomfortable Sleeping Surface

Many setups are uneven, unstable, or just plain hard. A poor night’s sleep ruins the adventure.
✅ Our platform provides a flat, slatted surface, designed to feel like your bed at home—no sagging, no sore back.
