Sitting comfortably in the trunk of a car on a Teraglide platform, enjoying a peaceful car camping moment

Is the Platform Worth the Price?

If you’ve been thinking about our camping platform and left it sitting in your cart — we get it. It’s not a small decision. But it’s one that quickly starts making sense when you realise what it gives you.

This isn’t just a product. It’s time saved. Comfort gained. And freedom earned.

What Makes the Teraglide Platform a Smart Investment?

Think about it: no setting up a tent, no waking up soaked from condensation, no folding wet canvas and risking mould later. Just unfold the platform, throw in your mattress — and you’re ready to sleep. In under a minute.

You’re not locked into bookings or limited by hotel check-in times. You can leave after work on Friday and wake up by a lake on Saturday. Whether you’re solo, with a partner, or with kids in the backseat, your car becomes a cosy, flat bed wherever you park.

We scan and design for your specific vehicle model, so you sleep like you’re home — no uneven floors or awkward gaps. Gas lifts and a clever layout give you easy access to the space underneath, including your subtrunk if your car has one.

And yes — it pays off fast.

Even a basic hotel room costs $100–150 a night. That’s $1,000–1,500 in just ten nights. With Teraglide, the math is simple: a few weekends and your platform’s already earned its keep. And it keeps doing that for years.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or the perfect weather. You could already be out there. In the hills. At the coast. With a warm drink and no one rushing you.

If it’s still in your cart — maybe it’s time to stop wondering and start driving.
