With much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tristarafricaskimmersafaris.com\/kenya-tours\/rent-camping-gear.html\">camping gear<\/a> to take with you, carrying larger equipment like portable generators or tents requires a larger kind of car.Whether you are planning to set up a tent or sleep in your car, one of the best types of camping-friendly vehicles is the spacious minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Nissan Serena<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nissan Serena offers both a sense of style and an\nimpressive amount of interior space, perfect for campers wanting a combination\nof looks and utility.

The solid\nengine of the Serena has an average displacement of 1,998cc, and runs on petrol\nwith fuel consumption that is surprisingly reasonable, at roughly 10 liters per\n100km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exterior of the car is slim, beautiful, and has large\nheadlights and taillights, which help improve visibility during night-time\ndriving in the countryside. The Serena\u2019s large front and rear windscreens make\nreversing and viewing the environment around you even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a big car, it gives both the driver and passengers more\nleg and head room when they are seated inside.

Toyota Voxy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people confuse the Toyota Voxy with the Toyota, but one\ncommon element between both vehicles is that they are equally sufficient for\ncasual camping.As for the Toyota Voxy, this 5-door (including 2 rear sliding\ndoors), 7-passenger multi-purpose van has been on the market since 2001 and has\nonly been getting increasingly better with time. It has a very friendly fuel\nconsumption rate at only 10 liters per 100 km, with its average fuel tank\ncapacity around the 60-liter mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a solid van\nfor camping with small to mid-sized families, thanks to the easy-sliding doors\non both sides and the folding seats at the back, which allow you to create a\nlot of space to carry any number of bulky camping gears or use for sleeping\narrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within its interior, you will be amazed at the amount of\ncabin space for the passengers have as well as the driver while its\nexterior boxy design is elegant in its simplicity.
