【Auto Camping】A ceiling height of 185 cm is too high! A dome tent that can fit in a compact car

With the children independent now, it's mainly about duo camping with just the couple or like-minded friends. For experienced campers like this, a compact tent that is easy to set up is just right. We recommend the "Maehiro Dome Extra" which perfectly matches the needs.

A 185cm ceiling that you can move around without bending down - Duo camping made easy

The new model "Maehiro Dome Extra" optimized for duo camping in a car is now available from Daytona, a motorcycle aftermarket parts manufacturer, under the "Maehiro" series. Exactly what I wanted!

The biggest appeal of the "Maehiro Dome Extra" is its ceiling height, which allows an adult around 170cm tall to stand upright inside the tent. The highest point is about 185cm, so there’s no need to deeply bend over every time you change clothes or organize your gear.

In duo camping, the time spent inside the tent tends to increase. The ability to move while standing reduces the physical strain on the body more than "space" does. Both the inner tent and the vestibule have ample height, supporting relaxation times unique to auto camping, whether brewing coffee when you wake up or leisurely spending time in the vestibule when the weather worsens.

Expansive vestibule × 2 rooms - A balanced "not too big yet spacious" design

When we talk about the "Maehiro Dome" series, the spaciousness of the vestibule is a defining feature. This model inherits that characteristic, with a two-room structure consisting of an inner tent for sleeping and a vestibule for relaxation and cooking.

With a total length of about 395×240cm, the main body size takes up less space than a large family tent, yet it provides enough room for chairs, tables, and racks when camping duo style. In reality, this balance was created from the observation that “models designed for duo use were often comfortably used solo,” resulting in a cleverly sized space that is not overly large.

With a two-pole and lightweight compact design, setting up and transporting this tent is a breeze

The tent for auto camping is large with many poles, making setup a significant challenge. However, the "Maehiro Dome Extra" adopts a simple structure with just two poles to lower those hurdles. By threading two aluminum poles and inserting them into the eyelets of the inner tent, it achieves a self-standing structure.

Weighing approximately 6.6 kg and with a storage size of about 48×φ28 cm, it ensures compactness for easy transport in a vehicle. Even in cars with limited loading space, it can be balanced well with other gear. It realizes the "quick setup and takedown" refined through touring tents, allowing for more relaxed time spent at the campsite.

Comfortable long stays with airflow that creates convection and condensation measures

A frequently mentioned stress of tent camping is the trapped heat and discomfort from condensation. The "Maehiro Dome Extra" enhances breathability by placing large mesh panels at the front and rear entrances and installing ventilators at both ends. Designed with a convection structure in mind, it ensures comfort even in hot summer or rainy weather.

On the left side of the vestibule, a double slider is used, allowing for fine adjustments such as slightly opening just the top to efficiently release heat. This makes it easier to maintain a comfortable environment inside the tent. On the other hand, due to its focus on lightweight construction and ceiling height, it is not intended for use in strong winds. By facing the windward side down while observing the setup environment and wind direction, you can enjoy a safer and more comfortable camping experience.

Rather than forcing a large tent, choose one that suits your current style. The "Maehiro Dome Extra" is a well-balanced tent aimed at adult campers. Inside the tent, you can move without bending down, and in the vestibule, you can sit comfortably and relax. It seems likely to become a main tent candidate that you can rely on for your next duo camping trip.
