5 Must-Have Accessories for Vehicle Camping in 2026
Why camp on the ground when you can camp from your vehicle? Whether you’re heading out for a weekend in the wilderness or parking your truck for a tailgate party, the right gear can make or break your experience.
To kick off your next adventure, we’ve rounded up five Napier Outdoors accessories that make SUV and truck camping easier, comfier, and – let’s be real – way more fun.
1. The New RoamAir Mattress
Are you really a truck owner if you’ve never tried to fit a regular air mattress in your truck bed, and failed spectacularly? Enter: the Napier RoamAir Mattress. Your ticket to comfort wherever the road takes you.
This isn’t your average blow-up bed. It’s designed to fit perfectly between your truck’s wheel wells (no more awkward gaps or slant), and the velvet top keeps your bedding right where it should be.
Inflate it in minutes with the USB rechargeable air pump. And, when it’s time to hit the road, the 2-in-1 valve makes deflation a breeze. Indoors or outdoors, this mattress proves that comfort doesn’t have to stay at home.
You deserve better than a half-deflated air bed. Check out the RoamAir Mattress.
2. Napier Sportz Cove
It’s like a pop-up patio for your SUV, CUV, or minivan.
Perfect for tailgating, beach days, or waiting out that inevitable campsite drizzle, the Sportz Cove clips onto your vehicle in minutes to create a breezy, weatherproof hangout zone. It’s lightweight, compact, and surprisingly versatile, so it’s just as at home at a summer BBQ as it is on a backcountry road trip.
Pair it with one of Napier’s truck or SUV tents, and you’ve got a multi-zone setup that’s part chill lounge, part cozy campsite.
Shop the Sportz Cove and level up your next road trip, rain or shine.
3. Napier Bug Shield
Bugs. The original uninvited camping guests. Kick them out, once and for all.
Napier’s Bug Shield keeps mosquitoes, flies, and other pesky buzzers out of your sleep zone, while still letting in that fresh camp breeze. It attaches easily to your Napier tent or vehicle opening, creating a protective barrier that makes relaxing outdoors actually… relaxing.
One of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference, especially on humid summer nights or lakeside getaways.
Stay bite-free and happy. Learn more about the Napier Bug Shield.
4. Strap Protectors
You love your tent. You love your truck. You don’t love the idea of your tent scratching your truck.
Napier’s strap protectors wrap around your tent straps to prevent scuffs, scrapes, and paint damage, so your setup stays clean and your truck stays sharp.

5. Tent Links
Take your camping setup to new heights (literally) with Napier’s Tent Links. These clever connectors let you link your vehicle tent to another Napier tent, creating a multi-level or extended campsite.
That means extra room for storage, gear, or even a separate sleeping space for friends or family. Whether you’re camping with kids, pets, or adventure buddies, the Truck Tent Links turn your truck bed into a connected, cozy outdoor hub.
