The CarCot

The Holoholo CarCot, a maroon car camping cot with adjustable black legs

A comfortable, affordable cot built for sleeping inside your vehicle, or out at camp on ground that's anything but flat.

+

Adjustable legs

Level out over wheel wells and seat rails. Every car, every floor.

+

Storage underneath

Sleeping up on a cot leaves way more room below than any platform build.

+

Suuper comfortable

No mattress needed. The taut sleeping surface does the work, no deflating pads at 3am.

+

No rig required

Turns the car you already own into a place you actually want to sleep.

+

Not just for the car

Pull it out and pitch it at camp. The same adjustable legs level over rocks, roots, and sloped ground, so a tent site or a tailgate works as well as the trunk.

Why we wander

Spending so much time online is slowly killing our souls. We want to get outside and explore more, but it costs a lot.

A Sprinter build is $$$. Regular travel is $$$. Both take time off you probably don't have.

Car camping takes as little as one night.

  1. Throw a CarCot in your trunk
  2. Drive somewhere cool
  3. Sleep in your car and explore during the day

Car camping guides

Short, practical reads for sleeping in your car without a build-out.

How to sleep in residential neighborhoods

TL;DRBlend in with the parked cars, roll up after 8:30, covers on, stay dark and quiet.

Residential streets beat parking lots. They're quieter, nobody patrols them, and a car parked among other cars reads as normal.

+ What makes a good spot?
Quiet street, a row of other parked cars, a wall or park on one side.
+ What gives you away?
Light and noise. Get your covers up before dark and keep everything off.

How to shower on the road

TL;DRGet a gym membership. Anytime Fitness is the best one for this.

Showers are the part people quit over, and they're the easiest part to solve. A gym membership gets you hot water nationwide.

+ Why Anytime Fitness?
Locations everywhere, 24 hour access, and your keyfob works at all of them.
+ What about beaches and campgrounds?
Beach rinse stations are cold but free. State campgrounds often sell shower tokens.

Car camping 101: your first night

TL;DRPark flat, crack a window, sleep on something with structure. Comfort is 90% of it.

Your first night in the car decides whether you ever do a second one. Level the car, sort your airflow, and give yourself a real sleeping surface.

+ Do I need to fold my seats flat?
Not with a cot; it bridges over seat gaps and uneven floors.
+ What about condensation?
Crack two windows on opposite sides for cross-flow.
