Best Nissan Accessories for Camping

The team at Rydell Nissan of Grand Forks wants to wish you a happy camping season. You have one of the many Nissans designed to take you and your gear all over the wilds of North Dakota and Minnesota. Wherever your Nissan takes you, you’ll want to be prepared. Fortunately, smartly designed accessories to help you and your Nissan enjoy the outdoors are abundant.

What will you bring and what will you do? Are you into fishing, hiking, birdwatching, or just getting away from it all? Whatever your pastime, let’s find you the right gear to make it more fun and safe.

Hatch Tent

Combine the stability of sleeping in your car with the airiness of sleeping in a tent by getting a tent designed for your Nissan. Armada, Murano, Pathfinder, Quest, Rogue, Juke and Xterra owners have 10×10 and 9×9 options. Each includes an external rain-fly and can be converted into a stand-alone ground tent.

Arrive at the campsite, then pitch a tent in your truck bed or the back of your SUV. Enjoy how far away from the hubbub you are while keeping the mosquitos out.

Yakima Rack

One of the most trusted names in car-top carriers has partnered with Nissan to produce a line of specialized, custom-fit racks for whatever you’re hauling on the roof. They also have a range of accessories for your trailer hitch. You can get carriers specifically for bikes, surf boards, kayaks, skis, or snowboards. Boxes and baskets make it easy to carry not-so-standard loads. When you’re not using it, you can easily detach your carrier and store it until later.

Emergency Kit

Even when you’re not heading to the middle of nowhere, you might want the security of one of the many emergency kits available from the Nissan parts store. The Emergency Road Kit, available for any Nissan model, includes jumper cables, reflective warning signs, gloves, a flashlight, and a range of basic tools. The First Aid Kit has the basics for the inevitable cuts, burns, and rashes you or your family may experience while adventuring. Worth its weight in gold when car sickness hits, the Family Travel Clean-Up Kit includes wipes, plastic gloves, disposable bags and everything else you might need when things get nasty.

Titan and Frontier owners can get the Off-Road Adventure Kit. When you’re roughing it, you might need the folding shovel, recovery rope, zip ties, multi-tool, and other gear. You can also get more serious about first aid with the Adventure Medic Kit. Each of those is designed to fit like a glove in your vehicle.

Pet Divider

Your dog is adorable until he’s in the driver’s seat with you. That’s not safe. Keep your best friend safely sequestered in the back of your SUV or hatchback with the right divider. Some are a canvas net while others are rubberized metal. Find one that you and your dog like, and you’ll reduce your risk of a pet-related accident.

Inflatable Bed Mattress

Don’t wreck your back just because you’re roughing it. Air mattresses are comfy, and they only get better when they’re designed to fit in your truck bed. Make your truck tent more comfortable, sleep under the canopy, or snooze under the stars. Some designs fit around the wheel wells, while others provide storage space underneath.

NV200 Camper

Why not go all the way and get your NV200 built as an RV? Whether new or as an aftermarket refit, Nissan work vans make excellent campers thanks to their expansive windows, efficient use of space, and abundant conversion possibilities. Plus, they share so much mechanically with Nissan cars that repairs are rare and inexpensive.

Roof Tent

Want a truly great view? Climb on top of your Nissan and open the flaps on your tent. You’ll find many smart campers turned designers offering platform-based domiciles. Climb the ladder and say goodnight. The inside of your car is free to hold your gear locked away from trouble.

Awning

Speaking of great canvas additions to your Nissan, consider adding some extra shade. Open the back of your hatchback or SUV and recline safe from the sun. Versatile batwing awnings mount to the roof rack of your vehicle, then unfold to provide shade anywhere you want so your guests can lounge. At the beach, game, or picnic, they’ll be glad you thought of shade. 

All-Weather Mats

If you’re not getting dirty, you’re doing it wrong. Just don’t get that dirt into the carpet. A quality set of all-weather mats will contain mud from sloppy boots. A set made just for your Nissan will fit perfectly and be easy to remove. Hose them off, let them dry, and you’re ready for the next mess. Drivers with kids will be happy to have them even when not camping.

Wild Xterra Mods

If you need another reason to have fun, just look in any direction for a one-of-a-kind Xterra. Built from 1999-2015, this Frontier-based SUV inspired many to explore deeper into the wilds than ever before. It also inspired an entire culture of automotive enthusiasts to creatively modify the Xterra. Snorkels and skid plates help tackle rivers and rocks. You’ll find creative tubular bumpers, racks, storage solutions, and other creations. Xterra owners know no boundaries.

From the lakes of Minnesota to the prairies of North Dakota, you’ll find many reasons to camp around Grand Forks. Start with the right vehicle. Whether you need a rugged truck, a capable family SUV, or a reliable car for weekend road trips, Rydell Nissan has you covered. When it’s time to customize your vehicle for the outdoors, we’re there for you to with ideas, genuine parts, and expertise.
