Size and flexibility

With a total area of almost 20 m² (6.5 x 3 meters), the campervan tarp offers more protection than most awnings on the market. The awning can be set up individually – the side sections can be rolled up, stretched horizontally or downwards. This gives you full flexibility to design your box seat and enjoy your vacation.

Robustness and durability

The tarp fabric is made of high-quality, tear-resistant nylon fabric with a multi-layer silicone coating and reinforced guy points – made to withstand wind and rain. The abrasion-resistant Hypalon inserts in the loops increase the durability of the tarp. The quality of the materials has been carefully selected and ensures reliability even in adverse weather conditions.

Protection from sun and rain

The campervan tarp offers reliable protection from sun, wind and rain. The UV-resistant silicone coating ensures that the tarp is impermeable to light, so that it provides decent shade even on hot, sunny days. In addition, all the seams of the awning are sealed so that you stay dry even in the rain and can enjoy your outdoor life.

From the self-sewn prototype to the perfect solution

This is how it all began

We are Florian and Marcel from Bern, Switzerland, the founders of The Wildside Campervan Tarp. Our story began when we were preparing for our first road trip with our new camper. We were looking for an awning that would meet our requirements and provide us with as much protected space as possible in front of the camper. An awning was out of the question for us, as it doesn’t offer enough protection and doesn’t look good on the vehicle.

But our expectations were too high and we simply couldn’t find what we were looking for on the market. Nevertheless, we didn’t want to lower our standards.

We needed a sewing machine and a piece of fabric, and without further ado we sewed a tarp ourselves to suit our needs. The first prototype was born – even less sophisticated and far removed from today’s quality. We went on our journey happy. But what came out of it surprised even us.

We were regularly asked about our own creation. Other campers envied us and also wanted to have such a cool, flexible outdoor shelter. The enthusiastic demand has prompted us to professionalize our tarp in order to make other camping enthusiasts happy as well.

We have spent countless hours of our free time searching for high-quality materials. With a professional designer on hand, repeated tinkering and improvements to the prototypes, our The Wildside Tarp was born. After a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, we were able to launch the first production batch in winter 2021. Yay, a cool feeling! We were finally able to share our enthusiasm with other outdoor enthusiasts.

Meanwhile, we are on the road full-time as vanlifers. We use it every day, no matter how capricious the weather is.
