Roof tent adventure in the Austrian Alps
Roof tent adventure in the Austrian Alps with Dodge RAM
The breathtaking landscapes of Austria with their majestic Alpine peaks, crystal-clear lakes and idyllic valleys offer perfect conditions for unforgettable camping adventures. With the right vehicle and high-quality camping equipment, a trip through the Austrian mountains becomes a unique experience. The Dodge RAM proves to be the ideal companion, as it offers enough storage space and a robust base for roof tents and other camping equipment. Gordigear provides the right equipment that can withstand even demanding alpine conditions.
Perfect equipment for alpine adventures
The Tanami Plus folding roof tent from Gordigear is ideal for trips in the Austrian Alps. It can be set up quickly, offers enough space for relaxation after long hikes and reliably protects against the changeable weather conditions in the mountains. The robust construction can withstand even strong winds, which is particularly advantageous at higher altitudes. A good night's sleep is guaranteed even after demanding mountain tours, as the integrated mattress ensures a high level of comfort.
To protect the outdoor area from sun or rain, the Gumtree car awning is the perfect addition to your camping equipment. It is easy to install on the Dodge RAM and provides a shady place to relax or cook outdoors. The additional tent space for the awning creates a protected living area, which significantly increases comfort, especially during longer stays in one place, and serves as a place to retreat in bad weather.
With the Dodge RAM through Austria's diverse regions
The Dodge RAM, with its size and performance, is ideal for traveling in mountainous terrain. Its robustness makes it possible to reach even more remote campsites or parking spaces. However, when loading the vehicle with the roof tent and other equipment, the dynamic and static roof load must be taken into account. The exact information on this should be requested from the manufacturer. It is also important to take the weight of the mounted roof rack into account to ensure safety during the journey.
The diverse regions of Austria offer a wide range of experiences for campers with roof tents. From the rolling hills of Burgenland to the lakes of Carinthia and the impressive peaks of Tyrol and Salzburg, you can find suitable pitches everywhere. Many campsites have first-class infrastructure with sanitary facilities, power connections and sometimes even wellness areas for relaxation after active days in nature.

Practical tips for rooftop camping in Austria
When travelling through the Austrian Alps with a roof tent , a few practical aspects should be considered. Temperatures can drop significantly at higher altitudes, even in summer, which is why good insulation of the tent is important. The Tanami Plus offers optimal protection here with its robust construction and high-quality material. For additional comfort in cooler weather, a tent heater or additional insulation mats are recommended.
It is important to observe the traffic regulations in Austria, especially the speed limits and toll regulations. A vignette is required for many motorways and expressways, while separate tolls are charged for certain mountain passes. With a larger vehicle such as the Dodge RAM, special care must be taken on narrow mountain roads. The parking situation should also be clarified in advance, as not all parking spaces are designed for vehicles of this size.
Expansion options for even more comfort
If you want to increase your comfort when camping in Austria, you could consider upgrading from a folding roof tent to a hard-shell roof tent. These offer even faster set-up and take-down times as well as improved aerodynamics while driving. For additional protection from the elements, awnings are ideal, as they significantly increase the usable living space.
A shower tent can make everyday camping life much easier, especially if you are away from equipped campsites. It allows privacy when showering and changing and can be stored compactly. For travelers who are traveling with a trailer, trailer tents offer additional overnight accommodation options and can make the camping experience in the Austrian Alps even more varied.
