Camping With the Mogics Carsule | SUV Camping Setup

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- We decided to test out our new SUV car camping setup with the Mogics Carsule! The Carsule is a pop-up tent that attaches to the back of your vehicle and creates a lot of extra space to move, eat, and sleep in. It's a great way to turn your SUV into an adventure vehicle at a reasonable price.
While on our camping adventure, we give a tour of our SUV car camping setup with the materials we used to "convert" our car. Here's what we used!
Gear Mentioned:
Mogics Carsule: amzn.to/3iI2B0g
Eureka Ignite Stove: www.eurekacamp...
WeatherTech Custom Shields: www.weathertec...
Mattress: amzn.to/3Lmwdg8

Nothing beats camping like having the perfect partner at your side to enjoy the moment ... love your vibes ... makes me want to buy a cube tent and get married again....lol
Aw thank you so much! This was such a nice comment 😊 We definitely appreciate each other's company, for sure!
I wish i had a companion like yours. Shes special.
Love camping, cornbread and your setup! Never seen a rig like that but I like it! Love the review and walkthrough! It looked MOGICAL! 😉 looks
Like such a fun time! Supercool and great work!
Thanks guys! Lol maybe they will trademark that term!
You both are fantastic. Great addition with the Carsule. Love that it attaches with magnets. Ingenious!
Your narration is good Pete
Gabes is a great cook.
Aw thank you so much for watching and the compliment! Yes Gabs does a great job with the food for sure!!
Thanks for sharing - saved a lot of people a lot of time. You've made it look so easy to set up the Mogic Tent. Thanks.
Sure thing, glad we could help!
You two have such calming voices :D
Aw thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing your set up and experience. I have just ordered some Weathertech shades (how cool are they!). I hadn't realised such a thing existed so am super grateful to you! Looking at investing in a carsule but would be interested to how they handle wind. Thanks again and I hope the hand is okay.
Hi Kristy, thank you so much for your nice comment! We really appreciate it! Yeah the WeatherTech shields are sick and we were pumped when we found them.
We're planning on filming a full setup video on the Carsule soon. It's not too windy this week where we are, but we will show how to brace it for the wind (it includes ropes and stakes). We're going to do some more camping videos with it too throughout the late summer/fall so you can see it there as well!
Got hold of the manufacturer of
the cube. Will buy one soon.
Thank you!
Oh great! Hopefully it works out well for you!
Cant wait to see more of your camping videos
Thank you! We have some fun trips planned for late summer and fall so stay tuned🙂👍
Nice energy! You guys are funny!
Haha thank you very much! We appreciate it 😊
I just got one! Looking to setup for the first time
Nice! Happy Adventures!
Thanks for sharing. Just ordered mine and I can't wait!
Awesome! We hope you have a great time on your adventures!
Angela
Where did you ordered yours from?
Nice review. Heaven forbid don’t use that light you have ready to go on the top of the tent to shoot video! Just kidding.
Anyway, this is a great looking product. What an upgrade from just a tent.
Haha yes it was much lighter outside than it looks on camera. We like it so far! We have some trips planned for the fall so hopefully you'll see more of it soon!
Nice!! I found this channel by searching car camping!! Subscribed!
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed it 😊
I saw this and another video you did on the set up. I want something that is quick for weekend adventures. Thanks for this. The carsule got alot of negative reviews so this has been a blessing. I'm going to get one. Thanks!
Sure thing! We've enjoyed it as a fun toy!
Best of luck guys!
You can also cook inside your Camp carcule if you wanted to
Love it but a bit worried the height of the windows might be too high for me to step over. How high from the ground is it?
I would definitely buy a carsule. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
I think I'm going to buy one of these and because I wanted a pop-up camper but my vehicle isn't strong enough to carry one so this would be perfect and I'm going to sleep inside the actual camper part and have my gear inside my vehicle but of course I'm going to have it attached to my Honda CRV
cool. Would love to see your video of it set up for sleeping it in solo as a tent if you make a video like that. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! We are planning on doing a full setup video soon. With this in mind we'll definitely include a part of the video where it's detached from the car so you can see what it's like with everything setup!
Hoping to have that filmed this weekend and up next week 😊 Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see!
Found your TH-cam channel a couple days ago. Pretty cool gadgets. u guys just have so much fun!! Btw Pete u kinda look like the actor Josh Levison from being human US version.
Thanks so much! We're glad you're enjoying our videos :) And we see the resemblance lol
Thanks for the review and I love your guys energy... Look forward to seeing more :)
Thank you so much😊 That's so nice and we really appreciate it!
I love this little tent, it would be perfect for me, size wise, but for a senior citizen on a fixed income it is a bit pricey. That, and the fact that you can’t find them lol.
These are China pump and dumps. They make a lot of them, market them hard for one season, put them on clearance the next off season, then you never see them again with the same name....but you might with another name.
If you obtain an 8' or 7' tall regular dome or tunnel tent with a rear door, you can clip it to your open tailgate with a $10 tarp and some strong clips and magnets.
If you only have a one door dome tent, just open the back with a knife and tape off the raw edges with with gorilla tape. Then connect it to your car/truck.
@@STho205 thank you for your response. Greatly appreciated.
Did you guys try it in the rain? I read some bad reviews that it is leaky. Thank you
How long do you think stay cold in the cooler?
Is it waterproof for rain?
In light rain yes! It does come with a rain fly, but we haven't used it in strong storms yet. So if that happens we'll let you know!
Came for info on the tent, and found your review useful. Now we have questions on the mattress you are using. How thick is it? Did you get one custom for the vehicle or find one and cut to size? And where did you get it, either way? Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! We're glad you found our video helpful. We got a generic one that happened to fit in the vehicle. I just measured the length/width of the trunk and picked the size that best fit it! It's not a completely perfect fit but it's almost there and very comfortable.
Here's the exact mattress we purchased:

Let us know if you have any other questions!
Nice review, well explained.
How's it going 2 years on?
Interested in the water resistance, and strength of the fabric - any comments?
Still works well! Wouldn't recommend for heavy rain. Definitely for casual camping
Merci pour votre vidéo , hâte quelle arrive en France 😉👍
De rien! Nous sommes contents que vous aimez notre video!
How do you fold it up
If you need to drive the car .....does your carsule tent stay by itself without a car ?
Yes it does! We just posted a video on the full Carsule setup, so if you'd like to see how that works we have it all set for you! 😊
Can you close the door to your SUV (if you want to go hiking, for instance) while keeping the Carsule set up?
Yes you can! It can be closed up into its own free standing cube.
So if we left for supplies, we'd just take the magnets off the flap, zip up that back side, and we're good to go. It does also come with extra tie downs and stakes in case you leave it alone and it's windy.
In theory you could use it as a tent on its own. Maybe we'll have to try that sometime!
Thanks for watching 🙂
@@PeteGabbyTravel - Thank you!
@@My-Channel_forever Sure thing! We're thinking of doing a full, dedicated review of it in the future with all the features, nooks, and crannies which may answer more questions!
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
Thank you!😊
Is this waterproof?
Hello! When fully zipped up it is waterproof! If it's going to be heavy rain, I would recommend laying down a tarp underneath it just to get some extra protection from the ground.
I am thinking of the carsule, can you at some point show how it free stands without car in case you want to go somewhere but leave the tent up? thanks!
Thanks for watching! Yes we are definitely planning on making a video with the full setup and how it stands on its own!
We're actually in the process of moving right now so we will have it up in a couple of weeks once we're settled😊 If you want you can subscribe and you'll see it right when we post it!
(If it helps in the meantime, the Carsule does come with ropes and stakes that you can attach to each of the four corners, and the back wall also zips up, so that's how it's supported freestanding 🙂)
Not sure if asked already, but how do you feel about leaving your car open if you decide to go for a long walk? Or maybe I am just jaded, I am sure it was fine...lol.
Haha fair point. We’re fine with it, especially with where we camp. If you’re concerned, just detach the flap from the back of the car, zip up the Carsule, and lock valuables in your car with the trunk closed! We’ve done both 😊
How do you keep the lights off in the car? The ones that automatically come on when you open the back of the car?
In our car they automatically turn off after a minute or two!
If you drive off and leave the carsule set up with chairs and a little table, how hard is it to park your vehicle again so it aligns with the carsule and can be reattached?
Great question! It's a little tricky. Our car has a backup camera so it was easy to align with it. And, even with stuff inside, we were able to slide/adjust the Carsule here and there to re-attach it. And we did all of that in the dark lol
Its not insulated, but im still gonna get one 👍🏽👍🏽
There is some insulation on the inside! Reflective material which is helpful
I find this very interesting but looking around, there are SO many bad reviews for quality and people complain that they leak like a sieve in the rain. I know reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, but there are so many.
Yeah there are definitely plenty of options! We're not sponsored so we have no skin in the game, definitely go with what's best for you.
We've enjoyed it for casual camping but we haven't used it in the rain yet so we can't speak to that. And it may not be for everyone! We've used it in nice weather and for picnics
why is there no contact info on the website?
I'm not sure! We actually communicated with them through their Instagram page (@hellomogics) when we were asking questions about the Carsule. They were very responsive through there, usually within a day or two we'd get an answer to our question. I think they're just a really small company overseas because the responses were very personal and seemed to be coming from the same person.
If you message them on Instagram you can let them know you saw our video because I think they know us after we asked so many questions, lol. If you have any other questions let us know!
Wierd..thought it a scam product...it said that it would not be delivered for a month. but showed up on my door step in a week. Have not opened it yet.
@@norrispalmer3250 Oh nice! Yeah it was hard for us to find info on it as well last year. Let us know once you try it! We are hoping to film a setup video in the next week or so if that will be helpful for you. We've been crazy busy but after the response to this video we're making that a priority!
I wouldn't be able to sleep with no headroom.
It definitely takes some getting used to, sleeping in an SUV. It is pretty cozy once you're in there. If you have a setup similar to ours you could always sleep in the tent portion and have some other gear setup inside the car so you have more headroom!
This is a waste of money...you can get a full insta tent for way less and have much more space
To each their own! We've enjoyed it for the past two years, but everyone's different! 😊
Do you think this could be set up by one person alone?
Yes! We've set it up solo in the past. We are currently traveling but in a few weeks we are going to film a setup video that will show the best ways to do it!
Great Vid! Sweet Couple! Enjoyed this!
Aw thank you so much!
What is the delievery time?
Hi Norris! If I remember correctly, I think it was about a week, maybe two. Unfortunately I can't remember specifics, but I do remember being surprised that it arrived sooner than I expected it to.
I just got mine after being told it would not be till a later time....I asked for a refund...never went through...Got it...set it up...It really has been thought out. It is great for a back up to the beach or backup to a neat camping spot...and if you have a Tesla, you can Air Condition or Heat the tent without running a mother. Which we could have one that was double insullated for the mountain country.
You guys are cute.
Thanks!
I have already purchased a tent that fits over my hatchback and it is a pain in the ass to set up. I wonder if a single person could set this up by themselves under 20 minutes???? You made it look easy… But, I doubt it’s as easy as it looked in fast motion !?!
Hi Theresa! A single person can set this up in about 7-10 minutes! If you're interested, we made a video on how to set this up step by step that you can check out, that may be helpful.
We're not sponsored by this company, so if you have any questions about it we'll be honest lol
It would be great if you could show how to install the Rain Fly which I assume comes with the Carsule. All of the Videos on TH-cam showms setting up the the Carsule but not the Rain Fly which is an important aspect when it comes to camping during rainy days.
Next time we take it out we'll film a clip!
I just happened on this video. Looked like y’all were having fun. The Carsule huh. How soundproof was that?
Yeah it was a blast! This was from our first time using it, great for casual camping (not sponsored btw). Not soundproof though!
Mosquitoes and rain is goint to come in under the car...i doubt this would hold up in extreme weather
Haven't had any issues with bugs in here thankfully! Just have to make sure the magnet strips are tight. We wouldn't recommend for extreme weather either, but it holds up fine in light rain.
You guys are great! Pete you are a lucky man to have such a great lady in your life💯👍
Thank you! And yes I am extremely lucky ☺
Looking to get a rooftop tent for our car. Now waiting for info
on the Cube.
Subscribe to your channel!
Awesome, thanks so much! We also looked at the rooftop tents but felt this was more affordable for us at the moment. Both have their advantages and disadvantages of course. Have a lovely day!
@@PeteGabbyTravel
We have to be living in it for a couple of months. Apartments
and hotels are too expensive.
And I'm chemical sensitive from
odors.
Great Video!
Contacted the Company to see
if it would fit on our car.
That's great! Hopefully it works out. We've been crazy busy but can't wait to do some more trips in it later this summer/fall!
@@PeteGabbyTravel
I love the Cube for a family room and kitchen room.
