We spend an enormous amount of time of
our lives inside our cars (a whopping 17,600 average per year), so
it's only natural to customize our cars in order to make them more
comfortable and practical. One such way to do this, is with
car
accessories online. You
can find an assortment of products and gadgets that can help both
your day to day and camping life. Here is a list of the most useful
accessories that you must have in your vehicle.
Accessories to Use for Your Day-to-Day Drive
A Holding Stand for Your Phone
First of all, I would like to say that
I do not support using your phone while driving, except for
legitimate reasons such as GPS. Now with that said, there are a few
types of phone holders to chose from.
There are suction cups to mount on your
wind-shield, but those are not recommended as they can decrease your
field of view and act as a distraction.
Then there are the air vent mountable
phone holders, these can be good but are a no-go for hot weather when
you need the A/C.
The best type of phone holder that I
would recommend is the cup holder. It helps keep your phone
stationary, of to the side, so that you can still use your GPS and
not worry about your phone flying off.
Dog Car Harness
If you are travelling with your lovely
pet companion then you'd want to protect that as well. But since most
safety buckles aren't appropriate for dogs, you will have to turn to
car accessories online for a dog harness. Dog Harnesses are much like
baby harness, they are dressed around the dogs chest, and buckled to
the seat.
Phone Charger With a Head-Up Display
If you are using your phone for an
extended period of time, such as you would do on a few-days trip,
your phone will require charging. One solution to this is a wireless
charging panel, but of course not all phones support them. For other
phones types there are charging stations that offer a head-up
display. The head-up display can be a very useful feature as it
functions as a make-shift HUG display. Using a mirror it reflects
everything that is on your phone, like the GPS navigation screen.
Accessories to Use for Camping Trips
A Cooler/Portable Fridge
This is an essential element to bring
along for any camping trip in the summer. Coolers can keep your
beverages and beers cold, while keeping your meats and sandwiches
from spoiling. Because at the end of the day, there is nothing better
then
crackinga cold one with the boys over a campfire.
Rooftop Tents
When you're camping out into the wild
it can be a once in a life-time experience, filled with nature and
wonder. But the wonder slowly fades when night falls and you realise
that you have to sleep outside with all sorts of animals around you.
Well do not panic, if your car can support a rooftop tent, you can
simply mount it on top of your car, away from all the danger.
Cargo Box
When you're on a road-trip, you don't
want to be crammed up like a pack of sardines inside your vehicle.
But there are so many essentials you need to bring, that you might
think there is not other option but to accept your faith. Well there
is, cargo boxes can the mounted on top of your vecihle and can be
used to store all your baggage. This will not only save you leg room,
but add a significant amount of extra space to your vehicle (if you
are combing this with the rooftop tent, you will need to store it
inside the vehicle while not in use).
