Convertible Truck Tent

Brand: Freelance

Role: Lead Designer

This concept originated from a simple idea: making the most of limited space while camping. I sewed a set of magnetic panels that transform a truck bed into a protected, comfortable sleeping area. The panels snap securely into place, connecting seamlessly with a rooftop tent to create one unified shelter. Built from UV-resistant fabric and featuring integrated no-fly mesh windows, the setup provides both shade and airflow without the need for a rainfly. The result is a flexible camping system that increases the functionality of the trucks bed.
