The rates of mental illnesses in Australia are rising rapidly. With the stress of day to day living in modern Australia, many feel the urge to get away from the city and relax. With the current status of the pandemic, international travel is severely limited, camping as a holiday option is more popular than ever. Some of those considering have never been camping before and need all the assistance they can get, especially regarding equipment storage and transfer.

When camping, taking the required equipment in an easily accessible and organised way is invaluable. Keeping this equipment in the back of a car or 4WD is logical, but it isn't easy to access, so a system is required. But how does one system cater for a range of car body shapes, from a hatchback to a sedan or a 4WD? Enter the Camping Cube, a system that provides a range of storage configurations to fit in any car.

The Camping Cube is an easy to use and efficient, and customisable storage system that minimises the clutter and chaos that often occurs whilst camping, providing the opportunity for a more relaxing and comfortable camping holiday.
