Have you ever noticed that almost overnight, the spring breeze of camping in the circle of friends is blowing all over the ground. These guys drove low-key but stable cars, basking in the sun, lying flat in the grass. Others set up pyramid-style wild luxury tents and open the parlor outdoors to enjoy the exquisite atmosphere of hand-ground coffee. Others grill outdoors, kebabs, and grill seafood. In the idyllic outdoor life, they not only enjoy the rhythm of slow life, but also experience a sense of wandering everywhere for home. The way to play camping is not mysterious, like a family home when I was a child. What we're going to share today is how to build, or customize, an exclusive camping RV. Camping point one: why the tent is not set on the ground, but on the roof of the car outdoors, with a tent is equivalent to having a home, and then all the tables, chairs, tableware are based on the "home" as the origin. Usually, tents are generally set up on the ground, such as the pyramid tent that has recently exploded in the circle of friends. But if you have a tent on the ground once, you will find that the tent on the ground is very laborious, and it may even take an hour for a small partner who is not strong in hands-on ability and weak in reading drawings. In the same way, it will be more troublesome when collecting tents. In addition, people generally set up tents for the night, and putting them on the ground will also involve safety. For example, the elusive rain in the mountains and the growing number of small animals.
Self-driving enthusiasts offer another set of more hassle-free solutions. Just like the dongfeng Peugeot new 4008 modified by the media in the picture, the tent is placed on the car and can sleep directly in the atmosphere. And because the wheelbase of the new 4008 reaches 2730mm, the interior space and roof space of the entire car have become very large, and it is easy to install a tent for people to rest. In terms of installation, the new 4008 factory comes with a roof rack, which can make the tent more secure.
The advantage of the roof tent is that it has a high degree of automation, can be opened with one button faster, and can basically be done in 5-10 minutes. The second is safety, the position of the roof tent is higher, which can avoid the visit of stagnant water and small animals. Of course, there are also small partners who will wonder whether the roof tent will be investigated by the traffic police. This, in fact, there is no need to worry, the roof tent belongs to the normal baggage loading, within the scope of the law.
Camping point two: what exactly is the canopy, and how to choose? If the tent acts as a bedroom in camping, the canopy is a simple open living room. Support a long pen, set up an awning, place a few tables and chairs, and an outdoor courtyard is arranged in a similar way. In the installation, the traditional shading canopy is huge, requires the assistance of many people, and also plays a variety of nails, which is more complicated.
In the roof tent scheme, the canopy can choose the roof as a link point and support point, simplifying the process of building and laying nails. Spend more time enjoying the outdoors instead of building and playing with gear. Because the build itself is a complex and repetitive task, it will feel fresh and interesting at first, and it will get tired after two or three times.
Enjoying a slow life outdoors is accompanied by music. The usual solution is to use a portable speaker. For example, the mobile sound of square dancing. Car camping does not require additional audio at all, and you can directly use the sound system in the car. Just like this new 4008, it is equipped with a French national treasure Focal Sound, with a 515-watt 10-channel sound system. Camping point three: safe to take out, safe to bring back to camp outdoors, the car also needs a certain light off-road ability, so that you can go deeper, closer to nature. For the car, it needs to have sufficient power and adaptability to multiple road conditions.
In the power guarantee of outdoor travel, this new 4008 is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 155kW, a maximum output torque of 300N·m, and a 8AT gearbox imported by Aisin. There is no problem with either the abundance of power or the reliability of the gearbox. In terms of multi-road adaptability, the 4008 provides a unique enhanced GripControl multi-road adaptation system, rotating the road condition mode knob, you can select the corresponding road conditions such as highways, snow, wetlands, sand and so on. The new 4008 is also equipped with Bosch's latest ESP9.3 electronic stability system, which is characterized by fast running speed, low energy consumption, and more delicate body dynamic control. As the world's first car company to use pneumatic tires, the e-Primacy series of tires launched by Michelin, the global leader in tire technology, adopts pressure distribution homogenization technology to improve the contact area between tires and the ground, and the grounding stress of the tires can be evenly distributed during vehicle acceleration, braking and cornering, ensuring the stability of the vehicle's handling.
Finally, reliability and driving pleasure. The campervan must be the kind that can take you out safely, bring you back safely. The new 4008 is not a niche model, as a global hit it has sold more than 1 million vehicles worldwide, and has achieved the second best result in the SUV market in 2021 in Europe.
As a world-renowned "sports family", Peugeot has nearly 130 years of racing history, having won four 24 Hours of Le Mans, five WRC World Rally Championships and seven DakarRally Dakar Rally titles. A glorious track legend that injects a proud racing DNA into the new 4008 chassis. Under the adjustment of cldr professional chassis team, peugeot 4008 has carried out a full range of 7 months of debugging of more than 20 typical road surfaces in China and Europe, including vibration comfort, steering pleasure, corner handling, high-speed stability, ESC performance and other items to ensure the vehicle's handling performance in various environments and road surfaces.
Some people think that the car is a symbol of status and status, and some people think that the car is a means of transportation. For people who like camping, the car is more like an extension of home, using the car as a house, driving to the exotic mountains and rivers, everywhere for home, is the pastoral romanticism in the bones of Chinese. If you're interested in the brand new 4008, you can go and experience it in-store. At present, Peugeot's new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition adopts a direct sales model, the official direct price is only 167,700 yuan, and provides a 1.8T engine and Aisin 8AT, and then with a roof tent, a list of camping, and you imagine the far away, to have a simple and easy intimate contact.
