3 Volvo accessories for camping this summer

Undeniably, we're entering the best season for Volvo drivers who enjoy mountain biking (or hiking), canyoning, paddle boarding or simply camping for a weekend, solo, in pairs or with the family.

And for the latter, we've got accessories specially adapted to the Volvo - including a brand-new one that's sure to satisfy your bivouac cravings.


Why camp with Volvo accessories?

You regularly ask us whether buying third-party accessories is a good idea, especially when the features seem more suited to your needs or the price is better.

In practice, retailer accessories can be of very good quality, and it would be misleading to think that they can't meet your expectations. However, Volvo accessories specifically meet quality, safety and compatibility standards that the brand has been imposing for years.

For example, some of our accessories are tested according to the “city crash” procedure, which simulates a collision in an urban environment with a maximum roof load of 100 kg.


The 3 Volvo accessories for camping this summer 

That said, let's take a look at the Volvo accessories common to our entire range. Stay to the end of the article, because the last one is brand new.



Roof storage basket + extension

Even if the boot volumes of our Volvos meet your needs in terms of space, camping in our regions requires equipment that is sometimes bulky: 



  • Tent
  • Sleeping bag
  • Mattresses
  • Stove and fuel
  • Kitchen utensils
  • etc

That's why our roof rack is undoubtedly the 1st accessory you need to think about. Thanks to a low profile with wedge-shaped side walls for easy loading, you can increase your load capacity from 57 to 68kg, depending on your car model.

What's more, if your Volvo is big enough, you can add a roof rack extension that increases the length of the roof rack by 50 centimeters.

Storage box for towing hook hitch

If you prefer not to clutter up your roof with accessories, there's another solution if you need cargo space - the hitch storage box.


From an aerodynamic point of view, a storage box is preferable to a roof box, as it sits protected behind the car, reducing your aerodynamic drag and therefore your average fuel consumption.

What's more, the bin's capacity is on a par with that of a roof rack, which can hold 400 liters for a maximum load weight of 50kg.

Roof-mounted tent

Since June 2024, the Volvo range has been enhanced by a brand new accessory: the soft-shell roof tent.

Tested and approved for Volvo cars equipped with roof rails and bars, this tent can accommodate 2 to 3 people, who will sleep comfortably on a plush mattress. 


As an added bonus, a panoramic window lets you watch nature from the comfort of your tent. And don't worry about mosquitoes: the window is fitted with a mosquito net. You can ventilate your tent without being attacked.

Setting up and unfolding the tent is child's play. Remove the cover, use the ladder, and the tent unfolds by itself.

Tested in extreme conditions of humidity, temperature, wind and rain, and even in collisions, this tent is ideal for Volvo cars with a maximum static roof weight of 300 kg. 

In short, it's the perfect accessory for a bivouac in complete safety and comfort.
