Technical Data

1. Floor dimensions
The floor is constructed of a very light and extremely strong two-skin aluminium honeycomb composite panel used in aircraft. It measures 1800mm by 940mm when closed and expands out to be 1800mm by 2020mm.

2. Roof dimensions
The highest point on the closed cocoon measures 470mm and it unfolds to provide 1720mm standing height.

3. Storage dimensions
When stored on its wheels (like a cupboard), EzyCamp measures 2250mm high, 1.03m wide and 470mm deep.

4. Weight
EzyCamp's ‘Standard kit' weighs just less than 90kg, the ‘Awning kit' weighs approximately 6kg and the ‘Accessory kit' weighs approximately 22kgs.

5. Roof rack requirements

 

5.1 How do I know if my car can carry EzyCamp?
All roof racks have to comply with your Countries Bureau of Standards requirements. These standards determine the maximum weight a roof rack can carry while a vehicle is travelling. All roof rack manufacturers are required to publish the maximum amount of carrying capacity for different vehicles whilst in motion. Information relating to your specific vehicle's motion carrying capacity can be found on the roof rack manufacturers' websites, or email us at sales@ezycamp.com for further information. The ‘EzyCamp Standard Kit' weighs just less than 90kg and can be fitted on all vehicles whose roof racks allow for this weight whilst in motion. If you have existing roof racks, confirm their in motion carrying capacity with your roof rack manufacturer.

5.2 How many roof racks will I need to carry EzyCamp?
Three. If your vehicle cannot accommodate 3 roof racks (as illustrated in the photo's), you can use 2 roof racks together with our unique tow bar support, which replaces the need for a third roof rack.

5.3 I drive a small car, can I still use EzyCamp?
Yes, provided your vehicle's roof racks have an in motion weight bearing capacity of 90kg. If your vehicle cannot accommodate 3 roof racks, you can use 2 roof racks together with our unique tow bar support, which replaces the need for a third roof rack.

5.4 Are there preferred roof rack mountings?
We only recommend 3 types of mountings:

•  factory mounting points already installed by the vehicle manufacturer;
•  gutter mountings already installed by the vehicle manufacturer;
•  channel mountings provided by a roof rack manufacturer, riveted as close as possible to the roof's curvature. We don't recommend the use of any other type of mountings.

5.5 My roof racks are not a meter wide, can I still use EzyCamp?
Yes. Extensions are available from EzyCamp to lengthen roof racks which are shorter than 980mm. For further information, contact us at sales@ezycamp.com

5.6 How many people can sleep in EzyCamp?
EzyCamp expands to a super king-size bed (1800mm by 2020mm) when fully erected, accommodating 2 adults and 2 children comfortably.

5.7 But 2 adults and 2 children weigh more than 90kg.
The minimum 90kg weight requirement only relates to vehicles in motion. Australian Standards don't regulate the maximum weight capacity of roof racks whilst the vehicle is stationary. However, they do require the manufacturers to conduct a range of tests at approximately 4 times the motion rated amount whilst stationary (e.g. 4 x 90kg = 360kg). For additional peace of mind and safety, approximately half of the occupied weight is transferred to the ground via EzyCamp's sturdy ladder.


6. Motor
The motor is driven by a standard 12 volt car battery; it draws less than 10 amps and takes under 30 seconds to fully expand the EzyCamp ready for occupation or to fully contract the expanded EzyCamp back into its outer covers ready for lock down and storage.

7. Outer Covers
The outer covers are vacuum formed out of acrylic caped UV protected ABS plastic sheeting with a self adhesive rubber seal fitted to the roof seal face. The rubber seal provides a dust and rain water seal between the covers whilst they are locked together. In harsh dust road conditions it is recommended that the roof and base edgings are taped closed to ensure a 100% dust seal.

8. Canvas
The canvas is 65% polyester and 35% cotton treated with a wax impregnated chemical formulation that provides the waterproof and water-repellent characteristics of the fabric. It is resistant against degradation from harmful UV rays, bacteria, algae and fungi growth
