Truck camping blends the freedom of the open road with the comforts of home-on-wheels and the right accessories take that experience from good to legendary. Whether you’re blazing remote backcountry routes, chasing sandy lakeshores, or exploring sleepy towns, outfitting your rig with purpose-built gear means less fuss and more adventure.
We’ve rounded up our favorite truck camping must-haves, plus the Kingstar truck camper accessories designed to fit seamlessly on your UP-crafted camper. Let’s dive in!
Quick & Easy Camp Setup
Your time belongs on the trail, not wrestling with levelers or tangled tarps. These essential truck camper accessories will get you camped and comfortable in record time:
- Camper Chocks: Slide these under your wheels to lock everything in place. No more back-and-forth cranking or worrying your camper will roll.
- Awning & Stakes: A proper awning transforms your campsite into an instant outdoor living room. If you’re on a budget, a tarp, poles, and durable stakes work—just know a premade awning saves major setup time.
- Leveling Blocks:Stackable, lightweight, and able to handle heavy loads, leveling blocks make it easy to get your rig perfectly flat on uneven ground.
Protect Your Tow Rig
Your truck is the unsung hero of every truck camper adventure. Keep it looking and running its best with these protective upgrades:
- Mud Flaps: Say goodbye to rock-chip battle scars. Quality mud flaps block road spray and debris, preserving your paint job through gravel highways.
- Fender Flares: Go big on wheels and tires without worrying about spray and stones hitting your panels. Fender flares give you extra coverage and a rugged look.
- Floor Liners & Cargo Mats: Load up with muddy boots, wet gear, or beach towels, and hose it clean in seconds. Heavy-duty liners trap dirt and water so your truck stays showroom-fresh.
Be Ready for Anything
In the wild, “just in case” gear is essential. While you may not think of these as truck camper accessories, if you stash these items in your rig, and you’ll thank yourself later:
- Jumper Cables: Dead battery? No problem. A solid set of cables or a portable jump starter keeps you rolling without relying on strangers.
- Fire Extinguisher: Campfires and cooking mishaps happen. A compact extinguisher can stop a small blaze before it becomes a disaster.
- First Aid Kit: Cuts, scrapes, and bee stings don’t wait for your nearest clinic. A well-stocked kit plus basic first-aid know-how means you can handle most mishaps on the spot.
- Paper Maps/Atlas: Cell service can vanish without warning. A physical map of your region keeps you on track when GPS goes dark.
- Power Bank (Solar-Ready): Keep phones, headlamps, and cameras charged, no campsite outlet required. We love solar-charged units for true off-grid freedom.
- Recovery Gear: Sand, mud, or snow trapping your rig? A compact off-road shovel and traction boards can haul you out of tight spots without a tow.
