Right here at CleanTechnica, we’re all about utilizing electrical automobiles in as some ways as doable and with Tesla’s Camp Mode, their automobiles have turn out to be standard for weekend warriors highway, trippers and full-time campers alike.
We’ve been following the Residing In Tesla YouTube channel since creator and host Jimmy Cheung launched it. After many uncomfortable highway journeys, we even constructed up a copycat setup for our personal Tesla Mannequin Y Efficiency which required many days and weeks of effort. This morning, Jimmy’s design firm Fruble Fabrication launched a pre-cut, pre-drilled DIY equipment to allow anybody to construct their very personal Tesla Mannequin Y tenting setup with minimal instruments.

Jimmy constructed his first Tesla Mannequin Y tenting equipment a couple of yr in the past and documented the whole course of in an in depth YouTube video. Since then, many individuals have adopted alongside his detailed documentary and constructed the same equipment for their very own automobile. That is nonetheless a fantastic possibility for these curious about studying carpentry or with a carpentry background, however talking for my very own private expertise, it was a ton of effort and got here with plenty of learnings and extra software purchases which may not be within the funds for everybody.
Fielding feedback from viewers and DIYers during the last yr, Jimmy went seeking an answer for these searching for an answer requiring much less effort and leading to a extra constant product. After months of struggles, the outcomes was a customized and minimize DIY equipment to allow much more individuals to make use of their Tesla Mannequin Ys for tenting. The Full Fruble Camper Package is a good praise to Jimmy’s first product that gave his firm its identify, the frunk desk or Fruble for brief.

The Full Fruble Camper Package is a 31-piece equipment that has been precision minimize and pre-drilled. After meeting, the equipment is a big performance improve for the Tesla Mannequin Y, including a set of mulifunction utility drawers to the rear hatch space of the automotive. These drawers might be put in even with the rear seats up and host a camp kitchen, pop up sink, and a few storage.
When it’s time to go tenting, the rear seats are folded down with two drawers from the equipment put in on high, reworking the rear of the Tesla Mannequin Y 5-seater right into a flat sleeping platform.
The equipment takes all of Jimmy’s learnings from dwelling in his Tesla Mannequin 3 and now in his Tesla Mannequin Y full-time to bear. This new product was designed particularly for the Tesla Mannequin Y 5 seater, together with the Efficiency version, and never solely makes tenting, straightforward and practical, it ensures you’re nonetheless in a position to make use of the decrease rear trunk space for storage.
From the video hosted on Kickstarter, the equipment seems extraordinarily properly thought out and having watched and adopted alongside Jimmy’s DIY video from his preliminary construct a yr in the past, he pays a ton of consideration to high quality. This high quality is obvious within the equipment and at simply $1,500 Canadian together with delivery on the Kickstarter, it appears like a cut price in comparison with lots of the different greater value kits on the market for overlanding automobiles. Granted it is a DIY equipment however as the one tenting equipment of its form for the Tesla Mannequin Y, it opens tons of doorways for much more individuals seeking to journey of their Teslas.
