Camping is a popular form of outdoor recreation practiced worldwide, with different individuals and
groups utilizing various transportation, equipment, and values. This report aims to identify the diverse
types of campers and their needs, with the goal of finding a solution that can fit into Thule‘s product
portfolio. The report considers factors such as the intended location, transportation, purpose of the
trip, and gear carried by campers, as well as current market trends and available products.

To ensure a sustainable need for a new product, the report narrows its focus on future changes in society and the environment, including the predicted growth of renting over owning cars. The trend of vanlife also poses an opportunity, with many people buying and rebuilding special vehicles for
camping purposes. However, some individuals prefer a more minimalistic approach and require a solution that doesn‘t require physical alterations to their vehicle.

To identify pain points and potential solutions, questionnaires were distributed to individuals who dislike camping. The results showed that many desire a comfortable sleeping surface and minimal
planning. To address these issues, the report aims to develop a product that allows for camping inside a vehicle without sacrificing space or comfort. The ultimate goal is to provide a solution that meets the needs of all types of campers, whether they prefer a more traditional camping experience
or a more minimalistic approach. (Less)
