A special kind of tent material,
that is without equal
One of the most important parts of a 3DOG camping tent is the canvas, which gives
unmatched protection against wind and weather. Australian tent canvas is a fabric
that has proven its worth over many decades. It’s extremely resilient, breathable and
weather-resistant, and is one of the main reasons our tents have such a long life. You
can instantly feel the quality of this material.
A wealth of experience and specialised equipment are needed to process this high-quality
material, which is why 3DOG camping produces in-house in its Hamburg facility. Under
the watchful eye of a master sailmaker, the best of Australian outdoor tradition and
unique German craftsmanship unite in our high-tech sewing room.

PHILOSOPHY
Tents that grow as you do
The flexibility of modular design
You change over the course of your life, and so do the requirements you have of your tent.
First you’re travelling solo or going away with friends. Then kids come along, those kids get
bigger, and eventually they too go off on their own ...
A particular feature of our tent trailers and rooftop tents is the ease with which they can
be extended, to meet the new demands placed on them. Even after many years of use, your
3DOG camping tent can be adapted to suit your own personal needs. All manner of extensions
and fixtures, from living room to kitchen, can be added on at any time.
06
The modular design of 3DOG camping tents
The main tent, erected in minutes in just a
few easy steps, is usually all you need for an
overnight stay. All models function according
to the same simple principle.
The add-on tents consist of modular components, so
you choose what to build on – maybe just an awning
to protect against the sun, maybe individual walls as
shelter against the wind or even a self-contained room.
3DOG CAMPING
PHILOSOPHY
Setting up your tent
Quick and easy
You’ll be amazed how simple it is to set up and take down
a 3DOG camping tent. Just pull on the top piece of
fabric and an entire spacious tent folds out! Then
simply secure the frame with the special fasteners
... job done.
Taking down the tent is just as simple. The tent folds back onto the platform, leaving
masses of storage space under it for your gear. The bedding stays on the large sleeping
surface, ready for the next night. So no more tiresome cramming of sleeping bags
into stuff bags!
Let’s face it: holidaying in the great outdoors means you are going to get varied conditions,
and probably wet weather from time to time. Even when wet, your tent can be
packed away as usual, without you having to worry about the inside getting
damp too.

Functional design –
From tent trailer to transporter
By simply removing the tent, you can convert any of our trailers, from the unbraked road trailer
through to the OffRoader, to a flexible means of transport. With just a few simple steps, the
platform can be removed from the trailer. The kitchen module can also be detached just as
easily. In fact, this is a patented invention of 3DOG camping.

TrailDog
Room aplenty,
for unforgettable family holidays
The TrailDog is the roomiest tent of the pack. The extra large eleven square metre main tent can be
divided up to meet your needs; for example, to create an additional room for the kids. Despite its
size, setting up and taking down the TrailDog is as quick and easy as with other models. Add-on
tents are also available, which can increase the overall living area to as much as 36 square metres.
With 3DOG camping, it’s all about the detail. The special window design, for instance,
allows tents to be securely closed. The soft PVC window material is exceptionally
flexible yet also highly durable. The finely woven mosquito nets in the doors and windows
keep out even the tiniest of insects. Made from extremely rugged PVC-coated polyester
mesh, they ensure the entire tent remains an insect-free zone.
The practical guy ropes secure the tents in a wonderfully simple way, while protecting
against high winds and gusts due to the robust stainless steel springs, which reduce
overall strain on the tent material.

It’s in the bag.
The cosy bed – and living area that extends out sideways – create a full nine

stays dry, even when setting up and taking down the tent at lightning speed.
Using an add-on tent, you can easily increase the living area of the ScoutDog
by an extra ten square metres.
The coated zips make sure moisture never gets into the tent: 3DOG camping
only uses YKK zips which contain a fungicide, are water-repellent and are
recognised for their extreme robustness. They work faultlessly even when
subjected to extreme loads.
It’s this kind of attention to detail that makes 3DOG camping products unique.
Care is taken to round off the edges of aluminium parts, for example, to avoid
damage to the tent fabric.

Whether it’s surfing, sailing, climbing, diving or hang-gliding, the TopDog is ideal
for anyone looking to break free from everyday life with a maximum of spontaneity
and a minimum of fuss.

TopDog
The first rooftop tent
to offer a self-contained living space
Damp and condensation are never a worry in the TopDog, thanks to a fully integrated floor in the living area and
all-round enclosed walls. When it’s lovely and warm outside, you can remove the walls and floor in just a few
simple steps, to make an airy sleeping quarters with a large awning. As with other models, the cover of TopDog’s
panoramic window provides extra shade when the sun comes out.
An additional sun-shade, covering the area behind
the vehicle, can be incorporated to extend the
living space of the TopDog.
OUR TENTS
ROOFTOP TENT TOPDOG
As on the trailer tents, the windows in the TopDog consist of three layers: mosquito net,
window foil and canvas. The doors, too, can be made insect-proof or closed with fabric,
allowing the temperature of the room to be adjusted depending on the prevailing weather.
A partition wall is available for the TopDog, which can be used between the bedroom and
living space as an enclosed wall, or as a protection against insects.
A conventional roof rack is used to secure
the TopDog to your car’s roof. The maximum
roof load, as recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer, is usually to be found in the
owner‘s manual. It’s important that you don’t
exceed this limit.

This information applies only to the load during the
journey. When the vehicle is stationary, a higher load
on the roof may be permissible, due to the absence
of braking forces, crosswinds, etc. Proper installation
will ensure no damage occurs to your vehicle, even
with more than two people in the sleeping area.
Close to heaven,
yet right down to earth
While driving you’ll hardly notice the compact package on top of your car. This rooftop
tent is especially appealing for those who value their comfort, but whose tow-bar is
normally hooked up to a boat trailer, horsebox or similar.
Once you arrive at your destination, TopDog folds out into a comfortable living space.
The large sleeping area, with an ultra-comfortable 8 cm thick mattress, can be accessed
with ease using the ladder. The possibility to close the tent on all sides allows you to
create a cosy cocoon inside, even if the weather is raging outside.

Additional living space with the
add-on tent for trailer tents
The additional room provided by the add-on tent makes a great deal of sense, especially for families. It means that
the kitchen area at the rear of the trailer is not constantly occupied, and can be freed up as a play area, for example,
with the kitchen module disappearing into the trailer.
With the modular system developed for 3DOG camping tent trailers, the living space can also be extended at a later
stage. This exceptional flexibility is thanks to a clever design, made possible by special zips.
Another aspect of this flexibility is the way in which the add-on tent need not be used as a single space, but can be
divided up with additional walls as required. For instance, when it’s very hot you can install a large awning in front
of the tent. In windy conditions, you might add on a wall, while on chilly evenings you can opt for the comfort and
protection of a fully-enclosed living space.
The kitchen alcove –
the add-on tent’s baby brother
If you decide you don’t really need an addon tent, but do require extra protection
in poor weather conditions, this optional
awning for the kitchen area is the answer.
Additionally, the kitchen alcove can be
used as a sun-shade on the opposite side
of the tent.
EQUIPMENT
SLEEPING QUARTERS
As you make your bed,
so shall you lie on it
At 1.8 x 2.2 metres, the generous sleeping quarters promise sweet dreams, as if you were in your own bed
at home. The standard mattress, 10 cm thick, with a durable cover and extra quilting, provides a very high
degree of comfort. The mattress is made specially for 3DOG camping by a leading German manufacturer.
If you’re looking for something even more comfortable, or if for health reasons you put particular importance
on good support, we have just the bed for you – a luxurious cold foam mattress with a quilted double-layer
Medicott cover combined with a sprung base which adapts to the contours of the body.
28
Room to breathe
Airy, open, bright and homely ...
The unique design, light roof colours and generous window areas of 3DOG camping tents make for an exceptional
living environment. With their integrated floor, the main tent of the trailer tent or the rooftop tent create a fully
enclosed space, reducing condensation from the outset. This design concept cuts out the need for any further
internal tents.
The large windows and doors, which make up over half the wall areas, ensure plenty of ventilation in hot weather.
The fine-mesh mosquito nets in all these openings guarantee excellent protection against insects. Camping is a
pleasure in all weather conditions in a tent that creates such an excellent climate inside.
A flexible floor plan
Installed in just a few simple steps, the room divider transforms your living space. The divider is placed
directly in front of the large bed in the trailer and is closed with either the canvas or a mosquito net.
This makes your living quarters even more comfortable, and offers additional protection against insects.
The TrailDog has a similar room divider, again to create a large separate sleeping area in the main tent.
EQUIPMENT
KITCHEN MODULE
A fully equipped kitchen,
complete and ready to cook
The kitchen module in the 3DOG camping tent trailer is also manufactured
in our Hamburg factory. The combined stove and sink unit saves lots of space
and is very easy to use. Water in the cooking area runs away into the sink just
like in your kitchen at home, with taps installed below the cover, for added
protection. All kitchen equipment is carefully integrated, and there is
plenty of space under the unit for your cooking utensils.
The 24-piece crockery set in high quality unbreakable melamine is
stored in a dedicated holdall and fits perfectly into the kitchen module’s
storage compartment.
30
A passion for travel
with a taste for good food
Planning to cook a candlelit dinner for someone special? Or
just fancy a quick cup of coffee? No worries. Open the rear
door of your tent trailer and you’re all set to go – with a
kitchen unit that comes complete with gas supply and running
water. When you’re finished, the kitchen simply disappears
and folds back into the trailer.
In the kitchen module you’ll find everything you need to
make cooking the pleasure it should be. The sink is just the
right size for cleaning vegetables and for washing up afterwards.
It is made from stainless steel, as is the double-burner gas
stove. In an instant, an impact- and heat-resistant glass cover
turns it into a practical worktop, which can be extended
further with a table.
If the trailer is being used for transport purposes, or if you
don’t need to cook on a trip, the kitchen module can easily
be removed in just a few simple steps. During a journey it
rests securely on strong stainless steel rails.
Technology that you’ll love using
The kitchen module operates completely independently, with an integrated gas and water supply.
The gas cooker uses Campingaz ® cylinders that
are available practically anywhere in the world
and which are placed in the storage area of the
kitchen module.
A powerful triple membrane pressure pump
supplies fresh water directly from the water tank.
This durable PE tank was developed specially by
3DOG camping and is produced without seams,
for added hygiene and an extra-long life. Holding
40 litres, it is installed under the trailer floor to
save space and reduce the centre of gravity. It is
filled through a lockable tank cap on the outside
of the bulkhead. Amazingly, the unit is powerful
enough to pump water directly from a nearby
lake. A built-in filter ensures the necessary protection from particles, while an integrated battery
compartment provides electricity for the pump.
EQUIPMENT
ORGANISER
German organisation,
interpreted by 3DOG camping
If you choose to holiday with a tent trailer, you can expect some pretty amazing outdoor
adventures. But what about all those personal items you bring along on your travels?
Suntan lotion, travel guide, wristwatch, mobile phone, torch – campers know how
much stuff they need, and how easy it is to misplace it in the tent. 3DOG camping
has come up with a very practical solution for keeping things tidy, wherever you venture.
32
The principle is a simple one: integrated all along
the walls of the main tent, inside the room dividers
and even on the roof of the add-on tent, you’ll find
Velcro strips to which special pockets and hooks
can be attached.
Small boxes for your bits and pieces, racks for your
newspapers and magazines and hooks for your jackets
or towels ... suddenly everything has a place, and is
no longer so prone to getting lost!
At last you have a home for those provisions, spices,
wooden spoons and washing up liquid. Once again,
it is the little details that stand out: care has been
taken to manufacture the bottom of the pockets in
transparent film so that none of the contents are
hidden from view.

The stuff which dreams are made of
Only premium-quality Australian canvas is used by 3DOG camping, ensuring your tent is
ideally suited to a complete range of climatic demands. Meaning it’s just as at home in the
dry heat of the Outback, the high humidity of the tropics, or the chilly nights of the Scottish
Highlands. In fact, our comparatively mild European weather is like a holiday for this material!
This composite fabric, which is an intelligent blend of cotton and polyester, meets the toughest
demands that can be placed on a tent material. It combines the advantages of natural fibre
with those of a modern synthetic material. The result is a strong, breathable canvas with a
pleasant look and feel, which sets the benchmark for strength and stability.
During the manufacturing process, special double-twined yarns are tightly interwoven. The
weave is thoroughly cleaned and all natural and process-related residues, which could damage
the fabric, are removed. High quality components are used for the finishing of the fabric, to
ensure ultimate protection against weathering, fungal and mould infestation, discolouring,
water ingress and UV rays.
The finishing process is such that the material isn’t just sealed on the surface – because this
could lead to brittleness and poor breathability. Instead, using a large immersion bath, the
protective substances are impregnated deep into the fabric. This special approach guarantees
a long material life and lasting protection.
3DOG camping canvas is waterproof under a water column of up to 750 mm – impressive
credentials for a cotton/polyester composite fabric! In other words, however much it buckets
down outside, inside your tent stays perfectly dry. A tear strength of up to 1,800 N, combined
with a high resistance to weathering and super-durability, make this canvas the ideal material
for a tent that will last and perform well season after season.

Your perfect tent
3DOG camping manufactures every tent individually, and offers a wide
choice of colours for the walls and roof. The roof should be a light colour, as
this prevents the tent from becoming unpleasantly hot when the sun shines.

POLES
Tough matters
Poles you can rely on, in two variations
The standard 3DOG camping tent frame consists of galvanised steel tubing finished in a
fusion-bonded chrome-VI-free coating. This innovative surface finish offers a high level of
corrosion-resistance and a pleasant look and feel.
It is uncompromisingly engineered and optimised for stability and easy handling. For ease
of use and to avoid surface damage, high quality PowerGrip fasteners – made from glass-fibre
reinforced plastic – are supplied too.
36
Bespoke stainless steel poles
for 3DOG camping tents
Exclusive to 3DOG camping, our trailer tents and rooftop tents are also
available with beautifully crafted stainless steel poles. They offer superior
protection against corrosion, and the stability of the tent frame is increased
by 30%. With their highly polished surface, these stainless steel poles will
really have heads turning!
EQUIPMENT
ROAD TRAILER BASE
3DOG camping road trailers
Strong, dependable companions
You’ve a choice of various special trailers for the ScoutDog and TrailDog, all
of which will impress with their rugged construction and outstanding quality.
Galvanised steel, stainless steel and anodised aluminium are used in the
manufacture of the trailer, while the flooring is made of waterproof multi-layer
wooden laminate. All other components, right down to the smallest bolt,
are of stainless steel or similar quality.
For road use, there is an unbraked trailer with an approved all up weight of
750 kg and its big brother, with brakes, capable of 1,000 kg.
As standard:
• Extra strong chassis thanks to rugged V tow-bar design and large tyres
• Maintenance-free rubber sprung axle with independent suspension
• Fully anodised aluminium construction
• Robust stabiliser and durable rear supports
• Prepared for tarpaulin structures and similar
• Lightweight with high load capacity
• Excellent driving characteristics and approved for
speeds of up to 100 km/h on German roads
38
From tent to transporter,
exclusive to 3DOG camping
Far more durable than conventional tent trailers, all 3DOG camping trailers
can also be quickly converted to transport trailers. The tent platform can be
removed very easily from the trailer, allowing it to be used for a multitude of
other tasks.
Even when the tent is still on top, the stowage
area in the trailer can be accessed comfortably
via a large hatch under the mattress or the
lockable rear door. Everything is at hand at all
times, and you can access exactly what you need.
The trailer’s stowage capacity is a mighty 1,280
litres. And as the tent platform is anchored to
the top of the trailer, it takes up no space
beneath it. So there’s masses of room for your
camping kit and other luggage.
EQUIPMENT
OFF ROAD TRAILER BASE
3DOG camping OffRoader
Not for the faint-hearted
Big boots do not make a walker, and big tyres alone don’t make an off-road vehicle.
Each component of this trailer is engineered for optimal off-road ability and durability.
On top of this, it has an impressive empty weight.
Specially manufactured, super-strong axles and brake drums support the extreme
loads experienced during off-road driving. To protect against mud and dust the
OffRoader is fitted with a maintenance-free rubber sprung axle and waterproof
wheel hubs which never need lubrication. With its torsionally rigid chassis and the
reinforced box construction, the OffRoader is one companion you can bank on
when the going gets really tough.
For wilderness trips, hundreds of miles from the next
garage, the wheels of every OffRoader can on request
be matched to those of your towing vehicle, meaning
you only need one spare wheel size. Likewise, the
standard ball and socket coupling can be very easily
replaced with a DIN or NATO eyelet.
An OffRoader with European type approval
While this trailer was designed with extreme off-road terrain in mind, it meets every
demand placed on a modern vehicle in everyday road conditions. Its special EU approval
guarantees hassle-free registration in all EU countries.
What’s more, the EU approval even covers the possibility of customising the trailer
for specific needs, and fitting the rims to match those of your towing vehicle. In fact,
an impressive range of 4,784 different tyre and rim combinations (from 682 to 840 mm
in diameter) meet the German Federal Motor Vehicle Transport Authority approval.
No standard production trailer can match that!
3DOG camping cinema – OffRoader in action: www.extrem.3DOGcamping.eu
OffRoader Black Edition
As tough as it looks.
The first tent trailer available in Europe to be engineered for extreme
off-road terrain is now available in a distinctive special ‘Black Edition’
look. The black anodised box structure and wheel arches in sheet
aluminium make an exciting contrast to the hot-dip galvanised elements
of the special chassis.
The OffRoader Black Edition’s dynamic rear end will also have heads
turning – with light supports and robust fittings in glass-bead blasted stainless steel and the tent parts fitted with a rugged black
cover.
Superior performance
• 380 mm ground clearance
• 570 mm wading depth
• 32° angle of slope
• 45° side inclination
• 570 mm coupling height
• Tyres matched to those of the towing vehicle

Even more storage space
with trailer accessories
Bikes, among other things, can be transported on the extra long drawbar of
the 3DOG camping trailer, which travels in the slipstream of the towing vehicle.
This saves fuel and allows the tent to be set up without having to remove items
on the drawbar. Two systems are available: a securely fitted bike rack or a
drawbar box.
The extremely tough drawbar box offers additional space for the kind of things
you always need when setting up camp: cables, gas cylinders, clothes pegs, tools ...
The winch system for removing the tent platform lifts up to 500 kg and can be
mounted on a garage wall or ceiling.
• Robust, waterproof drawbar box made from strong
fully anodised sheet aluminium (100 x 40 x 36 cm)
• Canister holder in glass-bead blasted stainless steel with
black painted 20 litre canister and strong retaining belts
• Aluminium wheel rims for road trailers
• Lashing rail system with tension belts for storage box
• Safe for installation in the storage box (50 x 36 x 17 cm)
• Drawbar trestle for use as bike rack

LOAD CARRIER
For the bigger
things in life
The ability to carry bulky loads such as canoes, bikes and other equipment on
3DOG camping tent trailers was always top of our list of ‘must haves’. Tents
that can be set up as quickly as ours need a well-designed carrier that is just
as easy to use.
Ever since we went into business, the need to produce such a carrier has been
there. However, it took a great deal of time, thought and effort to come up
with a 3D-design idea that really satisfied our very high standards. Finally a
prototype was built and now all approval issues have been completed. Today
a fully tried and tested 3DOG camping carrier system is available to make your
travels more exciting than ever.

First class quality
is close to our heart
Blazing sunshine, heavy downpours and raging storms: in the great outdoors 3DOG camping
products are exposed to all kinds of extreme weather. To ensure they shrug off everything
thrown at them without any damage, they are developed and manufactured in Hamburg with
the utmost care. Step by step, tent trailers, rooftop tents and the many optional accessories
are lovingly crafted, by hand and to order.
Only the very best of materials are used, all of which meet the exacting quality standards of
3DOG camping. During production, great emphasis is placed on precision and attention to
detail. Aluminium edges, for example, are carefully rounded off using computer-controlled
milling technology, to avoid any possible damage to the canvas. All specially produced metal
parts are ground to remove any sharp edges. Other components are supplied by specialist
manufacturers in compliance with strict technical specifications.

MANUFACTURED IN HAMBURG
A passion
for detail
From the first stitch, to the last bolt, 3DOG camping trailer tents and
roof top tents are manufactured entirely in our Hamburg facility. This
is our own special way of guaranteeing world-class outdoor products.
Take, for example, the 3DOG camping kitchen module: each production
step is carried out in-house and by hand. This passion for outdoor products
– enhanced by extensive testing in the field and feedback from our
customers – is all worked into the development of new products.
This is particularly important with smaller, less visible parts and often
makes the difference between a good tent and an amazing tent. Installed
by hand for precision, and with a craftsman’s eye for detail, such steps
are the bedrock on which 3DOG camping products are built.

A trusty companion
for your travels
3DOG camping tent trailers and rooftop tents are supplied complete with all
the necessary poles, guy ropes, pegs etc. All these parts are neatly packed in a
practical accessory bag.
Whilst all our products are intuitive and easy to use, when you come to collect
your new tent we’ll take the time to set it up for you, and explain all the details.
You’ll soon realise that, from receipt of your order to the
handover of your keys, we place as much emphasis on the
high calibre of our service as we do on the quality of our
products. All user guides and other documentation are provided
in a durable folder, which you can take on every journey.
Your key fob has a serial number that’s unique to your tent.
If lost, the key need only be deposited in a letterbox by the
finder and it will make its way back to Hamburg and, in turn,
to its owner.

Outstanding customer service is our top
priority, and a quality product deserves
a quality user manual. With this goal,
3DOG camping has developed awardwinning user guides for tent trailers and
rooftop tents. They’re designed to help
you on your journey, that’s why we call
them guides, and not instructions!

development phase our emphasis is on delivering solutions which are practical,
well designed and, of course, technically advanced. By working closely together
with the German Technical Inspection Agency
