Helpful Girl/Guy Math Calculator
With this purchase I will save:
- $5k+ on a van & custom build
- $1500+ on a rooftop tent that wreaks havoc on my gas mileage
- $100+/night in nasty motels or busted up b&bs on road trips - yuck!
- $50 on a rinky-dink camping table that takes up all the room in my car
- Time, money, and trips to the chiropractor on a permanent & heavy build-out
- Ample room in my garage when it's not camping season
Jokes aside - we truly believe this is the most economical way for a positive car camping/road tripping/overlanding/van-lifing experience.
FAQ
How does it make a 6ft sleeping platform when my trunk/cargo space is less than that?
If you are using the Hele Box in an SUV, a set of longer adjustable legs are attached to the front of the frame. These legs sit in the footwell of the rear seating and level out the frame with the other 4 shorter legs in the rear of the frame.
What if my cargo space has different heights or isn't completely flat? How will the sleeping platform be flat?
No problem! All 6 legs are independently adjustable allowing you to dial in a flat sleeping platform even if your cargo area isn't. The Hele Box car camping system can straddle over obstacles, seats, and level out even the steepest of slopes. Check our vehicle fitment guide or send us a message and we'd be happy to confirm with you!
If the vehicle isn't listed on your fitment list, does that mean it won't fit?
No! We've tested the Hele Box in more than 50 makes/models/generations of vehicles, but there are SO MANY MORE out there we've yet to test. The Hele Box car camping platform will fit in almost any SUV/truck/van that has 72" of length for the full length of the frame or 66" for the system in "shortie" mode. Check out pg 3 of our fitment guide for more information.
Does it come with the components needed for a flat space (like a truck bed/van) or do you need an extra set of short legs?
Every Hele Box comes ready to be set up on a flat space/ground (all 6 short legs) or an SUV (4 short legs and 2 long legs for the foot wells). You don't need to buy anything extra :)
When are you releasing the 2-person sleeping platform?
It's released! Check out the Hele Box Duo if you car looking for a car camping platform that accommodates 2 people.
Can you buy an extra set of legs separately?
Yes! You can now purchase an extra set of extended legs to use the table as a standalone.
Headroom looks a little tight, how can I get more space?
We built the Hele Box with a focus on balance between headroom and storage space. If you are looking to prioritize more headroom on your car camping platform, add on a set of stubbies!!

I bought the Hele Duo Sleeping Platform and can’t recommend it enough. It fits perfectly in my 4-runner. My 4-runner is a limited so install is super easy. Really impressed with the design and build. I researched for months on how to maximize my space while being able to easily convert back to regular state. I talked with the company ahead of time and they were super awesome answering all my questions so I felt confident in my choice. This is a high quality product that works perfectly for all my adventures.
I love this product. It's easy to install and the size was perfect to my old Jeep Cherokee. The construction and design was great cause it compact when you want to store it after use. The company was fast and easy to resolve my issue I have, having to need one of the pole for the bed frame. This product is highly recommended!
I was looking to step up my game from just throwing a mattress pad in the back of my 4Runner for car camping, so I was going to build it out myself. It seemed like a fun project and a great idea, but when I started looking at the costs of lumber, the weight of the platform, and the impact it would have on my “daily driver”, it started to seem like that wasn’t the right route. I’m sure my phone was listening because I started seeing Hele reels all over my Instagram and I had to check it out. After doing some research and looking at customer reviews I decided to pull the trigger on the duo box & shortening kit (so I don’t have remove my rear seats in the 4th gen 4Runner) and it arrived in less than a week! Setup was super easy and straightforward and it’s already sitting in the back of my car ready to go. This was the upgrade and kickstart I needed to get going on some fun camping excursions.
Stoked on my new helebox duo! Fits in my 5th gen 4runner perfectly. Bonus; my iceco fridge fits right next to it for easy access now, no more having to muscle it around to get to it. Thanks to everyone over at Hele Outdoors for an amazing product. Very excited for the many trips to come. My corgi loves it too. 🤙 thx fam
I bought this for my wife, we converted her 4Runner into a stealth camp off-road rig. She absolutely loves it, she was happier with the koozie and decals along with the thank you note from Hele. Overall good purchase.
