This camping shelter has a durable floor on which to place sleeping gear, while a pair of USB ports allow you to keep your devices juiced up. Windows allow for air circulation and handy views, while a fan and LED lighting allow for further convenience and comfort. Meanwhile, the cube can be connected to the grid with a plug, although it's also available in off-grid variants. As far as portability is concerned, this camping shelter can be quickly packed into compact form of 7.4 x 5.9 x 1 feet, and can then be unfurled and set up in under five minutes. Meanwhile, the 'Maverick' can also be stacked to a secondary unit in order to create a handy two-story camping shelter.
