GATE 2: PRE-ENTRANCE FOR CAMPER VANS

In the wake of the great success of Gate 1, a pre-entrance that can easily be applied to the access door of the camper, LARCOS proudly presents the second generation model of this product: GATE 2

During the winter season travelling in campers and caravans can be a extremely challenging experience, especially if you don’t have the appropriate equipment. A problem you may have to face when pulled over on snowy ground is the absence of a storage area outside the vehicle where skis, boots and snow-COVERED shoes can be left upon entering the van.

Two years ago Larcos, a company specialised in the manufacture of  fabrics used in caravanning, created a pre-entrance for campers and caravans, which has to be fixed onto the outer perimeter of the access door. In this way you’ll have an extra space of 240cm in height, 140cm in width and 80cm in depth. In the wake of the success of this product(called Gate 1), and at the same time pandering to the current trends of a booming caravan market, Larcos proudly presents the new pre-entrance for camping vans: GATE 2.

This innovative pre-entrance has to be set up at the rear of the van, where the two backdoors are located, thus creating a sort of “porch”, which is very useful not only as a storage area for your winter equipment, shoes and anoraks, but also as a shelter from the freezing cold and snow. It is a sort of cold-breaking shield, which guarantees a minor loss of heat when the doors are opened. As a consequence this is a smaller consumption of gas for heating.

GATE 2 is manufactured using a strong and resistant waterproof fabric, which covers a fibreglass easy to assemble structure made of foldable poles. You can attach the GATE 2 thanks to adhesive press-studs, which allow a perfect adherence to the vehicle. Once put up, this product is 250cm high, 170 cm wide and 115 cm depth. When folded, it is a very compact product, which can easily be carried in a small bag (30x10x 60 cm). If and when necessary, the front of the GATE 2 pre-entrance can be opened, thanks to the side zips, its lower ends attached to 2 extra poles and be used as an awning/veranda. GATE 2 was launched, in its Ford Transit Custom Edition, for the first time in world premiere at the Salone del Camper (Camper trade show) in Parma. The new pre-entrance will be available starting from October, even for vans with Fiat Ducato mechanical structure.
