The secret behind the lightning-fast set-up of Holtkamper
Holtkamper takes a completely different approach to this. In fact, thanks to the patented WindForce® system, the tent of the trailer tent automatically unfolds using air pressure. The result: can be put up by one person at the push of a button. And even the Holtkamper trailer tents that do not have this system can all be put up by one person. So camping without the hassle.
Quickly set up without effort
With the WindForce® system, traditional setup work is a thing of the past. The fan creates a controlled airflow that allows the tent to unfold on its own. The system takes most of the work off your hands and makes putting up the tent surprisingly easy. An inflatable trailer tent!
On average, a Holtkamper with WindForce® is fully camp-ready within 15 minutes.
Meaning:
- No hassle with loose tent poles
- No force required to unfold the folding trailer
- Also easy to set up by one person
- No sweat on arrival at the campsite
Instead, you can immediately relax with a cup of coffee or enjoy quality time with loved ones.

How exactly does the WindForce® system work?
The WindForce® system is a clever tool for pitching and folding certain Holtkamper models, such as the current Aero and the Kyte. Under the raised bed is a powerful fan that blows air into the tent. When the tent is closed, excess pressure is created, causing the tent to unfold on its own.
Very simply put: The fan blows air into the closed tent → the tent fills with air → the trailer tent folds out automatically.
Do you want to leave again? Then exactly the opposite happens: the system sucks the air out.
The tent is sealed, draws vacuum, and the gas springs then help to fold the tent effortlessly. The combination of airflow and gas springs makes the whole process smooth, controlled and fully automatic.
The fan
One-touch operation
The WindForce® system runs on 220 volts and uses only 6 amps.
The remote control is simple and effective:
- 1 button to set up
- 1 stop button
- 1 button to collapse
Within minutes, your Holtkamper is tightly set up, or just folded back down, ready to go.
Quick set up at the touchof a button
No inflatable frame, but air-driven power
Many people think the WindForce® system works with an inflatable frame, but it doesn’t. Unlike air bows or tent tubes that can leak, WindForce® does not use an air structure. The air is only used to build up pressure inside the tent, causing the canvas to unfold on its own. Our inflatable trailer tents are easy to use.
The result: a hufterproof system that is reliable and durable, with no fragile parts.
