Interior Features & Usage

Sleeping Area

• Your Space Pod Camper is supplied with a high-density foam double mattress as standard equipment.
  Note: While it is possible to replace the supplied mattress with a spring mattress, please note that due to the door opening size, removal and refitting may be difficult..

Lighting & Power Management

Lighting within the Space Pod Camper is divided into three main areas: Interior (sleeping area), Kitchen, and Awning.

Interior Lighting (Sleeping Area)

• Seeker ST & ST Lite models:
  Interior lighting is provided via the roof fan light only.

• Seeker LX & AT models:
  Interior lighting includes the roof fan light plus dimmable reading lights located on each side of the bed.

• On LX & AT models, each reading light includes an integrated USB charging port.

Kitchen Lighting

• All models are fitted with a white/amber LED kitchen light.

• The kitchen light features a touch on/off button for easy operation.

• The white/amber light provides practical illumination while helping reduce insect attraction.

Awning Lighting

• All models are fitted with awning lights mounted above the side door.

• Awning lights feature white/amber illumination and are angled to improve ground visibility around the entry area.

• Each awning light includes a touch on/off button for simple operation.

Important Notes (All Models)

Ventilation & Comfort

Ventilation within the Space Pod Camper is designed to provide airflow, comfort, and flexibility across all models.

Doors

• All doors feature a split-door system, allowing the mesh screen to be used independently for ventilation while maintaining security, or fully closed for weather protection and privacy. Each door is fitted with Crimsafe mesh and a smoked privacy screen.

Windows (where fitted)

• Windows are equipped with integrated fly screens and blackout blinds, allowing airflow while keeping insects out, or providing complete privacy and light control when required.

Model configuration

• Seeker ST Lite: One door and one window

• Seeker ST: Two doors and no windows

• Seeker LX & AT: Two doors and two windows

Internal Fan & Roof Vent

• The internal fan features intake and exhaust modes, allowing fresh air to be drawn in or warm air to be expelled as required.
• The roof vent includes an internal air passage that allows limited airflow even when the top hatch is closed.
  Important: Airflow is significantly reduced when the hatch is closed. This feature should only be used under specific weather conditions (such as rain or high winds) and should not be relied upon as the primary source of ventilation.

Optional Sirocco Fans

• Optional Sirocco fans are very quiet and feature low power consumption, making them suitable for extended or overnight use. The adjustable head allows airflow to be directed to multiple areas, providing flexible and targeted ventilation throughout the camper.

Condensation Prevention Tip

To reduce condensation inside the camper, maintain airflow by using the internal fan and opening a door or window slightly, especially overnight or in cold weather. Moisture buildup during sleeping is normal and can be minimised with regular ventilation..

Storage Solutions

• Overhead cupboards, large cabin cupboards, and sidewall elastic pockets are available for storing items.

Exterior Features & Usage

Awning Setup & Usage
