Model Y Camping: Yeslak Organizer, Table & Air Mattress

The “you need a truck for that” argument keeps coming up in the EV world. I’ve heard it directed at people with Model Ys every time someone mentions camping. Having owned a Rivian for car camping trips, I get it. But Yeslak sent me three pieces of Model Y camping gear to test, and the case for the Model Y got a lot stronger.

The kit: a collapsible trunk organizer, a foldable table that stores in the sub-trunk, and a custom-fit air mattress. I set up the whole thing in my driveway with the Juniper to see how it actually holds up.

Yeslak provided these products for review. All opinions are my own.

Organizing the Model Y Trunk for Camping

The trunk organizer is what makes the rest of the setup possible. Velcro dividers let you size the compartments however you want, which matters when you’re fitting a Starlink, an electric kettle, a Bluetooth speaker, and assorted snacks into a single bag. I got all of that in there.

The design makes practical sense. Folds completely flat when empty, has a handle so you can carry it like a briefcase, side pockets for utensils or bottles, and a velcro-secured interior pocket for smaller items. Pull it out of the trunk without dumping anything. That alone is worth something.

A Foldable Table That Lives in the Sub-Trunk

This is the part I didn’t expect to like as much as I did. The foldable camping table is designed specifically to store in the Model Y Juniper’s sub-trunk. Unfold it, the legs pop out and lock in place. It sits at about 18 inches high, which pairs well with a standard camping chair.

The Model Y has no 120V outlets, so you need an external power source for anything that plugs in. I had my Anker Solix C1000 running the kettle and powering the Starlink, laptop out on the table. It’s a solid mobile work and productivity setup if you need it, or just a comfortable place to have tea.

Not bad for a car that mostly does school runs.

Model Y Camping: Testing the Air Mattress

The air mattress is the centerpiece. It’s cut to fit the Model Y cargo area, so it inflates into the shape of the cabin rather than fighting the wheel wells and seat backs.

Two things worth knowing before you start:

Inflate it inside the car. If you inflate it on the ground first, you’re going to spend a lot of time arguing with the shape. Lay it flat in the trunk, then inflate. It conforms to the space as it fills.

Turn on Accessory Power. The 12V port in the trunk (left side, next to the taillights) does nothing if you skip this. It’s in the charging settings and easy to miss.

The included pump runs off the 12V and works, but it takes 8 to 10 minutes. If you have a faster pump, use it. I switched partway through and it made a significant difference.

The built-in pillow is detachable at three points. You can inflate it, skip it entirely, or swap in your own. I like that it’s optional rather than fixed.

One heads-up on sheets: twin does not fit. I got three corners and couldn’t stretch the fourth. Go queen.

I’m 5’5” and fit without issue. If you’re closer to six feet, test it before your first real trip.

To close the hatch, push the front seats forward. The mattress expands toward the front of the cabin and needs the clearance. Once adjusted, it closes clean.

What Worked and What Didn’t

The organizer and table are the easy wins. No complaints on either. The table lives in the sub-trunk all the time and takes up no functional space.

The air mattress does what it says. The included pump is the weak link, but that’s a minor fix. Deflation is fast, the carry bag is solid, and the full kit packs down smaller than you’d expect.

If you want a Model Y camping setup that was actually designed for the car rather than adapted from something else, this is it. Use code Sherwin20 for 20% off any order, or Sherwin for 25% off orders of $400 or more.
