Trenta Carbon Fiber Camper Van Ski & Multisport Storage Box
Carry skis, snowboards, golf bags and long adventure gear outside your camper van without adding the weight of a traditional aluminum storage box.
The Tec Vanlife Trenta Carbon Fiber Camper Van Ski & Multisport Storage Box combines a lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum hybrid construction with a tall, narrow design built specifically for long equipment.
At approximately 75.6 inches tall and only 49 lb, the Carbon Fiber Trenta provides substantial exterior storage while saving approximately 50 lb compared with the 99 lb Aluminum Trenta.
Designed for compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster camper van storage systems, the Trenta helps keep long, wet and bulky equipment outside your living space and accessible when you need it.
Exterior ski storage solves one camper van problem but can create another: weight.
The Trenta Carbon Fiber Camper Van Ski & Multisport Storage Box provides the same 75.6-inch long-gear storage format as the Aluminum Trenta while reducing empty-box weight from approximately 99 lb to 49 lb.
That's approximately 50 lb of weight saved before you load a single pair of skis.
For camper van builds already carrying water, batteries, solar equipment, bikes, spare tires and other exterior accessories, reducing the weight of the storage system can help preserve valuable vehicle payload.
The Trenta's tall format provides dedicated exterior storage for:
Skis
Snowboards
Golf bags
Fishing equipment
Long camping equipment
Outdoor sports gear
For compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter builds, pair the Trenta with the Sprinter Rear Door Aluminum Gear Rack – No Drill.

Finding somewhere practical to store skis and snowboards is a common problem in camper van builds.
Keeping skis inside takes up valuable garage or living space. After a day in the mountains, they can also bring snow, water and dirt into the van.
The Trenta provides a dedicated exterior camper van ski storage solution, allowing winter equipment to remain outside the living area while staying organized and accessible.
Its approximately 75.6-inch height provides space for many common ski lengths while the tall, narrow format makes efficient use of exterior vertical space.
The Trenta isn't limited to winter.
When ski season ends, use the same storage space for golf bags, fishing equipment, tripods, long camping equipment or other adventure gear.
The Trenta can be incorporated into compatible exterior storage systems for popular camper van platforms including:
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Ford Transit
Ram ProMaster
Mounting requirements vary by vehicle, rear-door configuration and carrier.
For Mercedes-Benz Sprinter builds, the Trenta works particularly well as part of a rear-door storage system where the tall box can make use of otherwise unused vertical exterior space.
Explore our Mercedes Sprinter Rear Door Storage Boxes & Exterior Storage Guide to compare the Trenta with the Grande, Venti and Split Door storage options.
Large exterior storage boxes provide useful cargo capacity, but the weight of the box itself becomes increasingly important as size increases.
That's where the Carbon Fiber Trenta has a major advantage.
Aluminum Trenta: approximately 99 lb
Carbon Fiber Trenta: approximately 49 lb
Approximate weight saving: 50 lb
That means the Carbon Fiber Trenta weighs approximately 50% less than the aluminum version before cargo is added.
On a camper van already carrying batteries, water, solar equipment, cabinetry, bikes, spare tires and camping equipment, saving approximately 50 lb on one exterior component can be significant.
Although the Trenta is designed around skis and other long equipment, its vertical format makes it useful throughout the year.
Use it for:
Downhill skis
Cross-country skis
Snowboards
Ski poles
Golf bags
Fishing rods and equipment
Tripods
Hiking equipment
Long tools
Camping equipment
Outdoor sports gear
This makes the Trenta a multisport exterior storage box, rather than an accessory that only gets used during winter.
One of the biggest advantages of exterior storage is separating adventure equipment from your camper van living space.
After skiing, hiking or camping, equipment can be wet, muddy or covered in snow.
Instead of bringing that equipment inside your van, the Trenta provides dedicated exterior storage where suitable gear can remain separate from your bed, cabinetry and interior flooring.
For year-round travelers, that can make everyday van life considerably easier.
Construction: Carbon fiber and aluminum hybrid
Height: Approximately 75.6"
Weight: Approximately 49 lb
Weight saving vs. Aluminum Trenta: Approximately 50 lb
Primary use: Skis, snowboards and long adventure equipment
Vehicle applications: Compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster exterior storage systems
Installation: Compatible rear-door rack or exterior mounting system required
Always confirm your specific vehicle, rack and storage-box compatibility before installation.
Both versions of the Trenta provide the same basic concept: tall exterior storage designed around skis, snowboards and other long equipment.
The main difference is weight.
Reducing exterior accessory weight is a priority
You want to preserve as much vehicle payload as possible
Your camper van already carries substantial equipment
You want premium lightweight construction
You regularly carry skis or long adventure equipment
Lower purchase price is more important
Maximum weight reduction isn't necessary
You prefer traditional aluminum construction
Your build has sufficient available payload
You can compare it directly with the Trenta Aluminum Camper Van Ski & Multisport Storage Box.
For Mercedes-Benz Sprinter owners, the Trenta can become part of a complete exterior rear-door storage system.
Pair it with the Sprinter Rear Door Aluminum Gear Rack – No Drill to create a dedicated mounting platform for exterior adventure gear.
A typical setup can provide:
Sprinter rear-door gear rack + Carbon Fiber Trenta + skis/snowboards
This keeps long winter equipment outside the living space while keeping it accessible from the rear of the van.
For other storage requirements, compare all of the options in our Mercedes Sprinter Rear Door Storage Boxes & Exterior Storage Guide.
When planning exterior storage, don't look at the empty storage-box weight alone.
Consider the combined weight of:
Rack + storage box + accessories + cargo
This is one reason the approximately 50 lb weight saving of the Carbon Fiber Trenta can be valuable.
Reducing the weight of the box leaves more of your available payload for the equipment you actually want to carry.
Always consider your vehicle manufacturer's payload limits and the requirements of the mounting system being used.

The Trenta can be incorporated into compatible Ford Transit exterior storage configurations. Always confirm the mounting system and vehicle compatibility before installation.
The Trenta can also be used with compatible Ram ProMaster exterior storage systems. Mounting requirements depend on the vehicle and carrier being used.
Capacity depends on ski width, bindings, poles and how the equipment is arranged. Check the internal dimensions against the equipment you plan to carry rather than relying solely on a pair count.

Yes. The Trenta is a multisport storage box and can also be used for golf bags, fishing equipment, tripods, long camping gear and other suitably sized equipment.

The Trenta should be installed using an appropriate compatible rack or exterior mounting system rather than being attached directly to an unsupported door panel.
The Trenta is designed as an exterior camper van storage solution. Equipment particularly sensitive to moisture should always be stored with appropriate additional protection.
The Trenta Carbon Fiber Camper Van Ski & Multisport Storage Box gives van owners dedicated space for some of the most difficult equipment to carry efficiently.
At approximately 49 lb, it provides the long-gear capacity of the Trenta format while saving around 50 lb compared with the aluminum version.
Whether you're carrying skis through winter, golf equipment in summer or long adventure gear throughout the year, the Trenta helps move bulky equipment outside your camper van and reclaim valuable interior space.
