The Evolution of Crua: The Journey of the Core

The Evolution of Crua: The Journey of the Core

2015 – The Birth of an Idea

The concept for the Crua Core is envisioned as a versatile, modular hub tent designed to enhance camping experiences for families and groups. The focus is on creating a durable, spacious, and comfortable central campsite solution compatible with Crua's innovative modular system.

2016 – Prototyping the Future

The first prototype of the Crua Core was developed, emphasizing weather resistance, and ease of setup. The team tests various materials and designs to ensure the tent can withstand diverse climates while maintaining user comfort.

2017 – Official Launch and Warm Reception

The Crua Core is officially launched and quickly gains recognition for its innovation. Customers praise its spacious interior, modular compatibility (with products like the Culla and Duo), and ease of setup. The Core is marketed as the ultimate hub tent for families, festival-goers, and adventurers alike.

2018 – Design Enhancements

Customer feedback leads to several improvements:

  • Reinforced Seams: Improved durability.

  • Enhanced Airflow: Additional ventilation options added.

  • Setup Refinements: Simplified instructions for quicker assembly.

These updates solidify the Core as a reliable option for campers seeking both functionality and comfort.

2020 – Expanding Comfort Features

Crua introduces an optional reflective flysheet to improve thermal comfort in hot environments, ensuring the Core remains a versatile choice for all-season camping.

2021 - Thermal add ons

After numerous customer requests for a standalone insulated tent compatible with the Core, Crua launched the Culla Family. This product was designed to offer enhanced insulation and comfort, allowing users to enjoy a versatile shelter while still maintaining compatibility with the Core tent. The launch underscores Crua's commitment to evolving based on customer needs.



2022 – Improved Ventilation and Condensation Control

Further refinements to vent placement enhance airflow, reducing condensation and improving sleep quality for users. The updates make the Core even more suited for varying climates and environments.

2023 - More Time to Enjoy

User feedback expressed difficulty erecting the Core due to the dual inflation points on the main dome as well as issues with PSI control which caused the air beams to fail. Crua redesigned its beam system to feature a single inflation point for the entire main living area as well as a psi control valve. This thoughtful enhancement not only addressed user challenges but also significantly reduced setup time, enabling campers to transform their tent into a fully functional and comfortable space with greater speed and efficiency. An additional internal carpet was also launched further increasing camping comfort.

2024 – The Core Today

The Crua Core remains a flagship product, celebrated for its adaptability, spaciousness, and innovative features. The Core continues to serve as another symbol of the brand’s dedication to quality and customer-driven design. Ideal for families, groups, and adventurers, the Core provides a dependable and comfortable home away from home.

2025 - What the future holds

The future of the Core tent is focused on enhancing the user experience by streamlining the setup process and reducing costs. Crua's design team is actively exploring innovative solutions to increase setup speed without compromising the tent’s premium features. Their goal is to make the Core more accessible to a wider range of outdoor enthusiasts while maintaining the high standards of comfort, durability, and insulation that define the brand. By combining advanced materials and efficient design, Crua aims to create a more affordable, yet equally premium, camping solution for all.
