Converting My Tiny Car Into A Camper - Seat Removal - There's so much space! 

Whether your in a cramped car or a nice van, at least your going out there and doing what you want to do not what everyone else thinks you have to do. Big respect mate

I've been in the hospital for a week now. Even though you are living at a car, it still gives me vibes of being home. Love your passion and your content.

Who needs a toolkit when you have a fully equiped and capable DAD !👍😎

fantastic. love your laid back, naivety :-) A refreshing change from over enthusiastic diy experts. Thank you Alex.

I think something that could do a little bit of light four wheel driving would be handy too so you're not just restricted to sealed surfaces and well maintained gravel/dirt roads

Just a word of warning Alex....You might want to let your insurance company know you are removing the seats etc. They will use any excuse these days not to pay out if you have to claim. Great vid..Good luck on your new adventure..

Oh man! As a mechanic my brain was exploding watching this lol you have a great outlook on life though fair play to you love the video always make me smile 🤪

Looks like you are off to a great start brother! Just a word of advice, a good set of tools is invaluable for saving money and custom building things for your journey. I never go anywhere without my small tool bag, there are a few times I might not have made it out of the woods without it..😁 Great Videos Alex!

Best moment, when the mechanic says: “ever thought of buying a van?” Priceless!… 😂

Glad to see my suggestion being put into practice once those seats are out there really is a lot of space. Hats off to you persevering with the polo

Alex i could watch you paint a door and you would still have fun and make it amazing when me and my wife retire iam getting a camper van and we are going everywhere good luck to everything you do alex

Good for you not giving up on it and seeing it till the end👍🏻

6 foot 4...!!!!! Right there is your problem dude...but l do admire your determination...

I don't know what I'm watching, or why I'm watching, but I like it... I like it a lot. Great Job Alex!

It scares me that a man can get to that age and not possess a socket set

I love it! You do the same thing that we all do when we have a silly idea, and hit a snag "Dad help!" and then sit and watch while dad does all the work.

Kudos to you Alex! 👍 I'm trying to do the same with my Renault Grand Scenic 😁. Makes for a very spacious mini apartment in the back 🤣👍

Itching to see part two now, once you’ve built the bed frame. I do admire your tenacity and determination to make it work. Bit like me really, I don’t know if it’s just stubbornness or Just the fact that I don’t have much spare dosh. I think you’d like my bargain vehicle though 😊 it would be perfect for you. It’s a 23 yr old Toyota Hiace Regius and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Absolute joy to drive with a 2.7ltr engine. It was advertised as a 1988 model for 2k but it’s a 1998 and should have cost nearer 5k. With only 56k mileage and mint condition.

Before going too far alex, have a go changing a wheel with a spare so if you ever need to on the go, you'll know whats what

Weldone Alex...I love the way you don't give up easily and you don't take the easy way out...👏🥰

Always start with what you've got. The Polo is better with petrol so you can explore farther.

My brother traveled the UK in a Reliant regal three wheeler,great respect to that! .do enjoy your videos so look forward to next one

Hi Alex, I run an automotive detailing business and could get your little polo looking great again after the journeys it has been on. When you come to selling your polo to get a van, we could detail your car for you free of charge to help you out. I am following your journey and am willing to help out! Watched you and Carl for years! Good luck regardless!

I had good laugh watching this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am figuring out how to do it with my Citroen C1... for me and a labrador 😄

"They need to be locked up [and] put somewhere safe." Your dad just made me chuckle soooo hard! hehehehe

I may be late to this video but I just found your channel! You gave me motivation to tear out our seats in our susuki hatchback. We want to make it into a car camper to go car camping with my mom when she takes her trailer to a campground. We tried tent camping at her place of choice but had a horrible experience with ear wigs getting into our tent and all over our stuff. 😬

this would work with any vehicle, what you need to do is take out all the seats, except the driver one, imagine your trying to lighten the car and remove everything but the necessary seat and driver controls, put a raised wooden frame that co-opts as storage underneath and general living and sleeping area above, from their you only need two things minimum, some kind of battery charger for electronics and a pressurized water container, that doubles as water jug and emergency shower, depending on whether you have tinted windows or not, a sliding curtain.

Brilliant video and really enjoying your channel. When you have your car conversion done,you should take a road trip over to Ireland.

2 seater long wheel base 2005 LandCruiser Diesel van - basic living kit in 2 apple crates behind seats. More clearance than a VW transporter, better in wet fields too, run forever if you keep the air and oil filters clean/changed, I'm 6ft 4 and have slept in the back on shoots, fishing trips - ideal. Hopefully you're off across Europe - you'll be able to sleep behind your peg on most French rivers etc. Scandinavia would be worth exploring too - I got as far as Kiruna, some amazing fishing.

Arrrrrr gutted when the video ended I was ready for the build! Look forward to it but another great vid Alex thanks!

what a great morning wakening up to anther great video thank you alex you never lets us down and i was just waiting for the A TEAM music to kick in when you started takeing the seats out hahaha

Looks great cant wait!! Dont expect me to be awake for 7 o clock tho😂😂

This is a journey I would love to live I love wildlife and not that I love fishing, u and Carl have inspired me a lot

Hi Alex, I converted my partner van for camping/carping and didn’t need to take the front seat out as my jrc bed chair fitted in perfectly with my head over the folded down seat. With a removable rack behind drivers seat for work tools/ food. 9ft rods suspended under the roof and storage under bed chair.used for 3 years for overnight sessions and was fine. Check your insurance too as taking out the seats may be seen as a modification. Try the bed chair option, it works

Some genuine content Alex. Nobody does do this. 😂👍

Looking forwards to seeing how this works out......

Your get there in the end iv been doing the same thing for a couple of years now

Lol. A year ago I worked in that McDonald's 😆 shocked me to see a place I know so well on RU-vid

Nice vid bro! The socket your dad is using is called a torx bit but the bit he really needed is called a multispline!

I love the fact you break away from the normal, don't take the easy route and just buy a van. Can't wait to see where this goes. 👍🏻

I use a Citroen C1 no front seat I cut a piece of plywood to fit from the front footwell to the rear seat ,then it lifts onto the back seat and a box soon to be hinges at the front support the front Hay presto a bed at nyt a table through the day , and for running around it goes back down as a floor for Mt dog good luck.

I liked the bee docu and the mushrooms and fishing. You jonger guy teaching me older guy something. You can do it man.

Cant wait for part 2 mate, im enjoying the polo quest!! 👍👍

Maybe a cool idea for the honey would be doing something similar to what hagley west does on tiktok, if you hand delivered or even traded some for something interesting, or maybe an experience. Could lead to some interesting adventure and places you might otherwise not have seen

I've loved every video so far Alex, your videos are... unique, interesting, inspiring, different, funny etc.. There's more in life than carp! and mostly your passion for all nature . You definitely made the right choice!

Looking forward to seeing the end result. Expecting great things.

Build a box in the foot well where you can remove a lid and store stuff in that even if it’s food

Can't wait for the next one 👍

Wow, I think I heard you say you’re 6.4’ and your dad looks like he’s about 3 foot taller than you when you were both sat in the car. I love how you’re just appreciating the things that matter in life. I’m trying to detach from all the bs in the world. It has nothing to do with me, so there’s no need for me to worry about anything, other than my wife and kids. Teaching them to be great people, and just doing our own stuff. Here I am watching RU-vid, but I’m trying my best

"I'm gonna flippin like that. That was a good video" really got me

Get a van buddy ! Travel wide and proud ! 😎👌🏻

Perhaps get a car top carrier for things like your luggage bag etc and keep the valuable items inside the car

Cool car camping

Rooftop tent could be the option. Love your passion and your channel

Great video but there is no need to remove the back seats. The floor of your boot can be moved up a level so that it sits flush with the back seats when they’re folded. Just lift up the handle and remove the boot floor and you’ll see there are some notches above to sit it up higher.

Keep it up Alex things looking good..

Can't wait mate hope your well

Love how you watch a video on how to remove the seat then still bring it too your dad

I like that mini van looking car you guys have back in the old days , maybe it was a work vehicle (the white one that only have 2 seats and the back was full with your fishing gears ) now that’s a nice small van that I can see you turning into a camper

Fairplay mate 👍🏻

Don't rush the content ! From a fan

I can't wait see the final end result looks like this could actually work mate As usual great video and just love how u going with the flow pal keep it coming

How ever much I'm a fan of you and Carl. This is painful to watch lol 😆. Good luck Alex 👍

4:20 Alex describing me who is watching this instead of maths homework

what a cool guy!

Makes me want to do the same to my mini! Enjoying this series and the new channel. Girlfriend looks forward to them too, keep it up!

I like your attitude its not the right won Alex but respect to you for not giving up on you little run around

Have you thought about putting some roof bars and a box on the top will give you loads more storage space could put a bicycle up there too prob loads on marketplace ✌️

It’s maybe not problem for one night but for longer time living in such small car you’ll get tired very quick. You seriously need some kind of van for that adventure. Good luck , I’ve been following you guys for years.

First vid of yours I’ve seen, your very likeable and I really enjoyed it

I absolutely love your videos man! Give it till the end of the year you'll be on 500,000 subscribers

Alex - "I really enjoy cleaning now" 11.13 in,,, mate the bottom corner of that bumper 🧐😂

Just an idea turn the back seat into a sort of bench seat for a games room or garage and turn the front seat into a office chair be cool pieces of furniture an will put some cash back in the bank

You defo need a camper van. Enjoy you adventure

i moved house, on my own, using only a volkswagen polo. i rate them so highly. never teied living in it though. glad things never got that far

Alex! I have one tip for you. Spend the bloody money and get a van and convert it. I love my van

Great vid😄

yewwwww what a friday treat

Him: "maybe buy a land rover" The land rover in the distance at 5:15 "Im I a joke to you?"

I like that you have done you're own channels...... now I know who is who 🤣

Excellent can’t to see the results

Rooftop tent. GentleTent GT Roof and Sky Loft both fit on a VW Polo

Ouch! a torx bit to remove a spline bolt.

Get yourself a socket set mate, you'll need one if you're tinkering about with your car.

Watching Alex with tools should have its own chanel 😂

Love you new videos Alex Get yourself a roof rack and a roof tent problem solved 😉

6ft4"🙄👀😳 No wonder its been a bit of a mission to sleep or even lie down in it. Enjoying the dry wit, as always, and the randomness of you doing it just because it's not been done yet.. Least not with a Polo as far as anyone knows. Also was it only me that got interrupted by a camper van conversion ad. Popping up or was that something you d arranged for a bit extra necessary dosh? Kind regards and best wishes Cal

I'm liking the content mate something very different 👌 this may help but with your seat disconnected it's going to show a fault with your airbags. U can fit a resistor/emulator so on your trips you've got a working airbag system

“The biggest tool is the one holding the box”. That one got me laughing. :)

I'm wondering now if thats an mot failure.. now the seats seems removed you might need to take out the corresponding seat belts, tensioner and all linked stuff.. if there's a mil lamp indicator on its a fail.

Epic bro 😎

He is like the ‘British Pete Davidson’

Remember Alex, you will have to re fit the seats. When selling the car. In the long run, I think you are too tall. For this car, to be your temp home. Wish you luck though. Safe travels too, look forward to seeing your journey unravel.

Is Mr Polo a trans vehicle? You call Mr Polo “her” 🤣 Alex! Stick to fishin! 😂

Bet the air bag light is on now he’s taken the seat out!!

You want to get yourself a little night heater and fit that and run it of your leisure battery will keep you warm and stop it getting damp in there when you're asleep 👍🏻

As ex valeter it hurt my feelings using that sponge they're so bad for the paint work haha great video brother

Thank god I’m not the only weirdo in this world that turns her golf into a microcamper🤌🏽

This should be an April fools video I hope you’ve brought that van really

How tall are you? Im 6ft3 and thought maybe the best is to get a Honda jazz which has the fold flat seats at the back. I think also the ford focus has some degree of fold flat.,
