Looks great. I had a 2016 that I removed all seats except driver, lol. I also put Falken on it too. I really liked it but I needed more ground clearance. Well done video. Thanks for sharing.

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

The RAV4 Adventure is a fun car to drive, isn't it? But yes I hear you, if you need more ground clearance there are better options. Did you get a jeep? I'd like to do more off-roading and will eventually trade this Rav4 for a car with more ground clearance as well. Thanks for watching.

@katpow5437 Год назад

@@renatahawkdreams yes I bought a jeep gladiator. Back seats out and front passenger will be coming out too. Not enough head room after building up a bed off the front seat layed flat. I also have a highlander that I use as well for camping. It doesn't have very high clearance but better than the rav4 I had. All seats are still in it for now. Lol.

I bought two stoves…and have a heat lunchbox…I found I used the lunch box and a small 3 cup cooker for everything … so have two brand new never used camp stoves. 😂 I also bought a potty but it was too big so bought a smaller collapsable one that is perfect but I have found just going potty (#1 only) in a ziplock bag using cat pellets is just perfect…now I haven’t gotten to the point of using a bottle.

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

I hear you! Simplicity of gear can sometimes make camping easier. I've tried different stoves and even got a 2 burner stove that I didn't use, so I sold it on craigslist. As far as portable toilets, the collapsable one is a good option and easy to store - I have one of those as well. Have you seen the pee funnels? they can be quite handy haha

@bridgetmuehlberger5141 Год назад

Saving your video for future reference. Right now, I rely on a mobility scooter, which weights 90 lbs, which takes up my whole back trunk area, so I sleep in the back seat (luckily, I am short!) 😊 But whenever I can afford an external scooter carrier, I'll have the whole back to set up as a bed! The love fit of your bed with your kitchen area. I also have Reflectix and window socks (bug screens), and USB fans for my windows. On a related note, what does the "Warning" say on your driver window? Thanks for sharing!

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

Great idea (to save it for later). I, as well, save many car conversion videos to get some inspirations from the different designs. It sounds like you got many of the necessary gear already. I hope an external scooter carrier makes its way to you soon :) Regarding the warning label on the window, it’s something from the manufacturer, it came with it and I don’t recall right now what it says, but I can check later and let you know. Thanks for watching.

How do you keep your battery from dying while keeping the tailgate open? I do it by closing the lock while it’s open but always looking for other ideas.

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

I've learned the hard way 😆 My car battery died while I was camping in the middle of NM and I had to call for road assistance. After that I turned off the interior lights (so it was no longer on auto mode), and only turned it on manually when I needed them. I also bought one of those jumper cables that come with their own portable Power Bank Charger, so I could jump start the car on my own. Thankfully I didn't need it again on that trip :)

@michaelfox6820 Год назад

Does your 2018 have a small raised area in the back behind the rear seat like my 2017 does? I wonder how that would affect a setup like yours?

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

When I fold down the back seats, it's not completely flat, it does have an inclined angle. Is that what you're referring to? When I built that simple platform with fence boards I leveled it using some pieces of wood underneath.

@tessbrown9885 10 месяцев назад

I have a 2017 RAV too. It slopes down so I found myself sliding down in the morning. I saw another video where the owner made a base bed 6 inches higher in the back. I plan to have one built so when I go camping next year, I will have a better set up. I’m 5’6” so I fit well inside the back.

@renatahawkdreams 5 месяцев назад

@@maylin1986 Hello ! I haven't done a video on that topic yet. I got the van because I wanted to have a camper that allows me to sleep, sit-up, have a desk, etc and also to have the experience of building my own camper van. I will do a video showing it sometime soon! The pros of the van are what I described above, but camping in the RAV4 was also great because it had more ground clearance, all-terrain tires, all that fun stuff if you enjoy venturing out on dirt roads.

Does your back seat fold down flat? My SUV back seat folds with an angle reducing under roof space… I now am thinking if I should try to remove back seat at all.

@renatahawkdreams Год назад

It doesn’t fold down completely flat. When I built the bed platform with fence boards I accounted for the angle and made the platform flat.
