Tiny Hatchback Camper Conversion *Super Cheap And Easy* 

Yes very clever set-up. Looks good and comfortable.👍👍🇳🇱I noticed the Dutch number plates.

I came to the comments to say the same thing. What reason could there be for not doing this. It seems so obvious to put it on the passenger side.

Just do it. I also set up like this for my SUV, fast no need to install anything, neither removing seats. Easy deployment easy return

I’m using the drivers side because it is wider of the 60/40 split. It fits most mattress. Pads etc.

I am also sleeping behind the driver srat for that reason, even it's tight.

I would sleep on the passenger side for safety sake. You can jump behind the wheel and haul ass if you're in danger. 🦋

I agree with the safety concerns of not being able to escape if a bad situation arises in the middle of the night. I've had a couple of occasions where I've had to quickly vacate my parking spot in the middle of the night. Other than this concern, this was a great video! Thanks for the ideas.

I like having the extra sitting space on the passenger side. But it can be used on either side of course

Cat-scanned but no lab-test in sight.

Nice kitty.

Glad you like it!

The really quick way to do this if you're not very tall it's a baby bed mattress in the back seat. I'm 5'6" and I can put a baby mattress in the back seat and something in the floorboards the out at level and it fits perfectly in Elantra. I'm 5 foot 6 so I just have to bend my knees like six inches or something

@Andrew Brann definitely wouldnt work for me....wouldnt be able to lie flat across:(

@@lifemyway200 yeah I mean I don't do that anymore but I'm 5 foot 6 I only have to bend my legs like just a few inches. Actually for a year and 4 months just to save money I moved into a storage unit. It was set up just like a big room in a house and I had electricity. The police came by probably 5 or 6 different times and ran my ID and said have a good day

Wow, that’s pretty cool. I saw maybe a documentaru or something about some people who were doing that & it was fascinating. I’m trying to picture that. One evening I went to a storage unit I had and some guys across from mr had their band oractice set uo there. It was a lot of fun & lots of people came over. Did the storage place call the cops? Apparently a lot of orople do that. There was guy on Periscope ,A vetersn, who would walk around LA all day making live stresms of cool stuff them at night wslked to his storage & slept there for the night. I am fascinated by that.People are getting priced out of having basic shelter. Just wrong.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

I use the passengers side to sit/hang out in the evening. So its nice to not have the steering wheel there. It only takes a minute or so to set up/put away, after which the car is back to normal.

Please have a look at my latest video. I will do a more extensive trip this spring!

Thanks! My reasoning; If you have the bed on the drivers side there is more space in the 'sitting room' (passengers seat..), which is nice in the evening or if it's raining. And if you need to leave quickly, the whole thing packs up in about a minute...

Thank you so much

Thank you!

Thanks!

Air bags wiring ans sensors under the seats now in modern cars

It's also illegal in some countries

I wouldn't, but I'm sure you could...

easily done. push the front seats all the way forward, sleep with your head in the trunk, and feet in the middle between the two front seats. Or if you travel solo, remove the front passenger seat and put a permanent bed, tons of videos of ppl doing that on YT

It does, but I like to be able to still sit there

I like to be able to sit in the passenger chair, more space without the steering wheel

It's allright, could me better with a lower bed of course... But it would not fit in my car

@@affordableadventure my leafs the same , you end up against the roos

sleeping on top of a battery, no thanks 🥴

Its from Decathlon. It was cheap and it works well!

Thank you! It's on the drivers side so I have more space to sit in the evening or when the weather is bad... The passengers side is sort of like the living room

My SUV I set up the same easier but in the passenger side and I still have 1 second seat to sit for relax if it rains

Its very easy to set up and put away. Takes only about a minute

I believe it is 190x64x43 cm. Hope you find something that works for you

@@affordableadventure Thanks I have one , it won't fit in Hyundai i10 , so I am changing for a Mercedes Vito , ( the car that is, not the stretcher :) ) .

I Don't know. You would have to check if the dimensions are similar... Also, you might be able to find a shorter bed to fit the car. Good luck

No need for all this. push the front seats all the way forward, sleep with your head in the trunk, and feet in the middle between the two front seats. Done

Glad I could help!

It could easily be done with a hand saw. If you're not lazy like me..

Myself, I need to sit up in bed or at least almost sit up. I would have gone with a mattress on the floor. But I'm debating because I need room for storage underneath. Hmmm...

That's what I use to think - because my dad would be covered in grease and dust and everything was big and loud - until I actually started building out my SUV. None of that stuff is hard to use and basic stuff doesn't require a lot of intelligence or strength. It's about an hard as using an electric mixer or a blender. The safety guards and basic common sense will protect you from almost any accident. You can buy a Goodyear utility cut off tool from Walmart for $25 and learn how to use it in a 3 minute RU-vid video. But if you don't want to get outside your comfort zone and learn a new skill, which is completely valid, you can also buy a $10 hacksaw.

@@freeshrugs63 I'm thinking of a low profile platform and foam mattress.(28-30 inches wide x 69 in long x 5-7 in height). It'll give me more headroom in a Ford Escspe with seats folded down. Under the platform I'll use shoe boxes 4-6 inches high to keep it low profile. I think it'll serve my needs for a weekend getaway camper. Under 5'5" my bed won't need to be as long as the cot in the video. I'll use 3 pieces that will easily stack in the trunk during the week. -- Thought draft. Will try a prototype this weekend. 🤞🙏🤷‍♀️

Agreed. And power tools are not cheap if you don’t have any to start with.

Glad you like it!

Depends on what you prefer.. I like the security and having a nice chair (passengers seat..)

I want to be able to convert back to a normal car in less than a minute.

It's a 26 euro tarp from Decathlon. Works well though!

Where did you buy camping bed?
