Here's my take on the Element Camper. I tried to keep things simple, easy to install and use. It's probably not the best design for people living full time in their car, but as someone who goes on short trips, this has been great.

I've researched a LOT of Element conversions, and never have I seen this attention to detail. You are a rare mix of craftsman and genius, this channel is going places.

Hands down one of the best element camper set ups because everything can be easily removed and put back. I love it! 👍🏼

that's what I was thinking too. So many of the element campers have set ups that are so involved that I would never want to convert my element back and forth before or after a trip. (I get lazy) But this one seems easy.

I spent most of my working life as a woodshop teacher. At one point, the old skool curriculum changed to a more problem-based design/build which required some high order thinking as well as skill development. Amy, you could teach that program in a minute, 100%!! Your projects demonstrate exemplary skills, knowledge, and talent. I can also see that you are driven by that "make it better / continuous improvement" thing. Awesome work!!

I used those round foldable window shades when I went camping on the Delaware River and attached them to the inside windows using magnets.

I have been looking for a while for how to outfit my '08 Element for road travel, camping trips and boon-docking. I am absolutely going to use the bed ideal and the shelf as I must work from the road and need to be able to have my iMac as well as a laptop. This will allow it. I also didn't want to be drilling holes into my baby and everything needs to easily come out. This works perfectly. Wish I had a moon roof now, so I can do that too. The bug netting ideal is perfect too. Thanks for sharing!!
