I tried car camping in a Ford Fiesta...

No build, no experience, no clue! I used what I had at home (bar 9€ to make window covers) to make a car camping set up to save on travel costs, not even sure if I would fit in the car. I camped in a town called Algorfa, in Alicante in the spring of 2024.
Note: A portion of the video was filmed on location in the car so the camera and audio for that bit isn't exactly amazing.

For the CC community: I will be filming and uploading many more CC videos as soon as I’ve moved house. This isn’t a one off video, just life took a crazy turn just after filming it! Subscribe and I’ll get them out to you ASAP ❤

A perfect first time 😁 All you need to go with the easy set up to start with is a 24hr thermos - then you’ve got coffees/teas and pot noodles possible 🎉

I love your red Fiesta, and great go at camping in the car.I just started living/car camping full-time in my Fiesta after I built a platform and totally camperized my lil rig. I've documented most of the transition on my channel.

How cool! I’ll check out the channel sometime soon. I really enjoyed it and have more videos coming soon. Been hard recently as I was moving but definitely excited to get out again.

Ooh, ta muchly for your vid! My 2012 Fiesta and I need holidays! More info please - have subbed. Happy travels :)

I felt so sad when they decided to discontinue the Fiesta! I have more like this in the pipeline including improving the build and CC in the UK, will come up as soon as I am sorted after moving house (and country!). Thanks for the sub too!

I drove about 20,000 miles in the last 2 years up and down the east US, sleeping at truck stops in my chevy spark. I took out all the passenger seats and made a foam composite bed platform to save on weight. With blackout window panels that are also black on the outside with a dark window tint, I sleep better at truck stops than indoors.

Go you! Well done! just thinking of the pinterest trick of stitching five old pillow cases in a row along their long sides and putting the pillows back in to form a squishy, foldable mattress to lay along the bed. just subscribed x

Ooh thanks! I'll have a look. Thanks for the sub too, I have been busy getting ready to move house but as soon as I'm settled I plan on doing some trips around the UK so will make some videos around that.

Well done on your first night, welcome to the CC club. Every time you go again you will make improvements, it looks like you are off to a good start.😃

Thank you! Yes I’m going to work on getting a flatter bed setup but with minimal build. I saw somewhere a hack with an ikea table top I might try.

I’m thinking bout car camping as cheaper than a van right now

@StephanieSaintRemy Күн бұрын

I’d love a van but cars are cheaper and easier for parking etc. give it a go, I’m going again this week so adding another video hopefully at the weekend.

I took 2 trips and spoiled myself one night in a hotel, the rest were sleeping in the suv, in the summer heat, i don't know how people can do it on the cheap, i was sore and wore out by the end of the mini vacation

@StephanieSaintRemy 8 күн бұрын

I’ve not yet been in the heat, I will be soon so let’s see how it goes!

Get your windows tinted with 1 - 5 % light and spray them window covers with black paint on one side. Do not park under a lamp post.... then you can stealth camp... change your mindset 😊 Subbed btw.

Thanks! I am really excited to get back at it in a couple of weeks so I'm really happy you subbed!

I tried car camping in my garage. I only lasted 2 hours and I went back to my bed. But it did make me very thankful for what I have 😊

@StephanieSaintRemy 15 күн бұрын

If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. I love that you found a bonus to it! I’ve been struggling to find a stable home life over the past few weeks and that’s made me realise how little I really need. We find the best lesson in each situation. 🧡

@chev500l8 12 күн бұрын

Definitely need a decent motor home for room to lay comfortably being almost 6' 3" folding down seats was still not the best for comfortable sleep.

I definitely would not want to be any taller in a fiesta.

I never thought about my height until I moved to Spain. There I’m really tall and I’m only 5.7!

You never said how your wee went ..TMI I know 😂 but good to know for future ref , or would you buy something else?

@StephanieSaintRemy 15 күн бұрын

Oh of course! Very good question! Yes it was fine. I do plan on getting an all in one bottle with a shall we say feminine shaped top, as the traditional style requires a bottle and it could drip when you take it out. I’m doing some more car camping in the coming weeks so more videos to come, I’ll be sure to feature the new style I get. 😜
