Happy to help, good luck with the build :)

Hoping so Michael :)

Hopefully, lockdown permitting there will be a radio related video in this series ;)

Thanks Gottardo, it took a few months thinking it through but now it finaly coming together and i am very pleased with it so far.

I did consider that, but decided on the half and half settup. It makes it easier to anchor the bed bracket centre section into the end of the centre divider, when using it solo i will probably leave the big storage box top out to give full boot depth and also half width leaves the panels the right size for the next addition to the build ;)

Thank you

Yes i like your settup. Only having a single leaves more room and gives a lot more scope. Building a double certainly takes some thinking about and a few compromises. Especialy when you consider fitting in luggage and kit for 2. There will be some additions in future videos. And yes lets hope we can get out and about again soon :)

Thanks, a bitter sweet experience for me though as I lost my wife a year ago and we had been caravanners for years but sold it a few years back through lack of use. She wouldn't have even considerd this idea but it will be adequate for my needs. Are you planning to have privacy window tints or just make night blinds? I've just bought some clip in plexiglass panels for mine. Quite expensive but easily removed. I reckon your next step might be a roof box if catering for two Lol.

@@SYKAROST So sorry to hear about your wife. We are both looking forward to giving this a try once restrictions are lifted. No iam not going to get tints, I have a couple of ideas for blinds, those should be appearing in future videos. Already have a roof box from my last car, it should fit the Octavia ok but have yet to check that. But yes a roof box will be a must for longer trips. Though for 1 nighters we will hopefully be ok with whats in the car.

@@Bluejay1968 Thankyou, much appreciated. My tints are now fitted, I did experiment with blinds but have dropped the idea for now. Being a loner I shouldn't need to go down the roof box route. Good luck with your development, look forward to seeing the outcome.

Glad you found it interesting. The hinges are coffee table hinges, or lift up hinges.

@@Bluejay1968 Hello, thank you very much partner, you have given me a couple of very good ideas for my car, a 2009 Nissan Quascay that I want to camper for weekend outings 💪. I follow you from Spain

@@j.j.rcrawler8051 good luck with the build and happy camping😊

Thank you

Thanks Jim, i think i got the stay hinges from screwfix and the piano hinges from ebay.

Thank you. Open the drivers door, there is a switch low down on the door pillar, click that so it turns orange. That will disable the internal sensors. It will reset the next time you unlock the car so remember to do it every time.

Don't know about that, i have seen good ones from around the world. But thank you.

Sorry i haven't. But then its personal choice as to how you want yours. Whatvi will say is Think long and hard about what you want it to do before you start building it.

@@Bluejay1968Great stuff! Cheers matey hopefully I will be able to post a wicked video like yours someday soon

I did a follow up to this video which gives more info kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7l5dsWdrra-lX0.html

No they don't As shown in the video when the seats are down you are left with an incline.

No i haven't but i have put up another video explaining how it is made that gives the measurements.

Thanks, saw the other vid, now to buy some wood!

Yes, just a breifcase type one ring gas cooker, though i have since changed to 2 folding gas cookers. To save space.

The back seats only go slanted not flat.

Not exactly no, i will try and do a more in depth video on how i made it.

@@Bluejay1968 Yes please, I'd really use some drawings and measurements for my Octavia too. Great vid!

Check out my air mattress video i have done exactly that for you.

@@Bluejay1968 awesome, cheers man!

I'm doing something similar with an octavia and assure you that as a six footer it's just perfect.

@@Bluejay1968 You didnt show where your feet were in relation to the hatchback though so still no perception of scale.
