I hate sleeping in a tent, but I have a camping trip coming up this weekend and it’s already Thursday. So, I spent an hour and $40 to make the cheapest, easiest car camper conversion.
Yes, it’s basically just an elevated platform, but with some backpacks and the right mattress, it has everything you need. It’s the ultra-light version of #vanlife

Well, seeing how much lumber is now it's a $30,000 conversion now. Vehicle extra.

You need so little lumber you could probably get this much from someone's scrap pile when doing renovations.

When I bought the cast iron bottle opener many years ago, I knew there will be a day where I am going find the PERFECT spot for it. It's sitting in the same corner of a drawer for all these years. Sometimes I took it out....and... nah...no need for that. NOW it has found that spot. Thank you, also for the 'easy way' of making this mattress platform. What a nice and humorous video.

I love watching these conversion videos as I have a pickup truck that I use for short term camping. My design is even simpler than yours as I don't want any platforms to reduce head height inside as I have a short comfortable beach chair to sit on. I lay a 3" foam mattress cut to fit for 2 people. Were does my stuff go? I hitched a luggage rack on the hitch with 4 fitting fiberglass boxes to hold my camping gear and done ! Everything is strapped down and secure.

My mindset gets on very well with you perspective, very rare at all in my country... were I seem to be a crazy one. I have donde similar this summer... and moved along the Spanish north west sea coast, and was the only one... among an ocean of the usual predictable camping site stuff... the best and flexible and easiest holidays ever! 5 mins to rebuild everything in 5 mins... and off we went to another place... my car? A tiny Renault Scenic , i noticed that I could remove the back seats, and there i sent, just taking the basic... and now i am planning a practical and more confortable update, adding a platform, to get that 31 cms space up under the platform... its a real joy to find we are many insane but possitive mindset to face these dark hours... jajaja... i. pleased to meet you!

Cool video dude! The thought of learning how to plumb in my kitchenette and learn to become an electrician to wire up transformers and solar panels is daunting to the point I don’t feel ready to buy a van to convert it. I currently sleep in my BMW Touring and I want to buy something bigger. Think I’ll start with the Nissan Pathfinder and do something similar to what you’ve got here for now. 👍

fun video, well done. i obsessed way too much about mine being level. i later found out that if the bed platform is a little higher on the front seats end and a tad lower on the cargo end, that's totally cool cause otherwise you have the blood rushing to your head all night. (let the snarky jokes fly)

I made my Accord a camper after I eyeballed the right half of it and realized I could fit a 6 foot long bed in there. So the back left is my living room and the right half is the bedroom. It's a lot more attainable when you don't overcomplicate things.

Suggestions: make the top sleeping boards smaller so you can reach in while inside without moving everything. Get a camping cot so no need to build the platform. How can you measure with the front seats all the way forward and then use them? Making the platform so it can slide in and out for the bed area also allows for having a couch type setup inside when you can't be outside due to the weather.
