Thank you for this amazing resource! My scoda Octavia has a 6cm gap from the back seats folding. I’m confused how your 13cm boxes level out the plywood across these two areas of the car. Would so appreciate the clarity here 😊🙏🏼

@gottardop 5 ай бұрын

do you drive the Octavia station wagon? Mine is the hatchback verdion. That gap might be different. If that's the case, try to find lower boxes to support the plywood.

Hallo Silke, es sind "RAKO" oder auch "EURO" Boxen. Ich habe sie im Jumbo-Baumarkt gekauft, es sind normierte Behälter die man vielerorts findet.

Ciao Gottardo, complimenti per il tuo lavoro. Sono stato da poco in vacanza in campeggio, i miei amici col van camperizzato e io con la tenda. Dormire in tenda è sempre bello ma camperizzare in effetti è una soluzione molto interessante. Prenderò spunto da questo video, farò delle misure, e forse il progetto di sta primavera sarà camperizzare la mia octavia wagon :D Probabilmente cambierò qualcosa, perché io dovrei ricavare dello spazio anche per la bestia.. se siamo in due a dormire il cane probabilmente non ci sta in mezzo (quando siamo in tenda si piazza placidamente tra di noi, ma giriamo con una tenda da tre) e magari potrei farlo stare davanti nel posto passeggerose non fosse il caso farlo dormire fuori Hai idee o suggerimenti al riguardo?

@gottardop 2 жыл бұрын

Ciao Jack, e grazie per i complimenti :-) Paul Coull ha pure qualche buona idea per Octavia Wagon, un pizzico più confortevole che la mia soluzione ultrasemplice. Cane ... non so, magari una cassa pieghevole da aprire quando necessario e mettere sul sedile del passeggero? Bè, cert dipende anche dalle dimensioni dell'animale. In ogni modo, non mancare di farmi vedere il resultato, se ti ci metti.

@jackm_ 2 жыл бұрын

oggi ho fatto un giro al brico, madonna quanto costa adesso il legno.. le scatole dove le hai trovate? ho visto qualcosa di papabile ma è 60x40, niente di più piccolo per chiudere bene Mi guarderò il video di paul coll, ma non disdegno la soluzione ultrasemplice, sia perché ho la deadline tra due settimane per il primo test, sia perché non penso di farci più di due tre giorni in campeggio, oppure portare la macchina su in montagna e dormire su, quindi una sera e poi si torna casa. Rispetto al tuo progetto però vorrei usare un singolo pannello invece di due, perché tanto tra buttare giù un sedile o tutti e due cambia poco. Dipende ovviamente da se riesco a trovare un 100x100 / 200x100 e il peso effettivo di tutto. Magari pesa troppo e devo abbandonare l'idea del pannello singolo

@gottardop 2 жыл бұрын

@@jackm_ Ciao :-) Certo, perchè non fare singolo pannello. Per me comodo averne due perchè posso usare il sedile posteriore di sinistra per lavorare, cambiarmi, leggere, avere un pò di comfort seduto se piovesse. Ma vero che perloppiù ho entrambi i pannelli in formato letto. Le use le "Rako Box" o "Eurobox" îl peso non dovrebbe porre problemi, sono molto stabili.

With the plywood the floor is completely flat, as the boxes offset the step. OK, maybe +- 1-2 cm, but you work with more precision than, it gets to be flat.

What are the dimensions of the Rako boxes and how many do you need?

@gottardop 3 жыл бұрын

Hi John. for the main storage and support I've used 5 boxes sized 40 x 30 x 12 cm plus 1 30 x 20 cm. That leaves room on the opening side of the trunk for another 2 30 x 20 or some other boxes withouth support function. See minute 0:22 on this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brSkf9193rzSoWg.html for an overview. The number doesn't have to be exact, it depends how much "non boxed" storage you want to have on the rear seat side, where I usually place tent and sleeping bag.

Kenne diese Region auch gut, aber ich habe diese erste Leiter auch noch nicht gefunden. Die Querverbinderwege und die Rossweidliwiese mit nachher dem Fels mit Stahlseil, welcher zur Claridenhütte führt und nachher zum Denzlerweg; sind mir auch bekannt. Ebenso der Abzweiger, welcher zur Aussichtskanzel führt, wo man dann unterhalb hervorkommt. Laut meiner Einschätzung dauert das jedoch weit mehr als bloss 30 bis 40 Minuten. Auch wenn jemand spurtet, dauert das mindestens 40 bis 50 Minuten. Wenn man normal geht, dauert das so zwischen 50 Minuten bis mehr als eine Stunde.
