    My father taught me to make pancakes. His favorite breakfast for Sunday mornings. When you make your pancakes and you flip them over for the first time do not take your spatula and smash them down. You want to keep them light and fluffy. When you smash them, the middle gets a weird texture. Don’t smash them down, give it a try. PS just another little tip. You will know when it’s time to flip them for the first time is when you stop seeing the bubbles 🥞

I don’t see me doing this on a permanent basis, but I would love to set up my 2012 Jeep Patriot for traveling to see my family members who live out of state! Would save a ton of money not having to do the motel thing! Thanks for sharing your setup! You gave me a ton of useful ideas and info that will help me set my Patriot up! God bless and safe travels for you and Sam!

    Just got a Patriot myself. Been viewing van camping channels for months but now that I got the Jeep (Jeep fam for decades tho!) looking for folks who are doing this with Jeeps to get ideas. I’m bummed though to see that Jeep changed their Patriot seats! My Patriot’s seat cannot lay flat forward like that. It can lay flat backwards but then I cannot fold my backseat forward and no leg room 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ So, love getting ideas from everyone though!

    This is how I did it, keep it simple. I did this for 8 months during the summer of 2016; one of the best years of my life I think. It was a little lonely, it would be nice to try to meet like minded people to travel with eventually. I plan on doing something like this somewhat full time eventually.

    I like your set-up! Thanks for sharing it. I had converted my 2002 Jeep Liberty for camping, my Jamper. For more vertical storage in the back, I used 2 shelves and their legs from a black plastic 5-shelf unit I bought at Walmart. You can saw the legs to a custom height easily with a handsaw and put carriage bolts through the legs into the tie-down points. We still had room to stretch out, because we put our feet under the bottom shelf. Bottom shelf was a great height for laptop for working too. I was so bummed when the Patriot did not have the length or headroom of the Liberty. So, I went with a Subaru Outback for camping now, my Camparu. Safe travels! (May I suggest a first aid kit, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher?)

    So happy to see someone using the Patriot for this. Hoping to do some overlanding with mine this winter. One Patriot owner to another, be sure to have the CVT Transmission fluid and filter changed every 30,000 miles. The owners manual calls for longer intervals, but they won’t last long with long intervals between service. Also, watch the rust on the subframes both front and rear. Keep it up man, great setup!!
