EASY Car Camper Conversion

Комедия

I converted my Peugeot 307SW Estate Car into a camper van! ... or more like a camper car? This is a really simple conversion that you can do at home with some basic materials - just wood and plywood!

    I have a volvo 940, perfect for sleeping in. A few mods, get the rears tinted, limo tint. Then for the rear windows, some cellax insulation cut to size, permanently fitted (for camp trips) the door windows have the same, stored under the rear panels. Back window gets the same treatment. Set of heko wind deflectors allow the rear windows to be cracked open and it's the only time I'm glad of a windy window car. I split the front from the rear with a curtain, with a small clip on either side of the plastic trim. All luggage goes in the roof box. In the autumn it's very snug. Like you have, thin memory foam roll up mattress and a wool quilt, the rear is completely flat with the seats down. Perfect. And it can all be easily reverted to a passenger car.

    Thanks.Good to see it. Not sure if my rear seats in the Skoda Superb estate actually come all the way out though. Insulating against the cold might be an interesting problem to overcome. I think with the keys in the ignition and I had the front seat heaters on, the engine would start up intermittently automatically all through the night to ensure I wasn't running the battery down too much. That might be perfect or a perfect nuisance.

    I’ve got a idea to remove the back seats and passenger seat then make a flat bed with box roof in a L shape curved over the passenger side window opening at the boot for access with padding down the left sleeping side and draws/tabletop on the right.. I hope that’s understandable but I’m just unsure about the legality of this isit ok to do ? I’ve got a vw polo too haha nice and compact 😉

    Hi sorry Ryan just seen this! I never had any problems just wanging a bed in the back. Also unsure about insurance/legality side of things, however I have been towed out of a ditch on my insurance, and it has also been impounded due to parking somewhere I shouldn't have, not once did anyone mention the wooden contraption in the back of the car or the sheets on it - ofcourse research for yourself and decide how cautious you want to be :)

Im satisfied with mine overall, couldnt travel a lot because the corona hit, but im gonna try it this folowing weekends on some camping and fishing trips..

I imagine you don't even need to take out the passenger seat.., you just modify the seat so it has a hole in it so you can stretch your legs through it. Behind the drivers seat you could have the kitchen.. it would be absolutely awesome to see
