the pop top is a game changer! You totally freed up the "downstairs" for just living room stuff.

The second set-up gives even more room downstairs, which I love even more.

I"m about to buy a 2004 Honda Element and came across your wonderful video. I really appreciated all the info. Thank you very much. I loved the message at the end, we all should be kind to our planet. Hope you and Nemo Enjoy the outdoors for many years to come. I'll try to do the same with my green Honda Element. Thank you again for the video

I love how practical this is - with the boxes. Makes it so versatile too.

That sink solution is genius! Love her setup, wishing her safe travels & happy trails. :)

I could listen to you talk all the time , enjoyed your project.

best sink/water solution I've ever seen in an element. Thanks for the video.

Hey, that's cool - thanks!

Wow, this is from 7 years ago. Came to me as I’ve Been looking at Elements recently. You’ll probably never see this note, but in case you do I wanted to say THANK YOU, as there are some very nice ideas here. I hope you’re doing well!

Genuinely the best car tour I’ve seen. So well thought out and simple but useful storage, adaptable space. Just amazing little rig. 🤙🏻 just got an element recently too! Thanks for all the tips and ideas!

Thanks! I like my second set-up better, but only because I have the pop up top. Otherwise I'd still be with the boxes.

I love this! I have been thinking about buying a honda element and doing a little road trip. This was so helpful, and I will do it!

That whole sink/water situation is just genius! Nice work. Thanks for sharing!

This is AWESOME...thank you!!! I've been enamored with Elements since borrowing my uncle's. At the time he lived in Anchorage and my wife and I took it on our pre-wedding honeymoon...from Anchorage to Seward, to Ketchikan, hopped the Ferry to Homer and the Kenai...we took it everywhere...AND it had (has..he still owns it!) an eCamper as well! So our 2003 Corolla just died at 250,000 miles so I'm desperately trying convince my wife to let us get a 2008 or newer model. This is an incredible video that...God willing we get the Element...I'll be coming back to make use of your stellar ideas...thank you!

One of the best conversions I've seen so far

Woohoo! There's so much creativity to be had in an Element!

What a great set up! Thanks for also giving detailed info on the products you used.

Nice ideas, thanks for posting. Can't believe Honda stopped making them! And thanks for posting all the name brands, very helpful. Have a great adventure :)

Thank you so much for this wonderful video with all of your excellent solutions ! Love the sink , water pump , loo with sawdust andsugru and organizers. So helpful! I am just outfitting my Element and thanks to you I will purchase many of your excellent recommendations! So lucky to find wild Mountain goat fur on the trail! I hope you gathered this gift from the goats. It’s so easy to use a drop spindle to make mohair yarn . You could knit or crotchet a hat to wear camping! Thanks AGain for all the Element conversion help.

Amazing tips that I hadn’t heard of before, thank you for posting!

Thanks so much for sharing... I've just planned a road trip and I love what I've learned here.

Great little car conversion.

i just got an element and i am completely in love with the car

Very nice set up ...i am soon getting a ursa j30 for my JK...it really gives you more room to do all the other storage and seating. Makes you want to camp out all the time

Thanks for sharing. Good to know that the company has a plant in Portland. You did great in your build.

Fabulous video! Such clarity and vision

Everything perfect. The project, organization, intelligence, explanation and, light years above, the lady (a fairy?), she's extremely beautiful! Please, accept my congratulations!

Thanks for the info on the cup holder. Install it yesterday and works great.! Happy Elementing!

I am subscriber 500. I have been looking at.my Element Ele Blu for years knowing she can do more than she is doing today. Thank you.

Thank you for change the Element more fun and more practical . I think Honda people pleased and that's what Element was built for it

hoping to get an Element soon....love your set up and may try it when I get my own.....I have a Ford conversion van but need something smaller for around town and the Element is top of my list....with some conversions, this will make a sweet camper.

It really can. The biggest downfall is its small size for long-term camping, BUT the positive is that it's not too big so that it can be a legitimate daily car.

Great video! Nemo is really coming along!

Excellent report, great conversion, really nice presentation style. Thanks.

Thanks for some great ideas. I'm going with what I have, a Nissan Versa, which is not a particularly convenient space. The sugru will solve several problems, as will your elastic holdall setups. Also, well done for your tidy and well-explained organisation!

The Suguru adhesive is great with one caveat; it’s kinda expensive and each package once opened, cures pretty quickly, so make sure you have uses for a full package before opening. Thanks for the tour and for the great ideas.💡

You made that Honda Element a Next Level Vehicle. Great Job. Honda really needs to release an updated version of the Element. It is way over due.

Thanks for sharing, I got a lot of ideas and inspiration for my element watching this.

Great video! Loved your tour of your Element!

Awesome camper! Love the sink ingenuity, and will be looking for that sugru stuff! I've never heard of it, and hot glue for attaching hooks and things in my Scion Xb has not worked well at all.. I want an Element! Wish I would've discovered all these Element videos before buying my Xb recently, but I am grateful for it. Great vid!

Wow. Nice job on the camper and really nice job on the video. I love your style.

Adding the pump makes life easier for sure...Great idea

Your video inspired me to check AUTOTRADER and I FOUND a 2007 in the same Tangerine BUT with fog lights, side curtain air bags and the seat belt is attached to the seat instead of the door. Today is my 62nd birthday and I hope that I like how the Element handles when I go for the test drive and if I do purchase it, will convert it as you have yours, just no pop up camper at the top since I'm not strong enough to get up there but use a blow up mattress and pack that thing on top when not in use.. I think it will be liberating to drive across the country at my own pace. It's the perfect size for it
