Micro Car Camping Bed Set Up Ideas for Couples and Solo Car Camping - Vauxhall Zafira Camper
Hi all, I have a Vauxhall Zafira Car Camper and already have quite a few different bed set ups for when I go Solo Car Camping.
But myself and wifey have been on the hunt for a better set up for when we go couples car camping again (have done it once together so far).
Cue this that wifey found:

And in this video you'll see how it all worked out 😀

The foam in my video was 70x20x3 - medium density

And it works sooo well 😄 We’ve only used these for couples car camping since we made them (my most recent vid is a couples ones)
Love it, ive been looking for a way of doing a bed set up but all the others involve precision cutting wood, pilot drilling and screwing, WAY too much effort for me

Hi Dave - ah sweet, I hope this and all my other tutorials give you both some ideas 🙏 We love going together, the only real difference is that the porta potti doesn’t come when we do couples 😂
Great idea mate .. at first I thought there not long enough 😂😂

I was a bit hmmmm when she said it, but alas she were right :) Yeah the chair and bed is basically the same length as the existing sun lounger :) I need a little extra for me - but otherwise seem to be perfect ;)
Looks fantastic!

Very handy set up! Plus in Winter, the plastic will resist mould better, because it’s non porous, and easy to clean 👌. People often forget how damaging condensation is…

Is your weight okay on the seats? Does it not cause damage? I'm currently trying to figure out the best way for me and my partner, but was worried about weights on seats so was going to build a platform over them, but this seems much better!

Hi Kayleigh, yeah with had no problems with these shelving unit jobbies - their supposed to hold 80kg/12 stone and tbh I’m a couple a stone north of that 12 and it’s still taking my weight :) If you look at my other bed ideas videos’s there’s a few ideas :)
Good idea :)

Hi ya - yeah they work really well ❤️ Hmm interesting question, in theory you could as they did just slot in, may take some welly to get them out, but am pretty sure there was nothing particularly holding them in other than pressure 😀
Proof is in the sleeping and that looks as uncomfortable as hell 😂

Hi y, we have used these now and surprisingly they worked really well 🙏 Think of the shelving unit as just a bed base and then the foam is the mattress 🥳
Camping car par excellence! On solo trips second unit could even be used for cooker, prepping and washing etc?🤔

Cheers David :) Great minds think alike - I did look at them and think oooh a table 😁 Will wait until the next car camp with the Mrs before use these as a solo - would be rude to use them solo first 😂
Would it work with a double matress if I push the tables close together?
@zafiracamper
Жыл бұрын
It would do yes :) We like the separate foams as gives you a little bit of legroom on the middle and at the ends :) (ps I’ve never tried my double air bed in the car so don’t know if one would fit “normally” or not 🤔
I am looking to try and fit 3 in a zafira. Do you think it would be possible to attach a hammock for someone to sleep over this setup. I'm thinking of somehow using the driver doors and back hatch?

Hi Yvette - tbh, I don’t think there would be room for a third that way. If you look at my video with The thumbnail “not again in” that’s the first time we used this setup and I’d say it’s fairly snug for 2. A third on top would pretty much mean no room for anyone :(
Brilliant idea. I'm making my car camper and got some great ideas from your videos. Would you mind tell me where did you buy the foam, please? Thanks for the videos

Great video again, I followed your idea and just received the sun lounger, awaiting for the foam to go with it. Regarding the curtain rail, do you happen to have a link as I'm struggling to source one similar to the one you've got

Excellent yeah the ends pop off - but you will need to cut the ceiling :) I think in my most recent Micro camper tour vid you can see how it fit :) I’ve another tutorial going live soon of a new window covering idea 🙏
why not just tilt the seat up a bit and support it so that it is flat?

Hi ya, sadly there’s no way you can make the middle row flat :( It’s either up completely (which is fine, but makes the bed size possible smaller) or down like on this vid so you have the raised ridge :)

😂 don’t get me wrong that would be rather cool, but essentially I’m making good with the car I have (family car 1st, camper as an added bonus) and this zaffy’s got many more years of life yet 😂
