when I was a kid my parents had a van that carried our family of 5 and all of us were able to sleep inside. I slept in a hammock that was strung crossways across the drivers and passenger seats. Personally, I thought I had the best spot up there. The seats in back folded out to a mattress for my parents. My older sibling slept on the floor under their heads crossways as well, and the youngest slept in her playpen between the front seats and back area. There was a cooler, little pump sink, and we had the standard coleman stove for camping at a picnic table. We could all eat inside too, or play cards on the table that swung up from the side of the van. It was an awesome van, 60's -70's era.

So cool

You are so creative with these small spaces. Great job.!

Glad that you guys found a sleeping solution for the trip instead of having to possibly loose money going to motels.

This is such a cool setup! Your boys are going to remember this for years to come!

Haha. That is a really old setup. Will be doing another youtuber's element soon.

By the time you take everything apart in the morning you'll be tired enough to go right back to bed. Perfect.

pretty clever set up, have fun on your adventure....I hope you post about it

Nobody would ever think 3 people could sleep in a car lying flat out, but if you need to you can. I think this could provide an amazing solution to many homeless people or people who need or want to save on money while being in transit. I mean you can pay for a night at a hotel or motel but how often is that truly a worthy experience? Even if you have enough money, it's always good to live resourceful!

Working on another element. I may try another 3 bed setup one day. Haha

I'm so glad I found your channel loved your video I just purchased a Element myself my wife and I are excited to go camping like this soon

I have a bunk for my two big dogs, (I have a short regular van) When I have someone with me we need 4 beds. You have lots of great tips! Thank you!

Good set up I'm going to have to set up something that sleeps three. Thanks for the ideal.

you are a great builder, you show me somethings,,,, I can do with my Element, Thank you for showing us, may your days go beautiful thank you again

I love this channel. You have many great ideas. Thanks for sharing them.

Man, this makes me really, really miss my 2003 Element. I’ll be subscribing just to live vicariously through you until I get another one. Just not practical in the city I moved to, but one day I’ll have another. Great job.

That's Bad ass good job. I Like the cot/platform very ingenious man. I like how you can break it apart so that it wont use a lot of space when put way.

Very impressive. You did a great job👍

Wow sooooo well done , I like to see people video with so incredible imagination , bravo

If it can be done, you will figure it out! Great ideas!

Absolutely brilliant 👏, love it.

Impractical but amazing you design a system to carry and sleep three in an Element.

great camping car hack. I had the same upper bed hack idea for my truck Dodge Ram1500, your idea will surely make mine work now, head to CABELA'S to look for the "Disc O Bed" .

There is now a trundle version so you don't have to buy the bunk if you only need one bed. $150 ish

One could easily get a fourth and possibly fifth bed in there.

Looks like you really thought that out well.

I have a few different configurations, this 3 person sleeper is not the most comfortable but it gets the job done. I have since updated the 3 person setup a bit. You can check it out in my other video. I’m glad I chose the element over a van myself.

@@Tiny-Campers Im a small guy so that kind of set up is perfect for me.

is that a factory design for the seat to stow like that? I really like the repurpose of that bunk bed, we used those in hotels several times when traveling for the little guys.. Id say, dad built it dad gets the high bed!

@Tiny-Campers

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Factory design. Element was a great car. I sure miss it.

So much work...Try setting this up in a rainstorm....everything needs to come out of Element, everything and everyone will get wet. and just hope the person/kid on top is potty trained, or it will be a golden shower at night for all below!

The whole reason I like to sleep in my car is so I don't have to set up my tent, sleeping pad, etc... This seems like WAY more work than a tent, so I'm not sure what the point is...

You’re a genius

Rebecca, you have sharp eyes, that floor bed is indeed at an angle. This is by design since my idea is to keep your torso in the most open area. That angle allows you not only have a little more length room, but will get your torso (or legs) further away from the cabinet. It does bother my eyes a bit too, but while sleeping, you will appreciate the extra space.

Cool idea too much work

I agree Velia, the camera work almost made me puke. Regardless of the content, if you intend to have people watch it; the camera work is important. Learn to use a camera or have a friend that has experience help. I think the only people that will stick with it are people that have an Element and are desperate to pack three people into it for camping.

Lets see how many ridiculous things you can do to your Honda Element channel.

I have a headache now

Three dudes in an element. Better leave the windows down.

As a one or two person set up they are cool, but 3 would make more sense to just get a tent.

That is ridiculous

That’s nothing. Didn’t college guys put 10 adults in a VW?

Hmnnm Will it be more comfortable than a tent? No Will it be more convenient and easier to implement than a tent? No Will it be safer than a tent? Not sure... Verdict: I am going for a tent against this setup

Maybe two adults & a baby.

too much work

I felt nauseous watching this video it was so shaky
