One of the first steps is to simply fold down the seats of the vehicle to maximize the space. If you’re going to camp in a car, a station wagon is one of the best choices.

Next, custom shelving for storage was built and added to the vehicle. This will make it easy to store and retrieve items without clutter and hassle.

And yes, even a little vanity with a sink and paper towel holder was added to the conversion. It’s accessed from the rear. With more time, one might even be able to design and build a pull-out camping kitchen too!

And finally, there’s the all-important bed platform. Car camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors without having to backpack or hike into a remote location. It also allows you to bring along more gear and supplies than you could carry on your back, making it a great option for longer camping trips.

Cool!! : )
He did a fantastic job! Great use of space. Looks great! I’d love to know the name/brand of bed slats that were used. You know, it makes an older woman smile seeing these builds. Somehow, I managed to turn every single vehicle I owned into a rolling bedroom at minimum. Glad to see it hasn’t gone outta style! 👍🏼
