Camperizing a Honda Civic to live in

This video is a tour through my 2009 Honda Civic which I have managed to outfit with amenities for living. Hopefully this will give others the idea on what's possible to do with their cars.
Some stuff not mentioned in the video:
- I have a cooler in the front seat. It fits a big block of Ice and keeps stuff refridgerated for 4 days. I sometimes buy milk or meat to grill and put it in there.
- The glove compartment is stocked with first aid supplies. Theres also pockets on thhe doors filled with things and I do have a battery jump starter/spare charger in there behind the spare water jug.
- The whole thing cost around $400-500. That includes the wood, screws&washer, hinges, latches, magnets, curtains, water carrier, food safe tubing, carpet and memory foam. I also bought the grill for $120 but thats something I wanted anyway, for camping.

He would somehow build a water park in the shower room without the guards knowing.

How the hell did you do all this shit while you were homeless? You were probably one of the most productive homeless people in the world when you did this. Especially with the storage unit.

[@76Schoeneberg30]

That guy is a fukking genius, Mcguyver for real. He could work as a car engineer for big companies. Maximum use for minumum space, also in his storage room in the other video. Great car. I just wonder why he didnt buy a cheap minivan like a chrysler voyager and installed this features. He would have lot more space in it when he takes the backseats out.

[@Dtuned69]

It's a Honda Civic, not a Prius...

[@chankim6203]

Dtuned oh what the hell. my bad. he shoulda done a minivan then

[@thegriningnumber12]

Probably because he already had it from when he became homeless

[@nadiao220]

Possibly for gas reasons.... Honda’s are AWESOME when it comes to gas mileage

[@james_fisch]

I've been planning on doing something like this with my 2012 Civic as it's pretty likely I'll have an unsteady future for a while. Might as well get comfy with it. Not only do you show off an enormous amount of craftsmanship and enthusiasm, not once knocking yourself down for saying "could be better" or "yeah I know it's ugly." You do this for you, and this is the kind of esteem more people need. My great grandfather would have loved a video like this. During the great depression, he spent a lot of spare time putting stuff together from scrap, unused furniture, and didn't care how cheap it might look. What a generation. Your video is awesome, dude. I'm going to follow some of the examples to put into my car soon. Thanks!

[@imaniringgold9744]

with a creative mind like that you shouldn't be camping out in cars

I'd argue that camping out in cars is why he has that mind. Necessity is the mother of invention.

[@Well_possibly]

Very well done, especially having the gas stove in the open air (the only safe way), water available while driving or lying down, and access to food day or night!

[@TimpBizkit]

And when my propane stove isn't powerful enough, here's how I flame grill my stakes (removes exhaust manifold) and places grill over cylinder outlets REV REV REV REV!! And you can see the V-Tec gives extra browning to seal in those steaks quickly..... Uh oh my wiring has caught on fire!

Horizon notice that I said he would never need... never said he had something to hide nor be shameful of. The dudes got some skills that look to prove he has the ability to fix whatever a mechanic may, hence he never would need to go to one

Next time put a piece of paper over your license plate so you dont have to edit

[@DaneCutcliffe2]

Or just use camera tracking and blur it out...

[@Calimariyum]

the whole point of his comment is finding a way to "cover" the licence plate without using camera tricks.

[@Vortecs]

Or just use KZbin's video manager's enhancements: custom blurring.

[@HighFidelityFox]

will johnson or don't blur it at all because that number is useless to everyone else

Without a doubt your set up is the most ingenious set up for a car I've seen sofar. Is so practical, and very well set up. Is comfortable, easy access to everything you need, and not over done whatsoever. It's a true stealth build, practical. I can imagine that even living in that set up can be possible.

What? That Civic isn't anything special either. If you're going to live in a shitbox, I say get a roomy shitbox to live in.

In UK our insurance would be invalidated with those modifications. I haven’t built in a bed or anything, just a specially cut mattress. No modifications at all. I car camp in a Honda Jazz as I only 5ft 3. I fold the the double seats down which are behind the front passenger seat which I push forward a bit..and flip up the single seat to have floor to ceiling height. My potty lives there . I use compost bags and horse pellets. I used old camping mats cut to exact shape of windows and they stay in place with friction. Cost me £9 to car camp my car. I don’t need to set up anything before bed it all ready and I leave it like that permanently whenI at home as I can fit two passengers in or do my shopping for normal day to day life. Love it!
