Episode 1 - Jeep Renegade Camping setup 2.0

[@tobiasbrinkhoff2785]

A wonderful and very professional video. Thank you for that!! It was also very informative since I just recently got a Renegade myself and want to camp too. The video was also suprisingly relaxing to watch.

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Glad you liked it :) and I hope you'll have as much fun as I with your Renegade. Im planning to make another video soon so stay tuned

[@Mars2Point0]

This is where it's at bro. Nobody in sight. Not a sound of a freeway or commotion. Really wish I would have bought a new jeep like this. I've pissed away so much money only to come back to this. Which I really wanted most in the first place

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Hope your next vehicule will be a renegade :)

[@augievergara2465]

Just very simple.I admire this person,God bless.He’s happy,enjoy

[@hellboyofficiel2643]

Great video. Captivating and relaxing as Kayla said. I will have the Renegade 4xe in June and I'm looking forward to try some camping with it 😀

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Glad you liked the video Hellboy. Im really interested also with the new Renegade 4xe but Im not sure if/when it'll be available in canada! Let me know how you like yours when you get it :)

[@chatter7653]

This was well done and had some good ideas for ‘how’ to camp. Thanks. Subscribed.

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Glad you liked the video, I appreciate the feedback :) and if you're looking for a simple way to add a tarp on a vehicle to hang out when it rain you might want to watch episode 3

[@kayla_01235]

Love the video, & love our renegade. Honestly enjoyed no voice over. Was somewhat relaxing 😌

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Thanks for your comment Kayla! Glad you liked the video

[@SimplySybella]

Magnificent video. Can’t wait to start car camping !

[@TheJroy1991]

Beau Setup, j'aime bien l'idée des balles de Tennis sous la chaise pour eviter de piquer dans le sol.

[@cellularrepublic1]

This is awesome dude, nice setup!

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Glad you like it!

[@elbowsout6301]

Even the video was quiet and peaceful. When I spotted the Sobeys bag I figured you must be Canadian :) You can get the windshield covers from the Dollarama for like 4 loonies.

[@MrAntonioJaco]

Gostei da ideia! Vou fazer isso também aqui no Brasil.

[@JesseDiMarro]

Excuse me Where you by the proteccións for the windows?

[@uweswanderungen]

Platz ist in der kleinsten Hütte! 😉👍

[@Falling_Down_D-FENS]

Nice.. i use a thicker roll up matt the size of a sleeping bag

[@Bert_Zerk]

I’m going car camping in my renegade. What did you use between the front and back seat to rest on besides the sleeping mat? When I was taking a look at how I’m going to set mine up there is a gap between my seats no matter how I position them. Looks like you have another mat underneath everything hooked to your front seats. Was wondering what that is and where to get it

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I bought it from amazon. Its a non slip and waterproof cargo liner designed to protect the whole back area while carrying pets like a big dog or something. It has a few velcro spots that will stick it down in place and snaps to the 2 front head rest as show in the video. Its wasnt expensive like 40$ canadian. It doesnt feel cheap or thin, very sturdy. Look for pet cargo liner waterproof on amazon, you sure will find one that will fit. Unfortunately the one I bought isnt sold anymore but I found others. Take measurement of the cargo area to be sure its large enough. I didnt like the idea of a wood plateform and Im glad I went with this. Its cheap and does the job. Plus its waterproof and protect the whole cargo area. I hope you will have as much fun as I do camping with your Renegade :)

[@Bert_Zerk]

@@DBluetheRenegade thanks for the reply. I’ll search for something similar

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I should also add that I wouldnt sit right on that gap without the red mat over the cargo liner. First it wouldnt be very comfortable anyway and it distribute my weigh over a larger area.

[@Bert_Zerk]

@@DBluetheRenegade thanks. I recently bought a self inflating mat

[@wyheel]

Wonderful! Can you tell me what make and model of window screen/shades you got? They are exactly what Ive been looking for. Thanks

[@DBluetheRenegade]

It was from amazon but TBH, I had to buy 3 different shades, tried them on and only kept the best fitting one, cost me about 40$ (2*20$) because it came in pairs of 2, needed 4. Im not sure which of them I had bought exactly but i suggest searching for keywords like: Car Window Shade, Car Sun Shades, Stretchy Mesh, Stretchable Breathable Mesh

[@NucaARMY]

How do you turn off the cargo lights when your tailgate is open? I have a tailgate tent and that’s a concern that they will drain my battery on my Rene

[@brescacingiacomo]

They shut off after X amount of time

[@thescoroots]

Nice Camping brother

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Thanks for watching :)

[@donniebraham6156]

Nice set up

[@MrGeek847]

I appreciate this video. As far as the Renegade itself, did you have to deal with the oil consumption testing and/or Module reset remedy? I saw one 2018 Renegade I liked. Had fun test driving and everything but read about new engines due to oil consumption. This one had 37k miles and now when I look for used ones, they are all low miles like that. How is your Renegade doing?

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Hi Mr Geek! My Renegade has just passed 150,000 KM (about 93205 miles) and I bought it new in april 2019. So, 3 years and 6 months ago. I've been driving it a lot to visit places but also working as an IT field service technician, so I'ld say my Renegade has seen a lot of highways, city streets and a good amount of offroad/no pavement. I heard about the oil consumption troubles on Renegades shortly after buying it. At first I was worried but, knock on wood, I've never experienced the problem. And its not because I havent put miles (km here in canada) on it. I did the first couples oil changes myself just to be sure. So far, no major problem except expected normal maintenance. I must say that I bought a trailhawk, so it might be because trailhawks arent prone to the oil consumption prob..? But then again about 18 months ago I received a letter about the recall. I started chatting around with other owners and I decided not to let anyone mess with it because I havent experienced the problem. I think they wanted to reprogram something, they were not even replacing any part. I havent search around to see if other people had their problem solved by doing this. Theres this forum (jeeprenegadeforum) where I like to chat with other Renegade owners, you might want to check it out.

[@MrGeek847]

@@DBluetheRenegade High respect to you and your response! I sort of was already starting to look at that forum because I was seeing myself becoming apart of the Renegade family lol. I apologize for bringing this up but I’m like you, I research BUT I also go by self experience meaning I don’t look for things and if it’s something I’ve been working on myself, I wouldn’t take anywhere else either. Saying that, I knock on wood with you. I know every owner didn’t have this problem, it was just refreshing to see a good experienced review. I haven’t given up yet on it lol. Thank you again for your response and transparency! 👍🏾

[@cheikhmbengue1108]

nice jeep I got the same one but I don't know where to camp in north Florida

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Theres nothing wrong with going to a regular campsite, especially to test out new gear :) go out and have fun

[@prptropical]

Thanks a lot for the video it's very helpful, quick question do you know where is the location of the AWD sensor? Please help me All wheel drive Sensor location feel Renegade 2015

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Im not really sure where it is but theres this forum I like for all questions about Renegades etc.. www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/forums/

[@euphoricdysphoria]

Love the video. I’d be worried that bears or other animals will want to get into the vehicle since the windows are slightly open. Should I put all of my food in my second vehicle overnight?

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Happy you liked the video :) it depends where you are camping but my guess is whatever would try to break in it would get scared as hell when it sees me. I'ld make noise and scare him away. Here in Quebec theres black bears but nothing really dangerous or as big as a grizzly

[@FernandoPereira-d5w]

Another thing: where are the weapons, my friend?

[@kateprothero4418]

What did you put over the windows? Are those screens?

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I found this on amazon, I think it was called "car window shade". Really cheap and act like a screen and gives some privacy at the same time

[@mondociaociao]

Except the food, it's all very nice! (sorry, I'm Italian, we are a little obsessed with food).

[@DBluetheRenegade]

Youre right thats not the best.. I prefer to cook something great over the fire

[@mondociaociao]

@@DBluetheRenegade Bravooooo! good food is very important to be happy! ☺

[@lowlandraised7266]

Quick question, did you stick anything under the false bottom part of your cargo area to make it stronger to support weight? I am a heavier guy and I do not want to just be held up by the trim piece lip around the cargo area xD

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I have not made any upgrade to the flooring and I never noticed any problem. But its a good question that I never thought about. After reading around about a possible weight limit for the inside of the trunk area I have not found an official info about it from Jeep. I've talk to people that have hauled big load of cement mix and stuff from 400 to 700 lbs without any problem. There must be a limit but Im not sure what it is. From experience I dont think we need to worry about that since most of the weight, aka my butt lol, is situated on the laid down backseat instead of the false floor.

Where can I find the window covers and mattress you used? Looks great!

[@DBluetheRenegade]

The windows cover I got from amazon.ca, unfortunately the exact link doesnt exist anymore but you can find many identical ones. I bought 3 different set before I finally found one fitting perfectly, and got a refund for the other set. Trial and error to find the ones that will fit your vehicle windows. The mattress is from mec.ca www.mec.ca/en/product/5025-645/Reactor-6.5-Sleeping-Pad?colour=Red/Coal It wasnt cheap but comfortable and compact when I roll it up.

[@therealbigfoot1854]

In between getting a renegade, 2017 patriot, or a wrangler (wrangler seems kind of over the top for me, but its also spacious for car camping). Is the renegade spacious? I've seen a lot of them and they're almost a foot smaller than sedans, which concerns me a bit.

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I think the Patriot has a tad bit bigger cargo space but Im not sure how much bigger it is. I really liked the Patriot and almost bought one instead of the Renegade. As seen in the video, the Renny doesnt gives a perfectly flat space to sleep, theres a slight incline because the front passenger seat doesnt go down all the way. At first I thought it wouldnt be comfortable but I kinda like it now while sleeping. Also, I've spent a couple days chilling with the rear door opened because of rain. I would pull up the front passenger seat just a little so I would sit me up and be comfortable. Its like an adjustable bed I can lay or sit in. The Renegade was just right for me but it might not be for everyone. I dont think you can have 2 people sleep in my setup. The front driver seat doesnt get down as far as the front passenger seat. I mean maybe if my girlfriend was no more than 5 feet tall maybe but the leave close to no space for cargo stuff while sleeping. I know it might sound weird to do but, before buying my Jeep 3 years ago, I went a couple time at the dealership and asked if I could just put down the back seats and try it out and measure how much space there really is, even lay in it, :) you're paying so dont be shy

[@TornikeChkhikvadze]

can you share window net link? I wonder where you bought it

[@DBluetheRenegade]

I cant find the link because I bought these 5 years ago but it was on amazon, I searched for car window shades. I bought 3 different kind because I wasnt sure which one would fit better. So I tried them all and returned the other 2. I suggest you do the same :)

Its a 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. I love that little SUV, so far no issues except normal maintenance and I put 85000km on it.

Please name model youre camping kettle ?

Ich mag den Jeep Renegade sehr, aber er ist doch klein und bietet wenig Platz, so dass ich mich für ein anderes Fahrzeug entscheiden werde. Grüße ronactive

[@DBluetheRenegade]

You're right it is a compact setup, it suits me well for the places I wanna go. But might not be the right setup for everyone. That was the goal of my video, letting you see how Renegade camping looks like. Have fun shopping around for a vehicule that suits you :)
