First Solo Kei Car Camping during Heavy Rain Warning

This time, I went car-camping alone in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, after making a few modifications to a used light van that I bought for 370,000 yen.
I enjoyed my first overnight stay in a car at my secret base by a dammed lake, where the only sound was that of the pouring rain.

We are a family of three: husband (Shin), wife (Ayako), and daughter (Yuri), both around 40 years old and our only daughter.
We bought the campervan of our dreams, the Corde Leaves, so that our daughter could have a variety of experiences!
We will enjoy our hobby of outdoor activities, such as camping, staying in the car, mountain climbing, and fishing, while traveling all over Japan.
In addition, we would like to share with you how we made the campervan more comfortable by DIY and our daily life using the camper.

[@golling3245]

It's amazing how similar men all over the world are when they're alone. 😄 When eating, there's always meat, a beer and something important is always forgotten. 😭. Very good film, Mr. Shin. Thank you

[@lasparviera3566]

dai, tutto il mondo è paese si dice qui da me 🤣😉

[@golling3245]

​@@lasparviera3566True, but it's still amazing that despite cultural differences, we men have so much in common. I think that's great. 😄👍

[@LeavesDiary88]

😁

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

Without a woman to tell them that the same pot they boiled rice in can be used to boil water for coffee? 😂

[@jessieho8314]

Thank you for all the filming to show the reality of van camping especially coming out in the middle of rain at night. Enjoying your simple and possibilities of simply living.

[@sharonschick9902]

You are doing a good job changing your Kei Car. It's good to see you enjoying solo trips. Look forward to the next one.

[@LeavesDiary88]

😊👍

[@moxiedawn4370]

The flooring of the van looks beautiful. You did a great job! Take Yuri with you next time. It would be fun to see a father/daughter adventure!

[@Happy4ms64]

hi there That was so neat to see . I know that the rain was way too noisy at times 🤷🏻‍♀️. It look like u had ur self a relaxing time 😊👍🏼. Can’t wait to see more new videos till I will watch the old ones especially the ones from winter. Ur friend in Michigan USA, Rita

[@agnesyee7732]

A simple overnight solo camping can be so relaxing and refreshing for mind and body. 👍👍 thanks for bringing us along. .

[@moneapaksan9389]

I used to live in a little bigger van, a Chevy Astro for about 4 months while working out of town. Rent was just too expensive so I decided to convert my work van into a home away from home. Did the same kind of thing. Simple food and whiskey because winter in the Bay Area, California is cold.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

I enjoyed this video. I particularly like your battery and inverter as i have that same inverter in my small solar power system running many of my appliances in my home. Greetings from the island of Jamaica.

[@AngryBean8462]

Great adventure, Shin san! Oh, and impeccable soundtrack! Very cool 😎

드디어 신상 홀로 차박을 하는군요. 줄기찬 빗소리 들으며 혼자만의 시간을 갖는 것도 좋습니다. 재밌게 잘 보았어요~~ 아야꼬씨가 궁금하겠어요. 냄비에 물끓이세요.ㅎㅎ 처음이라.. 조금 부족해도 괜찮습니다.~~

[@areareare9953]

Don't forget to buy a desiccant tub to use in the car when sleeping - that should be good enough to reduce the humidity inside since the car is relatively small. And while it's too late now, you could have used your rice bowl thing to boil the water for your coffee before making the porridge. Next Time.

[@lasparviera3566]

esatto, poteva bollire l'acqua e farsi il caffè, e poi via di colazione

[@LeavesDiary88]

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Keep it simple, Shin. To much will clutter your space. To bad about your power cord for the kettle. I like how you did your floors. Very well thought out. I enjoyed your first solo car camping trip. The window covers turned out very nice.

[@LeavesDiary88]

😊

[@shaggymcdaniel3216]

I wish we in the US had quality fleet vans like you guys have. I’m stuck with a Ford Transit Connect. The Honda and Toyota Fleet vans look incredible and we all know they last.

07.09 They are not discharging water from dam. That it is the water which normally comes out from the generators turbine. And it seems that beer is magic: it never ends...

お疲れ様です(ΦωΦ)ゞ スズキエブリイ系なら部品供用している事もあって 内張りの爪とも言われるピンは流用できたりしますが エブリイ以外だと、内張りピンが破損した場合が厄介なので 内張りピンの買い置きしておくと安心かと思います 工具ドライバーに似た内張りはがしは 自作DIYには必須で、内張りはがしについては 大小の内張りはがしを持っていると便利と聞いてます 雨模様にて車中泊してみて 軽自動車は、ワゴン仕様であっても もともとが商用バンの構造なので 雨粒がクルマのボディに当たると 防音対策されていないのは分かったんじゃないかと思います 車中泊仕様は、エブリイを参考にできたはずで あと リアゲート扉に、施錠ロックと開閉ロックがあります 開閉ロックにひと工夫を加えますと 内側からリアゲート扉を開閉できたりします 電源不要のソーラー式換気扇は 窓枠と窓ガラスにはめ込むので取り付けは簡単と思います
