I Spent 30 Days in My Minivan Camper and Found the PERFECT Setup!

Brilliant idea with the lumber for backing into the tent. I’m sure the dogs are loving all the time together with you. They are so sweet! 💕🇨🇦

[@ChessiesAdventures]

This set up is awesome I love your tent. What a wonderful friend you have. 🎉 okay I see your babies are loving the trip just as much as you do. Everyone stay safe.

Thanks so much

An emergency blanket....those "space blankets" that backpackers use spread on the roof and clipped to the luggage rack so that it's elevated a few inches from the roof of the car will reflect the sun and creat shade. The cushion of air between the two is more insulation. In addition the effect is like being under a bridge, there is a sort of 'wind tunnel' effect.

Cool, thanks for the tip!!

[@tamarap387]

Where do you store tents and chairs and tables and crates etc? I didn't see a roof top box or anything!! Looks like such a lovely spot! Wonderful friend you have there!

[@ChessiesAdventures]

I was parked on a friend's property. So I had taken the rooftop box off before making that video.

[@dawnyoumans2472]

I'm Happy to find your videos I live with two pitties and a Doberman in my town and country. I really need to get one of those tents to fit on my van, I live in the van Im disabled and homeless would do videos but I don't have camera's or all that fun stuff lol. Thank you for the video's i enjoy them

[@ChessiesAdventures]

I'm glad you're here! Yes, you need a little more space with those furkids...where are you located?

[@dawnyoumans2472]

Nice setup. With three dogs you definitely need the 10x10. I’m tossing between getting the Napier and the joy Tutus, which is only 7.? X 7 something. I only have one dog and want to be as small as possible. Any opinions?

[@ChessiesAdventures]

Thanks if I only had one dog. I would probably still have the same size. Just so I have room. But what I would suggest is to get a tent that has a rain. Fly where you can still have ventilation. Because with mine when I put the rain fly on. It keeps the tent dry, but it covers up all the window screens. And I don't like that.

[@MaryAmesMitchell]

Thanks
