Jeep CAMPER Conversion TOUR - Full Bed & Kitchen

It took a month of hard work to convert this stock Jeep Wrangler into a camper. Now, after a road trip this Summer, I am finally ready to show you all my Jeep Camper! This is car camping on steroids; a custom built camper van of sorts that includes a full bed, kitchen and shower. It is perfect for road trippin' and living on the road as a photographer. After showing the initial build in a previous video, I am happy to share the final product! For me, this was the most practical way to get into #vanlife without actually owning a van. I hope you find some inspiration to do something similar. You don't need a van. You don't need a Jeep. It just takes the confidence and determination! Time to go Jeep camping!

Great build, I love seeing DIY campers like this. It shows that you don't need the expensive aftermarket stuff. Usually over time you figure out what works and what doesn't so you improve and evolve.

[@MyEcoJournal]

Exactly, already have plans for the spring to change some things

[@gungfuriceboy]

i can 'suggest'...after you move front seats 'forward' ( sleeping mode )...add a DARK 'curtain' behind front seats...to leave front driver/passenger/Windshield Alone...to Avoid Suspicious 'Peeps' walking by...thinking there is someone 'sleeping inside'!... i would try to keep bed platform as low as possible to 'Maximize' head room. For me...when platform too 'high'...i feel like i'm sleeping in a coffin ( due to ceiling...too close to my head...). Cheers from Canada..Safe Travels!!

[@lilhobo6342]

Why are you typing with so many quotes and "..."s

[@mdegregoris]

I think you have a great balance between a modified Jeep sleeper and a stealth camper. Nice job man

[@MyEcoJournal]

The stealth part has been very useful this year, Thank you!

[@millercory9242]

i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me!

[@davianforest2595]

@Miller Cory Instablaster ;)

[@millercory9242]

@Davian Forest Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@millercory9242]

@Davian Forest It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@lc6936]

This is probably my favorite setup that I’ve seen. It’s a very good balance.

[@skymarie9746]

Omg I love this when I turn 16 I was gonna do a van conversion but this this is sooooo amazing!!!

[@BUCKSHOTSTV]

Love your set up! I love camping in my Jeep Wrangler too! I don’t have a dedicated set up like you, but when I do go out for my random trips, I have a mattress in the back, and just stealth camp in random cities and for solo camping trips. I usually keep my 9 by my side since I like to sleep in areas such as bourbon st in New Orleans occasionally.

[@namastodd2490]

We too bought a pink RTIC cooler because we figured the probability of it being stolen was pretty low. It was my husband's idea - GENIUS!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Pink power!

[@tylerspray2939]

As of yesterday I just bought my first 3/4 plywood to start a very similar build in my 2018 jeep renegade trail hawk. Here we go!!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Happy building!

[@Heartwing37]

Dude, this is dope! Wish I had your skills to make something like this! Great job!

[@MarioMartinez-is1cg]

That setup is pretty cool. I like seeing ideas from different people and make up my own and what would work for me i really like this setup and the video was great and informative

[@wylde39]

You have seeded a dream in my heart that I will strive for years until I bring it into my life. I want the backroad freedom of a jeep and to be able to camp in the quiet wilds.

[@MyEcoJournal]

If theres a will theres a way!

[@normawatson6746]

Dream of mine as well and I'm striving for it

[@SimplyLesa]

Totally love it! I have a WJ without a platform bc I can sit up inside like in a tent. A Wrangler is my dream vehicle! I like the Thule box a lot, the awning is important in some locations and makes it feel like you have a living room or deck. I use a very inexpensive hikers tarp and attach it to the roof rails with bungee balls and carry adjustable awning poles budget was my concern. See ya on the road

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you! See ya out there (hopefully with your dream vehicle!)

[@kyfisher3662]

Amazing build, this is pretty much my dream build!

[@jim-se5xc]

Love the shorty two doors.

[@Im_zacc]

About your charging area.. I have the same thing and actually have the car charger leading to a 12v power strip so it charges my power everytime the jeep is on. Just food for thought. Absolutely love the build and am stealing some ideas man.

[@stryder2334]

Hey man can you drop a link to the power strip you use to do this? Looking to set my Jackery up similarly.

[@BRose1133]

Just now found your channel and I look forward to your upcoming adventures! As I Always say, Keep on Jeepin!!

[@MyEcoJournal]

That’s right! Keep on Jeepin!

[@mattwallace1370]

Well done with the slider for the cooler. Legit setup

[@MyEcoJournal]

Hardest part was that, thanks!

[@michaelblack312]

love the jeep setup. even more I love the beach scenery...where did you find such a beautiful private beach?

[@brianflores3820]

Nice! Yea i prefer sleeping inside the jeep as well rather than a pop up roof tent

[@turboash78]

This is awesome. I'll likely do something similar in my Commander some time in the future.

[@paigelorraine]

Good job on this! I love the wood platform how it folds out for your head

[@VivecaV2020]

Remarkable! So organized & it looks like you have the necessities!! I’m impressed!

[@CrosbyGraceTravels]

This is awesome! I'm finishing up my Jeep camper build right now and love the details you've got inside the car. Mine's definitely a little less fancy than yours but I may upgrade it in a few months!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Crosby Melendi Hey as long as there’s somewhere to sleep its good enough!

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

If yours is a JL, you may find some Camping ideas of mine helpful as well.

[@aaronshank4166]

Dude this thing is sick!

[@mopy8276]

Great Job, absolutey love it. Extremly smart is the phone holder under the roof😅👌 Keep on going :)

Much appreciated!

[@jatorresrv]

AWESOME ideas! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@bigballer151]

Dope setup bro.

[@julieince6869]

Awesome build!

[@UrduTravel]

I LOVE THIS SETUP, A TRUE MINIMALIST 😍

[@politiksman6935]

At first I was thinking I want a big van but then I got a pile of everything I would need to vanlife and I realized a jeep is perfect

[@urielalbertosanchezm]

This is the perfect conversion I was looking for

[@melvin5818]

The wrangler are really only good for one person with this set up. The new bronco looks bigger so hopefully it will be a amazing set up

[@MrHSIE]

Mate, sorry to see you had to be recovered by a Station Wagon. Other than that, great balance of Off-roader and Stealth Camper. I have the same model in Black. Love it. Keen to get out and camp much more.

[@megansalmans944]

This was amazing! Thanks for sharing all ur info! I want to convert a vintage jeep cherokee, so this will help a lot!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Megan Salmans You got it! Good luck 🍀

[@frankegan4368]

Nice to see another Massachusetts boy on here . I'm in the Boston area too . I'm building my 4x4 chevy van into a off road camper van .

[@purpledog9999]

Building one of these out right now. Really like your design and super helpful video! Thanks man

[@thriveshipcoaching]

You've done a great job! I'm setting up my jeep very similar. Only difference is I use roll bar soft bags for the back windows. They work magic.

[@thomasgarrison3949]

Great ideas, thank you, I am thinking of doing it for my new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport, 4 door, 2.0 turbo.

[@roberthalley]

This is so cool! Not sure if someone already suggested but a pool noodle or a foam pipe wrap/insulation cut in half would be great to cover the corners of the cabinets to protect your knees in case you bump on it.

[@madatsukaerude]

Nice conversion! I like the kitchen, cabinets, and battery. I am also converting my Cherokee XJ, so I really learned a lot from your video!

[@CanadianMapleleaf]

Wicked set up. Its a jeep, I missed the beginning and thought it was a van or something. :)

[@Faboost]

Very good 👍 I try like that for my jk 👌 thank’s for this video 🙏

[@rtshort]

Very NICE. Love it.

[@esincl52]

The only thing I'd add is a tailgate drop down table. Great build

[@MyEcoJournal]

Those are nice!

[@GreghouseVanBouten]

You nailed it man. Well done and thanks for sharing your insight!

[@rb30athorn]

Ive got a similar set up in my JKU! Been using it for a while! Much better than a RTT, less obvious, and can drive away from the the hungry bear without exiting the jeep!

[@countskittlz3397]

This is the perfect Jeep setup IMO. Nice job! 👍

[@MyEcoJournal]

Super kind and much appreciated, thanks

[@ronnieangeles]

Dude you have the best jeep set up

[@tylergolden9]

You can put your seat belt through the handle on the door and buckle it up. Makes it harder for someone to get in.

[@TinaICXCNIKA]

Nice!!! Found your video while perusing ways to future enhance my '93 Ford Bronco XLT camping enhancement. Thanks for the effort and links (loving the lightweight light strand and the Jackery...heard lots of good things about it)!

[@n5sdm]

Great home build. Props.

[@johnwalker3263]

Really like the camper, I did my sleeping platform and curtains a little different. I’d try to explain but it’s easier to watch the video on my channel. Thanks for sharing ideas as I’m constantly evolving my camping system!

[@MyEcoJournal]

John Walker Thanks I’ll check it out

[@Harmony1503]

Nice set up!

[@wilderjess]

holy Moses. the kitchen is bad ass. you clearly put lots of thought into this. I am preparing a tiny build for my Prius....with a twist. can't wait to venture from LA to Lake Michigan this holiday to test it!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you, I did plan as much as possible before starting, i hope the prius works out well!

[@wilderjess]

@@MyEcoJournal it will def be one of a kind...haha think... mobile disco

[@Morningdovecamp]

Wow!! Well done!! Thank you for sharing your ingenuity, creativity and skills with us! Good luck and enjoy! 👍🚗🌅🙏

[@sourpatch9797]

this build is great. hoping to do something similar in my patriot. thanks !

[@kitstanwood]

The coral cooler looks dope. It matches the grey. Nice job 🤙🏻

[@MyEcoJournal]

I figured I’d spice things up!

[@JenneilParks]

You've made me reconsider my entire build. Was going to have the yeti pop out the back, but this puts the platform higher than I would prefer. I have the 65. I am going to seriously consider the side door option. If you can provide anymore on how your cooler slide set-up is, that would be awesome :)

[@MyEcoJournal]

Jenneil Parks Thanks, it was pretty difficult, but we got it as low as possible. The door is a sort of V shape, so the wider your cooler the higher the cooler will have to placed to make it fit. It did save height room though which was the goal

[@JenneilParks]

​@@MyEcoJournal What length slides did you use? Also, do you remember the brand name and style? I am not sure if I would need the lock-in/lock-out slides if I install the same way you did or if heavy duty slides would work just as well. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks :)

[@MyEcoJournal]

Jenneil Parks Maybe 28” slides, not heavy duty

[@jpshipwash6240]

Hi. A really nice set up. Very functional. Video also well done: good editing with the drone shots, music a good compliment to your narration without being distracting.

[@paigelorraine]

Little velcro on black out shade = genius

[@ricardomorales9901]

Badass set up brotha!

[@joshhuntsman7427]

Nice setup 👌

[@asta9386]

This is the best jeep setup very thought out, neat and simple set. I love it ❤️

[@MyEcoJournal]

So kind, thank you!

[@charliewatson9581]

Happy 500 subs! I’m #498. But close enough. I just bought an 03 Mitsubishi montero, and THIS is exactly that I want to do to it. Thanks and keep up the great content

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you!!

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

Nice kitchen

[@cmcullen]

Very nice buildout. I’m amazed you got that yeti 45 under the deck! Really sweet rig. Enjoy it and be safe.

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you! That yeti was definitely the hardest part of the build!

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve actually been wanting to do this to my 2012 Jeep JK. I never have anyone in my Jeep anyway so I will take the back seats out and maybe the front passenger seat for more legroom.

[@MyEcoJournal]

Happy building!

[@luzrucci5534]

Great mods. I have the same Jeep and those ideas are awesome and doable. Tha cabinets look easy to do. Thanks for the video and safe travels!

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you! Yes the cabinet just needs to be anchored to the main frame and then u can get creative on how to split up the cabinet space

[@juliaparks06]

Great video ! I just subscribed ☺ I'm wanting to get a jeep and do the same but I might get the roof tent ⛺ 😅 thank you for the video .

[@jkpanda7]

Great build dude! 👊🏻 thank you for the cooler idea 👍🏻

[@Tiger74147]

Good shit! I am so torn between a 4door and a 2door, the former purely because of the ability to sleep inside! Can't really do it in a 2door, maybe even with 1 person.

[@Tiger74147]

@@Leewilly440 I actually ended up going with the 2-door and am very happy with my decision. It'll depend on what you're using it for, of course. There actually is a way to put a sleeper setup inside, but more importantly I wanted to do lightweight offroading, the back seats are crazy comfy these days and high convertible or removable in seconds. The short wheel base is VITAL for maneuverability on the trail or in urban places. If I had a family or needed to tow heavier things it would be an issue, but as is I much prefer the versatility and agility.

[@blankfocus1521]

Nice build. I figured out I wanted to turn my Jeep into a camper AFTER buying the 2 door wrangler. I love being able to get it into places a bigger vehicle won't fit, but I've slept in it a few times (which meant I didn't get any sleep).

[@MyEcoJournal]

Yes the four door gives just enough room for me but I have seen people do it in the two door! Very tight though

[@blankfocus1521]

@@MyEcoJournal The best 2 door setups I've seen are where the passenger seat is removed to make a bed. If I keep adding to the 2 door I'm gonna get a nice rooftop rack and clamshell pop up roof tent. That way I can at least sleep in that without taking up any more space than the vehicle footprint.

[@ajajames8694]

great job.

[@jcblackmon]

Great build...well done! What a grea time in life for you to have and use your Jeep this way. Regarding the beach...air down!!

[@happycamper1687]

Nice work on your mods. I liked what you had to say about envisioning its creation like being on the international space station! You are exactly right! I think that if you refined it and worked on the materials that you could commercialize the sleep platform and cabinets. What if they were made of fiberglass?

Thanks bro! Good luck , it’s worth all the work!

[@H.pylori]

Nice practical build. You are very resourceful.

[@randalltom9750]

I like your build. I like things simple and discreet. Your build is all a guy really needs. I’ve owned five Jeeps... a ‘67 & ‘72 CJ5... a ‘91 2dr Sport, a 2006 2dr TJ, and now my 2010 2dr JK (all of them manual transmissions). The trendy Overlanders, are a ‘bolt on ‘arms race’ of the latest & greatest... They ignore simplicity, and most likely overcomplicate and overload a Jeep to it’s saggy axles. Top heavy on the trails, and expensive, doesn’t work for me... Keep in mind, I’m glad they’re happy, to each his/her own, right. It’s just not me. I haven’t had a snorkle, nor would I submerge my jeep over the hood... in my mind, turning around is the smarter option. My Jeeps are mostly stock. Except for a good locker (I like ARB), and offroad tires. No lifts really needed with a 2dr Wrangler. I prefer a hardtop, but had both. A wool blanket, HiLift/recovery kit, 5# fire extinguisher, spade, bow saw, cam-lock chains, bungies, gloves, snatch, chain, clevis, recovery rope, and common sense are my tools off road. Keep it simple, have fun, get out more, and keep good tires, and your trails will be happy. Thanks for the video.

[@MyEcoJournal]

Thank you! I was going for practical and it’s worked great so far. All you really need is somewhere to sleep and you’re set!

[@sscbkr48]

Compared to a 2 dr wrangler, this is friggin moving van. Like the Zen master said to his minimalist 4x4 pupil, when you learn how to turn a 2 dr into a 4 dr, you will have succeeded. Hint: learn the secret of flattening the seat. 🤔😁

[@RedFaceeee]

I’ll be doing something similar to my JL. You got a new sub!
