Living in a Car || 5 Minute Car Camper Tour (Honda Civic)

[@roxannegalvan5927]

Well, I think you have to re organize for good reasons.

[@roxannegalvan5927]

You have everything well organized!

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks! :)

[@norm5785]

Well done, very organized, great phone setup , thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks! You stay safe too!

[@carlosc3899]

I have the same car but in sliver. Hands off to you because I didn't think I could fit a small bed in there. I'm 5'5 and super happy now that I can fit😅 thank you so much for the tour and can't wait to make mine some day 😀

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Great to hear! :)

[@ButterflyGoddessMoe]

I’m still so confused as to what is considered bear country lol. Thank you for sharing your new set up!

[@elizabethoffgrid]

I know, right?! There are many places where they are technically bears in that mountain range, but they rarely bother people, versus places where the bears are regulary going into campgrounds and neighborhoods. Also there is a different between black bears and grizzly bears

[@AlexRamirez-np9zt]

you sound like dori (Ellen DeGeneres) lol . And poor thing my mother is a type 1 and I’m a type 2 diabetic. You are inspiring.

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks!

[@tinabeane]

Well done for a vehicle!! Love your pillow. :)

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thank you!! 😊

[@rdaalways2286]

I just found your channel also. I have been wanting to do this. I have a Toyota Corolla and have only been seeing the SUV’s for camping until I saw you! Thank you for the inspiration! I am glad to know it IS doable. 👍🏻 I do have a dog and a tent that I can stay in when not in a town. It would be great if there was a group of women who did this in a car online. They have a suv one already. What type of diabetic are you? Where do you put your insulin? My daughter has a mini fridge/ freezer for cars. I am subscribed to you now and following you. Stay safe out there! ❤

Brilliant video Elizabeth! Really enjoyed everything about it :) If possible in the future, could you do a video revving up your car? So we can hear how it sounds!😅

[@elizabethoffgrid]

I'll try to remember -- its just a honda civic so not that exciting lol

[@Johnjones45689]

Amazing! That would be really good if you could do such a video. Would be brilliant to see you Rev your car up whilst it is static. Sure your car sounds really nice 😀 If you could show a pedal shot whilst you Rev your car up that would be much appreciated too! Keep up the amazing videos 😀

[@WWGWGA-bi2rv]

Fascinating!

[@Victorylap-fy4ke]

Just trying to be helpful. Your bed foam looks like craft grade that I've seen at Lowes for $25. In all my research I found if you don't buy upholstery grade that costs more... the craft will break down faster. I learned if you get a better grade you will spend less money in the long run. Same principle for most goods.

[@elizabethoffgrid]

It's a foam bed that I got off of amazon, so hopefully it is a good grade (but who knows with amazon). We shall see!

[@michelleh5727]

Just found your channel... subscribed ❤️... appreciate you sharing your journey... I too am a middle aged solo female traveler.. I'm getting ready to leave for my 3rd winter in southwest Florida.. I'm in a 2013 ford transit connect xtl cargo... I absolutely love my van.. I've changed my setup so many times though... And will probably reorganize it many times over..lol it's kinda my thing.... questions.. what are your plans for overwintering? And what does your significant other think about fulltime carlife.. again thanks for sharing :)

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks for the sub! So my base is in northern California (just because this is where I lived before). I will spend a bit of time here, and also plan to go to various desert places in southern California, Arizona, New Mexico. But I am not into crowds so I will try to avoid them to the extent possible. I do have chains and am not afraid of the snow, to the extent that it is possible in a 2wd civic :)

[@nubiasilva2449]

Eres genial, me gustaría salir a recorrer el país ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elizabethoffgrid]

gracias! ❤️

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Great job on your car at least you san sleep comfortable you would do wonders if you had a van huh?

[@elizabethoffgrid]

thanks! :)

[@WWGWGA-bi2rv]

Do you worry about your car getting broken into say if you go on a hike?

[@elizabethoffgrid]

I do think about that any time I'm away from my car. I try to hide electronics and such in my trunk. I'm mostly concerned when I travel to touristy parking areas that are thief targets

[@ExploringShow]

Where did you leave the seats?

[@elizabethoffgrid]

I put them in storage

[@divinemessenger2030]

Have you ever considered getting a storage unit for some of your things so you have more room in your car when you’re sleeping?

[@redgingerbreadpam]

If you go watch some of her other videos, you'll see she already has storage units & is working on moving stuff around & getting rid of things. Her channel is great & I've watched most of not all her videos & I'm a fairly new subscriber.

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Yep I agree, I put a lot in my storage unit and use it as a closet

[@MicroShelterGuy]

Elizabeth? You need a bigger setup, your a working woman still, a slightly larger vehicle would be better suited for a car camper conversion but I did watch a few of your videos and I know you own that car so that's why you went with that. Anyways, I wish you well pretty lady! ❤

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks! Yep my goal is to get something bigger but I need to save up $ for that :)

[@MicroShelterGuy]

I think you should be friend a carpenter or handyman and take everything out the back and do really nice conversion for your future rig If your anywhere near TN when that happens I’d happily help ya for zero cents and zero dollars

[@divinemessenger2030]

I’m curious…what do you do when you get your car serviced? Where do you sleep if it needs to be in the shop for a few days?

[@elizabethoffgrid]

When I've got my car serviced it has been same-day, so I just go work in the lobby and wait for it to be ready. If I had a major problem and my car was not running, I'd stay in a motel or hotel

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Youre doing a great job Elizabeth! I'm a fairly new subscriber & ive binge watched I 4:55 think all of your videos, even though I don't always comment but I try. I struggle with autoimmune illnesses including diabetes on 2 different insulins, migraines & many other health issues...i totally understand when youre having a rough day. Always hoping for a migraine free day for you. One thing that definitely triggers mine is overly strong sweet perfume.

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Thanks for watching!! Blessing to you with all of your health challenges!

[@redgingerbreadpam]

@@elizabethoffgrid thanks & same for you

[@roxannegalvan5927]

Nice set up

[@elizabethoffgrid]

Glad you think so!
