A Designers 2 Person Micro Camper Tour

[@nolongerqualified4013]

Another GREAT video Sir......👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yes, please do a vid on the shower/water pipe.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Thank you!

[@GaiaCarney]

Ditto on the shower water pipe tutorial 🙏🏾 ty @MattTheDesigner

[@mrld3005]

Amazing the solution to the farts is just genius

[@MattTheDesigner]

Should have called it the toot chute.

[@SmoochieMcgoo]

I wish you would make more stuff, and more videos about said stuff. One of my favorite channels.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Thanks, more coming soon! (By soon I mean as soon as I can which isn’t always very soon.)

[@lindsayder]

Love that it doesn't require permanent mods to the vehicle and thay you link to the how tos

[@bruceco.8524]

I've built a few cool things myself. I like your build, I think it is neat. I hope you are having fun using it too. I find that 99.7% of the places I want to go are perfectly accessible by almost any vehicle. :) Keep it up man, its all about the fun.

[@jamesadams8450]

Awesome video! I used your bed platform as a reference and made my first bed platform for my 08 xterra. The wife, myself and our two dogs had a pleasant sleep last night! I’m looking forward to making the entertainment “bridge” next 💪

[@MattTheDesigner]

@@jamesadams8450 awesome! I need to setup a discord or sub Reddit to see how people are modding this stuff.

[@zolopane117]

that toilet paper > water tank transition 🧑‍🍳💋 You integrated it into the script and everything. Really well done

[@MattTheDesigner]

@@zolopane117 haha. Thank you. Full disclosure I stole that from myself a few years ago. It’s in my longer roof rack video.

[@datguy2730]

CO2 Levels - Another thing your window vent covers do is help manage the CO2 levels in your car. If you can keep your CO2 levels low in your vehicle with the intake of fresh air, the better nights sleep you can get. I don't see a lot of vanlifers touch on the topic of CO2 levels but I am glad you created this DIY window vent/fan cover to help bring in fresh air! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@MattTheDesigner]

That’s a great point. The first night we ever slept in the car it was two adults and a dog. We could hardly breathe and may have been actually suffocating. 😬

[@jeremybowerman6482]

I would definitely love to learn how to make your water tank. I love the setup and am working on the same kinda jam.

[@donwyates]

I like it all, a lot! Particularly the little sliding window in the window cover. 😊

[@MattTheDesigner]

It’s simple and effective. I like it too. ☺️

[@TheHoneyBadgerDUDE]

very smart having the hot air go out the top, it's cool that your designs are very practical

[@wistfuldreamer6716]

You are so cool! Love your mind! Thanks for sharing your innovative designs!

[@MattTheDesigner]

Appreciate that! Thanks for checking it out.

[@TONSOFVANARCHY]

Best videos ever, more please. I use more greys in my windows to avoid attracting the sun and making it too hot. People are used to seeing window covers now…not a big deal anymore.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Maybe I’ll do a version 3.

[@TONSOFVANARCHY]

@ well, anything! Everything you do is so interesting! Why cant you live next door to me? Lol 🇨🇦👩🏼👍🏼

[@indianfyre]

Nice! Ive used your CRV bed last year and it was great, gonna steal some tricks from this too ;)

[@MattTheDesigner]

Steal it all!

[@MrCdn613]

Shelf is not underrated, it’s a freakin’ work of art

[@MattTheDesigner]

The shelf and I thank you.

[@realMDizzy]

I want that window fan!!!!

[@MattTheDesigner]

@@realMDizzy check out the build video. It can all be yours!!! Haha

[@lmontoyad]

Cool, informative, funny. Awesome video!!!

[@CMPSNPY]

you are very informative. I like watching your videos. Thank you for making plans available free. I've been looking for a plan to fit my Jeep compass. Now I can modify your plan to fit my vehicle.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Good luck on the build!

[@user-th9nm1ow2p]

Love the water tank I would appreciate a video on how to make it.

[@celo2043]

It's a happy day when you post a video! Excited to the next one!

[@MattTheDesigner]

More to come!

[@DempseyBoss]

no way, i was just watching your car camping vids. this is amazing.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Welcome to the channel!

[@serenityjewel]

Great build. Thanks for showing it.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Glad you like it

[@testsubject8687]

great build and like that you're here to inspire

[@MattTheDesigner]

More to come!

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

Do a water tank build, bigger & better with a small hose using a lifesaver straw filter for drinking and cooking and also be used while inside. 🙂👍🏾

[@MattTheDesigner]

Using it inside is an interesting challenge. Let me think on that. Thanks for watching!

[@alihsas]

Thank you from KSA.

[@titan_d00msh0p]

awesome video , do more videos on the shower

[@MattTheDesigner]

Alright. I’ll give it a shot!

[@mishmish2261]

Great video! You have some great ideas!

[@MattTheDesigner]

Glad you like them!

[@sweet_iris]

Oh I love the restored lantern

[@MattTheDesigner]

Check out the videos! The little one was a short and the bigger one is long form. They were fun to make.

[@moam2799]

Very impressive.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Glad you liked it!

[@Rochaelcias]

Ótimo vídeo!

[@w.j.hammer5902]

There are stock cabin vents on most vehicles so as long as you can bring in enough air to overcome the one way flaps on those stock vents then an exhaust fan might not be totally necessary. With that said my main reason for venting a vehicle is to remove moisture from breathing so it might be smart to direct that air out by way of the most direct path possible rather than some convoluted path where the warm moist air might make contact with somethign that could allow it to condense and make things wet. Of course all of this is dependent on the climate and or temp where you are camping.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Yea I was thinking all that hot air probably collects in the sunroof cavity anyways. May as well pump it out.

[@byjev7881]

Interested in a upgraded version of your water tank!

[@nubiasilva2449]

Excelente ❤❤❤❤thank You

[@MattTheDesigner]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@YNCX]

Great tips

[@manie54321]

🌷Thank You🌻 Good job 👍🏽

[@loranejeanveau6635]

Would I be able to do this in my 2017 Chevy trax? Thank you for your video 🥰 I’m 74 and just organizing my trax

[@MattTheDesigner]

I don’t see why not. Give it a go!

[@radmir.l]

Спасибо, я сделаю также с люком :)

[@drjudy0]

Fun stuff!

[@MattTheDesigner]

Thank you Doctor!

[@montypareek6284]

make more videos my G..... waited for months ......love the effort though...

[@JacobKatzYT]

based book choices

[@mitchellwnorowski6747]

The big box stores sell very inexpensive plastic strip draw slides.

[@MattTheDesigner]

Huh. How have I never heard of this haha. Thank you!

[@ArmandoCarvalho-b8u]

Use oil filled Nylon for slides

[@MattTheDesigner]

Huh. Didn’t even know that existed. Thanks for the tip.

[@mohgujai]

Where can I get that smoke machine?

[@MattTheDesigner]

Honestly it’s not that great. It leaks all over and if you let the battery die you can’t charge it because it can only charge while turned on. It is really cool though and maybe newer versions are better. The company is called Vosentech.

[@byrondelgado6565]

I have a second gen pilot and will surely be stealing a few ideas. Wish I had a 3d printer

[@jss_510]

YAY YOURE BACK

[@harrypottah8889]

Too bad I have a Honda crv 2008 and the seats don’t fold down 🥲

[@MattTheDesigner]

Time to get a hacksaw! JK. I bet you could unbolt them if you don’t need the backseats.

[@MattTheDesigner]

I’ll have to see if I can add something to the conversation. Looks like there’s a lot of these out there.

[@TerryManitoba]

U no what I did - I bought a vehicle that is big nuf so I don't have to signal to the world that I'm a camper/overlander - where U bolt and attach sh*t to the top back and sides of UR rig because you bought something that is too small for it's intended purpose. (like virtually ALL Overland builds are currently doing) I've been sporting this look for 8 years (90k miles) while flying under the radar with great success... Clean is better.

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

U got a video to show us, would love to see your build

[@MattTheDesigner]

The car was purchased 10 years ago without the intention of camping in it. I've been looking around at upgrades but cars were way cheaper back then so I'm working with what I got. Back up Terry.

[@jamesadams8450]

@@MattTheDesigner❤

[@TerryManitoba]

@@MattTheDesigner got cha' I built mine to be capable enuf & be able to go far enuf to avoid at least 97.5% of the car camping crowd (da CCC). Didn't start that way but thru time I was able to upgrade it with great success. Without looking "The Part" BTW when will you be strapping on the Max Trax & shovel & high lift jack - That video I'd like to see-:) BTW your 5 gallons of H20 might look COOL but that much weight up high is a seriously BAD Design as it does f up the handling of the vehicle (unless you beef up the suspension - which I'm guessing you have not) This comment is more of an PSA to people who might consider copying this very very dangerous idea🤡

[@TerryManitoba]

@@ThePlanet_L.I. Nah - Don't really have a channel. I built it after spending 3 months travelling in it before doing anything permanent. That especially & good YT channels & blogs will get you there. As I commented above Don't I mean Don't put that stupid AF water vessel on your rooftop. I self built the rig 8 years ago. It is built well but not beautiful to the point that I have no problem tearing something apart to tweak or improve or optimize it further by actually spending time in it. (8 years - 90k miles - slept in it for 28 month cumulative) I am currently in Natchez La enjoying the M River. OMW to slow drive the 444 mile Natchez Trace Parkway.
