my modular Honda CRV car camper setup | how to build as an amateur

I’ve been sleeping in my Honda CRV on road trips for the past few years, but my setup has historically been quite uncomfortable. To make future travels more enjoyable, I decided to build two units to create a comfortable bed for me (and a friend). The units are modular to allow for ultimate flexibility in how I’m able to use my CRV.
Hopefully this video provides helpful insight or ideas to apply to your own build! I’ve yet to test it out on an overnighter, but I’m sure that will be shared in videos to come.
Enjoy!! 🚗🛌🌱🛠️🙌🏻

I like the IDEA of car camping... the reality... not so much. I've watched far too many van life videos of people getting 'the knock.' My feeling is that as this trend has grown in popularity over the years (Covid origins?) local towns have clamped down on their overnight parking ordinances. The prevalence of 'stealth camping' videos is kind of depressing. The idea that someone with a gun is going to wake you in your sleep if you're found out. I hope some positive soul can provide valid counterpoints to my negative observations. Have a blessed day.

I definitely get where you’re coming from! All of the car camping I’ve done so far has been at designated drive-in campsites (some via reservation, some via first come first serve). It’s nice to know I’m allowed to be where I am ☺️ I imagine it is much more challenging if you’re living out of your vehicle and you have to find a place to stay night after night
