Have a go at converting my car/van into a camper but also keeping it as a usable car

Glad I watched this! I've just bought one of these (my last Kangoo was a van model), and was going to unbolt the seats to remove them - I had no idea they just clipped out!
@holgre34702 жыл бұрын
Me too! Couldn't undo the bolts. Just need to get a bed frame sorted.
@Nick23Wood6 жыл бұрын
Because the seats fold flat and are quite low - could the bed not fit over the top of the seats - or at least the nearside seat, Then you could leave them in. A rear door awning would be useful too.

Nice build for a small vehicle. I might need to look into doing something like that as I get older.

Nice one. Have same car with a similar set up. Plenty of room for 2 people to kip in it. What I did for curtains was to run curtain wire from front to back either side and got a set of lorry curtains. Easy enough to make your own. I also clip a curtain from the shelf at the front. Atb. Ian.

Good idea Mike was funny when you started doing it one handed lol. The ideas there I have seen some great ideas via KZbin as was looking at doing something similar to my little van. Liking it so far. Remember sometimes the most simple idea can be the best, no need to overthink it. Take care cheers Karl

Thanks for sharing video Mike, never knew you could remove rear seats like that, I had to unbolt mine, thanks for that tip, Looking fwd to the kitchen build. (sub to channel.) I have the 4x4 kangoo version with the spare wheel in the boot, so no room for a fixed bed box, but thinking of a fixed kitchen unit in the back window area, ready to steal your design lol. See you at Edale m8. atb. Dave

@AndyWragg6 жыл бұрын
Great stuff pal. You might have to be careful modifying that seat mounting as they are supposed to be fixed and set at a certain torque. Mot failure if there's any movement I think.

That's alot of work theres much easier designs for these aswell as doblos etc just fold the seats down pull both front seats forward and the bed goes over the seats by folding down seating and kitchen at the back easy 😁

But then with a side awning you cant use the sliding side door as entrance ,,, van set ups are very personal and every set up isn't best for everyone ,, thanks for watching

I like the doblo because they have good square sides but 4 in a doblo might be a push,,, I now have a primastar with a double rock n roll bed and I still have a full awning when there is 4 of us out ,, but if you can make it work for you I'd love to see a vid on it as I imagine loads would ,,, look forward to see or hear any updates,,, please join "the rat pack outdoors and camping" on face book if you have any photos to share
