  • I’ve been on a mission to make our car camping experience more comfortable for when we’re caught in a heavy rain or stuck stealth camping in a Walmart parking lot. We’re not quite ready for full on van life yet so for now I’m making the Honda CRV (a relatively compact SUV) or weekend warrior vehicle. The templates below should work for all 4th Generation Honda CRVs.
    Tablet Mount: amzn.to/3N0LKlZ
    Lights: amzn.to/3NZgeGq
    Tiny Screws: amzn.to/3Qu6JRh
    Shelf Templates
    Curved Cuts (Recommended): bit.ly/3tK7Cv7
    Straight Cuts: bit.ly/3y1Jsim
    My Tools:
    Oscillating Tool: amzn.to/3NWxSuE
    Circular Saw: amzn.to/3NT365y
    Drill: amzn.to/3OciGJw
    Router: amzn.to/3zCfe6D
    Jigsaw: amzn.to/3MUTOoh
    Clamps: amzn.to/3xMgRMT
    Speed Square: amzn.to/3NQIuLv
    Pocket Hole Jig: amzn.to/3MPnUJO
    Pocket Hole Clamp: amzn.to/3aSUcGH
    Pocket Hole Screws: amzn.to/3mLYW3K
    Camera Gear:
    Camera: amzn.to/3xPyBrL
    Lens: amzn.to/3zCgner
    Tripod: amzn.to/3xnQL2t
    Light: amzn.to/3zCFL3K
    Lav Mic: amzn.to/3xPpWFR

A storage container/shelf. It stores my electric skateboard, hot logic plug in hot cooker, collapsible cooler. Instead of a roof cargo box.

    Ask your wife if I can come over. No way I can build this. I will pay you. I have a Honda CRV, too. I did make a video where I use the cargo cover and I turned it into a shelf, and it actually works very well, but I like yours more. BTW, I rewatched your video earlier where you make the fan for the sunroof. I've decided to give it a try. I purchased the fan through your link. So that was me. All I can do is try. After I rewatched it, I checked to see if you had any new videos up and was so happy to see this one. You really need to do more! I tried to make a sliding table and it was a disaster.

    Hi Matt, new subscriber here. I own a 2018 Honda CR-V and have been looking for ideas such as this for my camping setup. How much of a modification is needed on your design to accommodate the dimensions of a 5th gen CR-v?
    Love your camping platform 2.0 also! I'm thinking of building a single bed version but with a full width drawer setup with heavy duty drawer slides for a slide out stove/kitchen.....

    • @MattTheDesigner
      @MattTheDesigner  Рік тому

      Hello there. Not sure about the 2018 dimensions but I’d guess they’re not far off.
      I’ve considered adding some drawer slides but haven’t gotten to that yet. I thinks it’s a great idea though!

    • @MattTheDesigner

    You Rock!!!!! Awesome shelf, I’m blown away!!! Ingenious design, so perfect!! Your window storage is equally impressive as well!! I also created a window covering with a second purpose, mine is made of 1/2” plywood and fills the third row side window of a Grand Caravan. It supports a 12 volt 19” tv/dvd player, mounted on a swinging wall mount. The same way you used the plastic tabs to hold it in place, I used a custom trimmed 24” framing square to hold all the weight in place.

    When you attach the arms to the shelf top, how did you line up the arms to the top? And it looks like you had it sitting on another 1/2" piece of wood, is that just to give it a lip for aesthetics? I'm trying to replicate this myself

    • @MattTheDesigner
      @MattTheDesigner  Рік тому +1

      I set the platform on a 1/2” piece of plywood to center the faceplate on the platform and to get the arms to have the same lip depth.
      Then to align the arms forward and back you match the back curve of the arm with where the back curve of the platform starts. Hope that makes sense.
      The lip hides the LED lights so it’s a nice soft glow from the inside. It also keeps things from sliding off the shelf.

One guy with your quality skills just moved into a retreat somewhere and I keep thinking to myself: "Is it easier to die and be born again with this kind of skills or hope for a new husband to come along?" Congrats!
