You have no idea how excited I was to see that you’ve made another car camping video!
Thanks Josh! It won't be the last.
@@MattTheDesigner glad to hear it! i will definitely be looking forward to them!!
I second this!!!
You put a lot of work into this video man. I liked your humorous take on the process - and the meta-take. This world is so absurd...It's clear you understand that and value the real stuff, like spending time with family. - Cheers
Thank you Dylan! Usually about halfway through an edit I start questioning why I’m spending all this time on these haha.
@@MattTheDesigner No problem. Looking forward to the next one.
@@MattTheDesigner they add some levity and that helps us scared to try it try it :))
You should patent this shelf! I can’t make it but definitely would buy one.
I bet you could Sandy :) Mind over matter! I think that applies here haha.
at this point im thinking of doing things like that myself instead of buing me a camper van or the sorts and just keep using my current vehicle, since i got almost the same layout! And projects like that do make so much more fun ^^. Thanks and hope you keep doing more :)
Thanks Michel. I might do a whole van some day but this is working out nicely and definitely is fun.
Love The Goonies! Nice shelf design too
You are on fire with these. I have drawn so much inspiration from your builds for our Subaru Outback car camping setup.
Just found your video's yesterday and I love all of them!
BRILLIANT! Your ability to think of these solutions inspires me to do the same!
Dude you are too cool and have great humor in ur vids lol. Your family is blessed to have you.
It's great to see your car camping videos. And your production quality is on point!
🙏🏼
Another very cool design, thanks so much for sharing. Love watching your channel for inspiration for our Honda Pilot Camper.
Thanks Chris And Emilie!
This is Awesome. Thank you for sharing. I want to adopt this design to use in my 2003 CRV.
Matt - Thanks for all these great videos. These are great and have given me some ideas for my own CRV camping setup. I also appreciated the subtle Seneca reference in your other video.
Good eye!
Well done, Sir. Thank you for showing the design process. It’s a work of art.
Thanks Rae!
This is fantastic! I’m slowly upgrading the “camper” setup in my Fit and I’m thinking I might just have to add something similar. Awesome job!
Top video, top narration and story! I just had to subscribe!!! 🙂
Keep them coming pls! 🙂
Brilliant. And Entertaining. Excellent job. Thank you so much.
So many great ideas. And very entertaining. You’re a filmmaker as well.
Bro, I do happen to have a 2014 CRV. Those plans are so detailed! Thanks a million. Definitely inspired 🤙🏼
Awesome! You should document it. I’d love to see it.
Piece of art. I like your style of creating.
My favorite UA-cam channel of all time. Great videos. Please keep them coming.
What an honor. 🙏🏼
Omagosh I just love your designs!
I enjoy your videos and presentations
Saw your ad in here I am so subscribing. Well done design.
Loved your video! I'm doing my own Suzuki Jimny (JB74) car camping setup and it inspired me to do some DYI myself hahaha
I already crafted my own solution to mount my iPad to the car ceiling using some aluminum bars and motorcycle brackets, but loved the little table setup you created here, I will definitely do something similar to my Jimny.
It's still my favorite part of our build.
This is such a cool channel! I’m gonna try to make the windows covers first, then I’ll do this. Keep it up! ❤
Thank U LuLu! I’m glad you’re trying it.
Love your tablet mount using the dowel, I'm guna use that tip thanks
You're unbelievably awesome!
I just moved into my 2000 CRV, and I SO hope I can figure out how to make it not totally suck to live in. Awesome video, and hopefully I can do something like that.
this is amazing, thanks
Oh that was a great idea! I am copying that :D
Also, great video quality, love it!
Well done, and great video!
Thank Ms. MHM!
😮😮😮 This is brilliant! You have a wonderfully inventive brain and excellent skills to create your designs! And you have good taste in movies!
This is brilliant! I have a saw, have a router, and a next door neighbor with more shop than they ever use. I want to make this for my SUV. Thank you!
Let me know how it goes!
good stuff. thank you
I used two adjustable shower rods and a under bed storage container. It fit perfectly behind the back seat and still room to recline and high enough for leg room. I velcro it together and Wala. A storage container/shelf. It stores my electric skateboard, hot logic plug in hot cooker, collapsible cooler. Instead of a roof cargo box.
Sound like a great setup.
Love your channel! Subscribed with bell on actually!
man I appreciate your thoughts and admire your hands-on skills. I wish I had a CRV that I can copy your platform....
Thanks Adam! I’m sure with a few minor measurement changes this would fit any SUV you can get your hands on.
Your humor is outrageous It's very funny thanks for your knowledge and a good laugh Keep up the good work😂😂😂😄😆😁😁
👍👍👍 and wonderful humor, also!
Awesome creation 💯💥
I have a 2012 CRv. thank you for video
I love your videos!
This was brilliant!
Thank you for the fun drama, it lessens the frustration. I don't have a CRV, but a Tucson with one entire oddity of a curve around the inside of the car and down the trunk sides. 🙄 I like the idea of a crossbar. (You do know you made the front of a sled, right? 🤣) My only question is how did you hook up the device? Nice work, love it!
I’ll test it’s sledding ability the next time it snows. 😉
By device do you mean the movie? It’s just an iPad with things downloaded to it.
I'm a 40+ year carpenter. Excellent job and the hook was genuis
Thanks!!
great video as always
great job!
Haha! I never knew what a track saw was. All my life I've always used the DYI track saw hack!
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.
You can do it! I don't film all my mistakes. Trust me there are a lot! Things almost never go well the first time you try a DIY project.
Wonderful!!
Mate, you're a genuis ❤
I love your works very much You have a teacher's touch
From ksa 🇸🇦 ❤️
Cool! Thanks for stopping by.
You were watching two of my favorite movies in the video. You have good taste. 😂
Superb dude.
I am impressed, again
My god, a masterpiece!
Please buy a newer Outback so you can start building ideas for it! Great idea. I’m handy but terrible with woodwork. It’s just one thing I never got into. Great video. Splendid idea. I’ll bet there is a market for this in different models! Outback, 4Runner, RAV4…
Brilliant!!!
OMG your an effin genius 😂 like the dry humour josh 👏✊️☮️ by the way the Goonies best film ever 😊
Same!! Was going to say exactly that! 👏🏼
Nice work
damn, didn’t think about that at all now i really want it
I think it’s my favorite addition so far.
2012 Prius V and I removed all but front seat. Would love to chop it and make it a pop-up.
My cellphone holder is simple. Wire hangers. The phone has a cover I glued the pop socket to and the pop socket fits as if it's made for it. Don't like the angle bend a little poof just the way you need it. I have wire hanger phone holders anyplace I think I need one.
Yo!!!… is that house of leaves???!!! Nice!!!
Brilliant.
No way dude 😂 absolutely love it tho and that third arm is amazing 😳😂😂😂😂
It’s my super power
your videos are great
Your editing is legit
🙏🏼
Digging your humor
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.....
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!
wel done it is an inspiring idea probably i will built one exactly the same thank for sharing .,by the way do you have any idea how to build a propane Heather with a heat exchanger outside the car with a flexible insulated pipe with computer fan to bring heat from outside to inside .using propane heather inside the car will bring a lot of water vapor inside the car .
So far a heated blanket is the only decent cold camping idea I've had. I'm sure I'll get to solving that problem at some point.
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.
Thanks Scott!
I had a 2011 Rav4 and wanted to do something like this. Your plans could work for the 3rd generation rav4 too, with some slight modifications. I don't need them now...I bought a honda odyssey. :)
Genius!
Jaja! So fun! Genius!
Now on to your next video! 🤭
Wishing I had the same vehicle as you cus I’ve no idea how I’d manage making it on my own 😂
You can make it!!
I think I’m more impressed by your video making skills than your camper hacking skills. And I’m *very* impressed by your camper hacking skills!
Haha Thank you @Sxx C!
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
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
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.
I almost want to get a 3rd gen CRV just so I can have this custom shelf. Or...maybe I can talk you into getting a 3rd gen Prius so you can build it for that too?
If you’re Prius has a cargo cover I’m sure it would just be a few small dimension adjustments. Give it a try.
Nice. Everything about this video is perfect... Except who goes camping to watch movies?
*Glamping
man that is the cats meow. i have a 2013 CRV would those dimensions work?
Yes I think they are the same generation
Can you make one for a 2017 GMC Acadia?
You should do it as your first UA-cam video!
where can you find what scale to print them on?
Print at 100%. No scaling.
lol i take all the crap out the back of my car and whatever doesnt fit on the roof gets shoved underneath while i sleep in the back with my dog. idk maybe some day i will get a roof rack or something hahah
Little by little I’m going to turn this thing into a full blown RV.
Where do you keep your cooler when you go to sleep?
Hi Jackie. I'm actually working on a project to address this. When we need to we put it in the front seat. We recently just left it out on the picnic table and a bear ripped it open. 😬So it goes in the front seat while I work on a better idea.
where does the cooler go when you sleep?
It fits in the front seat with the rest of our food. We have a roof box for most of the other stuff.
Does anyone know how this fits in a a CR-V Hybrid?? I'm so interested in making this and the 2.0 sleeping platform, just anxious as it'll be my first wood working project!
I'm not sure what the dimensions of the Hybrid are but based on photos it looks very similar to ours. Measure the width and length of your trunk cover and compare it to the shelf templates in the description.
now you can sell it!
I wish it wasfor 2010 crv
2000 IQ Plays... this content is amazing.
Haha. Idk about that but thank you anyways Mr. Gaffney!!
Like it a lot and love your sense of humor, would marry your brother if he was a talented as you,and liked camping. Of course that is if you have a brother.
Only brother in-laws and those tend to be taken as well. Sorry Darlene! haha
Can I put in a order for one.
Maybe some day J!
Isn’t that dowel for the tablet mount just screaming to be broken asap?
Hasn’t yet.
@@MattTheDesigner Oh great! Good to know.
I'd really love for you to buy a 2016 Honda Pilot and sell all your plans. ha!
Wish I could do them all
내 차에도 될거 같네요. 하지만 손이 2개뿐이라 힘들겠네요. 하하하
2 손과 두뇌에 필요한 모든 것! ᄏ
👍
I have learned throughout more than 2 decades of marriage that a man needs husbands! I moved into a community and now live with 20 people. 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!
Anyone’s guess. Thanks for watching Nelson!
