    I took a tip from Wiltshire Man and bought a Polish army bed roll from the military store. Works great with a UL 80 on top. Can also be used in the tent for valley camping. When travelling I would slide that bed to the near side because in the event of a rear end it’s coming through the front seat.

    You've definitely got a spot on car for it and with that seat to just chill out and do some cooking inside too . If I didn't have so much to take in the car I'd defo love a bed setup myself. Got the roof tent which is brilliant but on those bad weather days be great to just get in the car instead. Look forward to you testing it out.

    Holes, could have cut staggered slots inch wide or so. Amazon has mattress sized stiffness foam pads just check you measurements and get one close and trim dowmn. Good job, similar in back of my pickup with shell camper top. Good job.

    Looking foward to seeing the car camping vids.
    I used to have a VW caddy but sold it during COVID.
    I regret doing that, camping in a vehicle gives you a diffrent kind of buzz.
    Love the vids keep it up ! 👍❤

    Hi from Ireland. Great channel. I'm sure you wouldn't have had any issue with mould/damp between the plywood and matrass. We'v had our campervan seven years now with matrass's laying on plywood bases and wev never had any issue. We use it winter and summer.

    Instead of getting your bed mattress in 2 parts (which might slip around when sleeping) you could get a foldable one made, so you can just fold it in half when you want to use the table for food! Great video

    Pretty good, but you know if you cut a sausage-shaped hole a little way in from the middle (Opposite side to the hinges obviously), you could get your hand in the hinged door that`s over your power packs. You know what I mean, just like you`d have on each side of a wine box. You can cut out a sausage-shaped template on a piece of firm card, then just draw around it. You`ll already have a ventilation hole inside the shape to get your jig-saw blade in it, then just slowly cut around it, and you`ll be able to lift that lid much easier mate. 👍

No offence but I just can't do Volvo's - however at least you never have to change the indicator bulbs on a Volvo as once they are in the middle lane doing 56MPH they never move !!😁

      One other thought is it worth putting a rubber trim on the bottom to protect your motor from scratching the trim (depends how much you fidget at night 😂). Also if the seat when your power banks are is slightly higher - it'll avoid stressing the frame.
