who finds the cutting mistake in the video?😅🙈 - Наука та технологія
Total genial
great
You are the ONLY person to think of a comfortable substrate for the bed in any car/suv conversion video. No solid plywood. Great job.
Well, no. Had also my full bed with rost inside my Landy 20 years ago… ;-)
All recent VW California vans have slat sprung beds in the roof.
There is literally thousands of people that live in these in the U.S.
no such thing
perfect substrate
Just think about it, there’s probably at least a dozen people out there who built a car camper to your exact layout after seeing this video. It’s like having your own brand of something that people own, except it’s a brand of idea. Idk if that made sense
I love that comment Noah, very insightful, made me think.
I hope to be one to make the bed build. I’m curious why the slats and not one board?
Cause slats are more comfortable
I later heard someone say that on a flat surface the mattress or pads are subject to molding so the slats allow for air flow and prevent molding.
wrr
I've been car camping (weekend trips & holidays) in my Skoda Octavia since August 2020. Lots of room for me and my German Shepherd. Thanks for the video 👍
Idk why but im so addicted with this type of content
I did the same in a Citroen Xsara Picasso. Minus all the rear seats + an airbed. 6 months car camping in France. Same basic idea. What an adventure!
i going to convert my shoes to camper-shoes so i can sleep in them while outside.
😂😂😂well...good luck
😅😅😅 good idea!
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha that made my day man.
Ahah!
Think the only thing I'd change, is either cutting the mattress in half so it can be stored in 'drive' mode without too much difficulty, or I'd use an air bed. Only problem with air beds is they aren't exactly stealth proof 😂😅 otherwise. Solid design! Minimalistic but effective and efficient. 😊
they always leak in the night 😂
You can use outdoor furniture loungers. They fold.
Love this. My only concern is that I have a lightweight scooter and that is an extra item to add to the car
Awesome job!👌
Great conversion ideas for solo micro campers.
Very Well Done! Thank you for sharing! I'm Learning along the way
Thank you. Take a look at my latest video to see a few more details😉
Viajamos por muito tempo em um Agile e montávamos todo o momento para dormir a cama. Durante o dia cozinhávamos na parte traseira. E assim fizemos todo o Chile, Paraguai, Argentina e Uruguai, além do Brasil todinho. Hoje temos um camper. É assim, quando se quer de verdade, se dá um jeito. Felizes estradas para nós, para vocês 🙏

Love the layout 👍🏻
Concise, well presented and very cool. Much better than most drawn out conversions here...
Great idea, love to try that on our 2018 Honda CRV.
Sieht gut aus, man merkt auch gleich das die Ideen bzw. Inspirationen vom Simon stammen. :-)
Vor allem Simons Idee mit der Standheizung fand ich so gut dass ich sie selber umsetzen musste. Beim Rest hab ich mir noch ein bisschen Inspiration von anderen Ausbauten geholt:)
I’m loving it!!!👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wowwww nice!!!!!🤩🤩 Very creative !!!
This is the best design so far I have seen well done I will use it to convert my SUV. Thanks 👍
I converted my SUV following your design it turns out really great and am so happy to have found your video thank you for helping great design I must say again.
That's great👍🏻
I would be very happy if I could get some pictures of your Conversion.

And the car Is untouched for future use as a normal car again!
Top gear style. Love it
Parabéns pelo projeto!!! Ficou muito bom!!! Abraços Édy Leal e Rê Leal
Very sleek. Neat. Well constructed. Good job!
Brilliant :-)
Das Beste aus dem begrenzten Platz rausgeholt. Schöne Sache, das.
Love this !
This is awesome! I'm about to buy the same car for the same purposes, your video will serve me as a big inspiration!
Great👍🏻
dont do it... better buy a BMW E39 530 touring it is bigger, faster, cheaper, better quality, prettier, safer, economically way better than Octavia...

money pit lol
Skoda made brilliant cars
VW rules the world 😎
Buy a Superb estate. Much bigger.
Очень хорошо! Октавия универсальный автомобиль!!! Всего Вам наилучшего!!!
Echte a cooles Auto, da geht au was mit ;-)
I'm in my Prius to save money and write a book. I went through 5 air mattresses and now ready to do it right. I didn't know air mattresses produce condensation in winter and gets sleeping bag wet. This is amazing, thank you.
How do they produce condensation?
They don’t…. Your Warm and moist breath gets cooled Down when it meets the windows/Roof and then the moisture falls Down on to your sleeping bag, because cold air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air.
@@bjarkenielsen8515 thanks for the info. I assume a leaking air mattress (as most of them are) will allow more of this moist breath into the atmosphere of the car and make it wetter than it otherwise would have been
@@chunkyfecalbreakfast it may do so. I didn’t think of that, because I always use a pump in order to avoid warm moist air from my lungs and thereby fungi inside my mattress. I guess that supports your argument. 🙂
@@chunkyfecalbreakfast But then again, - it only takes 5 BIG breaths to inflate my air mattres. That equates 2 minuttes of breathing. During a 8 hours sleep you'll breathe about (8hours x 60 minutes x 10 normal breaths) = 4.800 breaths.
So the breaths you put into you mattres is close to nothing, compared to your overall breathing during a night's sleep.
I still think my first argument holds up. (Its not the air in the mattress that makes the difference, - instead it is your overall nightly breathing that is the culprit)
About 25 years ago I converted a mk1 fiesta into a micro camper, the bed run the full length of the passenger side (passenger seat was removed) with a mini cooker, sink and storage built into the side behind my drivers seat, it was surprisingly comfortable and I had many a fun week wild camping in lay-bys the length and breadth of the UK for literally the cost of petrol.
Amazing what you can do with a small space, great job bro!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
love this music, nice build
amazing set up.
Estupendo , yo que estoy mirando opciones para mi auto ; Esta me encantó !!!!!!
Muy completo y genial. Thank you for sharing!
Just ... Amazing !

I like the quick grab towels right beside the bed :)
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job!👌
Nice work! done a great job there
Realy nice i like it very much ❤️👍😎 Good Work 👍
Muito bom brother!! 👍👍
Wow what a great build
Brilliant use of space .
Круто получилось 👍
sehr schön, hab für meinen Volvo 850 ähnliche mobile Einbauten und fahre während des Sommers an den Wochenrnden damit herum. Reinsitzen, losfahren, die letzte Tor ging an die Nordsee. Würde noch Verdunklungen machen, meine sind aus Isoliermatte/Frost ( nach aussen,) Stoff (innen), befestigt mit Klettband, funktioniert super! Viel Spaß noch.
Great idea for holidays on your own.
Amazing.
It's really useful
It's so easy and quick
Very tidy. I'd have the bed hinged at the back too for some easy underbed storage, seeing as space is at a premium. Also, next time use a Superb, they're mahoosive.
😂😂😂😂
Respeeeeekt! 👍👍👍 Sehr geile Idee!
So cool !!!
Very good idea. Bravo
Super filmik 🎉
Отлично, молодец!
Hey thanks for the cool video
Joder
Me he gustado mucho
Tomo nota por si un día me animó hacer lo mismo
Excellent 👌🏼😃
Merci mec👍
Wow I liked it so much!
Hello Escola
Gotta love men...fecking brilliant!
Wow, bro it’s cool!!!
verycool 👍
Wow. Thats looks like it would be fun for 10 minutes
I want to convert a van , non-permanently of course, but I just don't know how to build cabinets and a ll that! I love how you did this tho!!
Думал он мебель собирается перевозить и типа вместимость демонстрирует))) а в середине ролика понял что микро жилье делает🤣👍
Bel lavoro!!
fabulous!!!
Zajímavé a neotřelé. Také spím v autě a mám lůžkovou vestavbu ale skládací do kufru. Až do vás něco ze zadu napálí....😳
Na druhou stranu nemusí shánět rakev...
cost - effect 11/10 :) very nice
Excellent, thanks
awesome job. Can you show a side view of cabinets?
You can see the side view in my latest video😉
I love it ❤.
love it
show de bola 👏
Top!
Great one! Nice jog
Simpel, rapi dan multifungsi😁👍
Good job 👏
That 2x4 between the clothes hooks is some mad engineering. Lol
Yeah, so mad that i throw it away😅
Gut!
I thought about doing this and bought the wood then thought about it for a few days and though..you know this is going to be heavy especially after I put my stuff in it…so I took the wood back and did something totally different…I’m glad I did because I am still heavy but if I had wood it would be even heavier. I do like your build though!
Why should the Wright be a Problem? You can put Hundreds of kilos in the octavia legally.
@@kempfi1982 the heavier the vehicle, the lower gas mileage.
Well done!!
🤠🎖️Very nice👍🎖️
Must be nice to have all that space. Almost like a mini van compared to my campervan Sedan lol
Nice work
Rewelacja ‼️
Попа у вас симпатичная🤣😂🥰
Wow, geniál
Skoda -simply clever!
Waitet too long for this comment😅👍🏻
@@Technikcheck2016 yeah, I figured it out, hence the comment 🤣
Amazing. I have an suv and I have to done this.
How did you make the neat cushion? Superb micro conversion.
Instant sub when I saw the octy!! I'm in the middle of also transforming my octy as of right now! Hope you have more content of it!
I just bought some material for retransforming it. Subscribing was the right decision but it will take a while til the next video comes out.
Nice
Sieht richtig gut aus 🙂
Nice conversion. I m thinking about S-max conversion.
Cool 😎
An option in a car, to transform it into a caravan, is to remove the right front seat (and store it in a storage room or carry it on the roof rack), and in the long space on the right side put a double folding berth, even better using mattresses inflatables.
I use a hand made special foamy that rolls nicely with freezer on rear driver side giving me solar panel on the roof with the kayak and then have a bike on the back trailer hitch. Bed doubles as office kitchen etc. So I roll the bed out of the way to make space to cook inside during rainy times with the sun roof open and peice of plastic and solar panel keep the water out while I sleep with bug nets is quite comfortable for nomadic life few months of the year. You could go further and get a Chinese diesel heater and live year round if I wanted. Especially with house and gas prices 😆 🤣
genial!
my first "Camper" was a Renault Megane GT. with nothing in it. i had a plywood plate with a Matress on it and several rolling boxes for my clothes, etc.
I called it my Snailhouse 1.0.
Snailhouse 2.0 is my Dacia Dokker with a Bed and a folding Table.
and Snailhouse 3.0 is my QEK Junior caravan from GDR.
Super cool! I would do this in my Citroen but the damn back seats won't go all the way down, probably better off buying a Caddy or something
I had to remove the lower part of the rear seats for the nearly flat surface. Maybe thats possible for your citroen too? Nevertheless the caddy or berlingo are great camper cars.
