  • I wanted to share how I turned my little Kia Soul into place to camp when I went out to visit Sturgis 2020 motorcycle rally and more adventures further west in Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole Wyoming and more! Car camping was so easy with the plywood board braces for my exped single mattress, and had more than enough room for all my motorcycle gear for renting a bike and everything else. In this video, I give you a quick walkthrough on how I created my own privacy black-out shades and how I packed the Kia Soul with everything I needed. I still had a ton of room during my week-long adventure. Thanks for tuning in and make sure to subscribe for more moto-related and adventure content!

    Your platform bed is so cool! I don’t think I’ve ever thought of making one for travel 🤔 I’m surprised at how much room the Kia Soul has! Hope you enjoyed your trip! I’ve got a lot of videos to catch up on 🙌🏽

    Outstanding job! You Definitely took advantage of every nook and cranny I salute you I am currently designing my KIA Soul for a tour of the 48 states to celebrate my retirement. I like your water system that gave me many sleepless nights trying to figure out purification and all. THANK YOU! Maybe I'll see you on the road ?

    Thank you for all the tips! I own a KIA Niro and was wondering how to "camperize" it for short trips. Your layout is pretty nice!

      By the way I'm eager to visit those american natural parks, what a coincidence you visited them in these videos. Maybe when the covid relaxes... Greetings from spain, keep it up!

    Love the vids. Small tip: I believe you’re looking into the view finder and not the camera lens. The viewer will feel connected to you more if you look at the lens. It’s a common thing with a lot of UA-camrs but the best ones overcome it. I look forward to all your vids so keep ‘em comin’.

    I was wondering what to do about the windows! Looks like that might be a better option that setting up curtains... where can I get this stuff?

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  3 роки тому +7

      I stenciled each window out and made them with foam board, reflective and fabric all glued together. :) Maybe I should create a video explaining that more.

    • @antuAnoro
      @antuAnoro 3 роки тому +1

      @@whitmeza could you please explain how it keeps "glued" to the windows glass? Thanks!

    I use to own a truck with a topper and setup for sleeping. My problem is I snore like a freight train so no camping in a parking spot.

    • @whitmeza

      In the passenger seat or off to one side. It was just myself.

    Hi Whit from the Nothingness State of California. Since you are taking the Kia camping, where are the kiddos going to spill all their orange juice?

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  3 роки тому

      Ha ha. Hopefully not in the car anymore. That spill had to be months before. It was like jelly! 🤮
