Use your SUV as a Camper, with much storage and a Sleeping platform. Cheap and easy to make.
Amazing, I love the fact you didn't have to remove your seats at all, same time feel like your losing space if you did remove them, overall its amazing, I would probably add a single solar 100w and fan / Space heater to complete it all off for those cold and hot days and nights. Overall for such a small vehicle you made it all work very well.

I’ve watched a ton of camper conversion videos and decided (finally ha ha) to search Ford Escape ones…Okay…Mind blown 🤯 15 seconds into your video I found out something that I didn’t know and nobody else apparently knew either bc nobody told me…The bottom part of the seat flips forward and creates a flat surface…WHAAAAT?!? I’ve had my 2010 Ford Escape for almost 7 years! I was just getting ready to build my platform and now I’m (happily) rethinking how I want to do it. So glad you showed that! Your build is awesome. I’m about to watch the other 2 you have about it. Thank you!!!
Great video! I just got a new Escape Hybrid and I'm starting to collect ideas to build out a non permanent camper box. Thanks for the ideas!
I agree with your sleeping arrangements. I lived in a friend's SUV for 5 months the summer of 2014. we would go to state parks and stealth sleep. in morning before park opened we would park way away from everyone else and cook on a 2burner propane camp stove. this was done till we could afford to go to a private campground, and stay for a whole month.
great job. I may try to replicate this as I just got an Escape as its too costly to travel in my diesel short bus right now, Trying to minimize and downsize. Thanks for the video
Thanks! Finally...just not enough videos of old dudes moving heavy items, making coffee and doing dishes. Thanks so much.
Dude 😶
Thank you for the inspiration! I made my build simmilar on yours and I'm very happy with it.
Wow! Thank you! This is awesome. I have been looking and looking for a good way to organize my jeep. I've tried the tubs and found it extremely annoying digging through them all the time. This is THE BEST idea I have seen. I'm not a carpenter, but I'm thinking I will keep a lookout for a coffee table, side tables etc with drawers that I can use. Maybe just saw the legs off or whatever and cover with the plywood.... I can handle a handsaw and a hammer! LOL! Anyway, I'm very impressed. Good job.
Thank you.
Hi LENA H.Check out my new video for some details.

I have my mini van built out, now I have a Jeep Cherokee Lorado, I think something like this would work perfect for my house mate so he could travel with me, and we could be in seperate cars. Love your set up.
Completely copied yours Dino in my 2011! Took a 2800 mile trip up and down the west coast for the maiden voyage. Got the harbor freight solar set up and a Alpicool refrigerator. Wish I could put a picture up. Thanks for sharing.
Eric carlson You welcome I’m very proud for you you can send me photos .dinosolympios@gmail.com
Great 👍
I have been watching SUV conversion for two weeks and your design is the best, may I have your plan design sent to me at xyz5099@yahoo.com? Thanks
Send me a picture when you finish it.dinosolympios@gmail.com
so steve.Thanks
this make much more sense than hauling a whole 2 bedroom apartment with your truck..
Thanks for watching.
y woo unless you have kids
If you have kids you get roof tent.
DINOS THE OLYMPIOS yeah that's a good idea have the kids falling off the ladder! Dinos the dipstick!
edward charles Dino’s didn’t say that the kids would be the ones in the tent... smh now who is the dipstick? 🤦♀️
I got a Ford Explorer & had the exact same idea Thanks for showing me that it works ! I'm going on a road trip ☺️
You welcome Beth Valentine. Have a nice road trip🚙
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas for a great camping build.
I have an 07 Escape. Your set up is a job well done. I use heavy window screen that I cut to the out side window size and use heavy magnets to secure them. Living in Fl., it certainly help with heat and keeps mosquitos out.
I use window screen and I place it on the sun roof with magnets.i feel more secure when i'm sleeping.Also i cover all my widows for the sunlight when i'm sleeping.
I use tent poles and cut to fit black out curtains. Sadly I do not have a sunroof.
Even with a thin uncomfortable mattress you are tight in there sleeping. I don't like sleeping in coffins. You should have started with the bed arrangement then build from there. The bed looks like an after thought and impractical.
We don't think alike. Thanks for watching.
Wow great job 👏
One of the best I saw
Why buying a huge camper
With the gaz getting to 2$ a liter 😮
Thankyou

Holy cow!!! I thought New Zealanders were the only ones that rocked the flipped up collar! You own it👍
THANK YOU.I appreciate.
Ingenious - I'll use your ideas in my own conversions. Love your creativity, patient pattern of work, completeness in demonstration of product, and thorough detailed planning [including the blocked-in cutting board genius]. I'm starting my first conversion, wish me luck. You obviously made this years ago but still --- Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nancy Johnson. Good luck with your project.
2014 Ford Escape. 1 female adult (5'6") and 1 cat. Will have to put the litter box on the passenger side floor. This would not be to live in (I love my house) but just in case we have to bugout.
Awesome! Been looking for ways to make my Ford Escape more adventure-ready.
How’s that going
AIR:
One thing most vids like this don't mention is the air flow issue.
In some cases vehicles with the windows sealed totally shut and vents etc also, you could suffocate from carbon monoxide.
Therefore, it is advisable to leave your window(s) open an inch or two to allow for air flow.
Other than that, your a crafty guy.
Ciao
Ill try something like this in my territory. But just doing the boot and the middle and right side. Leaving a back seat upright to sit in on laptop. Cargo thing on roof to store car stuff.
This is great, however it’s very apparent that carpentry and craftsmanship you have exceeds the lever of your average person. Man I’d pay you to make the same for my escape. I have a 2010 in mint shape with 180k miles that is love to do this to.
Hi Jarod More. Check The rest of my videos and I'm sure you can build it yourself. ua-cam.com/video/4LGwL9owT2U/v-deo.html.Thanks.
ua-cam.com/video/4LGwL9owT2U/v-deo.html
I have a different vehicle, but I will likely borrow your ideas. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!!
Excellent job on the boxes. Everything looks well thought out.
Thankyou.
Love the counter tops that you made yourself
Thanks.
I'm glad that I stumbled upon your video. That's some nice, well thought out work there! Got the cooking, cleanup, and storage workflow organized... awesome use of space with good design, and cabinet grade materials.
I hope to do something like this to my future home on 4 wheels (Honda Pilot) by the end of 2018.
I have SO MUCH to do prior to the voyage.
Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you.

Wow this is amazing I've slept in other SUVs but never thought about my escape. something similar will go on my list to do with mine thanks for the great video and amazing work
Thank you for watching. Check my other videos maybe it will help you build your escape.
Very nice. The only worry about the stove is grease splatter. The surrounding area tends to get dirty.
Excellent inspiration for my upcoming 4-week car camping road trip. Thanks for sharing!
I like the set up. The kitchenette is obviously a priority for you, and the rest of the platform gives you ample storage space. BUT you have tons of wasted space vertically. There is space between the red top if the stove and the underside of the pullout box. The pullout box has a top (probably just to make your box square while assembling it) then that is covered with an additional top. The pantry drawer has almost nothing standing up above the bottom of cutout, with lots of room inside the drawer to lay those 1 or 2 items down. The Independent kitchen surface is extra thick for what you are using it for and it is not level with the other surface anyway. You can do better with another version! I am basing this solely off what I can see. So unless you have a tall lobster pot or a folding canopy that takes up the entirety of the box's height, you can adjust everything and probably save 10% of the structures weight. A drop of 1.5-2" is gonna be noticeable getting in and out of sleeping compartment!
I will be using this idea for treeplanting this year in BC! Thank you so much for this concept. What a great and simple system.
You welcome.BC where?
+DINOS THE OLYMPIOS OK You got my attention with the kitchen situation.
Very sharp!
I am glad you like it
and you are an excellent carpenter
THANKYOU.
The second song is so annoying that I love it. Nice set up by the way.
I think this is the most efficient conversion ....
Great setup, I’m not very handy but I think I could get the materials and have someone build something very similar, you’ve inspired me thank you for sharing your work sir
You welcome.Thank you for watching.
spectacular. I really liked that job. Thanks for sharing the video..
Thank you, Cuba Monier.
Very nice I have 06 Honda Element I wan to camp in that looks like what I've been looking for . i might give that build a try thanks for the video.
Check this out. ua-cam.com/video/4LGwL9owT2U/v-deo.html
Wow that's awesome.. makes me want to try that with mine LOL
Nice all the comforts of home and more
It is home
Thankyou!!!
Bye thanks. for the Velcro tip..I will use that
Now, this is what I would love to do with my Ford Escape!!!!
Thank you for watching.
Cooker hangs out further than the tailgate. Bit awkward cooking in the rain! Lots of swapping things over from one to the other, move this to allow that and again all done from outside the vehicle. Pray it isn't pouring down! Then you need a good dense hedge - for when you need a shit! 🙄 no toilet.
Wow, very impressive. Great use of space :)

THANKS FOR WATCHING.IF YOU BUILD YOURS PLEASE SEND ME A PICTURE
Nice job with that kind of space
Thank you.
dude pulls up like a fkn boss
Take out the back seats that you have folded down and that'll give you more space for things.
I have 2010 Escape..thanks for sharing
Awesome setup ..Thank you for sharing.
Great build! Very practical. Also video well done, great filming.
Thank you xblahblahblahblah.
This is a really awesome build!!
Thank you.
Very good! Very good indeed!
Thank you.
Fantastic job!
I love your build. Wish I could figure out how to put those rails in for pull out. I have a Honda Fit Sport and am redoing it until I go for my first season as a nomad starting in November 2019. I love your campstove. What model is it, please. I have just measure a tv table to see if it will fit in my rear for Flintstones Kitchen. You have done wonders. Boy I love it. Right now I have removed my front seat and will sleep head under glove box and double decker the floor space....wish me luck. I am in NM.

I'm glad you like it.Thanks.
Nice work👍👍
Hi sir! I know this video was 4 years ago but I am hoping you could share the measurements of this. I am trying to build one for my car as well. More powers to you! Thank you!
You don't need measurements. Make the size of the boxes that will fit on your vehicle Check this out for more information. ua-cam.com/video/4LGwL9owT2U/v-deo.html
Simplu si util. Superb
I have a 06 mazda tribute which is the same as the escape I plan on doing something like this very soon thank you
I Hope my video will help you
Fantastic build. Great carpentry work also.
Thank you! bONZJAMESBONZ.

What is the source for Ventilation when you sleep inside A tightly packed SUV?? What about HVAC system during peak winter?
I Keep my windows always a little open
Great video, showing a nice set up.
Thanks for watching.

love it but should more space for bedroom
It depends,you can make the storage and the kitchen lower if you want, and you can have more space on your bedroom.Thanks for watching!!You can have large bedroom,small storage.
1 El cheapo folding table you can get at Walmart would replace this and save all the space in your SUV including the rear seat space .
Good luck finding one rated for two people's weight...

Clever! But I'd need my husband to build it and it's because of his death that I'm now moving into my RV.
I am sorry to hear that.I'm sure that you will be ok when you move to your RV.Many people living in SUV like mine.I wish to you the best.Thanks.
Thank you for sharing!! 👍🇬🇧
