    Hi from Scotland.
    I have a 2 door Golf.
    I have wanted to see more of Scotland and Ireland in my car.
    I don't need to be too self sufficient, but the fact that you gitted in a bed in a 2 door car is inspirational!
    Im now going to work out the best layout for mine. Thank you for a great video!

    I have the same car and currently considering converting it like this - had no idea you could independently take the seat cushion out and have the back lay flat. That's a game changer!

    This is awesome! Thank you. I have a 2010 VW golf that I am thinking of converting. I bought a van for me to travel and my dog but there’s a lot of things wrong with the van so i don’t have the money to fix it so will probably end up selling the van. I’m planning on going for 2 to 3 months with my dog and I think it’s going to be awesome

    "If you're taller, it probably wouldn't work" - DAMN! I'm 6 foot-even and just crawled into the back of my '05 Golf TDI, passenger side, front seat cranked full forward - it's like 2" too short for me. Not giving up hope yet, though. Nice portable setup, man - so efficient and flexible!

    • @xiaqpaix4

      I have a perfect solution. Most people I have watched was them sleeping with their head towards the cabin/front of the golf. I am 5’8” and even I had issues doing that in my 2012 2dr golf. But after I got home from sleeping uncomfortably. I realized something (a little to late lol) that if you sleep with your head towards the back, it will be a easier space for your legs as long as the front seats are push forward. You’ll get a few inches of feet off the seat. But it beats sleeping with your knees bent at a 90° angle

    I got a 2 Door golf pretty recently and have had the thought in the back of my head ,"Do I have Sports Camper?"
    Look like I do!!! I'm wondering how easy it is to take out that passenger seat, I think as long as I left the rear seat in like you did I'd be good if anyone needed a ride. But if the passenger seat was nixed this thing would be golden

    Thanks for sharing dude, but if you're out by yourself, why wouldn't you want to take out all the seats except the drivers? And did you consider a roof rack and box for additional storage?
    Edit: saw your roof rack, but no storage on top?

      Unfortunately I only had that setup for one summer while I was traveling. I’d say just go and try it out but don’t commit too early to the vagabond life. 😅 I’ve known several people who jumped into the vanlife only to realize they didn’t love it.
