    I've done this with my car too (VW Touran). I use it to stay in when I visit London. I don't have cooking equipment as I park on residential streets, so it would look a bit odd. Then for £30 a month I've got 24hr access to a chain of gyms all over the country that I can use for showers/toilet. The feeling of freedom is amazing

    I've had a micro camper, vw caddy, for a while. As much as I love it and yes it gives you freedom unlike anything...its not the most relaxing thing. Having limited space, unable to stand, not always having security, the means to wash up properly or go toilet comfortably...as fun as it can be, sometimes I envy those comforts. This looks great though, props to you sir!

  • @AliWade1971

    Thanks, Turnip & Ted. We had been thinking of replacing a car with a compact van - big enough for a toilet, fridge, basic kitchen, bed and room for a bike. I would take that step today, but hubby always needs longer to research and plan. Watching this video has made hubby more ready to find a van. It will mostly be my ‘daily driver’ and ‘support’ vehicle for when I go out for walks/bike rides (I need a toilet now 😀). I also plan to get away for tours of historic houses/castles etc, and go to “Van life” events. Having a van will give me a lot of freedom (once we no longer have the dairy farm, and have relocated). Ps. If you are travelling anywhere near SW Wales, let me know. Would be great to meet up

    Hi, just found your channel, I also have a Toyota aygo that I camp in. I had a bed made, but mine goes down the middle, I didn't want to take my seat out as I need them. I am only a little un, 5/2 . I can not drive with the bed down as the front seats have to be pushed as far forward as possible, but I consider that as a safty thing, no one can nick the car while I am in it! I had a platform made, put a baby's cot mattress on it and it quite comfortably. I can get a little box in there that acts as a table for my one ring gas hob, so I can cook and get a cup of coffee. I also have a little loo, if I am taken short. Everything I need. People think I'm nuts. I do like the curtains I will have to look for them. Happy camping. One more new sub to your channel. X

    Cool car! It's like a japanese transformer capsule hotel on wheels. I've seen many super compact camper vehicles but this must be the smallest one so far, but it's still big enough for one person (and a doggy). I don't have a car or a license or even any extra money but if i had all three i would probably build something similar. I used to build crazy stuff when i was younger like a "cryo chamber" capsule bed, and i often design odd looking RVs and boats and tiny houses for fun (among many other things)

    This is a cracking idea and might get more usage out of my Suzuki Swift. However, you do videos of death of the high street, and everything bordered up. Isn't this part of the problem though, people doing alternative thing's causing hotel's to get bordered up. In a few years time you could be filming disused Travelodge's that have been bordered up, thanks to people going out transforming car's into camper's. Great vid though.

      No, like a Wandering Turnip :D
      PS: Stella would be too expensive for homeless...

      Up our way we call Stella "wife beater". So, yeah, not an upmarket brew.

    You could use a 4m X 3m basha for when you're cooking or sitting out and it rains. A few strong magnets will hold it on your open hatch and a couple of poles in the ground. You can also adjust the slope or configuration for privacy, etc. HTH
