I am considering doing this from june-september. I have a '17 honda civic hatchback, I can remove the rear bench seat so the back seat folds flat and fit a 75" x 30" x 6" latex mattress and have a very comfortable sleeping area; but that's probably about all I can fit; I also have tennis...
I'm getting close but am looking for ideas for this. My Sienna has built in sunshades that is already a nice screen material so I am going to try to utilize these...
I did a test with some cardboard, but instead of cardboard I would make it out of reflectix which would be cut to fit snug in the...
Building a bed platform in my Sienna...
First had to ensure that my guitar will fit under it...
Guitar fits... six legs supporting the frame, each one a different length to make it all level...
Platform complete...
Next up, cutting this slab of latex to fit... (expensive, but it is sooo...
Thinking of getting this mattress, cutting it down a bit narrower, and putting it on a wooden platform...
6-Inch Memory Foam
It's relatively cheap... Anyone use one?
I'm putting down a rug pad and rug on the floor of my minivan which already has a factory carpet on it.
Should I put down a sheet of plastic first, then the pad and rug, or not even bother? I was thinking at the least it could at least help with spills...
A bit of a floor dilemma going on... considering 2 options...
Toyota Sienna, 2nd row seats leave behind tracks that stick up about 2 inches (removing them isn't an option right now)... I was going to build a floor over them; raised 3.25" at the front and down to 3/4" in the rear. (2x3 across...
I would like to install tight fitting screens to the inside of the rear windows of my Toyota Sienna. I want them inside rather than outside for better stealth.
I think it's going to be challenging though, I can't seem to find a really good solution. Maybe velcro has potential for attaching...
I will be sleeping in my Sienna for a few nights in freezing weather as I make my way south. My plan is to crack the windows a little bit and use a good sleeping bag with a down comforter on top. And hope for the best; will this work ok, or will I be completely miserable?
Need to sleep in my Sienna and it will probably be too cold to open the windows much.
Wondering if something like this would control moisture/condensation from forming...
Eva-Dry-E-333
Anyone have any experience with one, or other solutions?
I am putting together a bed platform in a toyota sienna. I was going to use plastic storage bins with plywood on top, but because the floor is so uneven/obstructed I don't think that is going to work. I may end up building it with wood. Or I was thinking of maybe getting a cot like this - It...
I'm thinking of getting a Promaster (high roof most likely), but am worried about stealth, my fear being it has none and really stands out... what do you think?
I am pondering ideas for a homemade camper shell for a Tacoma. At first I was thinking it's probably not worth it, but then I came across a couple of examples that made me think otherwise. At it's base level it could be just a simple box. Obviously weight needs to be kept at a minimum, but with...
So the short roof one, I can almost stand up in. I'm just under 5' 8" and it's maybe a 1/2" to short to stand in, but I can basically stand and walk around. Of course that's without a floor or insulation in there. Too bad it wasn't just a couple of inches higher. This was the short wheelbase one...
Vans with high roofs that allow one to stand up seem great as they probably feel a lot bigger than shorter roof vans...
But I am wondering, how much are you really going to be standing up in a van? I am guessing that the majority of time would be spent sitting or lying down. I would think food...
I am thinking about buying a brand new minivan and converting it... But now I am worried about the off-gassing of all the chemicals, and then sleeping in it. Any thoughts? I don't really want to buy used; I take really good care of my stuff and usually keep my vehicles for 10+ years so that is...
If mounting solar panels on a minivan roof, is there a way to run the wires from the panels into the van without drilling a hole in the roof?
Maybe in through one of the doors, or hatch somehow?
I like the dark gray color a lot more and that is the one I want... however, I am worried it will be a lot hotter thna the silver one... or will the difference be negligible?
Looking to convert a minivan to living space. However with the seats removed, the floor is carpeted, but very uneven. Any creative solutions for a sub-floor to smooth everything out? I'm thinking maybe just a sheet of plywood cut to fit, and with a hole for the heat/ac vent. Headroom is so tight...
