Best DIY small cars to campers conversion videos – Microcamper: Dec 2020
It always amazes me how creative folks who like car camping are – so many ways one can turn a standard car into a camper and sleep in it! Here are some of the best conversions in my opinion, that fit our simple car camping criteria.
Turn your Van/Bus into a Camper featuring VW Touran
By Mechanical Rhino – who is quite handy with all kinds of random DIY challenges
What I like especially:
- simple enough – take the seats out, bring the rack in, put a mattress on it – and you’re done
- the rack requires a good bit of DIY skills, but it’s still pretty minimalistic
- clever tricks like the boot door safety lock to keep it ajar 🙂
- removable camper conversion – it keeps the car as it is – no hardcore irreversible conversion (where your car is only a camper, not a 5 seater anymore)
Ford Galaxy DIY Campervan Conversion
by Will’s Whereabouts – who really puts the #microcamper to the test!
What I like especially:
- simple enough – use of standard wooden crates for storage under a simple enough rack (not taking into account the additional wiring & battery, that’s more advanced, but not a requirement)
- the racks doubles up as a sofa too!
- clever tricks like the down to earth but multi-functional window curtains from linen mesh
