Wow, you're the only person I've seen who's done the same thing as I have, have a bathroom stall in the second row 😃. The only thing I might recommend is having some kind of heavy duty protection for the seating just in case of a mishap. I use a seat protector meant for wet dogs, with a towel over top of it to absorb moisture if necessary.

sink bottom as a cutting board is not a good idea, the sink is most likely pretty dirty, and if you use it as a cutting board it may contaminate your food. while you are out camping, staying healthy is most important, don't get food poisoned due to a dirty sink

Just when I thought there was nothing else I could think of there's something I never seen right there I actually have a desk for behind my seat that folds down but it's nothing like the integrated system you have there!!

Does your sleeping arrangement allow for being totally flat or are you at slight angle is there a hump where the seats fold? I have 2017 Tuc. and this is an issue.
@lakikaia
23 күн бұрын
Yes, there is an angle. It is slightly noticeable, even with memory foam adjusted to accommodate for it. The only suggestion I have would be to reinforce the back “trunk” area to allow for more weight capacity, and then build a low platform, such as the one I featured in my platform build video. I ended up removing my platform, because I had to bend when inside of the suv. I decided to deal with the angle of the non-platform setup, rather than the bending with a platform. Feel free to share any ideas you come up with in future iterations of your setup. I’d love an alternative that works better.

Same, Lori!✨ I love a nice relaxed atmosphere! Add some nice chill music, good food, hot tea, candles, and a blanket, & I’m over the moon! As it pertains to cooking, I prefer to use my electric items (skillet, hotpot, camping crockpot, mini rice cooker, tea kettle, etc.) over the butane stove when cooking inside of the camper. I prefer using the butane stove with a wind cover (I think that’s what it’s called, lol) when cooking outside of the van. I most often use the Jackery 500, because of its compact size, weight, and capacity, but have recently swapped it out for a VTOMAN 1500, as I need to run more power with the induction stovetop I recently purchased. Hope this helps! Safe travels to you!✨

Thanks for your comment. I was simply showing the features of my personal vehicle that others have inquired about prior to filming. It’s easier to show it in the video, rather than responding to the same comments continuously. As you’ve mentioned, similar results can be achieved with a little ingenuity. I purchased this SUV after my previous vehicle was totaled. I too have had old cars in my past, and drove them until they literally wouldn’t drive anymore. My old Mitsubishi had a block of wood in the window to hold it up, paint was chipping, but I literally didn’t care. If I had the desire to car camp back then, trust me, I would have posted a video on how to do a no-build in any of those older vehicles. Whether old or new, if you want to make something happen, you’ll do it. Hoping my video can inspire others to do their own version of my simple no-build.

Does it hurt your back at all though that the seat doesn't fold down completely flat?

Because of the memory foam mattress topper, I barely feel it. I do notice it slightly, but not enough to interfere with my sleep.

Hi Laki, love your setup and great video! I'm considering buying a Tucson to go roadtripping with my fiancé and dog. Could you tell me what the total length of the trunk is when you fold the back seats? We're both +6ft so I'm kinda struggling to find the perfect car for our size! That would be so much appreciated 🙏🙇♂

Thanks, Nate!✨ I measured approximately 74 inches from the rear of the trunk to the middle console. After filming this video, I realized there is a weight limit capacity posted on the trunk frame. My model of Tuscon shows a max load of 130lbs. Hope this helps! All the best to you & your spouse! Happy travels!

Thanks so much!💛 The bags I use are the Reliance brand Double Doodie bags. I originally purchased them from Amazon, but since Amazon is currently not offering them, I purchase them from REI. I purchased the white tote from Target. Target still carries them in stores for a relatively low price (around $5 locally).

How long does your Yeti cooler keep food cold? How often do you have to replace the ice?
@lakikaia
Жыл бұрын
Hi Kathleen! I typically use the ice packs that come inside of the Hello Fresh meal prep kits, as I can keep them frozen until using them with the Yeti cooler. These packs hold for about two days before needing to be replaced. The ice packs and the insulation bag (again from the hello fresh meal prep kits) inside of the Yeti keeps food consistently cold.Most of the food I carry can be stored at room temp though. I keep the Yeti on hand for when I want cool beverages, or to initially cure sweet potatoes from my garden.

Do you roll the windows down while you sleep, and if so how do you keep bugs out??
@lakikaia
Жыл бұрын
I made bug window screens for cracking the windows open, but when it came time to use them at night I freaked out thinking about the lizards or snakes that could make their way in (my window slants to an angle). Also, it left me feeling a bit vulnerable to be honest. So, I no longer crack the windows when sleeping. As you can imagine, it gets pretty stuffy inside, so I’m exploring alternatives to getting some fresh air inside when sleeping. My SUV has a Panoramic roof; otherwise, I’d purchase a screen, and open the roof a bit. I’ve been camping out of my van though. I rarely drive the SUV. It’s better on gas, & certain creature comforts, so I’ll take it out every now and again!

Thanks for the tour! I've been perusing all of these on KZitem trying to figure out the design I want to use in my Ford Edge. I saw a couple of things I haven't seen before! I am curious though. Since you mentioned you have a Jackery, why don't you have a 12 volt refrigerator/freezer rather than a cooler that you have to put ice in?
@lakikaia
Жыл бұрын
Great question! I originally wanted an option that did not require any electricity. Although I had the Jackery 500, I wanted to conserve as much battery life as possible for other electronics. I’ve since upgraded my solar power generator, & thus added a small affordable fridge.

I acquired a Euhomy 21 quart 12-volt fridge freezer on Prime Day. Have been testing it out on long drives: so far so good, although I suspect when I start to use the car for camping, I might regret not getting a larger one. Although I will not need a lot, this cridge is pretty small.
