This detailed car camping setup tour is the THIRD unique floorplan for my 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan no build camper conversion, and it's the simplest and most budget friendly yet! I'm a parttime vanlifer currently, but I like to make sure I'm always equipped for stealth parking, off grid living, boondocking, or traditional campsites!
For no extra money at all (using things i already had), and only a few minutes to spare, this new micro camper proves to be my easiest, most affordable, fastest conversion so far!! I actually have a separate living and office space that is divided from my bedroom, and I really liked the feel of that!
If you have been on the fence with trying car camping for yourself, or worried it might require too much time and money to get started (only to discover it might not even be for you!) or if you're just anxious to get started and don't want to wait for a fancy setup with tons of gadgets.... this could be perfect for you too!
I've been looking for a solution for months that would allow me to go on car camping trips on the weekends btwn a busy schedule of commuting passengers. Now that my
health isn't the greatest at the moment, it was important for me to have a way to still enjoy my trips without as much physical activity for now. This is it!!!
