Nice How is sleep for legs room ? Do you have show for sleep in please ?
Great video. Answered specifically the two questions I needed an answer too! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Bro where are you at 1:00?? Stunning
@@mattyboi8338 the long Mynd :) 🫡
Did TH-camrs get some sort of memo to wave their hands around. I see more people doing that. Stop it, it's distracting and annoying
Неплохо
Отличная машина
my vw 4 is due for some work so will be out of action. well that's where the new wheels come in. i am going to similar to this with my nissan leaf mk1. i already use this for all my local running around to save the T4 and its so cheap to run. my build will be similar to yours but the leaf being larger won't have to remove any seats plus i can use the climate control . i may not have to miss out my little overnights to the coast.
IV got one of those. I did almost 180 miles on less than £20 fuel. Also does 65mph in 2nd gear 😂
Glad I found this channel, what a top bloke you seem like, no cares in the world 😎
No sink, and more importantly (4me)....no TOILET....😮
When are we going to see you back with videos Jake.
Soon mate! Thanks for the patience! 😎🙏
Did you ever make lance jack ? lol
@@wolvoman1 No mate, I did 3 days of basic training then left. Did my bit 😎
I think I would have pulled the back seat out too.
I love watching videos from overseas and the things you guys are allowed to do. Here in Australia we aren't allowed to remove seats without having an engineers report as it's considered a change in the construction of the vehicle and may, apparently, affect the structural integrity of the vehicle. I have always had many ideas for little vehicles. Enjoy your little car camper.
This is something I have toyed with as well. It's interesting how many people transition from just living in a van to seeking out adventures. Maybe it's in our blood 🤷🏻♂️
I have the very same car . Mitsubishi Mirage. Im loving that it looks like i could pull it off! Ty all the way from Texas!
bro you have not transcended to full gram-weenie status until you cut your own knob off to save 100g. I cut mine off in 2018 cos I didn't even use it anyway waheyyyyyyy
My cousin had one of those as her first car. It was a 2006 model in black
Fantastic video. Thanks Man!
I can’t wait for this fad to end.
been a while brother. I hope all is well and you are having fun.
Now, after I’ve seen just about the basics of everything, it’s still not too late to elevate your bed frame just may be 2 inches and then you could put a sliding shelf underneath it so when you were stopped, you could use it to cook off of & set up your meal prep stuff. You could get extra creative and put some hinges on it and extend it even further. Then you wouldn’t have to carry anything loose and it would be easy to pack away.
Just pull the whole backseat out lots more possibilities lots more room
Wait, quick question, how much a month does it cost to stay?
I'm planning to buy a Xsara Picasso and covert it temporary. I saw quit some videos here, but none of them was so inspiring as yours, with your C1. Thanks a lot, Jake. I learned a lot from this.
Great job spot on its way id have a small van also
This is pretty cool. A quick, easy and affordable solution. I would recommend drilling some holes with a forstener bit into the wood underneath the matress for better air ventilation. Humidity can dry of easier and it eventually prevents mould.

What a funny @#£%&%...... look forward to watching more mate..
Looks like fun!🍺⛺❤️🔥
Fan from india...❤❤❤
Love from England! ❤️
Cool mate. Well done.
Nice , Like the GIGANTIC solar panels they are ENORMOUS 😜
POWERERRRRRR!!! ⚡️😂
Am I right in thinking safe place in a thunderstorm is actually inside a car (faraday cage)?
Great film Jake, crack on!; camp food was inspiring too. Got to try Abisko in the winter 😅
Nice work 👍

Nooo haha! But I see what you mean now! 😂

That's never Gona work too small put a tent at back of it
We had a Landriver Discovery. Wonderful vehile. Towd our classic caravans without any problem. I sold it after my huband died, sadly.
Im 15 seconds in. So... What??? Did you hit an animal and just laughed about that?😱😭
It’s a joke, we didn’t hit anything 😂
@@JakesJourneyMate I cried for 6 hours for that dog
I was just ready to watch the rest of the vid, I was too scared and upset before :P
One summer, I caught twenty mice in the airing cupboard! I live in the country surrounded by farm fields. Mice are a problem.

Just found your interesting videos, Jake. We were caravanners, two classic sixties vans. My husband rebuilt one of them. One of my sons is a vet, thirty odd years service in RAF and the Reserves.
You made the right decision. The car was far too small.. Our UK weather is wet enough for camping, without being in a steamed up tiny space. Most unhealthy.
In a car that size, keep some tea-light candles in the glove box. If other systems fail (petrol/diesel runs out &/or exhaust is blocked) just 1 or 2 - they burn for 4hrs on average - can be enough to make the difference between overnight hypothermia or not, if caught in a snowdrift, blizzard, storm, etc.
Thank god you didn't drink the coffee and say wonderful fake camera 😂 I enjoyed your video... Well done mate...
I’m not too far from there at the mo, think I’m going to do the same in my car. Thanks for sharing.
