Because of this video, I converted my 2018 Civic Hatchback into a great camper car! I can park many places and with window coverings like Alex made, no one knows I'm camping overnite! I have saved a ton of money on hotels because of Alex's suggestions! It's been great!
I’d love to see your build! I’m thinking about getting a hatchback to do the same!
I live in a Honda by myself I can’t imagine two people in it but y’all do you!
What kind of Honda? I’m trying to find someone with a hatchback. I have a 2017 Honda Civic turbo hatchback. I’m thinking a hatchback has a looot more room
Same, and seeing all the stuff in the car gave me a bit of anxiety.
My thoughts exactly!!
“In case you wanted to doubt me.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in" song from when I was your age. You popped up on my screen and I saw the Civic so I had to watch..I subscribed and thumbs up and I shared video with a friend..I'm broken-hearted because I just sold my 2017 Civic because I am moving to the filipines..it was the second best car I have enjoyed in my life..my best was a 62 Corvette convertible,327,2-4's, positive traction, polished ports,Hurst shifter, aluminum flywheel and more goodies I am sure I forgot..if people knew how good of a car the Civic is there would be none left on the lot..44mpg on the interstate!! Unbelievable!! It was overall the best and most fun to drive car I ever owned and I have had plenty of cars in my lifetime.
It makes me so happy to see you young people really learning how to enjoy your life to the max without spending a fortune..
Travelling all over the country with you and a Honda Civic at the same time is,,,
PRICELESS!!!!!
It's so much work. at least that how I always felt. Especially dealing with weather issues and not having a place to just chill. But every now and then, so cozy.
Doing what makes you happy, enjoy your youth as you are, I'm 53 I totally get it,. Safe travels.....
I’m setting up my 07 civic si for camping myself. Ripped the backseats out and heading to home depot for ideas 💡 thanks for the awesome content. I love the out doors in the near future i’ll get a truck.
Thanks for showing us your setup, Ahle! Definitely less room to work with, but it allows you to travel farther and stay in more places. Smaller space, but you prove it can still be made to work.
Can I just say, I found you when I was going through I hard and dark transition back into light and you really helped me with your sweet, genuine, adventurous and, joyous energy! Your optimism is super inspiring!! Praying for your safety and success! God bless!!!
Ps.... you've made me want to van life... or maybe skoolie if I'm not alone lol baby steps girl! I love that you rock climb btw I used to like it before my accident but now I'm kinda scared to try it again lol btw super bummed I didn't get to get a ticket to travel with you!! I know y'all will have a blast!!
To J... bro you must really love this girl. I know exactly what you do in order to fit in that honda civic up right . make sure you see a chiropractor regularly .. much love the over 6ft squad
J finds it quite worth it every night, no doubt
Happy New year!
When I was a Boy Scout, we played a game when new Scouts joined the troop. We lined up chairs in a pattern, creating an obstacle course through which the new Scouts, blindfolded, were supposed to maneuver. The Scoutmaster gave them a few moments to study the pattern before our adventure began. But as soon as the victims were blindfolded, the rest of us quietly removed the chairs. I think life is like this game. Perhaps we spend our lives avoiding obstacles we have created for ourselves and in reality exist only in our minds. We're afraid to apply for that job, take violin lessons, learn a foreign language, call an old friend, write our Congressman - whatever it is that we would really like to do but don't because of personal obstacles. Don't avoid any chairs until you run smack into one. And if you do, at least you'll have a place to sit down. ~Pierce Vincent Eckhart
I love how creative you are. Well done.
You literally dropped out of heaven, im binging it from the civic series. Keep doing great things. And thank you really!
Great to see your happy & positive post! Please keep posting!!!!
your hair looks SO soft and angelic ✨
It's the gas station hand soap she washes it with.
Top quality stuff
Happy that you found someone that shares the same lifestyle you have
Glad you have a travel bud with you finally. Like the set up!
been following you for so long and I'm so glad you're still doing what you're doing! keep it going! :)
Appreciate it yo!
@@HoboAhle since like my sophomore year of highschool lmaoo
@@slimthuggamothafucka2909 dang I hate to say it, but wer and why not/ wer r ya parents?
The bed looks comfy cozy when its setup, nice
Hey! You’re one of the first TH-camrs I follow who live in their car! Love your channel ❤️❤️
What a Great video Ahle I loved it thank you for filming it
Love your videos! They're so relaxing and therapeutic. ❤
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoy them
It’s so nice to see you doing so well! I remember watching your videos when you had that big van and I had so much faith in you to make it taking on van life. As the years have passed you pop up on my feed and you amaze me and I’m so happy for you!
You are living the dream ☺. Well done and fly like a bird. God bless 😀
Omg girl all that stuff in my car would give me anxiety while driving ...but I get it.😁🙄
Ahhhh! I lived out of my Civic for 4 months and it was great! So excited to see others who were crazy enough to do what I did haha!
The Solar Panels are a great tbing to have. I use mine all the time when i go camping
Watching his from my Honda accord that I live in! The bed by lowering the seats is a great idea! Hopefully that will make my spine feel less crunchy in the morning
This whole thing is so cool! I am definitely inspired by your Civic and would like to do a lot of what you did to my Civic. Keep up the How Too videos 👍👍
Amazing you can cram all of that in one of the smallest cars. Some smart engineering there.
Love the pool cover idea
Hahahahaha that squarespace plug-in was smooooooth
Hey Ahle can you post the link for the solar power system? Thank you.
Or like a shopping list of most of the things that you recommend and have used.
I literally cannot deal with even looking at clutter. I've car dwelled while traveling and if my car is not 100% pristine with an open feelings, my anxiety skyrockets.
Yeah good luck fitting your entire life into a small car and keeping it organized.
Just having to move everything every time you wanted to drive/sleep would do my head in. However, if they can stand it, good luck to them!
Wish I was more like you. lol. "Clutter" seems to appear around me without me doing a thing. I'm reminded of that Peanuts character where a cloud of dirt follows him around where ever he goes. : ) I hate clutter but I always seem to create it.
Foreal
Morning Glory Wow someone like me!! I’m exactly the same way.
I'm so happy you're not traveling alone anymore ❤ its much safer with 2 of you ✌
She hasn't addressed this but I think she got scared last year with the attempt to steal her gas while she was sleeping in the van. I'm not sure that she has done any solo van travel videos since then. She has gone full Marie Kondo in some and shown us a lot about her van upgrade and had other adventures with family and friends but it seems like the long treks alone in her van are no more or on hold.
Awesome Ahle you know how to make it work. 👍🏼🤙🏼
You should get some vent visors that go over the windows on your doors for better ventilation
Nice setup... Love it
I've lived in a honda accord here and there for a few months at a time, it really is like musical chairs sometimes, haha. Those are good memories that I cherish. My wife would never go for that life, but it's fine we'll have kids soon and hopefully I can instill in them a desire to go off on adventures and they can start younger, since my parents did no such thing for me.
That's my husband and I 😂🤣......I'm trying to convince him to sell our home and buy an RV and be a full-time travel family. I want our kids to learn what it is to truly experience life and live.
You’ve got a new fan & subscriber, you’ve got a kick ass channel, I stealth camped in a hotel parking lot last night in my car.
Looks cozy
Nice,smart careful planning,,im impressed
Hello Ahle, great to see you guys again 👋. Loved this video as you seem very happy and renewed with creative energy for your projects. It's also great that you have someone to travel with, which increases your safety on the road. Thanks for sharing Ahle, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏.
OMG we are thinking of getting a Jackery battery!!! So glad to see other people like it too, makes us want it more!!
Sam & Raul i just got one for my bus myself and i love it honestly
Gona yoink the window cover idea
Great video! Questions and thoughts: Does sewing the black fabric on the reflectix help it hold its shape better? I had some issues when testing just reflectix, they would not stay in the window very well. I have a 2012 Toyota corolla I hope to do the same thing, Just myself traveling so I'm planning on doing just what you did with the bed setup except using the passenger side of the trunk/ back seat so I can store all my items in the front passenger/left driver side back of the car so if need be I can quickly get into the front seat.
all my respect, you rock!
All I can say is.... WOW! 💟
You really are amazing! Great travels!
Glad you found a kindred soul to share the experiences! Go get'm tiger!
Daaaamn. That is a lot of stuff in a little bitty space. You should get a tow hitch installed and get one of those tow hitch racks and put your things on that with a lock box. It would free up most of your space.
Love your videos enjoy your amazing adventure
admire the utility, got to have some chronic for chill mode Honda For Life
This is great! Thanks!
I’m so envious of the MPGs. Thanks for coming by to meet us!! Come for a bus ride sometime!! 🚌💨
Dude!! We have to meet up again ASAP! And this time let’s caravan for a bit, we can plan it better than an hour hangout sesh haha. Hope you and Nicole are doing well 😊👌
Hobo Ahle most definitely!! We’d love to! Maybe towards spring? Or, come snowboarding this winter?
Nice, I was thinking to do the same in my future Honda Civic, Fit or CRV... Thanks for sharing this information!!
Since it is just my husband and I now, I took out the backseats of my beloved 2003 Honda CRV (2nd. gens have more head room) and used light weight and insulating 2 in. wall insulation board to custom cut a "platform" that becomes our bed if we need/want to sleep inside. I am 5'7" and my hubby is 5'9", so with the seats forward (still room to store the cooler of food at night in front) I am able to fit a full sized 3 in (we use two because of my arthritis) memory foam mattress and it just folds up against the narrowest part of the wheel well area. Memory foam is great because you can fold it without it splitting (like other, stiffer foams). As for all of our stuff, I use bins in the passenger floor space (which become part of the bed to level the back), and pack our things with an organization level which would envy and boat interior designer, ha. And...I always do a "dry run" before any trip. Totally recommend a CRV, especially because they have 8" ground clearance and real time 4WD when needed. We live in Utah and believe me, we have been on some rough roads with "Spike". Best of luck to you.
I sleep in my 2005 on trips and stuff under a week . Then I get the 4x8 Uhaul trailer for a bit also . Most campgrounds just want it covered by a tarp if in them .
Good luck to you and yours in your travels. I remember after a bit of living in a car, I learned to pack the car with the driver seat down, so I could sleep better. After an Erica Badu/Cypress Hill smokin grooves concert my car was 1 of the 13 someone busted into. Then i started disguising my belongings as laundry, with bed sheets and hefty bags--putting all electronics in the trunk. If i bought a car without a security system i'd buy dummy lights to trick thieves or leave a bible up front to slow them down. Great video and happy trails!
Enjoy your vids, crazy living for crazy people.
Cool videos, stuff happens I suppose and looks like I'm in my Honda as well so it gives a little hope to make it through stuff like this alone. Thanks
You aren't alone bro. I'm in the Honda as welll
Nice set up
I never thought it would be possible to live in a car, with two people, just blew my mind! XD love the idea, good luck!
Wow, SquareSpace is pretty cool, I. can’t wait to try it
hell yeah happy camper!
We also have a honda civic we roadtrip with, and sleep in! :) love our civic
I'm with you, Suzy! Honda Civics are so dependable and cozy - and cute! :)
hi Suzy, what year is your civic and is it a hatchback?
Yeah he came running right on through. Photo Bomb!
cool, i do it in a 99 honda cr-v and i recommend that!
That looks really comfortable. But it'll be great to get back in the van
This is amazing...off the grid
Thank you. Inspiring!
Wow awesome Life style! Take care! Greetings from México. 🙌🏼
These videos makes me feel to buy Honda
Closest thing In my car to being comfortable is a crown royal bag for my shifter.
Don’t know how you do it, but seems like you guys got it! 😁
Hey ahle . I too live in a civic, however mine is older. You've inspired me to make a video about how I do it. Thanks for the inspiration
Stunning 😍
Thanks SquareSpace
Great job, Ahle! Fascinating and informative video - great resource for "beginners"! I love what Ahle has accomplished with this Honda Civic and the "Mobile Lifestyle"!! Having lived in a car for almost 5 years myself, the only thing that makes me personally a little nervous and concerned is the lack of immediate access to the driver's seat when in "sleep mode" - - it would be very difficult to make an emergency getaway/departure if that ever became necessary!
I am thinking about converting my Honda. How often and where is it that you would need to be concerned about a quick get away? Are there certain places that you should not park for the night?
Dope civic build
I am getting ready to move into my mini-van in the next few weeks. I am so excited. Question though. I want to get something to cover the doors so i can have them open. Like the material that you used on the sunroof. Do you know what it is called. Thank you so much.
Wow, just found your channel and LOVE! I would also most def get distracted by chipmunks and such LOL... Question - I would love more info on your platform bed - Did you have to remove your back seat or is it just folded down? Do you have a vid or tutorial somewhere on how to create the actual platform structure? Thank you so much!!
Man I didn't know how you were goin to do it but you guys did a great job, you make my Explorer look small.
Love this vid
So cute!
Great video!
Great video! Would you please do a new one where you show exactly how you cut those window blinds to shape?
Would you also please list in the video description where you got the solar equipment?
Nice! I’m about to do the same thing!!
except I’m 6’4”😬😬😬😬How is the leg room in between the truck hole?? Also did you remove the back seat or is it just folded?? Sorry if it’s answered in another video!! Just stumbled across your video
Window visors would help for ventilation and when it’s raining
Beautiful.
My kia is about to be lit!
That ad transition was great lol
So when/what do you use the crash pads for now? I saw that you use the blow up pads to sleep on.
You inspired me !
"And that, that was a little chipmunk." Lol.
What fun!
I just love my Toyota prius. Bigger trunk in the back. I dont need to set it up so long. And I dont need to get out of car to set it up. I just climb from driver seat to the back. Put down the back seats and immediately it become a "Bed Mode". And Toyota Prius gas mileage is the best. 52 MPG in high way with 60 - 65 miles /hour. The only shortage of this car is house power and acceleration.
I love your channel and your energy! I find your advice very practical for those of us that are crazy enough to live the same sort of dream. One question is why are you hanging on to crash pads? My apologies I don't know what they are. I am assuming they are beds? But then you have other bed to work with that you enjoy. Sorry for the question and the ignorance on my part. I guess I didn't catch the episode where you mentioned what the crash pads were. Great advice keep up the good work!!!
Have you remove the back seats (Bottom & up parts ) for install the wood plateform?
Fun and interesting video, more about Johnathan!
Who's Jonathan?
@@Seiferboi the dude she is traveling with :)
This is really cool and inspiring me to modify my Civic the same way. Is it tough getting to places with a Honda Civic because they ride so low?
