- Another video about our Volvo V70 mini camper, in this episode we show in the « real life » while we spend a weekend in the countryside, how to transform your daily driver Volvo V70 D5 2004 in a very comfortable small camper van.
We are used to use the Volvo for weekend on nights in van life, it's really practical, comfy, quiet and safe inside.
We can park anywhere we feel nice, in front of the beach, in the wineyards, in a lost mountain... No charges, no parkings limits, absolutely freedom and discretion. No one can guess that our Volvo V70 is a micro camper while you visit a monument, a city or else.
From outside the car it's impossible to guess that there's a real 1,30m width by 1,85m length real bed, with real bed sheets, blanket and nice pillows ! We sleep like at home, in silence, quietness and warm !
The process to install the curtains and bed is absolutely simple and fast, it's take 10 minutes only. In this video we show you how we set and what we use for a simple « van life » night in our daily driver Volvo V70 ! At first we did the blind curtains set for us, and posted on Instagram and Volvo V70's FaceBook groups. The interest and curiosity was huge and even people stopped us on the road to see what it is and how it is inside our micro car camper van conversion.
So we decided to sell as some few people asked us, in Sweden, in Netherland, in Great Britain, Scotland, in USA... But nothing in France :-(
Even a Kangoo owner also asked us if we can made for him, so we did the templates on Kangoo 2 series (2 doors and tailgate versions). He never came back to us, but the templates are still available. So if you need one, just ask!
If you're interested in buying a set to make a micro camper van conversion of your Volvo, feel free to contact us here on TH-cam or by email at : psv1600@me.com
And also in Instagram: / jagxjcorner_
We have also a small shop online where you’ll find some of the items we use during our escapades !
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Slowly by slowly we upgrade our Volvo V70 camper to be more comfortable and cosy but by always thinking to keep the same simplicity
And practicality to instal and use.
Our goal is to be able to install and remove all our camper settings in about 30 minutes to use the car as its made originally.
Recipe of the asian beef bbq + sauce ;-)
- Very thin slices of beef
- Salad iceberg
1 cup (8 oz) water
5 tablespoons (67 g) packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (2 oz) low sodium soy sauce
1-2 tablespoons honey
1 large clove garlic ,minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup (2 oz) cold water
Combine the 1 cup water, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the 1/4 cup water and whisk until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan.
Heat the sauce until it thickens to your desired thickness. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more water to thin it out.
Eat Hot !!

The best video I have seen so far showing how to convert it into a camper.
Wow thanks a lot for your sweet comment. Hope this inspires you.
Great video, I love the idea of the foam for the seat backs, I use a mat to stop the lower hooks from imprinting on the seat backs when folded down, but find they go to low.... I'll be using your foam trick from now on!
Thanks ! Yes it’s exactly for the same reason we put that piece of foam 👍
Thank you very much for sharing. I have a v70 and wish to do this with my son
Bro very nice im gonna do it like you
You must to do and you’ll sleep very very well
Hi Darren, thanks for your nice comment, yes it’s another car, that one we have since 2018. The v70 from Sweden 🇸🇪 will be for rent fully equipped for camping, and we will sell fully furnished after the season in November.
My pleasure ❤. Do it it’s pure pleasure, comfort and safety
For V70s without sunroof, do you think this is feasible? I'm afraid to feel short of breath while sleeping during the night without an open sunroof to improve airflow.
Yes don’t worry ! Just open a little the front and rear windows and no worries! We slept always 2 and we’re still alive ! Just joking 🙃 but really don’t worry about that
Thanks for sharing! :) This is one of my dreams on my bucket list. I'll perform it in a Saab 9-5 sedan though :D
We almost bought a 9.5 in Sweden 🇸🇪 !
@@psv1600 Cool cars, this is my second one. The tech is similar to the 9-3, which you know so well :)
Very good! I like it! This is a different Volvo to the one you recently bought in Sweden? Right hand drive too? I look forward to more V70 adventures!
I miss Saab, it’s like a second skin to me 😅! But it’s starting difficult to keep here in France, there’s no parts and you absolutely need a good tech2 to manage ! Where are you from?
