- Connie blew me away with how well she designed and organized the inside of her Honda Element. For such a tiny car she has everything she needs to live comfortably while traveling.
I'd love to see her Class A. Especially after seeing what she's done with her Element! Great job.
I owned one for 4 years and let my brother talk me into signing it over to him. I wish I had never let it go! I regret giving it up so much. I loved it. Nothing like the feel of driving an element!
I'm an Element owner and I love the way Connie has built her space. Most of the Element builds use the side wall for shelving and it those don't leave much floor space like Connie's does. Thanks for sharing.
I like her set up too.
I found a passenger conversion van at a good price. Removed middle seats and works great for me. Agree: as a former tent camper I don’t need holding tanks!!
Yes- keeping my eyes peeled for same! Tricky finding old enough so affordable to me yet in trusty shape to hopefully not be a money pit.. back to affordable 🙃. Hope you’re max enjoying yours!
I love how she has organized everything. Such a great small space. Loved it.
This was such a good interview. Connie used her space so well. I could move right into it with joy!
Wow! She’s the first I saw to use this layout with the shelf at the back. Very nice to have that floor space inside!!
So cool!
She Did an amazing job with her element . I am seriously considering these babies. I wish they were hybrid so you could use the car for climate control but oh well. I want to find one with the ECamper so you can sleep above and stand up in your vehicle. The Element has a large car camping community and loads of accessories. The Hero swivel seats are the bomb. But watching your video I can see how you could get on the road and enjoy it immediately. Thanks for another grand video and sharing the information . Thanks Connie grand build.
She uses every bit of space efficiently. 😊thanks for sharing
Very nice set up .....love that she shared this....praying she gets that Class B that's been my dream too...I would need it fully loaded though just need a working shower & kitchen and ac ....I have sleep apnea too but can't be without ac....don't know how she does it but again love her set up
Wish I could find out where she got that really cool looking ladder ?? it seemed to go totally flat. Great interview. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice use of space! Absolutely amazing!
One of my favorite
I feel fortunate to have seen her Honda set up in person at your meetup. She has so many good ideas. I’m so glad you did this video. Her ideas could work with any vehicle. Looking forward to seeing you both down the road. Safe travels❤
Absolutely spacious and comfy looking camera lady sounds like Rosanne 😊
Owner of 2006 here. Love mine!
I would love what she’s got going on there! Room to move and storage etc
That is a very nice simple but effective build. I like that everything is removable. I was curious if I could get away with 1/2” plywood and this confirms it!
Glad it was helpful
I have a 2007 Element and I am apart of the cult lol. I got mine for $6,500 and I love it so much. It’s my little home from home. I’ve had it for almost 2 years and I still get excited when I get to go somewhere in my car.
Right on!
Elaine, hv u figure out u can make ur hatch in the back a escape rout too by instaling a device to open the hatch. U do hv stuff in front of ur hatchback door but u can still get out by moving ur stuff shoukd u need it. 😉
I have a 2007 element. I took it to help my son move. He said I brought a mini U-Haul. LOL lots of room yes take the two back seats out
Love this one. What a beautiful job. Great inspiration! Thank you ladies for all the great ideas!
You are so welcome!
Watching from Africa Uganda God bless you
Thanks for watching.
@@TravelGrandma yes you're so welcome everyday I watch your videos and shared, but you never connect and talk more I'm from Africa Uganda where are do you come from? You're so welcome again
Honda Elements are the best, my husband and I have two.
Elaine you are a very wonderful interviewer. You ask very informative questions that are very helpful for your viewers. Thank you. :-)
What a beautiful setup. Love the peg board idea
What great ideas in this Honda Element.
I agree about the no holding tanks in a van and the ability to stand up. I am shopping for a van as well. I escape to the Black Hilld as often as I can to recharge in the forest.
Very nice! I have a Honda element and thought about going this route - but - same thing - the demand was so high on the elements - I decided to keep it as my everyday car because I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Other than the double doors opening - I always love the fact that the floor wasn't carpet (in my model it isn't) and I could use the leaf blower to "vacuum" out the element- We wound up going the van route - but did a no build approach as well! Love seeing you getting out there and just enjoying the journey! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Oh my. I love that, how she made a list of where everything is. With so much in such a small space, what a great idea. Thank both of you for sharing. Happy Trails to you until we meet again.
Excellent job ❤️❤️❤️❤️happy travels to you
I really like how Connie fixed it up.
Oops, kept listening and she answered my questions.
Some really good tips and love the setup.
Such a great interview and helped me a lot because I also own an Element and I am interested in using it for camping. I have a Rightline Gear SUV tent that hooks to the back with the tailgate open and will use that as a lounge and kitchen, also nice to stand up to dress, etc. The one modification I would like, that I have seen on TH-cam, is a kit to fix the tailgate so that it opens from inside the car. I think that would make it much easier than having to climb to the front seat. I will keep you posted if I purchase the kit and have it installed. Another thing that I love about the Element is the fact that I can pop the seats out anytime I like to camp but when I return home, I can put them back in and have a four seater car again. I have seen minivans where people have to remove their seats and get rid of them, so it will never be a passenger car again. Thanks so much for the info on Setpower cooler and the measurements I will need. This was a terrific tour of your rig and I love to see what other people do with their Elements. You are correct when you say that they retain their value and are a much sought after vehicle! Enjoy your time together ladies and hope to see you on the road some day!
I was very impressed. Glad you found it helpful too
Very cool love way you set up you SUV ❤️
Very nice set up, love it.
I love how the doors and back hatch open. Connie did a wonderful job utilizing the space she has.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
Great set up!
Beautiful
Impressive!
Genius element build!
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video🥰❤️
Thank you 🤗
Element family member here
I love the Element
I would love to hear about the size of her Bluetti and how she keeps it charged for her cPap. I have a biPap that uses about 30 watts an hour. I have an ecoflo with 567.
Here’s is a 800 watts model is EB70S
@@lizzettemarquez2862it's an 800 watt inverter, but only 716 (?) watt hours, still, plenty for a CPAP that uses 30wph. Even one of the smaller Bluettis would work for that. I have one that's 300 watts, 600 watt hours.
I love my Honda Element
I was a 4x4 one so badly. So rare. Such expensive. If anyone is selling near Los Angeles, LMK!
They're AWD, not really 4x4.
Hi everyone🎉🎉🎉
That was a great tour.
Thanks Clara. I love what she did in her tiny car to turn it into such a great camper.
List … great idea
I'm in love with your honda
Impressive!! Thankyou for sharing.

I am 79 and went on the road in my minivan last summer for over 2 months, getting ready to head out for a year. Am putting all my furniture in storage, have sold a lot of my collectibles on Ebay, and had a big garage sale. May decide to do it as long as I can.
I love it.
I have a CPAP and a Jackery 1000 and can run my CPAP for two nights at home and only drain it down to 35%. However my first night car camping it ran down to 35% after just one night. It was a very cold night, I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Wish I knew what kind of CPAP she has. Mine is much larger and has a water reservoir. Maybe I need something smaller.
Check with your doctor or maybe a medical supply place can help you with one that may be more energy efficient. Good luck.
I was reading about mine. The water reservoir, higher pressure, and heated hoses all contribute to a quicker drain.
The Element is a great car but I just found out to change the starter motor you have to remove the intake manifold . NO THANKS !
WOW
what size solar generator works best for you or recommended?
I can't remember what Connie has but I like my 1000 watt. Plenty for my needs.
What size power bank is really dependent on your needs, what you will be using-a CPAP, fridge, small electronics etc. They can also be charged while driving by plugging into the 12v socket.
What size bluetti
Oh gosh I can't remember if she mentioned the size. I'll ask her and let you know.
Where is this
At a campground in SoCal
I don't think I would store my pills in the container right next to the roof it seems to me that during hot summer weather the pills would be ruined they're supposed to be kept in a cooler environment
Thanks for your insight
