who finds the cutting mistake in the video?😅🙈 - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Total genial
great
You are the ONLY person to think of a comfortable substrate for the bed in any car/suv conversion video. No solid plywood. Great job.
Well, no. Had also my full bed with rost inside my Landy 20 years ago… ;-)
All recent VW California vans have slat sprung beds in the roof.
There is literally thousands of people that live in these in the U.S.
no such thing
perfect substrate
i going to convert my shoes to camper-shoes so i can sleep in them while outside.
😂😂😂well...good luck
😅😅😅 good idea!
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha that made my day man.
Ahah!
Just think about it, there’s probably at least a dozen people out there who built a car camper to your exact layout after seeing this video. It’s like having your own brand of something that people own, except it’s a brand of idea. Idk if that made sense
I love that comment Noah, very insightful, made me think.
I hope to be one to make the bed build. I’m curious why the slats and not one board?
Cause slats are more comfortable
I later heard someone say that on a flat surface the mattress or pads are subject to molding so the slats allow for air flow and prevent molding.
wrr
I've been car camping (weekend trips & holidays) in my Skoda Octavia since August 2020. Lots of room for me and my German Shepherd. Thanks for the video 👍
Idk why but im so addicted with this type of content
I did the same in a Citroen Xsara Picasso. Minus all the rear seats + an airbed. 6 months car camping in France. Same basic idea. What an adventure!
Think the only thing I'd change, is either cutting the mattress in half so it can be stored in 'drive' mode without too much difficulty, or I'd use an air bed. Only problem with air beds is they aren't exactly stealth proof 😂😅 otherwise. Solid design! Minimalistic but effective and efficient. 😊
they always leak in the night 😂
You can use outdoor furniture loungers. They fold.
Love this. My only concern is that I have a lightweight scooter and that is an extra item to add to the car
Awesome job!👌
Great conversion ideas for solo micro campers.
Very Well Done! Thank you for sharing! I'm Learning along the way
Thank you. Take a look at my latest video to see a few more details😉
Great idea, love to try that on our 2018 Honda CRV.
Viajamos por muito tempo em um Agile e montávamos todo o momento para dormir a cama. Durante o dia cozinhávamos na parte traseira. E assim fizemos todo o Chile, Paraguai, Argentina e Uruguai, além do Brasil todinho. Hoje temos um camper. É assim, quando se quer de verdade, se dá um jeito. Felizes estradas para nós, para vocês 🙏

Concise, well presented and very cool. Much better than most drawn out conversions here...
Love the layout 👍🏻
I’m loving it!!!👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
About 25 years ago I converted a mk1 fiesta into a micro camper, the bed run the full length of the passenger side (passenger seat was removed) with a mini cooker, sink and storage built into the side behind my drivers seat, it was surprisingly comfortable and I had many a fun week wild camping in lay-bys the length and breadth of the UK for literally the cost of petrol.
This is the best design so far I have seen well done I will use it to convert my SUV. Thanks 👍
I converted my SUV following your design it turns out really great and am so happy to have found your video thank you for helping great design I must say again.
That's great👍🏻
I would be very happy if I could get some pictures of your Conversion.

And the car Is untouched for future use as a normal car again!
Top gear style. Love it
Parabéns pelo projeto!!! Ficou muito bom!!! Abraços Édy Leal e Rê Leal
Wowwww nice!!!!!🤩🤩 Very creative !!!
This is awesome! I'm about to buy the same car for the same purposes, your video will serve me as a big inspiration!
Great👍🏻
dont do it... better buy a BMW E39 530 touring it is bigger, faster, cheaper, better quality, prettier, safer, economically way better than Octavia...

money pit lol
Skoda made brilliant cars
VW rules the world 😎
Buy a Superb estate. Much bigger.
Sieht gut aus, man merkt auch gleich das die Ideen bzw. Inspirationen vom Simon stammen. :-)
Vor allem Simons Idee mit der Standheizung fand ich so gut dass ich sie selber umsetzen musste. Beim Rest hab ich mir noch ein bisschen Inspiration von anderen Ausbauten geholt:)
Very sleek. Neat. Well constructed. Good job!
Nice work! done a great job there
Очень хорошо! Октавия универсальный автомобиль!!! Всего Вам наилучшего!!!
Amazing what you can do with a small space, great job bro!
I'm in my Prius to save money and write a book. I went through 5 air mattresses and now ready to do it right. I didn't know air mattresses produce condensation in winter and gets sleeping bag wet. This is amazing, thank you.
How do they produce condensation?
They don’t…. Your Warm and moist breath gets cooled Down when it meets the windows/Roof and then the moisture falls Down on to your sleeping bag, because cold air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air.
@@bjarkenielsen8515 thanks for the info. I assume a leaking air mattress (as most of them are) will allow more of this moist breath into the atmosphere of the car and make it wetter than it otherwise would have been
@@chunkyfecalbreakfast it may do so. I didn’t think of that, because I always use a pump in order to avoid warm moist air from my lungs and thereby fungi inside my mattress. I guess that supports your argument. 🙂
@@chunkyfecalbreakfast But then again, - it only takes 5 BIG breaths to inflate my air mattres. That equates 2 minuttes of breathing. During a 8 hours sleep you'll breathe about (8hours x 60 minutes x 10 normal breaths) = 4.800 breaths.
So the breaths you put into you mattres is close to nothing, compared to your overall breathing during a night's sleep.
I still think my first argument holds up. (Its not the air in the mattress that makes the difference, - instead it is your overall nightly breathing that is the culprit)
Das Beste aus dem begrenzten Platz rausgeholt. Schöne Sache, das.
Estupendo , yo que estoy mirando opciones para mi auto ; Esta me encantó !!!!!!
How did you make the neat cushion? Superb micro conversion.
Brilliant :-)
Echte a cooles Auto, da geht au was mit ;-)
Love this !
Realy nice i like it very much ❤️👍😎 Good Work 👍
I like the quick grab towels right beside the bed :)
Muito bom brother!! 👍👍
Just ... Amazing !
Serginho from Araruama, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.
It's really useful
It's so easy and quick
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
amazing set up.
awesome job. Can you show a side view of cabinets?
You can see the side view in my latest video😉
Very tidy. I'd have the bed hinged at the back too for some easy underbed storage, seeing as space is at a premium. Also, next time use a Superb, they're mahoosive.
love this music, nice build
sehr schön, hab für meinen Volvo 850 ähnliche mobile Einbauten und fahre während des Sommers an den Wochenrnden damit herum. Reinsitzen, losfahren, die letzte Tor ging an die Nordsee. Würde noch Verdunklungen machen, meine sind aus Isoliermatte/Frost ( nach aussen,) Stoff (innen), befestigt mit Klettband, funktioniert super! Viel Spaß noch.
I want to convert a van , non-permanently of course, but I just don't know how to build cabinets and a ll that! I love how you did this tho!!
Joder
Me he gustado mucho
Tomo nota por si un día me animó hacer lo mismo
Wow I liked it so much!
Hello Escola
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
That 2x4 between the clothes hooks is some mad engineering. Lol
Yeah, so mad that i throw it away😅
Awesome job!👌
Muy completo y genial. Thank you for sharing!
🤠🎖️Very nice👍🎖️
😂😂😂😂
Respeeeeekt! 👍👍👍 Sehr geile Idee!
Круто получилось 👍
I wonder if this layout would work in a hard top Humber. I’m 5’3 so short enough to fit . Need more information on the cabinets.
Brilliant use of space .
verycool 👍
Wow. Thats looks like it would be fun for 10 minutes
Great idea for holidays on your own.
cost - effect 11/10 :) very nice
Wow what a great build
Very good idea. Bravo
Wow, bro it’s cool!!!
Simpel, rapi dan multifungsi😁👍
I'm impressed. Do you have a video of making the bed construction? I have a slatted base to use for a bed in my fiat doblo, that also has to fit over the folded back chairs.
I am pretty poor at DIY, would love a break down of how to make the bed too.
Amazing.
Gotta love men...fecking brilliant!
What kind of bed cushions are those?
Must be nice to have all that space. Almost like a mini van compared to my campervan Sedan lol
Excellent 👌🏼😃
I thought about doing this and bought the wood then thought about it for a few days and though..you know this is going to be heavy especially after I put my stuff in it…so I took the wood back and did something totally different…I’m glad I did because I am still heavy but if I had wood it would be even heavier. I do like your build though!
Why should the Wright be a Problem? You can put Hundreds of kilos in the octavia legally.
@@kempfi1982 the heavier the vehicle, the lower gas mileage.
Zajímavé a neotřelé. Také spím v autě a mám lůžkovou vestavbu ale skládací do kufru. Až do vás něco ze zadu napálí....😳
Na druhou stranu nemusí shánět rakev...
Only 2 things I can't do in my car...when will they make a luxury camper that is ONLY a bathroom?!
Every lady wants this.
Merci mec👍
Думал он мебель собирается перевозить и типа вместимость демонстрирует))) а в середине ролика понял что микро жилье делает🤣👍
Super filmik 🎉
The way a YT vid should be made. Half to 3/4 of vids I watch on YT could be shortened from 15 mins to 5 if people would just shut up and get to the point of the vid.
LOL
Отлично, молодец!
Bel lavoro!!
Попа у вас симпатичная🤣😂🥰
I really love it! Planning to go and travel to Norway in the summer and winter, do you have the dimensions of all the parts if it not too much to ask. Thank so much. I hope you are enjoying it.
Hey, iv've got some drawings with the dimensions. if you want them, just send me an email to technikcheck2016@gmail.com and I'll send you the pictures.
Nice conversion! Amazing what you can do in a car. Have you any plans to do more?
Thank you. I'm thinking about converting a transporter, but at the moment the octavia is still enough for me😅
@@Technikcheck2016 ah that would be ideal!
@@Technikcheck2016 .... Why didn't you make a toilet under the bed plywood at the back side of the car?
Because you wouldnt be able to sit there...
@@Technikcheck2016 ... Right. Actually you placed the bed very low. You should have placed it high so that you could get place to keep more cabinets under it.
I found in one car, they placed the toilet beside the sink basin at the back side of the 2nd seat beside driver, covered by a plywood top. So other times it serves as a table for kitchen. While to make the bed, they place the mattress over stove, sink basin, toilet along with the other side that you made. So it becomes a bigger bed.
I have a set-up in my Yeti, but the same problem - having to move and tilt a seat forward to provide a long enough bed. It annoys me that its JUST not long enough.
An option in a car, to transform it into a caravan, is to remove the right front seat (and store it in a storage room or carry it on the roof rack), and in the long space on the right side put a double folding berth, even better using mattresses inflatables.
I use a hand made special foamy that rolls nicely with freezer on rear driver side giving me solar panel on the roof with the kayak and then have a bike on the back trailer hitch. Bed doubles as office kitchen etc. So I roll the bed out of the way to make space to cook inside during rainy times with the sun roof open and peice of plastic and solar panel keep the water out while I sleep with bug nets is quite comfortable for nomadic life few months of the year. You could go further and get a Chinese diesel heater and live year round if I wanted. Especially with house and gas prices 😆 🤣
Отличный вариант для блогеров-одиночек снимающих видосы о животных, природе, заброшенных местах и так далее.
Beautiful. I have a large dog though, so not enough room. I might have to eliminate the sink cabinet. How did you make the bed slats?
I'm really glad I have the sink, but of course it's not necessary. On my instagram channel: @germantraveller2020 -> "Ausbau" you can find more pictures of the bed slats
@@Technikcheck2016 Oh, sadly I do not use instagram. Neither do I use facebook, only TH-cam
I love it ❤.
Hey thanks for the cool video
Super cool! I would do this in my Citroen but the damn back seats won't go all the way down, probably better off buying a Caddy or something
I had to remove the lower part of the rear seats for the nearly flat surface. Maybe thats possible for your citroen too? Nevertheless the caddy or berlingo are great camper cars.
This is so cool. I want to able to do that with my car but don’t know how.
Which kind of car do you drive?
could you consider sharing blueprints, like bed frame etc..
Nice conversion. I m thinking about S-max conversion.
Gut!
Alter Schwede wenn der Rauchmelder Mal direkt neben deiner Rübe losgeht bist du aber taub 😅
So schlimm ist der jetzt auch nicht, und besser als Tod😅
Instant sub when I saw the octy!! I'm in the middle of also transforming my octy as of right now! Hope you have more content of it!
I just bought some material for retransforming it. Subscribing was the right decision but it will take a while til the next video comes out.
Great one! Nice jog
How’d you make the bed? I want to do that with leaving my seats in. That 2inch drop with the seats flat is an issue.
In the back i leveled up the entire frame, so that i was able to lay the frame down in the front on the back of my rear seats.
Thank you for replying. 😀🤓 I think I can do that. Learning lots and loving it!
genial!
my first "Camper" was a Renault Megane GT. with nothing in it. i had a plywood plate with a Matress on it and several rolling boxes for my clothes, etc.
I called it my Snailhouse 1.0.
Snailhouse 2.0 is my Dacia Dokker with a Bed and a folding Table.
and Snailhouse 3.0 is my QEK Junior caravan from GDR.
The Music is way to loud.. nice conversation though
@@victorinusbythner4332 no.lol
Well, I'll make it better in my next video. Till then just turn the volume down😉
Richard Hammond brought this idea in Top Gear’s Africa Special, where he, Jeremy Clarkson, and James May Turn their cheap £1,500 estates into campers to find the origin of the Nile River in Uganda.
