    Anyone else in the car camping crew? 😂
    Where we parked - If you drive the A494 in the direction Corwen to Bala then its just past the official Car Park and Loch Cafe - about 700m.

      Yes Its such a great car and there will be more than enough space for one person for sure. We only upgraded because there is two of us and we are planning on going round Europe for some time.

    I really like the video, I’m thinking to do car camping this summer. However, I do have 2 questions for you. 1. How you maximise the space inside, what do you do with the front seats? 2. The first location where you car camped, looked marvellous, can you provide a postcode, please?

    • @PeteOnPurpose
      @PeteOnPurpose  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We just folded the two front seats down when we were sleeping.
      The location is in North Wales near Corwen - If you drive the A494 in the direction Corwen to Bala then its just past the official Car Park and Loch Cafe - about 700m.

      When I am car sleeping I try not to drink anything near bed time because if nature calls its a pain. Basically getting out the car to find somewhere you can pee. 😊

      I’m 5ft 10in and I’ve managed a decent night’s sleep in my fairly small Hyundai Getz. I found the secret was to sleep slightly diagonal which added a bit of extra length to the sleeping arrangement. A few extra cushions in the space between the 2 front seats 💺💺, meant I could really stretch out if I wanted to.
