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.
cool! i actually own this car. it's my first car as a 20 year old. been interested in car camping for a while now, might actually give it a shot! This video was really helpfull!
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?
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.
Cheers David, I apologise for the random selection of videos currently. I am actually working on your dumbbell only workout video at the moment I didn't forget. 😊
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. 😊
On the park4night is it the P on the right of the lake because on the app it says its a lay-by instead for the size of a sprinter, could you explain which P it is on the east side or north side of the lake? Thank you
@@saffronmunro229 I can't see it on Park4night. If you drive the A494 in the direction Corwen to Bala then its just past the official Car Park and Loch Cafe - about 700m. If you do satellite view on google maps you will see it. Plenty of space for a few cars/vans but only one other van when we were there.
@@PeteOnPurpose thank you so much! Been trying to figure it out all day honestly, need a few backups along the way for tomorrow till Monday around there, take care and great video too keep going with it 👍🙂
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.

Nice video Pete...I used it as inspiration for my car camp tonight! 👍😉
oh nice mate, I hope it goes well 🙂

Hatchbacks are the best! So versatile. And you crack me up Pete & Loretta 3:26. Had me rolling on the floor. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I am so glad you liked it, every video I learn a new editing skill and that was my effort in this video. 😂
I used to sleep in a Mitsubishi Colt CZ5. Small car with quite a nice space inside.
Great video buddy I always wonder how people lived in there cars and now I no
Haha, uncovering one of life's great mysteries. 😂

@@PeteOnPurpose , thank you very much.
Cool video! I love a car camp and just bought a polo. How did you stick the card to the windows?
That was Lorettas domain but I believe it was just cut to size and wedged in.
Excellent vid both, something different init 👍

@@PeteOnPurpose nice one Pete, and thanks 👍
bala lake looks quiet & refreshing
very nice
Im interested in doing it. Just want to know where to start. Where to go and stay
I would start small, sleep somewhere close to home and see how you get on. 😀
get on park4night
Loads of great tips, thanks
Cheers bud, the was my current travels are going I should have another tips video on how not to travel in your car soon. 😂
I've been thinking of doing the same with my 4door polo, just wondering what you do if nature calls in the night?
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. 😊
You can use a big bottle like nestea or whatever with the wider cap.
@@bobbyhilda5880 good strategy for number 1, what about a number 2?
@@travellinglostsoul7191 I don't do that at night, but a dog crap bag might help :DD
@@travellinglostsoul7191 Shitting your pants is awkward but feels real good.
You can buy adult nappies in most supermarkets.
Did you take out the back rest from your back seat?
Yes mate
@@PeteOnPurpose makes sense now as to how it's nice and flat
I could never fit into our Altima. I'm way too tall lol.
Why you showing off Chris?! 😂
@@PeteOnPurpose You say showing off until you see how many times I hit my head on doorways each week 🤦
@@FatherhoodAndFitness Haha, tall people problems. 😂
Wich year vw polo is this model? I wanne try this with my Ford Ka 2011 model. But im not sure if it will fit😂
I think it was 2003? You should be able to make it work mate
i have the same car in Qatar now. how will i remove the rear seats??)
You don’t remove the seat they should just fold down.
Hiya great video. Where is this place you stopped at over night? Would really appreciate a response. Thanks!
Hi, it was a little car park near Bala lake. 😀
On the park4night is it the P on the right of the lake because on the app it says its a lay-by instead for the size of a sprinter, could you explain which P it is on the east side or north side of the lake? Thank you

@@saffronmunro229 Cheers bud, enjoy.
Could this be done in a VW Golf
I don't see why not
im going to do it in a fiat 500c!!😂😂😂
Great content
Cheers mate. 😊
How long us that boot space?
not sure mate this was quite a long time ago, no longer have that car
Did you close the back door
Do you mean for ventilation? we have the windows cracked a little
How tsll are you , im a 5.11 female and have a nissan micra picnic is ok but sleeping 😢 im too tall

Are you both three feet tall?
haha i'm 5'10 and Loretta is 5'6, I sleep curled up in a ball. :P
Gone back inside the house for the 17th time.... Women really do all operate on the same OS
haha aint that the truth
👍👍🔜
😀
Did you bend your legs while sleeping? This car is too short.
Yes I sleep curled up on my side
@@PeteOnPurpose you can sleep better in other mini cars like Honda Jazz or Mitsubishi Colt.
You're funny
In the U.K.,sleeping in your car is illegal unless it is an emergency. My information comes from TH-cam’s Black belt barrister.
it was an emergency
Typically, it is absolutely fine to sleep in your car as long as you are legally parked.
It is legal, as long as you're not parked illegally
just say they are pikeys and the police will let them off
How does that make sense they literally try to inslave us can't u tell from that why would it be illegal unless they don't profit from it 😅
