Man Turns his Toyota Car into Micro RV for Stealthy Car Camping

Have you ever thought of converting your car into a stealthy car camper so you can easily sleep in it while traveling without being noticed?

This way you don’t have to spend so much extra money and time getting in and out of hotels while you try to get somewhere.

So I wanted to show you what I’ve been working on for the last few days. Of course it’s considerably smaller than your average tiny house so I’m not sure if you’re still with me but even if you’re not…

Isn’t it fascinating what can be done to make an economy size car a comfortable place to sleep for the night......

Toyota Prius is available with an RV attachment—available only in the Japanese market. (includes a shower!)...

His name was Dick Teague. He was actually quite talented, given what he had to work with.

Awesome rig.
Hopefully with a rear spring upgrade...

Unfortunate styling, aerodynamic though it may well be, turned that Prius into a Priapus, lol.

I love the Honda CR-V (we are on our third), but I believe they were introduced in 1997 - perhaps you have a 2001?

Nope, just fat fingers and an inability to edit before posting. It's a '97. The worst year for power to fuel economy. All the power of an anemic four-cylinder, and all the fuel mileage of an inline 6.

I had a late-90s Audi with the ski pass through at the rear seat arm rest. Really handy for carrying pipe sections, trim pieces, etc. home from the store.

My 1977 Toyota Corolla Liftback was a great camping car.

Lay down the back seats and my 6 foot frame could stretch out for a night's sleep.

would be able to sleep 2 people comfortably (if a little cozily, you do have to like your traveling companion)?
