Who would guess this unassuming Toyota Echo would be able to sleep 2 people comfortably (if a little cozily, you do have to like your traveling companion)?

I met a woman who was easily sleeping in her car while traveling. It was a head on.

No one seriously injured but I did loose a nice sports sedan.

The old Nash and Rambler autos had fold down seats for sleeping. They were pretty cozy.

Seems a bit of a stretch to truly classify this Toyota as a "RV" even with the modest wooden modifications.
It is essentially folding down the rear seats and sleeping with feet extended towards back of vehicle in trunk.
It also begs the question...does one simply put all their luggage and possessions outside while asleep?

Aw shoot, just tip the front seats back into the recline position. They’re about as comfortable as a recliner at home in most any modern car.

Reminds me of the old Volvo 240 that had the hole into the trunk through the fold down arm rest in the middle of the back seat. That way you could put your skis through the trunk back before the days of the roof rack.

Back in my long hair bass guitar playing rock and roll days a band mate had an AMC rebel. The seats folded flat and it was a fret place to sack out for a coup,e of hours after a gig.

I’ve never owned a vehicle I COULDN’T live in, and did.

1984 Toyota Truck with canopy (a.k.a. “topper”)

1994 Toyota Camry Wagon (a big mistake, but I could and did live in it for a week at a time)

2003 Toyota Tundra w/ canopy.

My current rig holds 500+ pounds of camping gear while I’m out for a week or two at a time.

If I recall, didn’t the Washington DC sniper do something like this with a Ford Crown Victoria?

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

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.
