    Anyone in here is doing car camping? Like in sleeping in your car instead of a tent.

    Me and my gf are doing a lot of read trip every year and we would like a car with enough room so we can sleep in it.

    I dont want a big van, i was thinking of a Toyota RAV-4 or something like that.

    Any experience in here?

    • five of us once spent the night in my old renault 5 on beachy head. i don't recommend it. get a vanhans_glib
    • Sleeping in cars sucks. Fine if it’s an emergency but I wouldn’t plan a trip around itGnash
    • yep, every single experience of sleeping in a car has been horrendous for me.fadein11
    • The term ‘car camping’ usually just means you are bringing all your gear to a campsite in a car, instead of on your back or in a canoeGnash
    • Anyway, don’t do it. Bring a tent and air mattressGnash

    • maybe you're right, i am just starting thinking about it, i haven't make any decisions yetBennn
    • There actually was a crossover / hatchback car with a built in tent some years ago. Can't remember the name. Probably cheap as hell these days.nb

    • I’ve done it a bit. In hot weather it’s the pits though. Forester with the back seat folded down and an inflatable mattress.thumb_screws
    • It’s ok for 1 or 2 nights but if you have a bit of kit with you, you end up sleeping wedged between all your stuff.thumb_screws
