Hurts my soul watching trout get put back 😂 they are so tasty

Nice video!

Just use boot warmer packets and a good sleeping bag.

What year is your Corolla?

I have a 17ft kayak mounted on top of my "Camperolla". It serves well as optional storage while driving or sleeping.

Looking at purchasing a 2025 Camry to do a similar mod, thanks for sharing all of your process!

What lures do you use for trout in Alberta

THANK YOU!

You look like Johnny Sins !!!

Thank-you!

Me, 2010 Nissan Versa, a hatchback, I would highly recommend onr

Hey are you still active. How did the build hold up?

I sold my house and bought a 5th wheel for my family and I. Unfortunately we had a big mudslide that may take a year to clear between me and my work. The long way in is also unstable, and since I cannot afford to stay in a hotel…I am thinking about setting up a Corolla that was left for dead out here as a bug out vehicle that I can stay in should the road close when I am away.

i plan on doing something similar with my impreza, nice camper bro!

Hell yeah! What lake?

Aircraft mock-ups look horrible, too. I think this looks good to me. Thank you for making this video.

Instantly subbed

Buddy i don't see the video on how you got rid of the backrests! Link it pls

The original plan was to go to the mountains, but I decided to do that for the next trip, just so I could troubleshoot.

Only -10.... That is the coldest maddest thing ever....

Multiply by 1.8 add 32. Good stuff brother I’ll remember that the rest of my life. Shame nobody ever gave me that simple conversion until now.

Nice video man . Loved it❤

I do you.

I admire your resourcefulness in making a Corolla into a caRV! Love it

Red deer river?

Love it man. Great setup. I cannot wait to get back out there again.

Hi , where did you get the window covers

Thank you! Спасибо друг!

After the vacation when you go back to daily life, do you put your backseats back? Is it easy to put back?

Hi. I live in Calgary, and im looking to turn my 2008 Ford Focus into a car camper. I love how you call your Car the CarV. So clever. Thank you for posting this video..its going to be so helpful. Im so glad i found a fellow Calgarian/Canadian.

Nice

Love the Rockies. though many years since I backpacked my way around Canada. I did two four week trips in my Carolla sedan least year, one up through central New South Wales, as far as the Queensland border, then back along the East coast of Australia and the second up through Central Australia. Camped at Uluru for a week and had a brilliant time exploring there. It even rained on the rock, so rare in the desert. Added 11,000 kms to the clock. Both trips were epic and the Carolla did not miss a beat. Happy camping and fishing!

I've been car camping in my 2011 Toyota Carolla sedan for many years, but sleep in the driver's seat laid as flat as possible with a suitcase to support my legs at the front. Sadly the passengers console comes down low, so less foot room there. It works forme and the resultatnt storage in the boot and back seat are amazing. Mine is set up with a fridge and gear for a pretty cool outdoor kitchen. I also carry a fire pit and small folding toilet. My camp kitchen fits into a backpack designed for photography, that I have repurposed. I use a Coleman dual fuel single burner stove. Anything stored in the back seat is either contained in black, or covered in black to match the seats. Sadly, in Australia, if we modify the seats we void our insurance, so more limited in scope than you are in N America it seems. I love your set up. If I could legally remove the back of even the wider section of my passenger seat backs I would!

Should add another piano hinge so you can access the spare tire. I've done the same on my Corolla but removed the seat bottom cushion too. 2003-2011 Corrolas are unchanged.

Stumbled across your vid Oliver, simple and to the point, no loud music, got some really good tips and ideas so will modify my old Mk2 Rave4 using your plans, thanks for sharing, take care. 👍😃

cool stuff

The tent is what makes the car V work. It’s a strategy; it’s not cheating. ✌🏻

travel everywhere enjoy and safe money good jobs bro. i will start doing this soon with my car to

Which part of lake mcgregor if you dont mind

Hey how do you like the waist pack one year later? I have a gift card that I’m thinking to use on it.

Thanks for the cool video. Maybe consider installing an under a desk keyboard slideout tray for the stove?

I did close to the same build, trunk part is the same (the reason for that part of a modification was so I could keep a full-size spare) However, the bed platform is only on the 60 split, the 40 split part of the seat is still in. Don't think I could really do anything with taking that out to solve this issue, but I am normally a side sleeper, and I had kinda a tough time sleeping because my hips were hitting on the top trim part of that opening into the trunk... any ideas to get more room there?

The Corolla I had was small compared to newer ones. I unbolted the passenger seat and removed it indoors and the backseat cushion. Then got a board to fit from the glovebox to the backseat. I padded it with the cushions from my sofa. I made reflectix shade covers for the windows. Depending on your car you might attach 2 legs with 2x2's cut to size to get a comfortable level. I drove across the country and was gone 6 week, but on the road for 3 weeks. When I got home I had driven 6700 miles solo. What I didn't plan for was not having radio and cell reception in the open-space areas. somedays for 7-8 hours, but hey the scenery was great.

hi, I wanted to find out about the hardware, bedding, and the window screens there actual names/brand where are available any info related to these items please. Thanks for your time... -W-

Hello thanks for share video. How much tall are you if i can ask. And how much lenght is there for making bed in corolla? Thank you

can you take the wood out incase you have a flat tire?

Litttt. I can’t wait to do this

do you still have the bottom carseat underneath your plywood?

From where did you get those locking mechanism.?

All bulltrout in Alberta are catch and release. You should work on your fishing releasing/handling skills. Keep the fish in the water!
