Micro Car Camper Conversion for Stealth Camping
Vložit

- How to convert a small car into a comfortable stealth camper in 20 minutes, that was my aim.
It may look like a standard little car from the outside but inside there is a comfortable bed with electric blanket, a induction hob for warm drinks and cooking and everything you need for the perfect nights sleep and nobody would know you were there, the perfect stealth camper !!
The US may have stealth bombers, but we have Pat and his Peugeot!
You certainly have......thanks Pat
Pat's more friendly tho
@@SonofChurchill That's very true sir. I live just over the hill from Pat in NE Derbyshire (having grown up in Sheffield) and he has never carpet-bombed my street (as yet)!
RAF Vulcan Stealth Bombers stumped NORAD
@@bonechip01 I remember when my mate was stumped by such things in the 80s. We were watching Star Trek III when a Klingon Bird of Prey appeared and he asked "Is that a Vulcan Bomber?". One actually flew over our school in about in about 1982 (in Sheffield). What a lush day that was!
If a zombie apocalypse ever happens I want to be in Pat's group.
I intend surviving come what may......all the best Pat
Count me in for sure. Good to see a new video from Pat, what a treat.
Patrick, I truly think you're some kind of crazy (maybe not so crazy!) genius. You never fail to entertain and inspire!
I like the word, entertain Natasha, because that is what I like to do......thanks Pat
After a couple minutes in I was going to exit this video but I am so glad that I didn’t. You did an excellent job. I love the way that everything fits in so snuggly. You obviously have put a lot of time and effort into this build. Well done and enjoy your travels.
Thank you so much, always loved build things and wild camping so this made a great project........ thanks Pat
Absolutely fantastic. Really great job, Pat. I wonder how many among us just smiled and nodded when each bit slotted in snugly in the car. The battery - perfection! 😆
Can't wait to see the first stealth camp in the car 👍
Many thanks!...yes all fitted like a glove.....thanks Pat
Wow, impressive how turned a mini car into a cosy bedroom 👌🏼
Glad you like it, and it is so comfy, had some of the best nights sleep ever....... thanks Pat
Impressive ❤. I have a 208 as well . If my misses ever kicks me out I’m coming to see you 😂
You'll be fine in the 208 Ben.......Pat
You never cease to amaze me Pat ! - You think of everything to make life not just simple for a stealth camp but created to perfection too! The magnets, the middle post etc. Looking forwards to seeing it all in action come March. Stay stealthy! x
Yes did a few trips and each one threw up new problems and ideas, so for ever improving things..... thanks Pat
It's a real privilege to see someone so enthusiastic and passionate doing what they love, I hope you have many a great stealth car camp Pat, can't wait to come along for the ride (next adventure)
Really nice of you to say.....thanks Pat
"can't wait to come along for the ride (next adventure)" Unsure it will fit two people. 🤪
You'll be very welcome
Patrick you clearly are used to solving problems, in a creative way. No doubt an engineering background! Looking forward to seeing your Micro Car Camper adventures! See pleased to see you back!
Yes love a project, all the investigation, ideas and construction, enjoy it all......thanks Pat
That is a great set up Patrick. You've obviously thought out every detail. Top job!
Yes love a building project.....thanks Pat
👍👍👍 legendary!!
Sweet setup Pat... everything but a hand pulled beer rig 🫣
Yes would be nice, but a definet no no with the car.....thanks Pat
🤣
Smashing that Pat! currently doing up my 16 year old Berlingo into a car camper slowly imbetween work, and this has given me some inspiration. Got the lights, blinds and curtains sorted. Just need to sort the bed set up. You're a very clever man Pat, I love all the attention to detail and the thoughtful process involved.
Great car the Berlingo I had one for several years could carry all sorts in it, will make a great camper......thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Cheers pat, looking forward to seeing what you get up to :)
Brilliant! Roll on march@@patrickdickinson6492
I just love the way you solved so many problems with this design. What an inspiration you are Patrick. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing it in action
You are very welcome and its great to share my ideas and adventures.......thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 I'm now going to have a go at doing summert similar with my estate car
Wow you did an amazing job with this micro camper! One of the best I’ve seen!
Thank you Wendy, enjoyed building it and very satisfying when it all goes together well....... thanks Pat
So pleased you are back. you have inspired me with camping and the way of life. xx
Wonderful!..... really good to hear this, hope you have some great adventures...... thanks Pat 🏕️💤💤
Hi Patrick, you never cease to amaze me mate. Well done you, and I’m looking forward to March for the next Wild Camp. Take care. God bless.🙂 Geoffers.
Thanks Geoffers 👍....loved building it.....thanks Pat
Brilliant mate! Im just buying a Tentbox classic for the roof of my car. Im 65 and finding it a little harder wild camping than i used to. My car to small to stretch out in. Love your micro camper!
Sounds great! and yes getting older does restrict normal camping, so this is a great alternative.....thanks Pat
Amazing Pat. I love the way it all fits in so well. What a great job
Thank you very much Martin
Great stuff pat,you've thought of everything and done extremely well,just as we new you would.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Wayneo, yes each trip there is some new mod to improve it.....thanks Pat👍
Great work Pat ❤
Thanks Harold, a enjoyable project to build, looking forward to putting it to proper use.....thanks Pat
What a fantastic job Pat, if only there was a track wide enough to get it up on Ringing Roger!!! Very well done, look forward to seeing you in Barcelona. Atb , Rich
Haha...yes will be sticking to the tarmac roads with this one.....thanks Pat
Absolutely brilliant Pat. Smashing to see you back.
Thanks Anthony, good to be back filming again and sharing my adventures........ thanks Pat
Love the Pat-mobile and can’t wait to see it in action
Haha thanks Sarah, so comfortable on there, some of the best nights sleep I have had....... thanks Pat
Very impressive and brilliantly engineered. You seem to have thought of everything bar the kitchen sink. I did wonder whether you might use the micro-camper in Summer weather, and how suitable it would be and also, whether you'd need say, a mini fridge.
Had camped in it last summer, very hot and had to use a fan, may need a bit more work on that side of it in summer.....thanks Pat
Another cracking video Pat. Thoroughly enjoyable as always. Thank you for continuing to entertain and inspire.
Many thanks!.....see you on the next one.....Pat
Just love this, Pat. So incredibly well thought through and brilliantly executed. Just great stuff. 🙂
Thanks so much!....I like to be organised......thanks Pat
That is the best micro camper conversion I have seen. It was really worth the extra effort you put in. I especially like the fact that you kept everything black, it is so much better for when you are using the car during the day.
Thanks Andy, yes really interesting to build, I wanted it to be a proper stealth camper, but to revert back to a normal car in 20 mins, looking through the windows all you see is black....... thanks Pat
When remember when you were young , you shone like the SUn indeed
Very true
What an ingenious set up Patrick. Love it. Looking forward to you future stealth camping videos.
More to come Gary, should be able to tell you more on next outing.....thanks Pat
That's a great set up Pat, you've put a lot of thought and design into it and it's worked out brilliantly. Happy travels!
Yes loved the design and coming up with the ideas......thanks Pat
I feel like I've just watched an episode of The A Team.
Haha, maybe you have......thanks Pat
Great video Patrick and an excellent effort with kitting your car out for stealth camping, very inspiring.
Thank you, love a project like this, roll on Barcelona...... thanks Pat
Really glad to see you are back. I enjoy your content. I love working with my hands and making things and get a lot if good ideas from you home. GOD BLESS you from Texas.
Awesome! Thank you! and yes always loved making things....thanks Pat
Excellent job you’ve done there on your car conversion Pat. Love the black theme setup mate. Will be interesting now to see how this all works on your first adventure. Thanks for sharing this video Pat.
Yes thought black would suit proper stealth camping,,,,,thanks Pat
A job well done Pat... look forward to seeing the adventures.
Thanks Aron, looking forward to sharing my adventures.......Pat
Your engineering skills shine through with this build. Great to see you back.👍🚙👍

Glad you enjoyed it.......thanks Pat

Thank you.....Pat
Ingenious set up. You are a man who knows what he wants and how to achieve it. Fantastic. Looking forward to your first stealth camp.😊

My pleasure to share this, all enjoyable, the design the build and actually using it....... thanks Pat
You sir pat are a genius. That looks very cosy and has every thing you need. This will give your viewers a car camper project I bet. Fantastic. Stay safe.
Yes a different style of camping, but still provide you with adventure......thanks pat
Thanks for the idea Patrick. I doubt mine would be anywhere as well thought-out as yours, but you've given me some inspiration. Thanks for the videos
Suprising what room you have in a basic little car, and can be made so comfortable.....thanks Pat
I follow a few car stealth camping channels, but this one is absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to the next one 🙂
Awesome, thank you..... hopefully show you more in the next video, plus a day out in Barcelona........ thanks Pat 😊
This popped up on my recommended feed, thought it was worth a click. I appreciate how your presentation style for this video and how you’ve conveyed the information.
When your 208 is camp mode it certainly does look more spacious than you might expect. Also nice work with the window blinds, they certainly do the job well.
Great to have you along, although a small car with the seats moved forward there is a surprising amount of room, just spent two nights in the car, very comfortable, a bit like luxury wild camping..... thanks Pat
Neat set-up. You can definitely tell that you took the time to fabricate and make sure that every piece of the build had its purpose. Great ideas for a compact car!
Yes loved building it and getting that perfect fit, and such a comfotable night in there......thanks Pat
Ingenious, you’ve provided solutions to some things I was myself pondering with regards to a similar project, can’t wait to see you put this setup to good use.
Many thanks, Steve.
Great to hear steve....all the best Pat
You are just so clever Pat! So good to see you back on the channel 👌🏻♥️ xxx
Thanks Ginettte, at least I will be able to camp into my old age now.....thanks Pat
