    This week we try and turn our car into a micro camper for two, maybe predictably, it doesn’t work out that well…
    Haha, join us for an uncomfortable rainy night in a tiny car

      Tom you say you can't do woodwork, but it all looked ingenious 👍
      (We used to have a Clio and the sunroof leaked all the time... somehow, even when it wasn't raining!)
      This was easily one of the funniest videos you've ever made. 🤣 👏

    Hi guys 👋
    I actually lived in my car on and off during COVID in 2021~ I'm a large lady and was absolutely fine in a little VW Polo. I just reclined the passenger seat all the way back, raised my legs with a suitcase and cushions at the front, and Bob was my uncle!
    My only issues were a sore neck at times and I was always a little worried that some weirdo might be watching me and come and make trouble so I always parked in a public car park by a row of cottages and streetlight. But thanks to God, I was always fine! X So pleased I can look back on it fondly like you guys will be able to. ❤

    Well, that was a laugh - for us!! If anyone was in a bad mood when they started watching that, they couldn't have been by the end of the video. Well done for sticking it out till the morning. Hope you are able to get your van unstuck soon!

    Well done Izzy for always trying to look on the bright side and keep Tom’s spirits up in difficult situations , an indeed he does for you on other occasions. I think we can say one person can camp in a car but 2 is more difficult but much more of a laugh and shared experience which, as Tom says, you do learn from & will never forget 😅.

    Oh this is so funny with the twisting and moving around. Plus to hear Izzy just giggle. The rain is coming down. To watch Tom crawl out is too much. At least you gave it a go. Thank you for the time of laughter of two good sports.

    @connory6741 Před 2 měsíci

    Suggestion for a solo run, sleeping properly in the Clio is to take front passenger seat out but leave rear seats in so u can still carry passengers, then get a roof box for bed parts/luggage. Also for solo runs, for safety u could wrap seat belt through door arm rest and plug it in, if that’s possible.

  • @trevorbarrett9971
    @trevorbarrett9971 Před měsícem

    Crazy, crazy idea - but good fun to watch 🤣
    Fair play to both of you for having gone through with it - the comment about it being a coffin wasn't far off!
    Don't think I could have done it, The Vanishing (1993) comes to mind, so you might guess I a little claustrophobic!

    Good job your both slim. Think my back would have gone trying to get in there. But I bet it would be ok if weather was better a cheap dome tent. Is tidy on a hatch back car. You can leave the boot up then once the back of car is under the tent but I think you might get your van out in the next few weeks

  • @DaveyPalmer1
    @DaveyPalmer1 Před 3 měsíci +3

    That was a real hoot guys. Like sleeping in a microwave! 😅 Suggestions for your forthcoming trips - Montenegro is stunning and the Bay of Kotor is very fjord like. You'll love it! Croatia should be on your itinerary too as it is a beautiful country from the Dalmatian Coast, or Kvarner Bay or breathtaking towns like Rovinj. Hilltop villages like Motovun are fab too. Closer to home, if you do go back to Scotland then the little island of Easdale in Argyll is wonderful. It's a two minute ferry ride from the gorgeous village of Ellenabeich (the Oyster Bar there has just reopened after a refurb & has vegan options). Easdale often appears on Scotland's best wild swimming spots as the old slate pits there, some 90m deep, flooded in a storm over 100+ years ago. It wiped out the slate industry but left behind the most magical wild swimming pools that we swam in last July and we're doing the same this summer 😊

    I have spent a night in my car once on a "fall" camping trip when it got down to probably 20 degrees F (about -7 C), and I thought it might be warmer than in my three-season tent. Wrong. For sure, it was just me in there, and it was a small SUV rather than a euro hatchback. But I am with you -- no desire to repeat the experience. But as always with you guys, you made it look fun, even if it wasn't!

  • @davidlambert5171

    You could try to hinge the two plyboards together and just open them up when in position. a blow-up mattress and pillows might be easier with sleeping bags rather than a duvet, as they can be zipped into one big bag. Good idea on the roof storage box though.
