HONDA FIT/JAZZ - GK5 - Making Insulated Light Blocking Curtains for Car Camping

The idea is to sandwich multiple layers together and create an air pocket which will help (theoretically) increase the R-Value.
Towards the end of the video I tried to do a few tests myself to see if they actually did anything. I parked in a parking garage out of the sun and wind to get a stable test environment. Then I would heat my car up to 70F and time how long it would take to drop down to 60F with and without the inserts.
Some days the inserts made a difference while other days they didn't do much at all.
At the end of the day at least they will block out some light.

very nice! it's like a mini quarantine pod but with wheels!
Did I mention that blanket was heated :)
I made something very similar but kept one side reflectix. I would reverse them to have the shiny side out on hot sunny days.
I have a 12" 12v van I'm waiting to try out.
I really love this car ❤
Great video.
Love the background music too
Thanks for sharing.
HAHA xD ii love the opening. I also have a fit and I'm also looking for a way to make insulated screenies. Thanks for creating this!
I'm hoping to make that a T-shirt soon!
I love the "Oh, you have van?" 😂😂😂
Lol, my newest video it was switched to Subaru.
@@HondaFit4Adventure Awesome! Will check it out. Much success on your journey and channel!
@@lawandahodges3002 Thanks LaWanda. Stay & Drive Safe.
I think most people would be interested in the level of light-blocking and stealthiness, more than the temperature inside the car after putting the shades up. Wish you had done a light blocking test & walk-around to show if any light escapes at night.
Hi Photogher. That is a great idea that I can do for a CZcams short. Here is a quick walk around from the outside with just the dome light on.
czcams.com/video/lyzbPyz8vaw/video.htmlsi=4al-uwgSHYB4uIJm&t=917
When I make the walk around video, I'll use a light source that can switch from 25,50 & 75 lumens. This way we can see how much light escapes with different lighting configurations that people may use.
great video! i'll have to share some of the projects ive done on my fit ❤❤
Thank You! I need to make at least one "Summer Time" insert to get some airflow in the car.
Safe Adventure Bryce.
Oh you have a van?.... that's cool... lol!!!
This is going to be one of my first shirts! Followed by oh you have a truck, jeep, etc lol.
@@HondaFit4Adventure maybe throw in 'house' for those of us who are full timers🤣
2:09 Why would you measure that window? It's a mirror image of the passenger side. lol
Do you think a 12 volt blanket or heating pad and a Jacket portable charger would benifit?
I have a fit also
Hi Jay, Yes it is a great idea. That's something I recently got to test out in -5F or -22.5C.
czcams.com/video/pUzSxXkVFTU/video.html
-I don't think it's needed until you hit about 20F. I tested it out in the 20s and It was to warm.
-Some people may say use another blanket or a better sleeping bag, that usually requires more storage
-While buying a portable power bank make sure you are able to service the battery and access the fuse panel yourself without needing to send it in for simple service issues.
-While buying a 12v blanket be aware that most of them come equipped with some type of automatic shut off timer, I'm sure you'd like one where the blanket would stay on all night.
-Lastly, not all but most of the cheaper 12v blankets say "Do not lay on" I see a lot of comments in other heated blanket videos telling the youtuber to lay on the blanket because heat rises. This is what a heated mattress pad is for. They are designed differently
Hi! I’m enjoying your videos. :)
In this video how did you make the tab pulls? I couldn’t make that out. And, what is the dimension of your fold up bed? Twin size?
Hi Kristina,
The pull tabs are roughly 3/4" by 8" strips of the same material folded in half and then glued underneath one of the larger pieces of fabric covering the insert.
My fold up bed is a rock climbing or bouldering crash pad. There are cheaper options out there but I already had this lying around and it was a perfect FIT.
Open size: Open size: 42" x 60" x 4" (106.6 cm x 152.4 cm x 10 cm)
Folded size: 42" x 22" x 13" (106.6 cm x 55.8 cm x 33 cm)
Weight: 14 lbs. 5.1 oz. (6.49 kg)
@@HondaFit4Adventure Thanks! Once again, you have been very helpful.
@@KBinnature Anytime.
nice!!!!!!!!!!!! how about screens for open windows in hot weather? thanks.
I don't have a video on it yet but I'm using two small fans, one over each rear exhauster vent.
One pulls fresh air in while the other blows the humid air out of the car. No need to roll down the windows at all. I also picked up a 12volt cooler. I'll freeze a water bottle and then place it in fronnt of the intake fan for a cool breeze. The melting ice won't put off any humidity like swamp cooler would because it's all contained in the bottle.
I'd love to see a video of you talking about the airflow with your sleeping set up. I've been getting a lot of inspo for my fit camping set up from your channel :) , but since I'm camping with my boyfriend and 2 dogs, air flow is definitely one of my concerns. @@HondaFit4Adventure
I need a set of these. How much would you charge for making a set?
I did this with my Chevy caprice 86 wagon and it was the hardest thing And many fill out in the sun got too bright It melted the Velcro glue. I can’t do it again I’m in despair. there has to be a better way but apparently not that I know of figure out.
I used Gorilla Glue. It's been holding up, but the dry time made it difficult to work with.
The video I copied my design from used a hot glue gun to hold everything together. I didn't think that would hold up to well but apparently they used Gorilla Glue hot glue sticks to get the job done.
@@HondaFit4Adventure I’m thinking about buying a set of those side window shades from blinds4cars pre-made to fit my car model and then Adhering some blackout fabric to the shades. The only problem I can foresee there is they don’t seem to make blackout fabric in black for some reason, 1 only find it in tan.
what matress is that?
www.metoliusclimbing.com/recon.html Its a foldable gym mat used for rockclimbing.nits double purpose for me. Theres cheaper option but Ibwould reccomend anything that folds. I can fold to access the spare tire. Or fold the front half to access underneath.
Thank you, I have the same car and was looking into sleeping setups for it. Appreciate this
@@RC-the-OG No problem. I'll have a full tour video out by May. Still working on the kitchen.
Can't wait. I have subscribed thank you
Got it!! Thanks.
can you breathe with the windows closed 100%?
Hi Idham, Your car has several air vents located through out the car. These are meant to equalize the air pressure in the cabin and prevent your windows from exploding while driving. Crazy right! Anyway these vents mean your car is not 100% sealed and you can breathe with ease. You can see the Honda Fit rear vents in this video czcams.com/video/pHaX2q1mlso/video.html You just have to watch the humidity levels on the inside of the car.
Thank You for Watching.
@@HondaFit4Adventure thank you, now I can cover and close all my windows with confidence. On condensation issue, can I just use electric dehumidifier that can be plugged in to a power bank?
and you just have a random stop sign.
Some might call it a stop sign, I call it it my future Skid Plate 😂
Yeah. Some crazy glue, a few small hooks, a couple dark curtains later, and I have all the privacy and insulation I need for waaaaaaayyyy less time, effort and money than this bullshit. But you need to be pretentious about it.
Jake, by that logic why do we create anything of quality. Why make sports cars when Honda's are way less time, effort and money to build?
@@HondaFit4Adventure That's a stupid analogy. All that was just extra.
@@jakesmerth1919 you know who’s stupid? People like you. You probably don’t even have a drivers license. FOH
@jake smerth I could say the same to you. Some ear plugs, a thick hoodie with cinched drawstrings, a couple sleeping pills later, and I have all the privacy and insulation I need for waaaaaaayyyy less time, effort and money than this bullshit. But you need to be pretentious about it. All that was just extra.
@@mohammadalimahyari9686 Yes, going with the cheapest options and spending less time and energy is just SO pretentious. Maybe Google Pretentious.
Or, you could just go take the whole bottle of sleeping pills and save even more time, money and effort. It's not even your video but you gotta white knight it like a butthurt lil ano.
