The foam mattres is quite confortable. That being said, for 2 adult that would be better for sure. Thanks for the comment.

Luckily our kids does not have to go to the bathroom during the sleep. And we always find a spot with some bathroom. So that ended up not being a problem at all for us. On a side note, our children asked to go to vancouver that way, because they enjoyed the other trip's. But indeed, it is a tight space. The idea is only to show to other people that it can be possible even with 4 people in some ways, if it can work for them. It is not for everyone indeed, but for us we have awesome memories from these trips.

Not at all. We really travelled quite a lot over the last year, including travelling the entire canada up to vancouver. I was thinking we would take a bit of last-minutes hotels but in the end it worked so great, that we didnt had to. We had amazing views, amazing travel with lots of memory.

Thanks for the input, yes we wanted to bring one of the "indoor cat tree" so he can sleep on that too... but we did not thad the space :( Taking the blanket idea for the kitty. Thanks

Thank you! It was indeed amazing trip!

Indeed! this cat is awesome. Thanks for taking time to comment.

Thank you! So far it has been working great. We are lucky everyone is healthy and love these adventure! Take care.

Agreed, I've been looking to get something bigger. Falling for a Ford-Transit or something..... but we find these expensive. Overall beside bigger bed, and more room (ability to walk indoor). We dont see how we could bring as much stuff in a bigger van. I guess that will be for a future chapter maybe in a year or two! :)

I know its insane! We are a bit crazy :). Thanks for taking time to watch / comment. We are working on doing the tour of our Kitchen area.

Thanks, indeed. Working on rebuilding the indoor to make it nicer / less of a mess... A few issues right now, its actually not that big :D... oh well since i started we will try to finish it!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. We actually have a ultra light tent (nature hike). Really usefull. That being said, when you street stealth camp for a night (while traveling). You can't setup the tent in the city. That what the cargobox is for, bringing extra stuff for when we are on BLM.

It would definitely help, but i believe we would not be able to have a cargo box. Plus, we like the fact that we can sleep everywhere (ex: we slept in the SUV in North Vancouver in the town where we were allowed to park for the night) in a stealth fashion. But indeed if you do not need the stealth factor a rooftop tent make sense, though its way more expensive than a bunch of wood.

Thanks for the comments, We will definitely improve our video's. Apologize for it.

Thanks for your comment, I understand it is a tight space, not for everyone. On a side note, our kids enjoyed our last trips last winter and they were the ones that kept saying they wanted to travel and visit Vancouver, so we made it happen. If anything we will always be there for our kids.

Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! ❤

Thanks for watching, taking time to comment. For us it has been pretty useful but it is not for everyone!

@@5inSUVtravelingTHIS,is fantastic, you guys are living your life on your terms, traveling, making great memories….now, THIS MY FRIEND IS HOW LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED. ❤❤

Thank you for watching and your comments. Yes FAN / Window covers are a must. It can get quite hot / high condensation/moisture.... especially with 4 people inside. We also have roof-top vent's ( i upgraded it to dual fan.... since i felt it needed more power ).

Agreed, security wise there are a lot of flaws. In our 3rd version we will improve these element to make sure its secured. The idea was to screw them permanently, so they can't move and on a side note we have other pillows that is usually on each side of the kids (over the wood). In the event of an accident the head would hit the pillow...... That being said, I'm happy we did not had any accident 🙏, you got a valid point, and security is important.

Thanks, I could not find anything on youtube for 4 seat / sleep 4.

Thank you so much! Let see if i can make it even better and better looking this time.

@@5inSUVtravelinggreat adventurers with your family ❤❤

Indeed! Thanks for the great idea. We could add a soft material similar as what is on a cat tree/condo's on that wood. It would make it softer and better looking, plus should be more confortable for the cat. Will definitely get my daughter finding something for that. Awesome idea! thanks.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, stay tuned for our next version . I'm still thinking about it, but i believe we should be able to be a few inch lower, and also being able to cook and have a sink indoor...... not sure if i can pull that off but i think i can 😸 (anyone that is not subscribed, subscribe to get the notification.)

Hello, luckily we did not need one. Looks like the cat never did anything inside so far... That being said, on our next version i'll find a place for it. Even though we would stop often for the cat, it would be better for his health i'm sure.

Thank you! much appreciated. I wish this will give idea to others!

Agreed thanks for the input. We will definitely look at roof tent at some point. Note we also have tent and inflatable mattress, Our initial idea was to do a lot of camping with the tent + 2 person in the SUV. But being able to sleep indoor, if we do not find camping area (ex: in Banff we had no pre-booking made). That being said, the kids and us preferred to sleep indoor as it was easier to setup, and we had enough room. I understand it might not work for everyone though. As for the roof tent, we like the fact that it can be stealthy(ish) and we preferred to use a cargo box at the top to bring stuff, to make the indoor more spacious while driving even though if it was packed. In the end, it worked for us and for sure if we continue travelling this kind of way we would need more space as the kids are getting older :D

Pop up tents like gazelle to me are more flexible than roof tents for as kids grow. Cargo trailer conversions offer very budget options if you are willing to tow. Even 6’ wide by 10’ feels luxurious but with your Tetris skills even 5x8 would feel heavenly.

Thank you, ideally it gives idea to other people. It is a small space, but it worked for us on a low budget travelling and giving nice memories for the kids hopefully!

That is awesome! This is my goal to give some idea to others. I am redoing our indoor, we were thinking to upgrade to a ford transit and/or sprinter... but i can't see how it could be better than our SUV :D You do not want to miss our next video's, I am improving the SUV Conversion and we should be able to have an indoor table, induction cooktop, sink, outdoor bathroom (setup in like less than 30 seconds...).... Glad its giving some idea's.

Thanks, I though we would be doing more camping around Banff, but we ended up doing like over 30 day straight (we sleep 3 night in camping) everything else was in the SUV. Even one night we could of setup the tent (we had a bike tour tent easy to install...), and the kids were like... nah we will sleeping the car its better lol. Btw we are building a newer version! I guess I'm crazy :D. We will have a bathroom, table, drawers, and we should be maybe 3 inch lower.

@@5inSUVtraveling that's awesome! looking forward for that video ;)

Ooo I can't help but think of all those wood splinters with raw wood, especially with kids, the weight and all that faff, I'd use a tent just 4 sleeping all in pop up saves all that time

@@christinewood8331 a tent for 4 of us would definitely works. That being said, we are the kind of people that doesn't book stuff in advance. We prefer freedom, and go as we feel / find stuff on our route... We try to find Public Land (BLM) (Free camp sites), while being respectfull of the environment. For us setting up the 'bed' takes less than 5 minutes, and same to undo the bed. Having a tent would take way more time. Plus we 'stealth' slept in various area (New York, North Vancouver, ...) where a tent would be hard to setup. But definitely, we do bring a tent in the cargo box, and use it if we find a campground with available sites.

For a lot of BLM - a gazelle pop up tent is 1 min. Both up & down. Put it in a top box. You still have SUV set up for stealth / city nights

One of my first video of this kind (items that we bought) . Thanks for watching.

My thoughts exactly… 4 people too? Oh man.. To each their own I guess

Dont worry we change the water, ;) plus it has a filter to help out.

Thanks for watching! We will add the bed setup / unsetup (which takes about 5 minutes).. and a full tour, We spent over 3 month in a year, in a such tiny home. Gathering memories forever from the various views and people we met.
