  • I wanted to share how I turned my little Kia Soul into place to camp when I went out to visit Sturgis 2020 motorcycle rally and more adventures further west in Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole Wyoming and more! Car camping was so easy with the plywood board braces for my exped single mattress, and had more than enough room for all my motorcycle gear for renting a bike and everything else. In this video, I give you a quick walkthrough on how I created my own privacy black-out shades and how I packed the Kia Soul with everything I needed. I still had a ton of room during my week-long adventure. Thanks for tuning in and make sure to subscribe for more moto-related and adventure content!

    Your platform bed is so cool! I don’t think I’ve ever thought of making one for travel 🤔 I’m surprised at how much room the Kia Soul has! Hope you enjoyed your trip! I’ve got a lot of videos to catch up on 🙌🏽

    Love the vids. Small tip: I believe you’re looking into the view finder and not the camera lens. The viewer will feel connected to you more if you look at the lens. It’s a common thing with a lot of RUclipsrs but the best ones overcome it. I look forward to all your vids so keep ‘em comin’.

    Outstanding job! You Definitely took advantage of every nook and cranny I salute you I am currently designing my KIA Soul for a tour of the 48 states to celebrate my retirement. I like your water system that gave me many sleepless nights trying to figure out purification and all. THANK YOU! Maybe I'll see you on the road ?

    Thank you for all the tips! I own a KIA Niro and was wondering how to "camperize" it for short trips. Your layout is pretty nice!

    I was wondering what to do about the windows! Looks like that might be a better option that setting up curtains... where can I get this stuff?

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  3 года назад +7

      I stenciled each window out and made them with foam board, reflective and fabric all glued together. :) Maybe I should create a video explaining that more.

    • @antuAnoro
      @antuAnoro 3 года назад +1

      @@whitmeza could you please explain how it keeps "glued" to the windows glass? Thanks!

    I use to own a truck with a topper and setup for sleeping. My problem is I snore like a freight train so no camping in a parking spot.

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  3 года назад

      That's a perfect set up.

    Hi Whit from the Nothingness State of California. Since you are taking the Kia camping, where are the kiddos going to spill all their orange juice?

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  3 года назад

      Ha ha. Hopefully not in the car anymore. That spill had to be months before. It was like jelly! 🤮

    Could someone 5’9 be able to sleep comfortably? I really wanna do this for next summer, but not sure my height would be okay for it or not.

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  2 года назад

      I think so. I am 5,7" with room to spare!

  • @WaterSong144

    Do you have to take the backs of the seats out?

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  2 года назад

      Nope, I just folded them down.

  • @Misszumicat
    @Misszumicat Год назад

    • @whitmeza
      @whitmeza  Год назад

      In the passenger seat or off to one side. It was just myself.
