A few things I didn't mention: I have window coverings for all the windows and I store them under the bed when not in use. My fire extinguisher is under my front passenger seat.
That's good to know abot the fir extinguisher as I was a career Firefighter. I need to buy an extinguisher as I should know better ... LOL
Can you tell me what window coverings you are using?
My Mazda CX5 is set up like yours! I never saw yours until tonight. Great minds think alike! I’m binge watching your videos. I’ve been so depressed not having a van but you and the ladies have given me hope. I’m in WA State. Do u guys ever come this way? I would love to join a meet up. I’m alone a lot so I want to meet others. Please advise. Thank you so much! Blessings!
A lot of the gals have been up that way. We were just talking about doing the square. Florida to California to Washington to Maine and back to Florida - next year. April/May 2025 I would love to have a few meetups - definitely one around Oregon/Washington. Make sure you're a member of the Facebook Page: Butterfly Tribe Women Who Camp - and keep an eye out for meetups in your area!! I know there is one listed for Washington State and Alaska! (email if you have any questions, outonalimbwithkym@gmail.com)
Thank ❤ you Kym for sharing such a thorough tour of your SUV. I love how well organized and prepared you are for many different scenarios that you may encounter. I learned a LOT from you, Kym. 😊❤
I’ve recently subscribed and look forward to seeing the rest of your videos and any new upcoming ones.
Wishing you safety and all your adventures.😊❤
You are so welcome! And thank you so much!! Welcome to my channel!!! My SUV has changed a lot, and I'll be doing an updated tour soon. I really appreciate your comments - means so much to me!!! 🩷💙💛
nice neat set up
I'm glad you like it. Thank you! It has changed some. I'm planning on doing another tour to show the changes and updates!!
Yay, tour time, my favorite time!!!! Love how organized everything is and how thoughtfully everything is placed. It makes such a big difference having that seat wide open like that - looks so spacious still! Great job Kym!!
Yay! Thank you! Appreciate it very much!! Thanks so much for watching, Heather!
Thanks for sharing. I love your setup. You are able to fit a lot of stuff in your vehicle and still have room to get around. You have a lot of clever ideas.😊
Awe, thanks!!! I appreciate your comments so much. ❤️ 😍
Not only do I love your set up, I love how many weapons you have girl ! You can never be too safe 💪
THANK YOU! I need more weapons. I can't find half of them!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym I only have one pocket knife that I hang within reach every night , but you made me realize I need some hidden backups to prepare for the worst ! The demonstration with your scissors on the passenger door make me cackle
Great tour of The Wanda 😊 have you seen the bug zapper racquets? Could help with mozzies
Thanks! I've seen the rackets. Do they really work? I feel like I'd be swinging the racket the entire time I'm at camp. LOL I think I may have to invest in one of those big lanterns that keeps them away. I believe they use cells. Or something like that. SHEESH! Little bastards are gonna eat me alive.
Yes, they work if you have a good aim.
Thanks for the video.
💙
Great set up‼️
Glad you like it. Thanks!
Hey Kym, can you give me the link to that table your frig is on ? I tried something similar but the legs were wonky on it so back it went . Thanks, I’m still out fitting my 2010 Crv for me and the dog, probably going to remove the passenger seat for her sleeping area.
This is my Amazon Associate link, meaning I get a little commission - but honestly, I think it's expensive. I don't remember paying that much. It's well worth it, but I bought it last year . . . mine is the 2-feet 3 heights one. (I'd love to see pics of your "build" when you're done.) amzn.to/3TfKAGN
@@OutonaLimbwithKym thanks for the link, I think it’s the same table I just sent back ! I paid around 44.00, I’d love to show you my handy work 😀 but I have no idea how to send or attach to you . Thanks for answering so quick, I enjoy your videos and your style 😁.
do you cook in there
I have used my electric DASH products, but I never use propane/butane inside the vehicle.
You're amazing. Very impressive
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your words very much!!! 💙
Oh My! I realize now that my Nissan Rogue is actually big enough for car camping. So many great ideas to incorporate. Even though I actually RV travel full time with my husband there are times it would be nice to join van life meet ups overnight or longer. I left Lulu and Barbs January meet up on Monday after being a day visitor wishing I could stay! It was a pleasure to meet you. I hope you get one of the Hover Air drones like I showed you. You would have a blast incorporating that kind of footage into your videos. Hope we meet again but until them I'm a new subscriber ♥️
I really wish you could have stayed the whole time. I fell in love with your drone!!! I'm going to start saving for it! I loved it! Your Rogue is the perfect size, especially for short trips. And it'll be YOUR space only, not your hubbies!! Have him park at a RV campground and join us more often!!! Thank you so much for subscribing!!! Hope to see you again!!!
I always love seeing everyone’s setup, and there’s usually at least one unique idea! I liked yours about rolling the mattress to convert to a desk.
Thanks so much, Mika!!!! Setups and build videos are my favorite, too.
I love to see the fact that you have two jackerys with you. Just one can always go out. And it’s great that you can keep it upfront to charge where the cigarette lighter is or used to be.
I seriously need another!!! One runs my fridge!! I need one now to run an electric blanket!!!
Compact diaper pail, great idea! Having cubbies in the console sides, I've never seen that before, awesome!
Glad you liked it! I try to make use of every inch of space. Diaper pail is a godsend!
And my bed turns into a desk! Wow! So simple, love it.
Thank you!!! Everyone needs a desk in their SUV. LOL!!
Where did you get your net from
Amazon. BTW, be careful. This morning I opened my sunroof and forgot I had a dozen plastic bags up there. They all flew out ... all over I-95. Lol
I like the center console in your 2014 much more than the one in my 2016. I don't have the little cubbies on the bottom. Thanks for the tour of your setup. You have given me a couple of ideas to improve my camping setup. I have to be more frugal with gear because I have a dog, and I need a bigger sleeping platform because of the dog and the fact that I am 6'1" and 300 pounds.
I do wish my bed was wider. I really miss being able to toss and turn easily. My knee hits my fridge. I drop pillows. And definitely with a dog you need more room. And your height!!!! Are you sleeping on the passenger side? Did you take out the front seat???
@@OutonaLimbwithKym I do sleep on the passenger side. I just push the passenger seat forward and slide out another board for my head. I have a tri-fold twin mattress that I cut a chunk out on the drivers side so I don't have to move the drivers set. That way I can just jump into the drivers seat if I have to leave a stealth camping site fast.
Thanks for sharing your camper with us, it’s simple but it works.
Thank you. I've since changed a lot of things, and hopefully will have an updated tour out shortly. Thanks again!
I even took notes and my watch again!!!!!
Oh, that's awesome! 💙
So many good ideas! My mind is really working 😊
Perfect! I do the same thing. After any tour, I go back to my SUV, and start changing stuff around! LOL!
Love your conversion! Big question about the foldable saw you have, i have a same one, I had opened it to use it, but dont know how to close it. I press the button, but it wont budge..... maybe there is a secret way to close it? Have a blessed day!
THANK YOU! I just found the saw!!!!! My SUV is a mess! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! I press the button and it opens up fully. I hear a click when it is secure. When it's time to close, I push back in the black button and it easily goes back into the handle. Yours may be broken. I hate that!!! May wanna get rid of it. Those blades scare me!!!!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Thank you for your reply. The thing is it was new! And not going to get rid of it. It saws perfectly. So put it in an old sock (loll 🙈) to protect the blades. Cause mine didnt come with a protectie case. Have a blessed day! 🌻
@@BibiProvenceBBSmoothMusic Mine didn't come with a protective case either. And I don't blame you . . . why get rid of a perfectly good saw. Sock? LOL. Perfect!!!!
Thank you for being more detailed about how you address the need to go in the middle of the night. As an older female contemplating doing this I was worried about how to handle that situation.
You are so welcome! And it keeps getting easier each time. Just be prepared for the mistakes!!! They will happen!!
This is awesome!! Very well done!
Thank you! Cheers! 💙🩷
Love it! I need help with wooden part!
How can I help you? The bed frame???
Lovely car 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
This is such a great build! The desk is genius, great use of the space when you're not sleeping. I've been watching YT vids of vanlife for five years and I think this is one of the best SUV builds I have ever seen. Well done!
Thank you so much!!! Your words mean a lot!! After two years, it's still holding up and has been working great!!! A few changes - I'll need to do an update tour soon!!!! Thanks again!!!
Do you get a commission on the links for the stuff on Amazon cause I put something in my cart that you have with a link and I just want to make sure you would get commission I might not buy it right away but I know that I can back out of it and re click on your link so you could still get their commission cause you got to do it within 24 hours
Thanks for this video
Awe, thanks! Yes, I do get a commission. A very small one, but it does add up. I really appreciate it! Thank you for checking with me!!! 💙💙
You're welcome 😀 I also found out if I go through one of your links and say I dont buy that particular product you still can get a small commission on a different product that i buy as long as I enter through one of your links. 😀
@@HumAnimalTammy Yes! I did know all the rules about it, but I keep forgetting. Most of my friends purchase and then remember later. It's so hard to remember to click the link though. I order stuff through my friend's link and I hate when I forget!! THANK YOU TAMMY!!!!
I love all your arsenal lol
Aw, thanks. I'm in the process of making a new SUV tour . . . I've changed quite a bit. 🗡️
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤
😎🫤😆😎🫤😆😎🫤😆
This looks great! You have an excellent use of space! I like the cup that holds your necessities and the visor called the police sign. Good ideas.
Thanks so much! 😊 Really appreciate you watching!!!!
Im pretty sure everyone has a junk drawer! Some neat ideas here, especially the safety features which are a must! The rainy day supplies i also liked. Theres simply no wasted space which is a massive plus. Well done on another great watch and thanks for the useful tour. Love from across that big old pond :):):)
Always love seeing your comments!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts with me. xoxo
WOW! That's a lot of stuff in a small space! Very impressive.👍☺️
Thanks, Anna!! Appreciate your support! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas, for a small SUV.... I have a Jeep... Tryna figure out how to transform it.... Stay safe thanks for sharing nice video.
You are so welcome. It's so much fun to try to figure out how you're going to sleep in. Let me know what you come up with.
Does your ceilng net interfere with your rear vision on the mirror?
Not at all. I keep it tightened, but . . . I made the mistake of storing a dozen plastic bags above my head and I opened the sunroof a few days ago while driving on the highway going 75mph. Not good. They all flew right out the sunroof.
I love your setup! I also have a 2014 CR-V and it is my camper. I have the same cooler too. But I use it as a cooler. I have wanted to get another one for dry goods because I plan on staying in Bear country and it would be perfect for dry storage. The size and price is right especially compared to bear canisters and bags. Also liked seeing your "attic" space. I have been thinking of getting a net for that purpose but didn't know if I'd like it. Seeing yours, I do like it. I put one in my Amazon Cart. Thanks for sharing!!
THANK YOU!!! My attic started to loosen up, and I just had to retighten it. It's so worth having it. I throw my menus up there, too. Bear country scares me!! So many bear tragedies in the news lately. Have you joined the Facebook group - SUV/Car Living & Camping Women Only - It's a great group - a lot of CRV's!! Great group of women!!!!
Do you have a place for a chemical toilet? For the night needs?😉
I have a potty station with everything that I need. And if I get "the call" I have a portable potty that I can set up on my back passenger seat. Emergency's only though. I also have a tent that I put up that I turn into an outdoor bathroom, if I'm at a camping spot for a longer amount of days.
Cool Setup! I'm catching up on your vids..like em....😄
Oh, awesome! I'm so glad to have you here!!!!
This was just - AMAZING. BTW, thanks for the bags on I-95. I was running low. 😂
LMAO!!!!
Lov your tour! New subscriber. Everything you have has a purpose and place
Thank you! I'm so glad you're here. 💙
Hi I'm just starting to do a camping crv. What is your must haves when starting out? TY
Window coverings! Comfortable bed. Small power source to charge phone and USB fans. Food!!! Water!!! And then go from there. Just start! My first trip out was a disaster. Every trip after improved. Get out there!!
Very nice. I wished u would have shown if u 17:15 strap down refrigerator
I was a newbie. I have a different setup now, and my fridge is always strapped down by bungie cords.
You sure that wasn’t a cookie in that cubby hole right of driver seat, 😹🍪
Twizzlers, maybe? I do like a good stash of snacks!🍭
Hello - Greetings from India, I came across your channel & really impressed the way you have organized the things in your car, enjoyed watching 😀 All the best, Stay safe & look forward for many more episodes from your channel 👍
Thank you so much!! You are so far away!! 💙I really appreciate your kind words! And thank you for watching. - K
Well done I’m looking for a CRV now , has finding a safe place to park been hard?
So far, I've had really great luck. You can't go wrong with Flying J, Love's, and Cracker Barrell. Those are my top three. Most states have BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land you can park for free - some states have it, but it's called something different. As long as you call and get a permit you can stay. And of course then there are those places you risk, but everyone still does it - hospital parking lots, hotel parking lots, Wal-Mart, Lowe's, apartment complexes . . . There are so many options out there!
Impressive!! Love your set up… Lots of great ideas 🤗 Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! 😊I appreciate you watching and letting me know!!!!
I have a Buick which about the same size as yours… I don’t have a platform tho which I need . I love your set up it’s so cozy and cute. You go girl
Thank you!! I fell asleep in my front passenger seat yesterday. I'm wondering if I even need my bed anymore. LOL
What a great setup!! Do you have anything to put over the windows if you have them open at night? To keep bugs out? Or do you use the netting from the sunroof?
Thank you. Yes, I have mesh window socks. They are awesome. The mosquitoes still find their way in though.
I’m in the process of converting my 2014 CRV. Got a lot of good ideas from your video. I initially started with a 31” wide mattress but it took up nearly the entire back even with seats out. I just layer it flat without under bed storage but am going to change that. Out of curiosity, how wide is the wood that your bed is on?
I'm actually posting a video Thursday early evening on just the bed platform. I will be including measurements. The actual width of the bed is 2 feet. I wish it were 6" wider, but I still do okay sleeping.
@@OutonaLimbwithKym m
Love how you have everything here & there, easily accessible for you, no matter where you are on the CRV. Another great video! 💗🤩
Thanks so much! I'm almost done. I think I can hit the road for long periods of time now. Instead of just a few days camping here and there. I only need solar panels, but I can still go without them. So excited to be so close!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym So happy for you 💗😃
I saw one of your comments on another channel and asked you to show your suv camper and you sent me to your YT channel . Thank you as I am thinking of turning one of my 2 CRV'S into a camping SUV. Your video is so very helpful. Thank you. Be safe and God Bless you!
If you need any help, pictures or advice . . . Please feel free to email me. I would love to help. It's one of the best things I've ever done. ❤️
@@OutonaLimbwithKym I definitely will when I run into a problem or just want a second opinion. TY for your generosity and support to those who are new to the camping out of their SUV's. Thinking we all need all the help we can get.
i like your build, it is clever and practical
Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks for the awesome tour! I am considering some of these interior mods.
Would love to see your modifications. I think Van/SUV tours are the best to watch!
Good idea about holding the old mattress with those straps! What are the straps that you use? I really like that idea because I’m always rolling my mattress up and trying to stuff it backwards and it keeps falling down
A friend gave them to me. They're the ones that Uhaul uses when you rent a truck. Heavy duty, but I'm pretty sure you can even use a rope . . . I was always worried that the bed would come falling down on top of my computer. I use three, but could probably just use one.
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Yeah thanks, I’m gonna get some,, probably not so heavy duty but two at least. Thanks for the idea!
Ses top bien équipé pour le voyage
Merci d'avoir regardé
Great set-up 👍 Very organized and well thought out.
Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching & commenting!! I really appreciate it.
Loved the diaper pail because I’m 71 yrs old and need to know where to put the number 2 bags. Also all ur info is informative. Thank u
Glad it was helpful! And the pail is awesome as long as you don't pinch your fingers shoving the bag inside. And ya never know when a friend may knock on your door . . . it's good to have the stuff contained!! LOL!!
I enjoyed your video. 🍿
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much!!!
Wow! You have so much in there, so organized. Great job!
Thank you!! 😊 Appreciate you watching!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Love your videos!
Thanks Kym!
You are so welcome!!!!!!
Love your bedding!
Thanks so much. 💙💙❤❤
Tks for posting.😀
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!! 💙
The set up looks OK but I don't understand why bloggers don't hoover their cars first and get rid of all those scuffs on the plastic. A camp bed would work as well as having all that wood in the car for the platform. Also, I prefer a set up that during the day when you park up doesn't scream I'm living in my car and I have valuables in here!
Actually, while I was watching it . . . I was thinking the same thing. It needed another vacuum, clearly!! I'm covering some of the scuffs with stickers now. I love my bed. I tried a cot and the sound of the cot drove me crazy. I'm an active sleeper, flipping from side to side all night, and the platform is very quiet. I appreciate your feedback. I'm thinking about tinted windows.
Wow you sure cram a lot of stuff in there. Liked seeing your set up. Enjoy the rest of the week.
Thanks, you too! Always love hearing from you! Have a great week!
Great ideas!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I love it

Your videos are helpful. I'm converting 2014 CR-V currently, to full-time living use. I'm selling my 26' Winnebago Brave. Thus, extreme downsizing. Once all completed, I'm heading to Mexico and beyond. RV is not suitable for where I want to go. I may cheat and buy a teardrop or enclosed trailer. Haven't decided. Weight is always the concern. Thanks. Smile & Be Brave!
Thanks!! You really are downsizing!!! Do you follow Brooke & Pippa? She just purchased an older popup camper and apparently her CRV can pull it. The older popups weigh around 1,200. I like the idea of a teardrop, too. I really like the idea of being able to wake up suddenly and hop in the drivers seat and haul butt.
@@OutonaLimbwithKym I'm familiar with Pippi but not the other person. An empty teardrop weight around 800-900 pounds. My CR-V has a tongue weight of 350 and max tow load of 1500 pounds. I'm waffling between a teardrop or enclosed cargo trailer. Most likely going with cargo trailer 4x6. I plan on sleeping in CR-V but I need more storage for toys. Smile & be brave :)
@@RVLady No, not Pippi. Brooke & Pippa - Pippa is her dog. LOL Yeah, my CRV can only pull 1500 pounds. I dream about a van, but not sure it's worth it. It will cost so much. And Honda!! What a reliable SUV!!!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym there's a Pippi. She made videos mostly in repairs and belly dancing. No dog as I recall. There are many ppl/women who are solo travelers making vids now. Back in the day, not that many. Lots of men making videos. Right now I'm looking at vids of CR-V full timers. Getting ideas. I've got a few months until I'm on the road again. 😊 & Be brave.
Super chévere tu van❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I learned a new word today!!! chevere !!
