- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Max McMurdo has done it! He’s built possibly the smallest off road micro camper in the world, perfect for solo camping. With an external roll cage, roof tent, kitchen, dinning room, shower and most importantly flags.
Now he’s hitting the road to test out the camper and experience that van life while meeting some new friends.
What’s next for Max? who can say, but if you haven’t seen his ambulance camper or missed the full build check out the links below.

this is absolutely the most useless, ridiculous and offensive project ive ever seen on you tube. I LOVE IT!!! PERFECTION!!!
Phew! Was worried where that was going for a second 🎢
Ha ha thanks I think! 😂
As a smart 450, 451, 452 owner.......I love this useless, ridiculous and offensive project and I want it on my smarts so badly 😆
Fun!
Any way you’d be interested in making money in building the cages for other people? Or showing the exact dimensions on how to get it done?
The next person that tells me I'm insane for wanting to do something like this for my little Ford Connect minivan, I'm going to send them a link to this video. Absolutely brilliant!!! and how about that tailgate dining setup!!?? Just mind-blowing!!
Go for it! Let us know how you get on as well.
Have you seen the Ambulance Camper as well? More great ideas in that series 🚑
Thanks Dan good luck 🤙🏼
That would look sick Dan!
I have 2 lifted minis. A base 2013 and a 2013 jcw all4 countryman. The base one was never going to be a go fast car unless I engine swap it, so I did the next best thing. Lifted it, added a light bar up front and put mud tires on it. It’s honestly an off-roading beast
❤
🌺 The sheep had to come check out what that metal thing was, running around in their pasture, lol! 🌺
Great idea 🤔 Maybe there will be a third episode
Personally, I'd have went full on halal with it...dinner right there,and enough left over for the puma(if like here in Scotland)and the foxes...puma takes the rap 😂😂
Okay this build may litterally be one of my favs that I have seen on YT! That thing is so badass, and fully loaded. Great stuff Loved it!
WOW! thanks. Have you seen the Ambulance Camper as well? 🚑
@@SilverlineToolsTV Not yet, but DEFINITELY going to check that out. That sounds very interesting
The silliest yet coolest car camper ever. Just need a tarp setup over the tailgate for those drizzly days and you’ve got it!
Great Idea!
Looks more fun than a Land Rover! Love it, love it, love it!!
Certainly turns more heads
I have never laughed so much through a video that I thouroughly enjoyed. Love the build... every vehicle should have a tailgate like that one.!
Thanks, If you liked this one you should check out the Ambulance camper as well 🚑
Your flag holders could also double as bottle rocket launching tubes, a la Colin Furze...... LOL Also, for your 'kitchen', maybe some folding legs on the bottom to set it up behind the car and have a good height.
Great idea!
A brilliant car for a single!
There's room for a passenger... as long as you both pack light
A touch of class all around.
👨🍳💋
Hay wow! the ultimate well-designed travel itinerary.
That’s not bacon sunshine! Thank god the car camper build is fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, we love it as well!
When I thought I've seen it all! This is sweet!
Stay tuned 📺 The next project is already under way!
Wow! A Smart car I might actually consider driving
What's the matter with the original?
I would love to do.this on my 2014. Here in the states I already get a lot of attention with mine pulling a boat. If I had that setup people would loose their minds...hahaha
Waiting for offroad footage 👌
Sure there are plenty of adventures to come 🏔
You have done a great project that is well thought out. You were thinking outside the box. I lifted my Smart and added larger tires and fender flares. I did a rooftop basket that was meant to be a front carrier rack on a 4 wheeler. I used the same light bar and the same square lights on all 4 corners of the basket as you. You will be surprised at how well it goes through the woods. I did a front bull bar but haven't done a winch yet. People in SUV's looked down on me in traffic and would use 5 gallons of gas just to get around me. Now it sits higher and looks meaner and bigger. It's 6.5 feet to the top of my basket so I get noticed for the right reasons and even look down on some SUV's. I've had over 30 cars and trucks in my lifetime, but none have captured my heart like the Smart. So I know how you feel about your little project. I hope you do more with it because I will be watching you for new ideas. Thanks for a set of great videos.
Sounds awesome, send us some photos, we'd love to see! If you liked this you should check out the Ambulance Camper as well 🚑
Doesnt that add more weight? Did you upgrade the engine? How much mpg did you lose?
Absolutely bonkers but brilliant at the same time. Well done.
That's Max's sweet spot! have you checked out the Ambulance camper yet? Think you'll enjoy that as well 🚑
3:32 - Nice save there. Just make it look like you meant to do whatever you screwed up, and everyone will think you're a genius (when it happens to work out). You've obviously mastered that skill a long time ago.
Also, the tailgate banquet table made my laugh out loud. That was a superb touch. I think this build is beyond cool. All you need now is to cut the roof off the Smartcar and a hole in the tent, seal them off so you can open the tent and stand in the Smartcar , or sleep in the tent without having to leave the car, with a ceiling panel or two. Then it will be so absurd, it just might become amazing. or, even more amazing rather, as it is certainly amazing already, but it has some room in it for more absurdity.
Cut the roof? It's a convertible.
Nice little extra feature! Hopefully a bit of a surprise as well
Now that's the good livin! Great build towards an even greater result. Thanks for sharing the video. Stay safe.
Thanks 👍 Have you checked out the ambulance camper as well?
The tailgate dining table setup is utterly brilliant mate! Good on ya!
Thanks!
My favorite part of this video is that you know this is the most ridiculous and stupid project ever…but you absolutely love it! Hahahaha
Now that's a Smart idea!
I would love to travel Africa with this! Make it happen....🙏🙏🙏
hmmm 🤔
Great! At least you're thinking about it! 😃
I was in until you said that was Bacon, now I'm assuming you hit your head on that roll cage.
Absolutely love it- A retro version using a little BMW Isetta would be even more amazing to see!
WOW! that would be micro camping!
As I always say; everything automotive looks way better in Offroad-Look. Awesome build.
We agree!
It's Great cheap to run small enough to go any where I'm very impressed with this
Thanks, you going to do something similar yourself?
You've done it for sure. Someone had lol.
About time eyy, The Smart was primed for a conversion
Love the Smart Car, hate the "bacon" lol
Great little off-roader!! I'd trade my Wrangler for it 🙃
Have you seen the ambulance camper yet?
@@SilverlineToolsTV I will now lol Cheers from Montreal mon ami
Your project is inspiring! Love it!
Amazing to hear! You planning on converting something yourself?
beautiful project congratulations, this smart is ready to face the BR 230 trans amazonica.
Thanks! we'll add it to the list of adventures! 🏔
Lamb: what type of grass are you cooking?
Absolutely Awesome !!
Cheers, have you seen the ambulance conversion as well? 🚑
You would make Red Green proud!
Totally the most uplifting vid I've seen. I love you and your bonkers but adorable Smart car camper ❤❤😂
Wow, thank you!
@@SilverlineToolsTV ❤️
If you enjoyed this, you should check out our recent camping trailer build
@@SilverlineToolsTV link please. I have subscribed but I can't see it. Thx
Here you go ruclips.net/video/ywOP9CxVGh4/видео.html
Let us know what you think
Nothing wrong with this! A mighty fine camper if I ever saw one. Imagine this beauty in the zombie apocalypse! 😁
I love the vehicle, I can't get over the rubber "bacon" and cracking an egg with a knife. Hilarious!
Full camping experience!
Back when I had my truck, I would find one of these crumpled up in my wheel well at least once a month.
You need to get some collapsable leg's in the kitchen so you could pull it free of the car then just an awning to finish it off. Great project though.
That would be cool! Great idea
Dude!!🥸😲
DUDE!!
All it's missing is a toilet. Great job!
Does have one, but felt maybe we'd leave that out of the video
WOW ... add a shower tent and a bucket toilet and job done ... we all want to see upgrades haha
You forgot about the kitchen/ dining table
PERFECT 😂🛺
Thanks! if you like this you should check out the ambulance camper as well 🚑
@@SilverlineToolsTV - yeah i already did 🚐❤
Genius!! :)
Not bad eeyyy
so fun, cute, rad! u'll have more space when u lower the sink box =]
Good idea!!
Brilliant!
Thanks, have you seen the ambulance camper as well? 🚑
Love the roll cage and flood light, so rough yet so tiny. And the lifted wheel are awesome as well, it is very good for snow driving..lol
Thanks 👍
the custom tailgate dining styrofoam to replace the cabrio styrofoam *genius* looks OEM
Great little addition!
Love this!
Us to! 😍
That 'bacon' looked a bit like a pair of sandals.
Tasted great though
Absolutely Brilliant
You might have to make more of these 😃
Don't tempt him!
The camper van smart car looks awesome. The fake bacon looks horrendous though 🤢
Can't win them all, but glad you liked the important bit! 🚙
I'll stick with Danish, over the Chinese rip off 😂
out of everything weird thats going on in this video this guy opening an egg with a knife is the weirdest one for me
It was for me too! 😂
Well you could put this into production as a kit, a go anywhere smart vehicle
Too busy working on other ridiculous projects
I'd Rock it
Love the item , dining set, roll cage, stove and box,if you would do mass production , what would be the price...
Hmm 🤔 Something to think about
You should patent the plans and sell them. I love Smart 4 two cars. I would love to do what you did to my car. Totally awesome build. If you do sell plans let me know everything you did to this car especially how you made the car an off road car. Just love er what you did.♥️
Thanks, good luck converting your Smart
GEIL eine überdachte dusche :-D damit mann beim duschen nicht nass wird wenn es regnet :-D
🤔
was there any way to mount the tent so it would open above the rear of the car ? that would shelter your dining area from rain a bit...
Great idea! but think the runners only go one way unfortunately
@@SilverlineToolsTV too bad !
Sick bro !
Thanks! If you liked this you should check out some of Max's other builds on the channel
How much does it cost to fabricate an exoskeleton like that for smart? I have the latest gen, 453 and thinking maybe I should convert it too
No idea of cost but many many hours!
@@max_mcmurdoGet the jigs made...you're onto something here!
FORD THE BEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Did this dude just cut into an egg with a knife? 😂😂 nice build thoo cheers 🎉
You should see him chop onions with a spoon!
What an odd way to crack an egg when there are so many handy corners to wack it against.
Anything about the car? 🚙
There’s many corners on the car to wack the egg against lol
Well you impressed me and I’m not easily impressed, you made a fine job of that young man I really like different stuff and this is certainly up there well done a great watch 👍
High praise indeed, so glad you enjoyed it
The exoskeleton looked huge in the workshop, but fair play, on the road, it looks perfectly proportioned 👍👍
Isn’t there some regulation about tyres not projecting beyond the wheel arches? Just saying…. 😬😬😬
Cracking ingenuity! Gotta ask though, how does it drive 😶?
Not going to be setting any hot laps anytime soon 🏎
@@SilverlineToolsTV 😂
The flag mast holder will fill up with rainwater pretty quickly.
I think there is a drainage hole at the bottom
@@SilverlineToolsTV That makes sense. I want one.
I go away from the city and have a little tailgate party with my Smart ForTwo. The sound system is excellent and by opening up the tailgate the music comes out exactly where I’m sitting drinking my coffee looking at nature on a warm evening. I need that stove lol.
Very nice!
It awesome 👏when it really workout
Thanks
Cool project. Just don't take any turns with any speed cause you will end up upside down. Only go straight.
Speed was never this cars strength
That is genuinely cool, and I supposed a little useless, but when you mentioned a festival...Yea perfect application for camping comfortably short term without having to wrestle a truck. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for watching!
Cool 👍
Thanks! You converting something at the moment?
Hi,
Just wondering how much the cost for the build was, not including the car…it’s definitely inspiring.
Amazing thanks! We'll ask Max for you
Roll cage hard to cost but rest of kit about 5k?
I love how he managed to build a shower, but no curtain for privacy. LOL
Roof tent does come with an awning, we left it out so you could fully take in the Smart car in all it's glory!
He can do all that, except crack an egg with one hand. 😅
He's a man of many talents, but that is not one of his
Very smart .
... I see what you did there 👀
Nice!
Thanks! You working on a camper yourself?
@@SilverlineToolsTV yes, own Pajero Mini which is around same size as Smart. Currently designing roof top tent / camper.
Awesome, let us know how you get on, we'd love to see it!
@@SilverlineToolsTV sure, will update. Thanks for your interest.
Of course! We love to see what other people are building!
Very entertaining, thanks. I enjoy your style, and for once, a nice British accent. Nice job.
Thanks chap 🫖 If you enjoyed this you should check out the ambulance camper build! 🚑
What’d it cost all told?
I think this is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. So much so that I’ve now subscribed 😀
Thanks so much, Have you checked out the Ambulance Camper yet? 🚑
I think the winch will end up being extremely useful in the long run
Better to have it and not need it!
This is so ridiculous yet I had to watch the video. I love it!
Couldn't agree more, have you seen the Ambulance Camper yet? Just as ridiculous 🚑
It’s not a 4x4, so does that limit your off roading capabilities??
Yes but it’s so light and short wheelbase so not too bad 🙌🏼
And thank you.
No, thank you!
I've hated smart cars until now............ Coolest build ever, Maybe you need to take us out with the boys for a weekends serious off roading and camping.
Thanks, looking forward to seeing what the "Scamper" can really do off road
@@SilverlineToolsTV This is exactly what I want to see, a real off-road tour. No fluff, just dirt and mud!
Brilliant
Thanks! You working on a camper yourself?
As an owner of an "off road smart car" my biggest complaint among many issues I have here is THAT IS NOT BACON
We'd love to see your build, any photos? 📷
@@SilverlineToolsTV oh hehe, Naw mine ain't pretty. Its a zombie i use to tow little trailer around the farm, its missing body panels and there steel mesh all under the front end. Its a disaster but I love it 😆
I love this!
I’m considering getting a vehicle and really want something small but also want to go camping and be able to sleep in it, this would be perfect for me! I’m only 5’2 so I could sleep in the car. However, now I am intrigued, would the car be strong enough to have the roof tent without the roll cage?
Max's Smart is a convertible so we had to make the roll cage to support the roof tent, The hard top version would probably be able to without the roll cage, but always check with the manufacturer first. If you give it a go we'd love to know how you get on!
Someone is going to copy your beautiful idea..👈😄
Hope you don't mind..👈🤭
Go ahead! Let us know how you get on!
Nice!!😊👍
Thanks, have you checked out the ambulance camper yet? 🚑
@@SilverlineToolsTV Will do. I betcha its even better then your smart camper...🤗👍
I want one like this...absolutely fuc***g brilliant project...looks great and tent its just perfect on that little roof...
Absolutely crazy, and brilliant all at the same time. You my Friend get, not one, but two 👍👍, for that build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You my Friend get, not one, but two 👍👍, for that comment
@@SilverlineToolsTV thanks just call them again like u see them ✌

Watched the build video and now this. Epic! The dining table with the slots for silverware is beyond ❤️
Right?!
