  • My car to camper conversion! Me and my dad converted my Renault Grand Scenic family car into a mini camper van! Neither of us had a clew about DIY or camper conversions so this was an interesting project. Hoping to go on some amazing adventures with you guys now I have a mini camper van! #VanLife #CarCamping #MicroCamper

    Hi Brendan, just stumbled across your video and it's fantastic! I've always wanted a van but haven't yet had the funds, always away with my dogs but can't always stay certain places, so this is the next best thing! You and your Dad are good fun too.

      That's great, thanks for watching 🙂. I was in the same boat as you with not having the funds for a van but I'm glad was able to make this micro car camper to feed my thirst for adventure 🙂. Hope you enjoy the future videos and enjoy exploring!

    Hi Brendan, love watching your videos. Brilliant. You are an inspiration 🤩 I have a Renault Grand Scenic 2014. I want to make a bed base the same. What are the measurements and bed leg sizes please. Also what wood are you using and thickness. Thanks for all you do keep doing it 😊

    • @BrendanExplores
      @BrendanExplores  Год назад +1

      Hey Tina! Great to hear your building a car camper 🙂. Is your car the newer shape? If so you may need a slightly different design 👍. I do actually have a build video on my channel if that helps 👍

    Nice one :) Maybe the hinges would have been better underneath rather than on top? :D I always thought to myself, If ever I end up homeless I'd sleep in the back of a car.

    • @BrendanExplores
      @BrendanExplores  2 года назад

      Cheers 🙂 the design of the bed has been made so it can fold on itself to sit in the back 👍. It's a great solution for an overnight get away into nature

      Hey 👋🙂 I got the wood from b&q and have no idea what wood it is 😂 sorry about that. It cost around £40 if that helps? And all the links to what I use for car camping, including the mattress are in the description 👍 hope it helps 😁

    great to see the van conversion. wondered if you had problems with the alarm or how you switched it off at night or just didnt lock the door on a night ?. Also what size was your mattress topper ?

    • @BrendanExplores
      @BrendanExplores  2 года назад +2

      Cheers buddy and I have to lock the car from the inside by leaning over into the drivers area instead of using the key fob which sets the alarm and my topper is a full double 🙂. Perfect fit 👍
