Dog-Friendly Camping in the Volvo XC70: A Solo Overnight Trip
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 фев 2021
- I really like random camper nights like this 🏕 🚙 🐶
The Volvo XC70 is my most favorite car and is great for camping almost everywhere, thanks to its good "cross-country" ability and nice space for sleeping.
I started this channel to share my camping experiences with you and with people who also love car camping or are thinking about it. There are so many options for enjoying the night in the car.
Thank you for watching!

![Winter car camping solo with my dog [-6°C] - Volvo XC70, campfire, wood stove](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/g9eYQlo3rvc/mqdefault.jpg)
I gave my daughter an older V70XC. She’s doing this same type of camping here in the US Pacific Northwest. And she’s lovin’ it!
My son wanted my 2008 Honda Accord, so I traded him for his 2007 Volvo XC70. I love this thing! I live near Cross Country Performance, so I'm hoping to get the 2" lift with a little larger tires for more clearance off road. I hope your daughter has safe travels. Get her a Lifelite Mobile! It works great for camping.
332,793 km and still going strong. " Volvo for life" for a reason.
Hi Dinesh, I agree with you 🙂 .. still strong 🙂
You are a good man. Your best friend is awesome. Your car is great . I own volvo since 1988.
Thank you Alexander! And what model do you have now? 🙂
This almost seems like a poem lol
Now this is living. An amazing dog, an incredible car, nice food, a breathtaking view, a perfect landscape, no annoying people. Kudos I can tell you're a good man
Thank you very much Luís ;) I love these trips over the local nature. There is a lot of places to explore.
I’m so happy I found your channel!!! That is exactly what I love to do with my xc70, but lazy to film that 😁
Hello Chirill, OK so I will film it for you 😉😁 .. Thank you, have a nice day and enjoy your XC70 🙃
The brown on that Volvo looks incredible. Such an underdog.
Nice,the best volvo ever !
Volvo fan and Volvo owner.
Hi Boris, I agree with you :) .. thanks for comment ;)
I really was thinking of buying a camper van, but I'm liking the idea of the XC70, especially with th off road capability. Great video! Thank you
Awesome video. You just did what I dream of for a Long time. Just me and my dogs going for an amazing adventure in our xc70 🤗❤🐾🐾🥰
I do it often. My dog love camping a lot and XC70 is great car for these adventures 🙃
1:45 respect nach so einem roadtrip haette ich keine lust mehr vorzugehen camera hinzustellen und die aufnahme zu machen, cool das du so mit herzblut dabei bist!
I turned my XC70 into micro rv and love it. Made a little vid to show it on my channel. Perfect vehicle for trips like this.
Yep I saw your conversion, nice :)
Such a great idea. I’m about to take delivery of my XC70, 2010. This gives me inspiration as I’m about to move to the Scottish highlands!
Great video love the car and your dog. You have inspired me to get an xc70 and go car camping in the UK with my Rhodesian Ridgeback. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much Andy :) XC70 is IMO great car and specially for "cross country" activities like camping.. I wish you a lot of nice experiences with your dog ;) .. Have a nice day!
What a way to start the day....Saluting a beautiful view after a fantastic sunrise with a cup of hot fresh brewed coffee. If only everyday could be like that. Enjoyed the ride along!
Great video! I would love to do the same with my xc70 some day.
I recommend it :) There is plenty of space for good sleeping ;)
Loved the dog, loved the car and loved your style… very nice… Cheers
I love this video. I have the same car and the same dog!
I love both of them.
Great choice! 🙃
How cool is that. !!! Great video.
Thank you Steve 🙂
Just about to get an XC70, inspirational!! Love it. Thank you!
Hello, thank you. Definitely you need one :P
@@VolvoCamperLife You should do adverts for Volvo, I'm totally sold. Will be planning a trip out as soon as I get it. I'm not sure but did you do a video talking through your camping kit and what you use it for? As a complete camping novice that would be fantastic! All the best from Scotland. :-)
Looks amazing, ive got an xc70 too. I'll need to try car camping with it 👌
I recommend it to you ;)
I’m so jealous. And that beautiful companion. Solitude a great vehicle The only thing missing are the UFOs or big foot
Haha you are right but it is very calm and safe place for the Big foot :)
I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks
Thank you :) So stay tuned for next videos and have a nice day.
just picked up a 2010 xc70 - the same night slept in it at a provincial park on Lake Ontario : slept like a baby!
I know Kai, lovely outdoor bed! :D
Hi, nice travel. Two weeks ago I was in my journey with Volvo V50 and I and my boyfriend slept in our car. It was amazing!! Even was a lot of space to sleep. We stayed in camping in Poland and now I'm thinking about next travel! Regards :)
Hi Joanna, thank you for your comment. So you can visit Slovakia also next time :) a lot of nice places here. Enjoy your V50 and happy travel ;)
Nice dog you got there mate, buddy for life
I love ❤️ Volvo
Great video, your Volvo is so versatile too 😉🇸🇪
Thank you, yes it is :)
It's so cool!
Recently bought the same XC70 and I plan to be doing the same in the UK!
Congrats for your new Volvo :) I really satisfied with this XC70. I think my next car will be again XC70 only newer MY15/16
Mesmerizing
Love the jack Russell. I used to have one
Your Leo is cute, I greet him :)
I have the same kind of car and I had the same kind of dog, though she had a rough coat. :) She became 18 years old.
I love that car, I have similar setup. been car camping when on long road trips. now with 2 kids we switched to tent, band I installed multiple USB ports, car fridge, solar generator and solar panel and cannot imagine better setup. cool stuff
Hi Vin, thank you! Yep with two kids you need little bit more space. Did you think about roof tent? Also small roof tent will be great for kids I think and you still can sleep in the car.. Or bigger roof tent for all :)
Great video. Nice dog.
Thank you Andrei :)
Love my XC 70 D5 AWD ❤️💪
It's a great car ;)
Danke!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video!! I do that as well in my V70. May I ask what you do about the oxygen level in the car? I usually leave the windows ever so slightly open but then I risk getting mosquitoes in during the summer and fall.
🐕 Woof! Your Terrier is so cute! What is his name?
Of course I would call him 'Jack' - is your dog or hers? 'Safe camping!
Thanks for this amazing video. You have nice car and fantastic dog.
What is dog breed?
I love my 2000 v70 sw volvo
Nice and easy 👍
I gave thumbs up for the video. I subscribed for the happy dog! :)
Thank you Ron :)
Super, excellent
Lovely video!
Na parádu 👍
Nice films and a great idea for using this wonderful car. I'm lucky to drive the same. Tell me please what bars do you use under your roof box.
Thank you 🙃 The roof racks are by Turtle (turtlebars.com).. It was bulk action with this Northline roof box.
Your dog ❤️❤️❤️
Loved this. Have exactly same set up here in Australia. 2009 XC70 3.2. Even down to small dog that travel's with me. Weird coincidence. Only thing with my little dog, no way I'd be feeding it wet food before a night shared in an enclosed space. Question: Do you wake up with a very stinky brown face tan?
Всё гениальное просто! Классно придумал, на окна утеплитель. 😃 Респект!!
что ж, спасибо тебе :)
@@VolvoCamperLife У Меня Дома зимой - 45°🤦♂️ 😂 я себе шторы поставил. С аллиэкспресс. 😃 Но смотрятся они так себе. 😃
Wow. You will not believe it. Imagine doing the same thing you do, but on a C70 II. My dog loves going through the nature with the roof open.
Volvo 4 Life ;)
Cabrio camping would be another level :D XC70 is great for me specially for "cross country" ability :)
@@VolvoCamperLife sometimes I take a small camping tent , we go “off roading” though the forest , and then we spent a night there.
I have put little bigger springs in the car to have 2cm more of height, and maintaining the 16” oem wheels.
You cannot imagine how easily goes a fwd cabriolet in mud roads :D
Pd. Before buying the C70, I was planing to buy the XC70 as yours. My idea changed because I live next to the beach, so I take advantage of it too.
Pdd. Your dog is so cute :)
Pddd. I’m Slovak too, living in Spain :D
@@alexsa122 Super, tak sa nemusím trápiť s odpisovaním v angličtine? 🙂
Thanks, i fully understand C70 choice when you live next to the beach 🙂 We also used small tent earlier but since we have XC70 - it's a better then tent 🙃 .. next level for us will be offroad camper trailer maybe but still with combo with this car 👌🏻 .. Greetings to Spain 👋🏻
@@VolvoCamperLife To je skvelý nápad. Ale to podstatné je že si to užijete vynikajúco. Slovensko je nádherná krajina má prekrásne hory, iná kultúra a iní ľudia. Majte pekné sviatky a hlavne držte sa ;)
@@alexsa122 To áno, tento rok si budem pár modelov požičiavať na test, určite bude o tom videjko :) Ďakujem. Díky že si sa ozval ;)
Nice 👍
I bought one of these because of you, a 2012 d4 awd. :) was an upgrade from my c30.
Hi, niiiiice upgrade from C30 :) I need to tell about it to Volvo for some rewards 🙃
@@VolvoCamperLife you should, drone next for me. Haha. The insulation you put in your car, more details please?
It's a foil using as roofs insulation so you can find it in some building store :) It cost only about 30€ for 20m roll so you can made from it shades for couple of cars :)
Dont forget the passenger seat folds flat too
Watching this while solo camping in my V70. 🙃
You enjoyed it? :) Where have you been?
Brilliant Video...
Thank you :)
Nice
I would like to do that, but the car is always in the shop.
So what did you cook?, looks good.
I'm to buy an xc70 d5 soon, can't wait!!!! Currently have a C30 D2 and when my fiance and I go camping we tow a trailer with our e-bikes on and have a roof box as well.
I cross my fingers that it was early, it's a super car :) .. what model year you plan to buy?
@@VolvoCamperLife thanks for your reply. I'm planning on getting a 2013 xc70. Before they got the fully digital instrument cluster. I love the simplicity of Volvo interiors. :)
@@michaelmazani Yes, me too.. Now i have MY08 but next will be propably MY13-14 too.. same color as i have, same interior, same engine.. but little bit newer and after face lift :) These cars after 2012 may have remote start and this is one thing what i miss little bit.
@@michaelmazani I previously had an S60 with a whole black analog cluster. Two wheels, simple and black. Now I have an XC70 with a digital counter and sometimes I wish I had the old one.
@@petepo1304 ones come up on my radar and it has the digital counter. It's has all the options I want on it like BLIS, family pack with the rear booster seats, the laser guided cruise. My Mrs will be using it most as I have a lovely little C30. Really don't know what to do. The D5 engine 2010 is the same till they got discontinued, right?
Respect- great movie. Owner of a D5 Summum 2011. Love the dog.
Thank you! My is Summum 2008 and I hope my next car will be XC70 D5 Summum 2015 :) Only if i will go to the XC90 rather but i dont know at this time.. XC70 propably
Sweet ..pozdrowienia ze Szwecji
Gracias
Es un placer :)
Greetings from Canada brotha!
Thank you Piston, cheers 🙂
i've got the same Volvo XC 70 D5 2008 and I would like to show you my camp set up
Hi Gabriel, I'd love to see it 🙂
Bardzo очень хорошо!
You deserve a like. How do you keep the temperature at 12 °C during the night? Go you have an extra battery?
Hi Paul, thank you 🙂 I have no additional heater in the car. Only I have is insulation and works really good in the winter and summer too (isn't so hot in the car at the later morning). One part are foils at the windows and second part of insulation are doors and roof - soundproof materials are used. Usually I have about +10 degrees Celsius more inside in the winter 🙂
Can i ask what is the panel you connected coffee maker to ! Did you fit it ?
Great video, love the dog.
Hi, yes I add it because I don't have a original 12V socket in the trunk. You can found it as "12V car socket" for example on Aliexpress. I don't like these non-original solutions but it is cheap and functional and I need one in the back. I added one 15A fuse to the empty position in fuse box and connect it to the permanent 12V cable. It gives about 100W nicely :)
how do you keep the car warm?
Nice! I have a xc90 and I am looking for videos of car camping, I find yours! Really inspiring. But I have a question, do you lock car at night? Do you leave your window open a little bit for air when sleep? Thanks!
Hi Alisa, thank you! First answer is yes, especially when I am also with my wife - for her better feeling :) When I am alone with my dog so no in most cases. When is very cold outside and I using the windows insulation so I keep windows closed. Then I can reach up to 10 degrees Celsius difference between outside and inside temperature. If is not so cold I open it little bit. You can breathe all night with closed windows but CO2 will rise to the pretty high level. Its better with small ventilation. I recomend cover opened window with something in case start the rain at night ;)
Where is that place pls. Going east with my volvo soon.
Супер!
Благодаря ти :)
When i see 8.3 L/100 km I'm thankful I drive the v70 d2 hahaha
Last road trip, loaded up with gear, AC on, roof box and bikes it got 5.4 L/100 km
Yep consumption is not the best, usually I have about 9l/100km also without roof box and bikes but I'm OK with that due to age and power of the car. I have also chip to the 160kW, AT, AWD.. thirsty things :D
@@VolvoCamperLifeit's worth it if it can go offroad and go into the woods. The ground clearence on my v70 is nothing. A Coke can laying on its side on the road would probably hit my drain pan, hahaha
10:39 tell me please what cool thing is that!
Hi! what material do you use for the window covers? i asume that you cut them to size yourself? thanks =)
Hi Johan, I used the insulation foil using for insulate houses roofs. You can buy it somewhere in buildings material shop and cut by the windows ;)
3:30 selfcuted? normal iso mates?
Hey what's brand is phone holder on your dash. I have almost twin car of yours :)
Hi 🙂 .. It's a iOttie iTap Wireless 2 Vent Mount. I want made custom mount instead of vent mount but hold surprisingly good 🙂
😊😊😊👌👌👌🤜🤛
volvo is the new lambo
i have a ridgeback ( 50kg) its a litte btit closer ;.-)
cool video! im getting a 2007 volvo v70 soon. How many miles to the gallon does your car do? thanks :-)
Hi, thank you :) My XC70 is from 2007 too, MY08.. fuel consumption of these cars hardly depends on 3 things: engine, transmission (manual/automatic) and if it FWD or AWD.. my conbination is version D5 (2,4 136kW) with AT and AWD and real combined fuel consumption is about 9-10l/100km... if you will have D5 with MT and FWD so about 6,5-7l/100km easily. On full tank its about 750km in my case.. if i convert 9l/100km to the mpg so its about 26mpg ;)
@@VolvoCamperLife Thanks a million for all the detail!
This thermo for your windows you made yourself? or can be buy somewhere?
Hi Peter, it's a roof insolation for houses and I cut it by the windows 🙂 .. so search somewhere in the building materials 😉
Hi! Is it enough leg space if you lay like that? I have xc70 p2, my height is 1.76 and I dont have enough space for my heels when I lie in the same way in the trunk, therefoer i have to lie diagonally)
Its interesting if xc70 p3 have more space in trunk?
Hi, I can't compare it but maybe it's the same. I'm 187cm height and I have no problem there. Front seats must be moved forward and then 200cm long sleeping pad fits nice. I have inflatable pad so maybe my head exceeds the rear folded seats and with this setup I have enough space. But yes, when I sleep without my wife diagonally is also option 🙂
same here, i'm 1.93 and i can barely sleep diagonally in my p2 v70. The flat loading length (basically the length where you can sleep) of a p2 is 1,84 mtr and for a p3 (like this xc70) it is 1.87 mtr. If you want to be able to lay flat, you'll need to extend the length with a plateau towards the front of the car (extend it over the rear passenger footwells) with a home made solution.
Nice thing about this is it can haul over 3k lbs, so if you're livin' solo and need to move, you can haul all your belongings in a trailer. Cheap!
Yes we have tried also some trailers, thinking about smaller cargo trailer vs. teardrop also with sleep option :)
Damn that XC70 is a beauty but it's thirsty: almost 9L / 100 km! Is it diesel or petrol?
Yep, you are right. It's a D5 (diesel). Newer D5's consum about 1 liter fewer but this model combo with AT and AWD is about 9l/100km.
@@VolvoCamperLife thanks for answering and have a nice day.
Zdravím, můžu se zeptat co používáte za izolaci do oken? A má to vůbec izolační funkci? Nebo spíše ne?
Díky za odpověď :)
Zdravím, vystrihol som si to z fólie čo sa používa na izoláciu striech domov, tuším sa to volá Bifol.. Funguje to prekvapivo dobre, s fóliami v zime dosiahnem +6 stupňov oproti vonkajšej teplote keď spím v aute sám, alebo okolo +11 keď som aj s manželkou. Ešte lepšie v lete keď praží ráno slnko, nevyhreje to interiér. Treba dodať že mám izolovanú aj karosériu.
@@VolvoCamperLife Boží, díky za info!
@@SlaninAcz Nie je zač :)
what do you do if it gets stuck in mudd?
whats the room size after the driver seat to the end please?
Hi, it hasn't happened to me yet :)
About 195cm when seat is at normal position and about 215cm when is moved to the front ;)
@@VolvoCamperLife great room space, if you hasnt got stuck in mudd yet be careful, the area you filmed in have high stucking risk
i watched youtube vidoes about tying a wood rod with the tier, check it out before its too late 😆 also stuff called mudd claws.
I have a 70. Where do you get the window shades?
Hello! I made the windows covers at home using foil that is typically used for roof insulation in houses. You can purchase this material at some building materials shops. The foil is very lightweight, so it can be easily held up on windows without any additional support. When cutting the foil, I made the shape few milimeters larger than the window to ensure a proper fit ;)
@@VolvoCamperLife thank you so much for this. I’ll give it a go. Excellent. 🙏🏻
заглушки на окна сам делал? или продаются такие?
Я сам их сделал. Это изоляционная пленка, которая используется для утепления крыш домов. Только вырезано из окон. Он легкий и хорошо держится :)
@@VolvoCamperLife супер
I am crazy to know your camara details
Hi, this video was filmed on iPhone 11 Pro 😉
Didn't you have webasto in your car?

Hi Ismail, no heating.. I using only the insulation - it gives about +10°C in the car in winter when we sleep inside.
What breed is your dog? Greetings
Hi Carlos, it's a Jack Russell Terrier :)
Paradne video ;) jazdievas aj do zahranicia takto ?

Exactly 🙂
Jesus bro how much camping equipment do you need to sleep in your car.
I have it all packed and ready it doesn't matter for how many days/nights I go 😉
I love to hate on people camping. What a waste! It always amazes me when I see people cooking full meals outdoors using brand new everything.
