This is a how to video showing how I convert a small compact hatchback car into a campervan for sleeping / living in your car. This method is simple to construct using basic materials, plywood and some old carpet. Simple tools were used in the construction process including, a saw, and a power drill to make the slots

The budget for the build was $20, and materials were purchased from the local recycling centre. You can buy the materials new if you like.

Materials: - 20mm construction ply, 1 sheet
- some old carpet (optional: helps protect inside of vehicle)
Tools: tape measure https://amzn.to/3rg36lN
- pencil or pen
- saw https://amzn.to/2TdLWIP
- drill https://amzn.to/3Bku3tg

The finished product is a lightweight, strong platform to sleep on in your car, that can be easily removed and stored.

No need to remove the passenger seats or other parts of the vehicle. car shown is a Nissan Tiida, use whatever car you like.
