#suvcamping #carcamping

Hey guys! I thought I would share how we turned our 2005 Honda CRV into a mini camper with a DIY bed platform. This saves a lot of money while out while traveling. Though it's not perfect as we can't sit up or get dressed in the car, it works for just getting a good nights rest.

InInspirational video we based our build from @feliciafullwood
