What are the options for converting a sedan into a camper?
1 Answers
Here are some sedan conversion options: 1. Fold down the front seats and place boards to create a bed: When the front seats are folded down, there is usually a curvature in the seatbacks. To address this, some people place boards on the seats to form a flat sleeping surface. Others simply use blankets or cushions to fill the gaps and level the surface for sleeping. The advantage of this method is that it doesn't interfere with trunk storage, but the downside is the uneven seating surface—unless you replace the front seats with RV-style seats. 2. Place an inflatable mattress in the rear seat area: Utilizing the legroom space in the rear seats, when flattened, it becomes a medium-sized bed suitable for travelers of average height. The benefits include quick setup, no impact on trunk storage, and the ability to drive off at any time. The drawback is limited legroom and restricted movement on the bed, making it more suitable for women or shorter individuals, particularly those from southern regions. 3. Fold down the rear seats to connect with the trunk, forming a continuous bed: Due to the sedan's smaller trunk compared to an SUV's, sleeping requires positioning the head toward the front of the car and extending the feet into the trunk. Folding the rear seats connects the cabin and trunk into one space. Although the trunk height is low, placing the feet inside poses no issue.
