Don't really see the appeal but there are some campers on the facebook groups. If you don't want to hack the interior up then you're probably just going to throw a mattress or airbed in the back. Curtains are easy to make or some vinyl tint.
Never seen anyone who lives in their Volvo vanlife style. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

It's a bit cramped with children and dogs. !!

If you've got the roof rails then there is no reason why you can't have a roof tent or a roll-out awning for daytime use ( cooking and chilling ) and then just sleep in the car at night if the weather goes a bit crap..
I've kipped in my car many times after a night on the town, it's surprisingly comfy ![]() Like you say it's not going to be a full time camper, just an escape pod

Think I'll just stick with living in a house and booking into a nice hotel when I decide to go away somewhere !!
Sleeping cramped up in a car along with socks filled with cat litter isn't really rocking it for me ![]() ![]()

This might be the perfect solution. Curtains included. Not sure if it can accomodate two persons though...

This thought came to my head. When I bought mine there was a hearse for sale in Spain. The thing had close to 1M km on the clock. I think it was 870k. Blue, not black, which was odd.
