Convert Any Honda Civic To A Comfortable Camper

Adventurous Honda Civic owners can transform their vehicle into the perfect camping vessel with just a few short steps and minimal money spent (depending on how much camping gear they already own). There’s a whole world to be seen, and all you need is a Honda Civic and a few pieces of equipment in Detroit.

To convert your Honda Civic into a comfortable sleeper with everything you need to cook and stay warm, follow the steps listed below:

• Fold the driver and passenger seats forward, and collapse the back seats. If you don’t already have a sleeping mat or inflatable pad, invest in one.
• For maximum comfort, campers can take the time to create a wooden platform to place in the trunk and create a more even sleeping surface. They can also use an extra sleeping pad to do the trick.
• Insert your camping mattress, blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, and lanterns.
• Sleep tight.

Pro Tip: Sleeping bags are often rated at the temperature at which they can keep people warm. A bag rated 10 degrees cooler than the expected low temperature should typically do the trick.

Drivers can also use their Honda Civic to erect a mobile kitchen. We recommend bringing or purchasing a small table, a tray, a camping stove, and a box full of utensils and plates. Set up your kitchen as follows:

• Open the trunk and set up a small tray to protect your bedding from your cooking accessories. Maybe play some music through a portable speaker here too.
• Use the purchased table to set up your stove and turn it on.
• Have a seat on your cooler while you watch dinner cook, and enjoy all that nature offers.
