Car modifications for camping in an Element





Nothing truly groovy like the pop-up mods I've seen. Everything here is what can be done on the cheap. I made some window screens, pulled one rear seat to make a much more comfortable bed (and, of course, asked my mom to make the mattress - thanks mom!), and added a blind-spot mirror.








(Safety First! and all that)
