The Honda CR-V is a sporty compact SUV that comes with a range of new features to make drivers and passengers more comfortable, one reason why it’s perfect for your next camping trip in the Asheville area. Features that make driving comfortable and convenient include available leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and custom storage, thanks to an adjustable parcel shelf. With all of these great features, why not try a CR-V camper conversion? You can enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort or style.
Start your vehicle conversion by giving your CR-V a thorough cleaning. Remove any wrappers, dirt, and other detritus that accumulates as you drive. Next, you’ll want to either fold the seats down or remove the seats entirely. Many campers simply use a socket wrench and some other basic tools to take out the back seats, creating a roomy atmosphere that’s perfect for camping.
In order to make the CR-V an efficient car camper, you’ll need to create a sleeping platform that also allows for storage space. Plywood and spare lumber from any Hendersonville-area hardware store work well, especially if you use 4×4 beams as support for your plywood platform. You can add carpet and other materials to the plywood to make the platform more comfortable for sleeping (this also helps reduce condensation).
You can always add amenities now that you have the basics. You’ll need proper bedding, like foam mattresses and sleeping bags. You’ll also want to add window coverings, such as curtains or insulation like Reflectix. If you want to keep your windows open, mosquito netting is a must. Plus, you need a system for the under-bed storage so you can easily get out cooking supplies and other necessities without unpacking the entire vehicle.
While some people prefer camping with a tent, a CR-V camper may be a new way to experience the great outdoors. At Apple Tree Honda near Johnson City, you can browse our selection of Honda CR-V colors and compare it to the Subaru Outback to see why it might be a convenient choice for your next camping trip. Even if you don’t convert your SUV to a camper, it still works just as well for carrying camping equipment and supplies. Browse our new Honda CR-V inventory today!
