Box into camper
Some ideas for a BOV perhaps. Personally I'd rather just shove everything in there ha.

I did something similar years ago in the back of a Jimny In an 850x650x900mm box (plus down the sides in between the unit and the car) we've managed to fit... Recovery gear Tirfor winch Steel cable 30m plasma extension cable Equalizing strap Tree protector Bow shackles Snatch block Tools Small tool kit Electric rattle gun Air line for compressor Extension air line Wheel chocks Folding shovel Scissor jack Bottle jack Jacking plate Puncture repair kit Power 60w solar panel Regulator 100AH 12v deep cycle battery 300w inverter Amp and Volt panel meters 12v outlets 240v outlet Camping gear 2-man tent Rear shelter canopy 2 x self-inflating mattresses 2 x folding chairs Table Bag of clothes Bedding Towels Cooking 1-burner cook top 5 x spare gas bottles Crockery/cutlery/pans etc Food for a week or so Misc 2 x pairs of walking boots Fire extinguisher Fold out table between seats at the front Fold out table at the rear Tie-down loops to secure top loads Collapsible bucket Collapsible bowl Garbage bags Rope 60-litre water tank 30-litre Waeco drawer fridge And there's still plenty of room on top of the unit for shopping, backpacks, jerry cans, gas bottles etc according to the needs of the day. This was in my pre-prepping days, but I've always liked my vehicles to be prepared for most things.

I remember seeing those (or similar) photos before, Gray. You certainly have skills across a wide range of fields.

I may have posted them here before, can't remember. I've always preferred to be a Jack of many trades, mostly because I get bored doing the same thing I think

That's a great set up Grey. You're a master of mobile living for sure. That list is helpful in terms of what is necessary for such living.
I'm looking into this for ideas so that I can convert my every day car into an emergency sleeping location/easy camper/BOV. My trouble is my car is a hatchback and undeniably small, perhaps too small. I'm probably delusional, though as usual, I think I can come up with something that'll work with a bit of adjustment.

Good effort to get all that into a Jimny, impressive

I've become an expert in fitting 10 pounds of crap into a 5-pound bag Shiney, the Jimnys are very small cars as well, but I admit that the square shape makes a big difference, a hatchback would be an even bigger challenge.
