Pretty optimal conversion if you ask me. That Rock and Roll bed is my favorit. And the layout is proven and practical. Only negative is perhaps that when cooking inside and it is cold outside, there might be moisture inside if you not can ventilate the window.
What do you think, anything that can be improved?
Enjoying life on the road. Simple and happy life :-) "What better way, to do it on the ground rather than fly to a destination and go back, you never get to see the path."

Removed front passenger seat
Today I removed the front passenger seat on the car (a Kia Pride). Testing things out.
 |
| Passenger seat still in position.. |
 |
| Gone! I am thinking about making the right side of the car as a bed for the summertrip that is coming. |
 |
| If i also remove the back seat, then I just need to level the whole thing out! Pörfekt! |
 |
| I will keep the back seat a little while longer. |
 |
| Tha plan is to use something like this to make the bedframe (when the back seat is removed). Plastic boxes and some board over to level it out. Can it be more simple?! I will just lay a mattress on top of that! Thats a nice bed dont ya think? And I will be able to lay straight! :) |

What Solar Panels to buy?
Okey, so the last couple of days I have been thinking about getting ready for my next roadtripp. I need more power! I use the computer quite a lot and on my last roadtripp I could only use the computer for about 2 hours before I needet to run the car and recharge the battery. I only have one battery so far in the car. I planning on getting another one.
Ok, so back to tha solar panels. I am thinking about buying two SW25 panels (25 watts if you havent figured it out yet). They are quite affordable (and they are on sale right now, whey). They are small enough to be able to put back into the (small) car and not TAKE ALL available SPACE. I am thinking about using a roof carrier to put the panels on. And of course make it possible to remove them, when I am not using the solar panels. Put them away so the dont get stolen etc. I am also thinking about getting a charge controller, but more about that later.
I think the size is important. Atleast Until I can have them permanently on the car, they must be small enough.
Another nice foldable solar panel is this one. But it is to expensive for my taste. The Weight is 2.45 kg.

| SW25 is my choice. 643 x 282 x 35 mm.They have 18,5 (top voltage) going from them when the sun i shining. The more the better when the panels gets into some sort of shadow. |

| Folding Solar Panel, Only 315 x 315 x 35 mm when folded. But 3000 swedish crones is expensive. Thats about 500 dollars. |
