Car Camping

 

What is Car Camping?

Simply put Sleeping in a vehicle. Car camping - Park and sleep - Keep your $50 bucks. With some modifications any vehicle can become your very own money saving accommodations while road tripping.
What hotel are you staying at? The Civic, of course. How Can I Save Hundreds of Dollars While Road Tripping? When was the last time you stopped at a motel on the road only to over pay for a stinky, noisy room?

Keeping A Low Profile
Privacy is Key to Happy Car Camping. Consider having your windows tinted. I have had my windows tinted dark to help stop people from being able to see in easily. With the "windshield sun blocker" in place it is very difficult to see in. Every once in a while their will be a time that you need to play possum. You know, act like your not inside the car. It has worked a few times for me in places like New York City and Joshua Tree National Park. Use a large sun shade for your windshield

GPS Navigation
Imagine no longer being lost. It's really that simple. To sum it up. The device allows you to drive to a location you have never been as if you have been there a hundred times. No more wasting gas and time driving around in circles. Which I literally do. I have the worse sense of direction. No more asking for directions that no matter how nice the person is that's giving them.

Keep your Overhead Low
I like a little fuel efficient car to use. The less you spend on a road trip in gas/transportation, the more for other things. Of course you can make any vehicle more road trip friendly with a little imagination.

Where Can I Park Overnight?
Wal-Mart Parking Lots | Truck Stops | Hospitals

As a Money Saving Idea
Average motel room costs about $49 a night.
