Here’s a video showing some of the basic features of my 2003 Honda Element AWD camper.


Total cost was 5k including the car (bought it with a bad transmission and then swapped it out).
203k miles on engine.
Added new shocks/struts, serpentine belt, plugs, oil change...

I use this as a camping vehicle, I do not live in it full time. I may take some extended mountain bike trips in it soon, like a month or so on the road, so we'll see how it goes for long term living then.
