Recreation of the driver and passengers in the automotive journey

In order for the journey to remember as an exciting adventure, it is worth abandoning completely or partly from the night in hotels. Better better note For temporary housing, specially intended for bedtime groups of hiking and cyclists – huts and shelters (shelters). But the most interesting is waiting for travelers who won the river bank for overnight, the forest edge – of course, where it is not forbidden by local authorities or the reserve administration.

There are enough exotic ways to use a car for overnight stay, for example, special tents whose flooring Installed on the roof of the machine, where the beds are organized. True, the roof is often engaged in luggage boxing.

Front seating Maximum shift forward, their backs lean forward.

On the surface of the mattress, 2 children are easily located, or an adult man, slightly pursing his feet. You can enable fantasy and supplement the picture. The disadvantage is obvious: The length of the sleeping place does not allow stretching to the whole growth.

Using the design of seats, self-made plywood shield and a 2-bedroom mattress: the location of sleeping along the body.

For the second option, a homemade plywood shield, collected on the site of the night of 2-4 bands 8-10 mm plywood, overlapping the body area from the edge of the trunk to the back shifted as much as possible front seats.

To the headboard are attached 2 luggage straps And it, relying in one edge on the folded backs of the rear seat, together with these backs and the floor of the trunk is a surface where the mattress, sheets and all that. In principle, it is not necessary, but in some bodies structures still it is necessary to eliminate the bodies of the body. Posted by three too. Advantage over the second way – fewer homemade.

In some designs of the rear seats, even with a pillow Could not achieve completely flat surface for sleep. Then the surface is aligned with the mattress.

A good addition to accommodation for the night in the car will be Mesh-towards: They put on the side windows, ajar diagonally, as well as a tent stretched in front of the trunk and allowing you to make a bivak comfortable.
