There is no shortage of car camper builds on the internet. Most of these builds, however, emphasize more on cost savings and simplicity rather than durability, quality, and design aesthetic. I think my design strikes a balance between all of these attributes. 

The camper fits neatly into the trunk of a 5th Generation Toyota RAV4 (2019-present) and will likely fit other modern SUVs as well. It expands to fit two people comfortably and includes two large storage drawers underneath the sleeping platform. The design also features a hidden countertop than can be placed on top of the drawers when they’re pulled out. The counter locks in place and is perfect for cooking at a campsite with no other tabletops or flat surfaces.

I tried to keep the build video entertaining and educational. By popular demand, I’ve released the blueprints (material & tool list, technical drawings, etc.) of all of the parts and assemblies, which are available in my shop. These drawings also include cut sheets that display the most efficient way to get all the pieces out of your plywood sheets. I hope you find these plan useful as you build your own camper!
