How to Convert a Chevrolet Equinox into a Part-Time Mini-Camper

Model: Chevrolet Equinox MK 2 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Body

Learn how to convert a Chevrolet Equinox into a makeshift camper, very basic but with the advantage of not requiring any inspections. This involves installing a wooden platform raised above the cargo area, which allows for extra storage space underneath for all your camping gear, and above for a makeshift bed where you can lay out your sleeping bag to sleep at night. The good thing about this setup is that if you have a spacious garage, you can load the additional platform onto the Chevy when needed for vacations or weekends, and remove it during the week for a comfortable commute to work. You can build the platform yourself easily; just have some wooden boards, a bit of handywork, and good will.
