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.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
