It only took a £49 Ikea kids’ product to transform my Vauxhall Corsa into a campervan
A COUPLE only needed a £49 Ikea kids’ product to transform their Vauxhall Corsa into a campervan.
Lisa and her partner were surprisingly able to turn their motor into somewhere they could have an overnight stay whenever they wanted by using something so simple.
Sharing their sneaky hack to followers on TikTok, Lisa revealed how the foam extendable mattress makes it happen.
The product from everyone’s favourite furniture shop has three sections – allowing you to fold it up and make it flexible.
Named the Plutten online, it is 7cm thick and 80x200cm wide, offering extreme levels of comfort.
Lisa revealed how the product has allowed them to take their mini Corsa for a drive to a lake destination and always stay over.
The pair empty out the boot before setting off, only packing in the essentials.
Once they reach their camping spot, they can then set-up the foam mattress.
All they need to do is put the back seats down and voila, the mattress fills the boot area.
It comes after an experienced car camper shocked vehicle owners with the transformation of her Volkswagen Golf into a snug retreat.
Elsewhere, a man also converted his car into a camper van – but to live in it.
George Burke, 28, from Hereford, says he now pays no rent, saves £900 a month and will be able to buy his own home in months.
And another man with a van can quickly turn his work vehicle into a campervan and get out exploring the world sooner.
Motorist and traveller Stephen Reid has revealed in a TikTok video how he can convert his work van into a camper in just 10 minutes.
