Setting up and taking down the Honda Element Ecamper

[beefiness]

there was a honda in that? i didn't notice

[Solumic]

Does she come with the tent?

[kbrinner]

Yes, it's permanent. Check out Ursa Minor online - they do the conversions. The fabric is very tough so I'm not worried about it ripping.

[silkdaddy763]

Is this a permininant attachment. You can't take it off and put it on. It stays on your roof forever, and you just open and close it? So you can't ever use your sunroof as a sunroof again. It is now a perminant entry way for the tent? What happens if the fabric rips or something?

[HondamaniaSi]

Hondas ROCK!!- used to own Volkswagens and had a bus. I will have one of these ECAMPERS on a new Element soon! I just can't pass it up! -now I need to invent swivel mounts for the front seats so they turn around and face the rear = "Honda House" I used to tow a 2003 Coleman Taos tent trailer 1,000 lbs, it was $5k brand-new!! I would buy one of these though because small+lightweightRV+4WD+HONDA= THE BEST RESALE ON THE PLANET!!!

[kbrinner]

Yes, it's better than a good tent, since it has a hard ceiling. Rain and wind proof. We did need to do some seam sealing as there was a little leakage, but that fixed that problem.

[ScottsUtubeWorld]

Is it totally rain and windproof? It rained and blew like CRAZY during my last camping trip.

[kbrinner]

Yes - it's great in the rain and has extra supports to be able to withhold wind. We did have to do a little seam sealing at one point as we were getting some drips through the zippers, but that solved that problem.

how much did that camper cost on that element PS.best video ever

[kbrinner]

It cost about $4000 - we think we're close to making up the cost with the money we saved by camping.

[DenverSantaBarbara]

I hope by the time I can afford the car and modification, I'll still be able to get both. It looks like 2015ish ugh (grad school)

[crickiit]

what year is this and is it an ex or lc?

[kbrinner]

It's a 2008 EX. The guys at Ursa Minor (where we bought the camper) can convert any Element with a sunroof, and I think they're even doing the 2010 Elements now that don't come with a sunroof.

[velomanmtl]

Want bad! Need one like that. Does it come with the girl? Want that too!!!

[crickiit]

omg thats awesome how much was that

[mdmsupra]

That girl is beautiful, who would not want to go camping with her!

[csestini]

Want!

[travelingoutskirts]

Wish I had an Element now! Wonder if I could find a similar setup for my suburban :)

[Staples234]

Sexy little thing(the girl)

[nosearg]

super cool . . . just finished taking some measurements on my garage =)

[SHADOWBOXERBAYBEE]

Hey, I just happened to think about this. . . HOW EASY is it to get UP in there and then back out? You have to keep the Element open in the back so you don't fall trying to get down from the top!! All kinds of critters and human creeps can then get inside.

[nytetym]

I think you get in from the skylight opening, that area she was accessing at 22 seconds. & it can't be opened from the outside, you'd need to be inside it to pull those red straps to unlock it. at least, that's how it looks from here.

[kbrinner]

It's very easy. You can get in to and out of the camper on the roof through the sunroof. Once you're down in the car, you can open the back door from the inside (but you only open it when you need to). You can also get in and out of the camper from the outside, much like a normal tent. Check out Ursa Minor's websites for more details.
