No big deal.įor reference I’m 6 foot tall and my wife is 5 foot 5 inches. The shorter person will have to position their feet either side of the steering wheel if they happen to reach that far. When there’s 2 people the taller person will sleep on the passenger side which has a maximum length of around 170-180cm. It’s a tiny car, there’s not enough room? One of the most notable features of the Jimny is the ability to drop the seats flat (well… almost flat) and this is what opens up the opportunity for excellent car camping. It’s a tiny car, there’s not enough room?.So here goes, this is everything I’ve learnt so far.

Don’t necessarily do what I do! Make sure you have some form of waterproof storage boxes for your gear when you hit the hay and this is where a roof basket or rack can be your friend.

Crucially, and I would recommend this for any aspiring Jimny camper, keep equipment minimal, simple and efficient. Some on Facebook might disagree but we’ve done it and can vouch for authenticity. However, in practice sleeping in the Jimny for 1 or 2 people is extremely workable. It can be done stealthily too, which is impossible in a roof top tent.įirst off, some of the photos used are just for show, they’re staged. It’s cheap (if you don’t listen to my mattress selection advice lol), warm, quiet and comfortable when set up correctly. It’s something a lot of people are interested in and I can understand why. I thought I’d write a separate guide for car camping in the Jimny.
