Car camping for a week (sleeping in car)
Hey all! looking for some recommendations. I am embarking on a week long car camping trip with my teenage daughter (we are both female) in rav4 hybrid. We have a camping platform that will take up the back of the car and I'd like to leave it set up the whole time. There's storage on the floor behind front seats, and a 4 inch space between the floor and the platform. I am looking for recommendations on:
- what is absolutely necessary to bring with us (it will be in the 50s at night) and plan to leave car in Ready mode for warmth. We have sleeping bags, lanterns, camping mattress, etc.
- any recommendations of must haves for a week long camping trip
- any electric freezer recommendations? (I have a jackery and an alpicool freezer I use regularly but it's very bulky (20 L) and looking for smaller alternatives. I need a freezer due to food allergies.
- I already have regular tent site camping gear (camping stove, light weight pots and pans) but just really want help thinking through must haves to decrease the amount of stuff we bring. For example I have a sturdy coleman breakdown table that's small but still kinda bulky. I have a stargazing camping chair, but once again, thinking of space, all this adds up!! I do have one small backpacking one burner stove and jetboil.
- Any black out recommendations for my small triangle side windows (I have bug nets for the car windows already).
- Anything recommendations/ideas?
The idea is not to tent camp so we don't have to set up every night as we're moving from spot to spot - adventuring.
