In this video I finally take my Element camper out for its first night out in the wild. I go find a free dispersed campsite a couple hours from me and settle in for the night to see what changes I need to make. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I try using a weird Amazon product to attach a solar panel to the top of my car. Does it work? Is it worth getting? (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I finally reveal the camping setup I’ve been working on in my 2005 Honda Element! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

* Solar panel
* Solar claw clamps

* Rear hatch opener
