Honda Element|Custom Camping + Mobile Office Build - secret compartment - vanlife, car camping, dog

Thanks for hanging out with me at NappingWhileCamping!

I recently went camping with my friend, Dr. Phil. While enjoying our campsite, we also filmed this special edition. Today, I showcase a custom Honda Element camper build. Join me as I introduce my long-time friend, Dr. Phil @DrPhil-BestMajorEver and her 2006 #hondaelement. Have an up-close and personal look at the modifications made to create the perfect dog-friendly camping workspace. Custom mods, handmade cabinetry, everything except a toilet. This is the 2nd iteration of the desk/cabinet area. Dr Phil gives us a thorough look into her personal home away from home. She has added things, such as the roof-rack, the tow-bar, and the side-steps. She has built things, like the desk, the center console, and the expandable slat bed. She has tweaked things, from a chain on her teapot lid to repurposed over-the-door hooks. Did she really just give away her secret hiding spot??? You'll never guess what her personalized license plate says...but it's fun. Please feel free to leave questions or comments, we both will be reading them..
Happy Camping!

Feeling Generous? I'm not financially secure, being on disability. A donation of any size would help fund things like ice, firewood, gas, and campsite fees (which are getting ridiculous for a tent site with no electricity) I'll love you forever and be sure to shout you out (if you don't mind) in a future video!
