Default xB Camper Conversion

Is there anything this vehicle Can't do? It's like the VW Bus for a new generation. Unload the chairs and the ice chest, inflate the air mattress, camp is set up!

You need to update your camo pattern to the new CADPAT or MARPAT digital pattern. I like it though...

thats perfect Scionic!!! just a couple of questions:

1. when the back seats fold forward, isnt there quite a bit of space between feet room and the front two seats?

so in other words:

C
A BACKSTheadrst SPACE FRONTst
R BACKSTheadrst SPACE FRONTst
G BACKSTheadrst SPACE PASSst
O BACKSTheadrst SPACE PASSst

is -------------------^^^^^---- enough of a gap to fit pillow comfortable without your neck leaning down? (sorry i have a big imagination, if u need clarification, let me know hahahaha)

2. do u think itd be comfy WITHOUT the air bed or POSSIBLE comfortable without it i guess....

3. is that really camo on the headliner?

4. are the seats 100% up and leaned forward 100%

Mark I must say that I wish I had thought of your camo modd for the headliner. GOD that is HOT! I think that a tent like structure that would work with the open hatch would be cool.

I did the same thing at the ocean. I didn't have a place to stay so I parked in this hotel parking lot. Folded the seats down piled up 2 pillows and went to bed. Windows were tinted so no one could see in. Was great

On the xB, when you remove the headrests from the front seats, (iust pull em up and out) the chairs lay ALL the way down vertically and end up PERFECTLY flush with the start of the backseat its like a full car length matress.

Since I have seatcovers, I can't take my headrests off and also, I have the Zeta armrest that would stick up if you laid them back. In the pic, I have the seats moved forward and leaned forward. It's not too big of a gap and the mattressis stiff enough to cover it.

I couldn'tt imagine trying to sleep on it without a mattress, I'd just lay the seat back and sleep on it.

Camo on the headliner, A,B pillars, the back of the wink mirror, the lower console surround, just got new camo seatcovers...

Now isn't the 'salesman' supposed to support the buyer? You should have seen this guy when I picked my CAMOBox up (first time I'd met him as I'd done all the rest via email and phone - he was just handed the sale). Anyway, I'd seen the camo color only once, and quite some time before deciding on it. My memory told me it was almost black (like the blue and the red and the black
When I saw 'my' xB for the first time it was way better than I'd envisioned. However, without losing a beat I told this salesman about my plans to 'trim' it with realtree camo decals like is seen on pickup trucks (find it cabelas etc...). He laughed in my face. And not like I was kidding. Though now, I'll likely wait until it starts getting rough. I really like this color.

Does you car have exterior camo decaling?
