Want to travel by car but can’t afford an RV? These cars turn into "bed cars" instantly when the rear seats are folded down

As the domestic epidemic control has achieved very good results, more and more people are eager to travel, but they are still worried about the risks of public transportation such as high-speed rail, airplanes and buses. I chose to travel by self-driving, but I didn’t have enough funds to buy an RV, so I wanted to buy a car that could be converted into a bed truck. I searched for a long time but didn’t know how to choose. Today I will introduce to you what kind of car it is. It is more suitable to modify the bed lathe.

First of all, we must understand the concept of a bed cart. Unlike an RV, a bed cart can provide functions such as accommodation, washing, and cooking. It can only provide simple accommodation functions while ensuring vehicle travel. This is currently a major problem. The preferred method for most budget travel enthusiasts. Generally speaking, cars do not meet such conditions because the interior space of the car is too small and there is no way to connect it to the trunk. Even if an inflatable bed can be placed in the back row , and can only sleep one adult. If two people are traveling or are taller, this choice shows a great disadvantage. Therefore, it is first recommended to change the bed car to an SUV or MPV, because these two models have There is plenty of space inside the car, and there are many modification options.

Then it should be noted that there are generally three requirements for modifying a bed truck, namely, the height must be high, the depth must be deep, and the platform must be flat after the rear discharge is folded. First, the height must be high. This is easy to understand. Most SUVs and MPVs are taller than cars, which makes it easier to move in the car. The higher the height, the greater the sense of space in the car, which is very comfortable for people resting in the car. One thing is to not hit the roof of the car as soon as you raise your head. Then the depth must be deep. If the depth is deep enough, the bed can be longer, which is very friendly to those with taller heights. Anyway, these two points are to be big. If the bed cart is not big, the feeling of sleeping is still good. It's better to put it directly on the seat for more comfort. Finally, the rear platform should be very flat, because if the air bed is not flat, it will shake, and you will feel very dizzy when sleeping, just like sitting on a seesaw. If you lay the quilt directly, it will not A flat platform will rub your back, making it uncomfortable for a long time.

So how to choose between SUV and MPV? I prefer MPV. First of all, MPVs usually have seven seats, and the space and wheelbase are much larger than that of SUVs. After removing the rear seats, it can be easily converted into a bed car, and the height and depth of the car are They are all very good. Since there is no concept of trunk, the floor of MPV is relatively flatter, and the rear seats of many SUVs cannot be completely flat. However, MPVs also have some shortcomings, that is, the handling is weaker than that of SUVs, and the chassis height It is low and does not have good passability. If you want to drive outdoors, it will be very uncomfortable to drive the MPV the whole way. SUV is not impossible to choose, at least it is more suitable for converting into a bed truck than a car, and compared with MPV, SUV is safer and more reliable. In an emergency, SUV can get out of trouble faster, but when choosing to convert into a bed truck, Try to find some models that can fold the rear row completely flat, so that it will be more convenient when changing the bed.

At present, the more common models of modified bed trucks include Baojun's 730 and Wuling Hongguang. These models are relatively cheap, and it is not troublesome to dismantle and dismantle them, and the space is very generous. , after modification, it can be used as a bed car. If you have more money, you can also choose some station wagons, such as Volvo's V60 and Audi's A4avant. Although these types of models are more expensive, they are better in all aspects. The configuration is very good, suitable for those who have higher requirements.
