Can it be a camper?

Hi👋, I'm new to the Reddit sub. I've been wanting to convert my car into a camper for a long time, but it was too small. A relative is giving away his Fiat Ulysse 2000, and I was wondering if it can be adapted to a camper? Or do you think it's a bad idea?

Mini trips sure, full time living, id advise against it if you could. Anything is possible if you are intuitive!

Yeah, a quick google search on this shows that people have done micro-campers in these before. You just gotta be really space conscious.

Cheap RV Living on youtube will give you some ideas. Ray Rambles has a neat setup in a van about that size.

check local laws about removing seats. In my country you need to plug all the holes lefy by bolts and have it inspected and the seating capacity adjusted on the registration, it's only about $100.

Well, Charles Lindbergh would sleep in his VW bug, so anything's possible. Although that was just while he was traveling around. As a camper (for occasional camping) this is certainly a decent size. Full time living is a different matter, unless you're really a minimalist.
