Sleeping in a Disco 1
Chris Putt:
Have done it, Its not exactly mega comfortable but across the back seat with a strategically positioned rucsack works ok for me!
bigwood:
Cars are meant to carry people , tents are meant for sleeping in. Yes I have tryed both and slept in some strange places but given the choice a tent is preferable. Unless you have curtains you will be awake at first light. Cars are naturally cold metal boxes if you have a decent bag and a sleep mat you should have a good kip. My worse places for sleeping and not recommended are a cemetery in Osnabruck and the car park in Cochem on the mosel, I couldn't get in my MG so I slept on the car park. :oops:Neither are good for hang overs. :doh:
Disco Matt:
Another point in favour of Hotel Disco: Snoring.
At the last event I went to the snoring from neighbouring tents was deafening outside, but pretty much inaudible from inside the car! :lol:
I didn't spend half the night awake and frozen either, mind you I did stay up until the single figure hours both nights so could probably have slept standing up without much effort...
redhand:
As mentioned earlier if you can get a strong box that is the same height as the folded down back passenger seat (not tipped over though) and you push the front passenger seat forwards. It is possible to lay a sheet of ply the same width as the seat across the box and seat back and you get approx 6' 6" between the back of the front seat and the back door. A single airbed will fit in the gap and with a good sleeping bag you'll get a good nights sleep. I wake up at first light in a tent anyway so the window/curtaains thing doesn't really figure into it. However if light is a problem, Just keep the parcel shelf closed and as you're head will be in the load bay that'll keep it much darker than a tent would be anyway.
Steve ray:
Do it!
Both Mick (my co-driver) and me have competed in the MAC4x4 Challenge for the last two years running and spending a Fri & Sat night asleep in the motor isn't too bad. - just use a decent sleeping bag!
