Sleeping in the rear of a tourer?

peelaaa · 28th July 2013, 11:50

Hi, I'm off to a music festival in a few weeks.

Now, if the weather is really bad, may plan on sleeping in car for one of the nights instead of tent.

Has anyone experiences of that?

I slept in mine at the first Four Ashes Nano I
went to, I'm 6ft 1in and no problems. Only downside
was getting in and out too often drained the battery enough
to require a boost charge in the morning (hi-line model
so sat nav was firing up each time a door was opened).

My brother used to have a tourer and used it to sleep in whilst on holiday.

Slept in the back of an SD1 years ago. So the tourer should be like luxury.

The floor's too hard I prefer to recline the seats & sleep in comfort

Slept in the back of a focus a few years ago so a tourer is luxury, almost room for an en-suite

I always found the P6 a good car to sleep in but my all time fave was my Toyota Carina II.................spent many a comfortable night in there following the RAC Rally

I'm sorry that's absolutely no help whatsoever but just thought I'd share

I slept in my old Discovery a few times instead of a tent

someone did suggest I drop the back seats in my saloon to sleep in at the last meet lol

Also me and the wife slept in our old Nissan almera when we worked at download festival, I must say most uncomfortable weekend EVER!!!
