Honda Elements are rapidly becoming a popular option among van life dwellers. With YouTube channels like Element Van Life gaining over 25k subscribers or SilverLine (which is one of my favorite builds) the idea of camping in Honda Elements is popular. With the addition of an pop top roof tent these vehicles make an excellent choice to build out your ideal camper van.
As the cost of conversion vans continues to rise, Honda Elements are becoming an increasingly popular option for those looking to build their own campers. And it’s not hard to see why – Honda Elements are reliable, affordable, and versatile, making them the perfect platform for a camper conversion.
Honda Element Camper Conversions
There are a number of different ways you can go about converting your Honda Element into a camper, so it’s really up to your own personal preferences and needs. But whatever route you decide to take, there are some great examples out there to get you inspired.
One popular option is to convert the back cargo area into a sleeping space. This can be as simple as adding a mattress or futon, or you can get more creative and build out custom storage and sleeping solutions. Some people even add second story loft spaces in their Element campers!
Another popular option is to use the Element as more of a basecamp style camper, and outfit it with all the gear you need for spending time outdoors. This might include things like a rooftop tent, awning, outdoor kitchen setup, etc. The sky (and your budget) is really the limit here.
So whatever kind of Honda Element camper conversion you’re looking to do, there are plenty of great examples out there to help get you started. So what are you waiting for? Get started on your own project today!
