#1 of 3 Rear space to sleep in?... by 0311vn Feb 13, 2008 (11:34 pm)
There are times when I am traveling and think dropping $80. to $100. just to sleep while en route is silly. Years ago I had a three-quarter ton Chevy van that was wide open behind the front seats and great for sleeping in. I've looked at Element interiors and figure one person could sleep in it with the back seats removed. Two might be tight. Any experiences of sleeping in the Element?

#2 of 3 Camping by ragets Feb 17, 2008 (4:52 pm)
I have gone camping in my 2007 Honda Element EX 4WD numerous times. I leave the seats in the back though and form the bed with all the seats down in the reclining position. It is not the most comfortable bed in the world but it is great for camping. I have taken several friends with me at different times and they loved sleeping in it. That is also one of the reasons I bought an Element. I'm 17 and do all kinds of things and the camping versatility is great. Hope that may have helped.

Replying to: 0311vn (Feb 13, 2008 11:34 pm) I slepted in my 2003 Element at least 4 times. I didn't remove the back seats at all. The most comfortable sleeping configuration in my opintion is to recline the front seat to about 2/3 way down and then push it all the way back. Then you can sleep in the back seat with your leg resting on the back support of the front seat in any angle you want. I found it most comfortable for overnight sleep with the front seat 2/3 way down and the back seat about 1/2 down. Of course, you will need to get used to seeing the sky out the moonroof in the back. The first night I slepted in my element was at an overnight fishing. It was raining and small hails were coming down hard. It was great. The second time was during a warmer season. I had the rear window pop out, but felt safe since it doesn't open all the way and there is no way the door can be unlocked through the rear pop-out windows. It's great.
