Have any of you got experience of camping out in a car? So snacks, supplies, mattress in the back and head away somewhere randomly every so often for a night or two?

I never know know when I’ll have time, so it’s a bit too last-minute to start hiring camper vans etc, I don’t have the space for a caravan, even a small one etc, and my new car is easily large enough to accommodate two adults with the seats down. So it kind of makes some sense somewhere in the realms of the universe.

My main concerns are things like toilets and washing etc, plus safety when we’re parked up for the night (good/bad locations etc).

So if anybody has done this, maybe you could give me some tips, or just tell me if I’m completely nuts (I am btw) :-)
