Thanks for having me in this group. Update: I posted this promoting our new Element product and site, then read the rules, so I’m pulling this. My bad. We just launched rear-seat floor-latch covers since you can no longer find them anywhere. These are tough (see how tough here).

Hello Everyone-- I have owned a 2007 Honda Element now for a month and had to have some repairs (exhaust, rotors, and now there is a squeak in the door). But it's time to road test it. It's an odd little vehicle and I bought it primarily because I don't want to stay hotels right now and I...

Finished my window coverings today. I used 1 25’ roll of reflectix from HD with nylon material spray glued on both sides. I chose grey for the interior side and black for the outer. I don’t like the way you can see the reflectix when it’s pressed Up against the window so I spray painted it flat...

Does anyone know what the length of the Honda Tent poles are? I have a Honda Tent purchased from the dealer a few years ago. The poles broke and have gone missing. I'd want to purchase replacement poles / kits but am unsure of the pole length. Anyone have any knowledge about this? Thanks

This will be my 3rd summer in the midwest after living in the PNW for 8yrs and growing up in Wyoming. I love to camp, wander around in nature, and get away from the city. I fully understand nothing in the midwest is going to live up to my PNW expectations, but does anyone have any...

My wife & I road tripped & car camped two months in our '03 EX Element (minus some occasional credit card camping). We loved our bed / storage setup. It is unlike anything I've seen in browsing the E forums thus far (apologies if I'm duplicating anyone before me). Basic concept: A...

We wanted a platform to use on trips and I designed an interlocking box system but MRS MT BIKE found the platform that hotkarl put together and liked the simplicity so we went for that. The main barrier to entry for hotkarl’s system is the fabricated brackets, which have to be fairly accurate...

This is a custom made bed platform for Honda Element (all year) that can accommodate 2 people comfortably. They are made out of solid Douglas Fir. They were sealed and finished with clear Polyurethane. They are 6 boxes all together that can be broken down so that you can put them in the back and...

Hi. I love my element, 196k miles going strong. I’ve had it about a year and half. I’ve used a simple plywood mod for some epic storage on a road trip (MA to VA) but last weekend I finally slept in it. Me, a few months pregnant, my nine year old and my pit bull/lab mix. We put all the seats down...

Has anyone built a 5th Element-style door-to-door table? If so, I'd love to get your plans and lessons learned.

We built a sleeping platform for our 2004 Element, I put all pics and descriptions in a Flicker album, click for the link! This forum was absolutely invaluable when we were designing our platform, thanks to all the members that posted info and pictures about their modifications.:grin:

My wife and I are helping a young lady get her first car - and she fell in love with an Element. She loves the outdoors - and we were trying to accessorize the car for her. Does anyone know where I can get the table leg kit - or does anyone have the table leg kit that they would consider...

Chico, CA here.....love my Honda (Elephant) as my 4 yr. old grandson says it..... love the room it has, had a 92 Jeep Wrangler before. Not a lot of room in my YJ, but I miss her.....and the gas mileage was terrible, 200 miles to a tank. :( But my Honda has doubled the mileage which I'm...

Hi everyone – after seeing all the inspiring living and camping mods on the forum, I finally bought a 2006 Element off craigslist and am in the process of building it out to live in. I definitely want a sleeping platform for storage room underneath, and I'm debating building some shelves on one...
