Will i get camping gear in a S2000?

[R1 Indy]

I am starting to plan my trip down to Monza in September.

I will be driving down in my S2000, on my own so passenger side is free.

I would prefer to camp rather than stay in hotels.

But the S2000 does not have the largest boot....


Has anyone been camping in a S2000/MX5 etc, and did it all fit?

If you haven't got a passenger it'll fit easy. Should get it all in the boot to be honest. Sleeping bag and other bits should fit in the deep part of the boot, pile everything else you need on top. Can get more in than you think, just need to pack it well.

Remove the spare wheel. take tyre foam.

Loads of space - stick your arm in the spare wheel well and wave it around.

Been camping in an SLK with the roof down for the journey - can get a lot of gear in the passenger footwell and on the seat.

S2000 has a fabric roof that takes up no space in the boot - POP to get enough gear in that

If I can carry 6 weeks of camping gear on a push bike, I'd hope you can fit it in a S2K!

You might need a compact tent, a compact sleeping bag, and perhaps carry spirits instead of crates of beer...

Are you male? If so then yes. If you are female then nope, you'll need a roof box and trailer for a weekend away.

I could easily fit all the camping gear I need in the mx5 without needing the passenger seat, I struggled to fit all the stuff in the boot for a weekend away with a woman and we were staying in a hotel! If you find a woman that packs light, marry her.

Excellant, cheers guys.

Was just a little worried, as last year i struggled to get everything into my CLK55, however i did go a little overboard with what was required!

Hopefully the beer fridge will fit in the passenger footwell, as warm beer is just not on!!

To be clear: left of the spare wheel is hollow. Loads of space there.
Boot capacity doubles if you use it and the spare wheel well.

and/or get a boot-rack. I've got one on the MX5 and it makes a big difference to space. Mine's a permanent fitment, but you can get ones that clip on and off quite easily, so you can leave it at your destination once the tent is up.

Beer fridge? No wonder you had problems last year!
