EASY DIY SUV CAMPER CONVERSION - PART 3: JOSHUA TREE
This is not a how-to video at all, we just wanted to bring you along on our first trip utilizing our Subaru Camper Conversion.
We took a drive to Joshua Tree National Park in October and absolutely LOVED camping with the bed platform. It was soooooo comfortable and easy to set up once we parked for the night.
The screens for the windows and moon roof kept it nice and breezy, just like if we were in a tent, but the bed platform and cozy memory foam made it feel more like a five star hotel. Not to mention we were surrounded by the magical desert landscape that is Joshua Tree, of course.
Let us know if you have any questions about the SUV Camper Conversion OR Joshua Tree National Park!

After building the bed platform we found several extremely useful products to make the Subaru Camper even more comfortable and cozy. Prices and links to these items are listed below. We've also ordered the Napier Sportz Cove 61000 Easy Setup Small Midsize SUV Tailgate Shade Awning Tent (not seen in this video) and we CAN NOT wait for it to arrive. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUEGMLR/ref=ppx_yo...

Easy!? Lol
WHATS WITH THE FUCKING TECHNO MUSIC!?!?!?! Unwatchable
How do you keep it warm if camping in cold weather? It looks amazing so we'll thought out! Well done!
You do know, don't you, that the xc90 seats fold down completely flat to make a comfortable bed??
What about storage space under the new one? There is also a lot of room.
Hi Rachel. I have xc90’suv. Want to copy. Do you have measurements for the part 1 conversion that I could repeat? Kind regards Dave
Wow! Excellent build, guys! Thank you for sharing! Questions: 1) What advantage is there in using 2 instead of 1 piece of wood plank where the 2 are attached to your headrest rods? 2) Near the end of your vid, where you used a pair of small bits of wood to elevate the middle plank to better clear the wheel well(?), did you use these because of an inaccurate measurement or because that part of the rear cargo space is not perfectly flat/parallel to the ground? 3) Now 2 years after your constructed your bed platform, how has it held up and have you made any changes to it? Thank you again! I just bought a new Forester and I'm looking around at various folks' rear cargo space bed platforms for ideas. Yours looks like an excellent one! Cheers! Liked and subscribed.
Good project. Stupid song.
This is beautiful! I am going to build one for my 2018 Ford escape
Those straps are a brilliant idea!
Nice to meet you , suv camper I envy the storage space system under the expert-level bed kit. I'm a beginner camper. I installed an exhaust fan recently. I hope it helps. Thank you for the great video.
Μερακλιδικο
Which camp ground in JTNP? I did one last week & trying a different one in a couple of days. So nice in cooler weather!!!
Will these measurements work for a 2015 Forrester? Thanks
Awesome build! don’t stop. You are doing such a great job. This is mine: ua-cam.com/video/n4QspyiyVzU/v-deo.html . Still have some work to do to make it look better but had a lot of fun doing it 😋. Happy Camping 🏕!
Best I have seen of MANY good ones here on YT! Thanks!
Very professionally done. Thank you for your significant efforts.
Best mod I seen for a forester! Thank you.
Where did you buy the black straps from??
Great idea however horrible background music
You guys made this look SO easy! I just started my build. I hate that the seats don’t lay flat (I have a 2010 Forester), I had to readjust so many times. Thanks for the inspiration! I hope you guys are still camping in your Subaru!
Looks really nice
So how was it? Did the mosquito screens work?
Excellent
Nice I want to make it in my bolero .
Sweet! Let me know how it goes!
can’t wait to build this in two weeks! Thanks got this video.. i’ve been trying to find a decent one.
That's wonderful! I'm glad it helped! Let me know how it goes! It was so fun to build and totally worth it for car camping.
I really like this i am from india
Nice! We've been to India a few times and have wonderful friends over there. It's probably our favorite place we've ever traveled! Thanks for watching!
This is exactly what I’m looking for but I don’t have the tools or the skills to do it!
Very nice, travel well!
Thanks Kelly! We certainly put it to good use on the road!
While I love this video and applaud your efforts, I do not see this as an "easy" DIY build. I do not have most of the tools you use in the video and I have never done construction work before. But thanks for sharing anyway.
We've never done construction work before either, which is why I felt it was easy. I totally understand your point of view though! Thanks for watching! :)
All of the tools, glue, and screws needed to make this can be had for under $100, they won't be top of the line but they'll get the job done. As for knowing how to use them, I'd invest about 10 minutes into learning how to use a drill, 20 minutes into learning how to use a circular saw, and an hour into learning how to make good cuts and measurements. You can do it man, just takes a little effort 👍
@@dylanlucas3397 You got a rotary saw for under $100?
@@RichGarner I don't recall them using that tool, but I suppose I could've missed it. But yes you can find them, Harbor Freight, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist are your best friends when it comes to cheap tools
Good idea!
love the music
Cool video, nice idea!!!!!
What size topper did you use? full or queen? thanks.
Full :) 3 inches thick.
LOVE it. Will do similar lay out as your. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Rachel, this is great!
Of course! Glad you like it! :)
🤝 foarte mișto 🤝
do you have enough space for things (clothes, food, electronics, water etc.)?
We do, yes. If you watch the second video (link above) you can see how we utilized storage boxes, etc. :)
thanks for sharing, smart build :)
4runner 5th gen?
Nice! I have liked and subscribed. I made a quick foldout platform and was interested to see how others did it. I need to be able to fold mine up and pop seats up to drive kiddies around so it’s nice and flexible :)
Fantastic! Mine is able to stack behind the backseats just in case there was a full car. I haven't had to travel with it in that way yet, but if I did I would have to use a rooftop cargo container for the foam mattress, etc. I'll check out your channel, for sure!
So fun! Do you find you’re able to store a decent amount of things under the bed?
Exactly how I did it in my forester, except mine is only as wide as the wider half of the back seat. Single sleeper 😴
Love it 😊 well done ✅
Come see mine
Very beautiful❤.
Thaaaaaaaat eeeeeeezzzzzzz fenñnnnnnnnnnntasticcccccccccccccc , Mate.... 👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
Wow. Very inspiring. Thank you. I just wonder, it there enough room for 2? Greetings from Germany
My partner and I are quite cozy in it. I am 5'1" and he is 6'2".
Where did you buy the side table from?
Very nice! Can you sit up in bed?
