    I have a Subaru Outback and love your build! It's so clever that you used percentages to determine what you will need and how you will use the space. And, I appreciate the lessons learned. A very detailed build. Thanks for sharing!!

    I’ve seen a lot of Outback camping videos, but have never seen the sunroof fan setup. That’s an awesome idea. It’s one of those nuggets you keep and remember and include in your own setup.

    Really well designed. I had an old but low miles conversion van that I had to let go of when I got my Outback about 7 years ago, extended Starcraft conversion that was great for camping, pretty much a no build set up. I could even fit my 12 foot fishing kayak inside. Can't buy another van at current prices, so looking to set up my Outback for short getaways. Not going as elaborate as your build, but more of a low budget version. Thanks for the good ideas. BTW, are the window inserts store bought, or did you make them? I've been looking at the Weathertech ones cuz I'm not real handy and a low energy older guy, lol. Just subbed and liked, hope you keep making content.

    Subaru are good vehicles. Only stigma associated with that brand of rough terrain vehicle is that folks think you're gay if you drive a Subaru. Same with Jeep Wrangler. They're tagged as "queer mobiles".
