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!

EASY DIY SUV CAMPER CONVERSION - PART 2: ACCESSORIZING

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...

    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.

      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 👍

    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 :)

    • @rachelmorgan877
      @rachelmorgan877 3 года назад

      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!
