I did a similar build in my Subaru but found it was too cramped for sleeping. I have a Saturn Outlook now with no build and it's working well for me. I'm going to spend 2 months living in it this summer, so we'll see how that goes! Cheers!

Great work man! This is perfect for me as I have 2015 Forester too, so thank you for putting this out there! I have a question though, did you use 1/2 or 3/4 plywood on the drawers?

Totally about to build out my civic like this, I’m tired of paying rent and I’m tired of working 2-3 jobs just to survive. This past year I was laid off of my amazing job I had and I’ve just hit a complete rough patch of not being able to find a job that covers my bills it’s a long story but I’m tired of my roommate being upset with me for paying rent late. Rather live like this alone with bare minimum while working and saving a ton of money to just buy a house eventually. I have a 2022 civic SI was thinking about trading it in for a honda fit but seeing this makes me wanna just keep my SI

It looks like you removed your spare tire for extra storage, but where is your spare tire?
@veganpotterthevegan4 ай бұрын
Definitely cool but there's so much lost space with that foam around the spare. I took mine out and built supports underneath. Lots of space for food under there. I also cut my rear seat so it's a permanent 3 seater now. I get wanting to keep the seats but removing them is easy and gives you a ton of space. Far easier to do that than installing this system.

I love your build! I've been looking at lots of Forester builds and have settled on yours. I'm curious however - Do you think there is much of an advantage to the double drawer system compared to a single drawer with a removable countertop covering, say, half the drawer? Thanks!!!
@jaroddclark9 ай бұрын
Thank you! I love being able to fully use the countertop and also access the drawer at the same time. If I am cooking for instance, I’d hate to have to move the stove in order to grab things out of the drawer.

i was thinking about putting a foldable 100w solar panel underneath the back window as well, how much wattage do you get out of it, with it being behind glass and all?
@jaroddclark10 ай бұрын
I don’t really use the panel much anymore but it seemed to cut down the wattage by about 40% even in direct sunlight. It’s possible newer solar panels could be better, not quite sure

How did you go about securing it in the back of the car? Or did you rely on the fitment of the pieces to do that?
@jaroddclark10 ай бұрын
The pieces fit very tightly within the space of the car, however there are two turnbuckles that fasten the back section into the trunk. Mostly these are to provide a counterweight when the drawer is fully extended

Absolutely amazing build. And leaving one seat still functional was a pretty good idea. Just having a seated space with a sort of table beside it could be quite useful. I see there was a gap between the storage behind the driver and the bed frame area where you stacked 4 pieces of plywood, did you end up tidying up this part and utilizing the tiny cubby space or left it as is? Also the aluminum countertop was a stroke of genius. Adds such a convenience for a countertop that you don't see in many builds. About to go down a rabbit hole for any videos you've posted of the Forester as this is perhaps the best build i've seen thus far.
@jaroddclark10 ай бұрын
Thank you! For the cubby storage I usually use that to store camera gear as a sort of built-in camera bag. It has served a variety of purposes for camping and just driving about town.
