I've been searching for a simple bed assembly for my 2015 Subaru Outback. With the Outback there is a 60/40 back seat fold down which will allow a 32" inch wide bed vs your "24 in wide. This project of yours is preferable to any I've found in that it can fold up and store much easier. Thanks. Wish me luck

Why would you want to use chemically treated woods inside the car?

What was the purpose of this video. Things were already made

I have a 2008 camry. Can you make a bed for that? I don't know if you build for other people. Thanks.

Hi. Do you have a video showing how to build the long shelf?

Wear your gloves dude! You wouldn’t forget to wear your safety goggles during a haircut would you!?

All you gotta do is write to Robie, and they'll send you another base. Give them the model number and everything. And they'll send you a new base one time

Gloves impede your feel for the work and are not necessary when using hand tools.

LOL Gloves are not "a must" when using a hand saw!

For those with allergies, suggest a 'No VOC' paint that Sherwin Williams sells. You will be sleeping in a closed-in environment without any real circulation of fresh air when you camp in Stealth Mode.

Mr. Tender Hands

Circular saw 10 times better than the jigsaw for straight cuts…How much better than the handsaw?😂

I don't normally wear gloves, but safety glasses are an absolute must. At the minimum sunglasses when using power tools.

Great stuff! I’m about to do something similar to my Fit, minus the full size spare.

Cool idea! I think if I were to make a copy of that myself, I'd add some sort of C channel to the end so it can just slide over the step in either orientation (full table or step & table)

I'm in a 2011 Forester. The front seats lay completely flat, level with the laid flat back seats. So one sheet of plywood does the job along with some sticks to acommodate with the front seat's back rest.. My plywood is only less than a half inch in thickness and I bet this would have done greatly too in your build, since your seperate pieces are only 24 inches wide and long. Would have made an even lighter package. These ways of making a sleeping platform are so much better and comfortable than the short ones in combination with the vertical back rests of the front seats 😁. I wonder if you'd be able to adjust the mount of the front seat a bit forward, if it would also lay more level flat with the back seats' back rests and make your build obsolete. This would lower the bed, leaving you with more headroom in the car.

2:12 "screwdriver without gloves".... 🤣🤣🤣

So grateful I found your video because I’m trying to build a platform in my Chevy spark with my front passenger seat exactly the way you have it and will be using this video this weekend as a reference! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Great plan. Definitely keeping this one in mind.

Gloves can get caught up in blades and other tools. It's safer to go without when using power tools. Gloves also give a false sense of security and can cause you to misjudge how close your meaty bits are to spinning steel. Also, no glove will not protect you from spinning steel. But gloves can save you from splinters, bruises, and busted knuckles when using hand tools. Don't apologize and always assess your own risk in each individual situation. No two scenarios are identical. Now eye protection, on the other hand... Eye pro is never optional. You only have two and docs aren't great at replacing them yet. Take good care of them and they'll get you through until the end. Safety first, ho-oah.

I will say, I have had to travel for work before and I've stayed at campsites, and it really sucks to have to worry about your tent during the daytime or to load up stuff everyday,

I am starting off as a residential electrician, and I really want to maximize my space in my trunk but my concern is if I fill up the back of my car with crap it'll be impossible to get to the spare tire and I don't want to throw it on the roof because then it's at the mercy of the weather

Amazing 👏

Pronounced "Lou - On"

The thin sheet of luan is pronounced Lew-won. 😊

Gloves, gloves, gloves, keep taking the meds mate,

"Non-ultimate option" :D This cracked me

7:58 it's okay man, you didn't have shorter screws and you didn't want to go by them. LOL

interesting ideas :) , gloves can get caught up in tools.

Too many damn ads

It would’ve saved so much time, money, and been WAY more useful to remove the front seat even temporarily.

Thank you for the specs!

Can I get the specs to that wood board that you made?

🤣

Awesome big tree and the wildlife fantastic!

Wow, what a horrible thing to happen. Glad everything has worked out.

Beautiful scenery!!!!

Would you consider aChevy HHR? I’m planning a cross country trip from FL to CA! And I want to sleep in my car. I love all you videos and builds. Thank you.

😂 That took a turn. And I LOL'd!

The brace over the front seat to lengthen the bed is ingenious.

so excited to see you’re back ! used your videos to help build a platform in my subaru crosstrek and went car camping for the first time this summer

Hi! thanks for sharing this great build. just wanted to share REI makes a "Trailgate Vehicle Sleeping Platform." How do you think an off the shelf product like this might stack up against the custom build? Would the REI platform fit in the Crosstrek?

Some really good ideas. Thanks for posting. BTW: It's pronounced LOOWAN.

Where do you stash your clothing, cooking setup, etc. The "stuff"

In case someone else didn't say it, the correct pronunciation is "lu-on". A cheap mahogany from the Philippines. 40 years ago the logs where loaded abroad ship and the veneers produced during passage but I don't know if that is still the case.

thats the dumbest thing ive seen so far on car camping , what the hell are you going to do with all those pillows after you sleep?

Funny :-)

Still helpful in 2023 :-)

Love your idea, Thank you.

I am laughing through the whole video, you are one of the most casually and unintentionally(?) funny people I have listened to. Great video, amazing narration 👍👍😂
