I Turned My SUV Into A Camper | DIY Camping Conversion (Start to Finish)

[@SathvikMurthy]

Nice to see you trying something new!! I'm looking forward for the camper vids.

[@michaelgregory1013]

Great job! Solar panel on roof with lithium battery. Diesel heater to keep warm. Possible pull small trailer with your outdoor gear for more room. Nice work!

[@nancystrickland1623]

I just bought a SUV tent. It will give me a wonderful place to hangout without getting eaten by bugs. Plus a god sent during rain. I really like your set up. Enjoy and be safe. ☮️💚

[@michaelfromRhodeIsland]

Proper workshop is an understatement. That workshop is awesome. Very well done.

[@denwater7874]

Been watching you for a while. You have dragged her into some sketchy stuff and she's still there with you. Cudos on the upgrade! I wish you many more awesome journeys!

[@AdamStew]

Thanks man!

[@lachlangowen9571]

Awesome to see an Outlander conversion. I have a 09 model which i also converted. Have an awning attached too which works great

[@lachlangowen9571]

FYI - planning to screw an Ipad mount into the plastic roof piece at the back, and have a Portable battery stored near to the rear 12v power outlet. I also traced the outline of the car interior so I was able to shape the platform to match the odd curvature inside. Cut a mattress topper to size and used some simple reflective material for the window blinds. I ran a LED light string from one of the 'roof handles' on the passenger side around the whole edge of the roof, using velcro tape to secure it. I purchased an 'awning side tent' which I connect to the extended awning when the car is parked. This gives me an extra 2.5m x 2m room where I can do cooking, working, whatever. I keep the tent piece, chairs and table all stored in a roof box. Also plenty of space for things like boots, hiking gear, backpacks, etc. My build is much simpler than yours without the sliding drawers, I also have an extra wooden panel which I rest on the front armrest. With the front seats pushed forward i get a bed which is 190cm x 135cm. Comfortably fits two. Under the platform, I just use plastic storage boxes. I also have opted to keep the middle seats in my Outlander, so I don't have the same amount of storage space as you guys. Anything I can't fit just gets dumped in the roof box.

[@jamesflom6249]

Looks good, life is all about doing the best with what you've got. They make car tents. So you can add one that attaches to the back if you choose, swing out awnings, shower systems that mount to the roof. So as long as you have a solid foundation to work with. Your options are there....to get out and enjoy life on your terms. Good for you both

[@AdamStew]

Thanks James!

[@johnlooney2319]

Very fortunate to have her father's skill set and shop.

[@jjslifekitchen7619]

Love it. Gives me some ideas, and I always love seeing you and Joelle working together. She has endured all you have thrown her way and there she is...still there. Keepah! Keep up the great work you two.

[@AdamStew]

Thanks JJ!

[@ericfaley9019]

Wow Mio did fantastic work. I hope you put a ring on that young lady. She and her dad are fantastic

[@dakotainthesky]

Those can make for nice campers. Didn't know they had a liftgate and hatchback. Anyway Mio is an excellent carpenter

[@captrockh2055]

Get some door nets, that slip over your back doors, they work great- keeps bugs out, and air flow is good. Looks good my man- looks like Chester can't wait. 😉

[@AdamStew]

Thanks bud, Chesters pumped

[@peacenserenity19]

I know this is an older Video. I gave a Mitsubishi outlander and am researching car camping. Good Ole Dad saved the day. He did an awesome job.

[@henrylee2964]

Put a rack on top of the car with a Thule cargo box to increase our storage capacity. Put in a thermoelectric cooler to store your food to keep it cold or keep it warm in the winter.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

That'll be fun 👍🏻 I've built a lot of drawers like that and I started using vinyl edge banding for bottom drawer edge for almost zero friction. Loved it

[@brucedeo5500]

for this being your first car conversion its not bad good job cant wait for the future content

[@AdamStew]

Thanks Bruce

[@BigDaddyCool55]

Contact Jackery and see if they would sponsor a video. Then you could have a battery pack that can be recharged solar for any electronic equipment. It's small and portable that can run just about anything..

[@mattkruk5615]

Jackery is trash

[@genedegiorgio1617]

Great video. Nice design, but what a great shop. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottfulps2065]

Excellent video! For storage, remember you also have a roof rack to use. Lots of space on the roof!😊

[@AdamStew]

very true!

[@erinsable]

build a tiny box shelf, nail a plastic tub on top to sit kettle. works good.

[@jedidaddy74]

Love this!! one of my favorite channels is Mav. Can't wait to see your camping videos in the car!!!!

[@houstontexas4658]

Looking good, Chester might be worried that there will be no room for him :)! Throw the mattress in it and take it out for an overnight to see/confirm how to continue the build maybe?

[@AdamStew]

Chesters gonna be a challenge, but he'll figure it out :)

[@jimbrown4180]

Wow likeing this thanks to her smart handy dad !! . Big help indeed nice shop to disel heater panel or panels on roof . For chargering !! Let the good times roll Sumner in 2 weeks !!!.thanks again to u both .have a blessed weekend

[@AdamStew]

Thanks Jim!

[@loumahusay4332]

I’m so excited to see you guys camping using that car. ❤️❤️

[@AdamStew]

should be good :)

[@stmsrgf4c495]

Awesome videos

[@eamagcross60]

Impressive, loving it 👏

[@playingoutside]

Nicely done! If the drawer becomes harder to slide in the future, a bit of paste wax on the wood will make it even more smooth to slide. They sell them at most major hardware stores for around $12 here in the US.

[@laroccavictoria]

Looks great guys!!! Can’t wait to see your adventures!

[@AdamStew]

:D

[@teflone121]

A proper camping tarp with the loops and tie off points at key locations and a adjustable pole set for the rear end a canopy area. then you'll have to experiment on the best way to set that up

[@EyeCanShootFL]

Im more amazed by this gentlemans wood working skills!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

I’m very interested in how Mio did the low friction slide design for the huge ‘drawer’ on the passenger side. I’d really like more details please

[@bradfuller1635]

Mio needs his own cabinet making/wood working channel! He's great.

[@AdamStew]

Definitely, you should see some of the work he's done!

[@ffnovice7]

Perfect timing. My >1000$ lease is almost up, and I'm ready to live in my Sequoia until December

[@pamalvestad3848]

Very nice craftmanship!! Oh the places you can go with your tiny cabin on wheels

[@AdamStew]

Cant wait!

[@richarddukeshire]

Your SUV looks exactly like mine but it's a 2013. I want to do something similar with mine. Is there anything you would add or do differently? Doesn't look like a lot of room inside, for head space. How do you find it? Hope you have lots of great adventures with yours, cheers!

[@amitmondal552]

When see yours videos...i feel fresh mood.

[@adamm6414]

Buy the Jackery for power and it can store on the left side of build.

[@nickolascastillo4019]

I have a 2011 outlander and this right here has definitely given me more of a reason to love this vehicle. Do you have any tips on dimensions or choice of wood used? Thank you in advance.

[@wanderlust62]

Just wondering, where is your dog going to sleep? Very nice build, your dad is a great craftsman!

[@1minutecomicswalahollywood648]

Hello Adam, You are so blessed.

[@robertdegaetano1955]

for more room put a tent in back of the car to attached to the car for more space ps love your adventure and you two make a great couple keep it going

[@AdamStew]

Tent would be mint!

[@shanefaith8370]

Looks slick! I think I see a track saw in Dad's future

[@AdamStew]

Thanks bro, you know a place? lol

[@thifelicii]

I'm excited to see what comes next. 🕺🏻

[@theweekendsmoker3594]

Love from Greece!

[@jimmyanderson9444]

A Projector! Tyvm for videos

[@YansiAlberto]

what a great conversion. I like it

[@Jack-v8h4k]

Looking forward to see your next video 👍

[@teiva]

did you have any problems with the electronics by removing the rear seats? they seem to have electronic parts for the seat belts and airbags

[@kirstenstewart1873]

I like the music. Great video!

[@AdamStew]

thanks

[@WilsonJohnson-y1i]

Hi, firstly, a good video, very informative. Have you noticed that most people who build a camper from out of there car are DOG owners, like me and you. First I had a Newfoundland dog, Sport, then an Irish setter, Red, and finally, a black Labrador, Lockston, the name came from a small community in Newfoundland Canada, where we got the dog. That said, I noticed you have a chocolate Lab, mine a black Lab was very smart but ,the only Lab I have ever heard of, was afraid of water! . you see Dog people are down to earth people ,who love the outdoors. Now getting back to the build , I'm going to sell my 2023 Tacoma and buy an Outback, not sure of the trim yet. That's why I like your build, maybe I could borrow your wife's father for a while? Anyway keep up the good work and keep use informer. I am a senior with a 30 year old mind!!. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ONE QUESTION, WHERE DID YOU PUT THE SPARE TIRE?

[@Anonymous-lh7hg]

Waiting!!!!

[@valstewart8820]

Wow great job Mio! Maybe a future KZbin channel in your future

[@AdamStew]

He certainly has the look for it

[@mikemckinley1031]

Very cool thankyou for sharing your video here from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️😎

[@AdamStew]

Thanks neighbour!

[@keithfrazier8616]

Very talented at carpentry

[@chucky6367]

Not much room left once you put a mattress on there, you'll be so close to the ceiling of the car, can you even roll over? Otherwise, great job. It's interesting to see all the different ideas out there.

[@MeredithThurston]

How do you deal with the dog? I have 2 and would have to take them along.

[@gg-dp8wz]

Hi i have a mitsubishi outlander and im about to do the same project as you and i would really like to know the exact dimensions that you used

[@glennpurchase807]

Well done.

[@meditationswithmusic6976]

Perfect couple

[@wolf-359]

A canopy off the back end or side of the vehicle you could sit under. 🤔

[@AdamStew]

Definitely!

[@zeesoutdoors65]

Nice built.

[@NorthEastAdventuresBoys]

Bug mesh screen in the back windows so you can open them at night. I will get hot in there.

[@AdamStew]

Just ordered from amazon a few days ago :)

[@reddyman6915]

Check out MAV ‘s channel for decking out his car , but you guys please go your own way !! Really enjoy your videos 👍

[@diegohernaninsua4753]

Excelente video..thank you

[@alexchmus846]

Cool💪💪💪 I liked it👍🏻greetings from Ukraine!!!

[@AdamStew]

Appreciate that Alex!

[@brushfyre2705]

the best thing about this is that you can always turn around and go home.

[@canajian]

thats gettin into 007 territory... 👋😎👍

[@iknowisharepk7]

Ok good job good video

[@bighensdog74]

That bad boy needs a roof sport rack.

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

New sub ! Liked 👍❤️✌️😀😀

[@elsyduran4896]

Como les puedo enviar un video algo parecido a lo que están asiendo en su auto para que tengan otra idea

[@tendy101100]

Subbed immediately!

[@VishalThakur-oi2rm]

Nice

[@lewisabarrow6494]

Diesel heater for when it’s cold

[@AdamStew]

i guess that could be handy when she's -30 out lol

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjkl1893]

Wow

[@xoan88]

Its claustrophobic, very short high to sleep to me.

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Dude how much does it weight.

[@AdamStew]

not that much, I would guess 150 lbs max

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

@@AdamStew that’s not to bad. Nice set uo

[@ДмитрийСоколов-л3в]

The distance to the ceiling of the car is too small, there is not enough air for a comfortable sleep

[@coastallad1010]

Can't see how the draw will not have sliding issues long term. i.e expansion/ contraction of wood.

[@JustJacoBee]

Could've just gotten a roof tent and saved a lot of space

[@sraa1952]

You will need privacy screens for when you go to sleep. Dollarama in Canada or Dollar Tree in the USA sell the sunblock screen ....buy what you need and cut it to size. Buy black tape and cover the side facing out. Don't use fabric....very ghetto. The boyfriend is hot 🔥 😍

[@rohanmaurya622]

Bhai thumbnail me likha Karo Jo video me dikhtae ho

Can I get a chance to hang out with you too?

[@Pancholi4]

[@longlivecrow]

How lucky are you to have that girl. Whenever I get close to any woman all I find is pure evil.

[@futures.scalper.808]

You're not alone lol

[@silaslutjohann1530]

What is the Name of your Girlfriend?

[@3750wi]

Mitsubishi, Japan, was a war crimes company. Same goes for BMW. The difference between the two is to reflect and ask for forgiveness. Mitsubishi has no remorse, let alone compensation. Products of such war crimes companies should not be used.
