Easy Subaru Crosstrek Camper. Come look at my Crosstrek Camper! In this video, I go into detail on how my Subaru Crosstrek is diverted to a comfy and easy car camping set up. FYI, I used 3/4” plywood.
Thanks for watching. Cheers.

Bought a roll of reflectix and will be making my own for about $50 total by the time I buy the fabric for the reverse side. That's a little over $100 less than what weather tech wanted for a 24 Outback set. Wish me luck!

It definitely seems like it works, but one of my suggestions might be to flip the bed board around so that your feet rest on the hinge. I feel like putting the heaviest part of your body on the hinge will eventually start to wear on it. Our feet/legs are considerably lighter than our torsos/heads if that makes sense. Amazing video though! I'll be buying a crosstrek here in a couple days and I'm super excited to have more room to do this type of this (Currently have an '03 Camry haha)

Good stuff Rob!! I've done more of this style of camping when going to mountain bike events over the years. Works great because it can be done in just a parking space at a trail head or Walmart. My old minivan was total luxury for this but now I'm in the truck bed with a topper. Leaving on a rainy morning and not having to pack up a wet tent is a bonus for this style of camping. Thanks for sharing!!!

You definitely can do. Granted it depends on how long, your capacity/endurance, and physical size. I'm 6' 250+lbs. I've used my 2020 Impreza twice for car camping two times in two years. The first time was summarily a failure of maybe 4 hours of sleep over 8 hours and learned MANY lessons. Just had my most recent go around a year later and got solid, restful sleep. Except due to a heavy family conversation right at bedtime. But this time another 4 hours, though SOLID straight through! I survived my early ass fishing trip until I drove to my mom's to deliver her rockfish filets and subsequently passed out at her place. Unlike after that first time, I'm excited for round 3.😊

I also have a Napier Backroadz tent that can attach to the truno when it's open. I plan to sleep in the car and use the tent for my gear/ kitchen. For my bed I will be using a 4inch foam tri-fold matress. The Vivian folds quite flat and like you I hope to use storage bins to fill in the gap. So Garvin trying it without a sleeping platform. I have all the window screens except the one for the sunroof. I'll have to find one. Thanks for confirming that I'm on the right track.

This is the fourth Subaru camping vid I've watched and by far the best... except for some girl from up north who was just easy to look at. As far as cooking inside is concerned, a Trangia alcohol burner to boil some water and make some coffee or tea or cocoa in the morning would be a really good way to go. No carbon monoxide is produced with isopropyl alcohol (It is a 100% combustible fuel) and it is a silent stove (great for emergency use as well). Combine that with an Aeropress coffee press and you'll be sitting pretty. Thanks for the review.

@robpelton 11 ай бұрын
I appreciate the kind words. Boiling water or something by inside is fine. However, I find isopropyl alcohol doesn’t burn clean or very efficient. Heat or Denatured alcohol is the best. Burns super clean. Zero soot. That coffee tho. Haha. Thanks for watching!

@michaelthomson5101 11 ай бұрын
@@robpelton, that's right. I meant denatured. not IPA. IPA has water in it which makes it a very ineffective and potentially hazardous fuel, as is HEAT when used indoors.. Denatured will burn efficiently enough to burn indoors, but with any burning fuel, you should be of aware of any and all potential hazards.

I enjoyed this video. I already have the Weathertech window covers. I did one more thing to my crosstrek. I am 68 and got tired of going out the side doors. I went one step further and KZbin to the rescue. Check this out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mphGSslsmEpa8 . I have never done any car electrical like this before. I did break 2 clips from the rear door hatch panel removal and my Subaru dealer had them in stock. I bought a plastic set of tools ( multi pack of different pry tools) from Harbor Freight for removing interior panels. It took me about an hour total time from start to finish and LOVE it. I always go out the rear hatch now.

I went camping yesterday in MN and I took some tips from this video. One tip I can give to you is to disarm the alarm and disarm the noises for when u unlock/lock ur car. Wouldnt want the panic alarm to go off and i cant find the keys 😅. It's easy to do! And I brought ear plugs for when I go to sleep.

I have the 2021 sport. Been car camping a couple times. Really like your set up, and how you re-pack for quick exit. Really good ideas I’ll be looking into. Thank you Rob. 👍🏼

Helpful info! One question I have is, since your car has keyless access, can someone open the door from the outside after you've locked it from the inside using the fob? Seems like having the fob in/near the car will allow anyone to just walk up and open the door while you're inside.
@robpelton
@robpelton 11 ай бұрын
Great question. This has come up a few times recently. The answer is no. The car senses the fob inside and will not respond to the door handles from the outside. Perhaps I should do short demo! Thanks for watching!

They make window rain guards that allow you to have the window cracked. I didn’t get a chance to install them though.
