As an RV kind of guy, I stumbled across this video and decided to watch it, just on a whim.. more out of curiosity as to "how" you could possibly pull this off. Brother, I am impressed. Seriously impressed. I'm an engineer by trade, so fit, finish, and tolerances are my thing, and what you've done with this vehicle is nothing short of amazing. Nice work, indeed.

Hands down the best Subaru Outback Camper Conversion! I have been undecided on buying a travel trailer or give it a go with my Outback, and your videos have helped me decide to give my Subaru a GO! I think travel trailers are great, but with the over saturated market and crowded camping sites, I love the idea of being able to truly explore in my Outback Bertha vs investing in an expensive trailer and later then finding it much harder to camp, than I would with car camping. Awesome video, awesome build, awesome mustache! 😊 👏🏻

You should do one of two things, or both: 1) Produce and sell a complete set of plans with a material list as well 2) Produce the kits for others to buy. Just today I looked at, and will most likely buy, the new 2021 Outback, I loved the vehicle. Your videos are by far the best I have seen.

Nice build! My Outback has something a bit more minimal so I can always keep the back seats and folding platform in the vehicle. I made Reflectix covers for my windows as well and added black cloth to them so it is super stealthy. I used cheap blackout curtains from Walmart, cut with about an inch of extra space beyond the reflectix. It is super easy to stick the fabric to the reflectix with 3M spray adhesive. I put them silver side out during the day, then swap them so I can have blackout curtain side out.

Always trying to make it more convenient and self contained. Spend a lot time in wilderness areas, national forests, and the like. I have to tell ya, you have done some genius things here to your Outback. I am going to have to study this video and start doing some building myself. I wasn't sure I wanted to remove the back seat, but your divers side back seat with the hanging table/desk is brilliant! Thanks for all the ideas. Take care fella.

I have been camping in my 19 outback several times this summer. Still working on making my kitchen take less space, as I have to set up everything outside. But a twin size air mattress fits perfectly in the back. I’m planning to switch to a Coleman slim twin soon so I can leave the single back seat up for the dog and to make getting in and out easier.

Nice setup for one person! I do backcountry trips in a Honda Fit, but would get something a little bigger if I change. I have no storage on roof and keep everything stowed inside at night so strive for minimal stuff. I evolved the same basic layout and “drive vs camp mode system”. Where your cabinet is, I bungee a box & bucket with cook kit and gear in the same space. No other “build”, other than removing the un-needed back seats, and a carpeted plywood piece cut to fit on the full size spare in rear pass side footwell to match up with flat rear floor area. This leaves me on floor level with no platform needed. Old lounge chair cushion under sleeping bag and I’m good to go. It flops in half backwards when not needed for driving, and the little dogs bed goes on that tire cover behind pass seat. Jacket always hangs off headrest and gives her a tent for shade and a place to hide. It’s her second home. She gets moved to drivers seat at night when camping. When I first contemplated how to get in & out for sleep time I tried the rear hatch but didn’t like climbing in with muddy boots on top of sleeping bag. I eventually went to using left rear door (where your seat / desk is) and I keep enough of that footwell clear so I can step in, pivot 180, and sit up straight on my sleep surface with feet on floor. No desk but I get by without. Sleep platform builds always seem to limit headroom? so you can’t sit up on bed? I’m 5’9” and have sitting head room , 6’ or more and nothing would work for me vertical or length wise! A few inches sometimes makes all the difference camping like this! What is your main in / out door when in camping mode? Are you climbing In over that plywood seat? Or does it flip up & back so you can step on floor? That seat would kill my foot space. I’m 66 and like to be able to wake, sit up, look around, fill the jar / dress & do boots etc. Specially if the weather isn’t something I want to jump outside in. The older one gets the longer it all takes. I didn’t like my rear hatch not opening from inside so removed a small access cover over lock and found a zip tie looped around release cable works perfect. I clip a small dog leash to zip tie that I can yank from anywhere inside car to pop the hatch. Can you get out the back end of a Subaru quick if needed?

I have a 2016 base model Outback. I know the backseat is taking up space but that’s my compromise. I just fold down one side (long enough for shortie me) to be sleeping area and put a gear trunk for cooking related stuff and an igloo ice chest as fridge on the other side. I have a 4x2 Lifetime folding desk that’s stealth and handy. I may customize a twin size mattress topper to fit the sleeping side for more comfort and insulation. The privacy net to reduce condensation is a great idea. I also love those window reflectors and cargo carrier on the roof. Thank you for the links and will head to Amazon to check them out.

Son, my 1st impression of you and this conversion, is this; "Wow 🤩 how creative are you?" Nicely done!! I would like to see some of you freelance creations, as well. Hubby and I just bought our 1st, Subie Outback, in November. We love the National Parks. I too am a photographer. Only way to go is camping like this. I see it as the best way to be where you need to be, so you can wait on the light. That being said, I believe this could be so seriously fun!! I can not wait to show him this.video! I may have questions: How do you make coffee, what is that gizmo? I wonder how you have enough electricity to run a Mac, plus they require wi-fi? Silly little details, lol Thank you for sharing this genius idea!!! I looks so affordable, as well.

On my last trip, I made the mistake of putting my Reflectix window blockouts on top of my car to dry out a little condensation, and I forgot they were up there when I packed up and drove off. Now they're terrifying cows all over northeastern Utah. :( Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing your setup!

Great video! Have a 2019 Outback. What are the dimensions of that drawer in the back where you keep your kitchen ware? Any issues with mounting the rack on top to factory crossbars?
@ChaseChristopher1
@ChaseChristopher1 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Bryan! The kitchen drawer is right at about 8" wide x 10" tall by 20" deep. For the rack I did re-drill the outside mounts to move them in one member and spaced them out a little . This gave the space I needed for my cargo box and the correct alignment with the factory crossbars. It was a easy fix.

Really like the video. Love the setup. I have an Outback and will be building the drawer setup, also have the Jackery. Now you got me thinking about removing the back seats. I have a Roofnest for a bed but still like being able to lay down inside. Thanks for sharing and all the great ideas.

Tough to say, but for materials alone I would guess it was in the 600-800 ballpark.

That is sssoooooooooooo AWESOME!!!! I have always thought that I was a weirdo for loving station wagons. I have no kids, but I love wagons. Several years ago I traded in my Mazda 6 Sport Wagon for 2018 Mustang GT Premium with the Performance Package, guess what,,,,, I really miss my wagon and I salivate whenever I see the Outback wagons. Yours is incredible. You are highly skilled and creative.
