SUV Tour - AMAZING Car Camper Conversion

Transform your car on a budget with all the necessary equipment to be comfortable during your camping or overlanding trip!
Meet Maite,
She's a 2000 Ford Explorer that I have converted into a overland camper for a trip to Mexico.
The idea of this build is to be autonomous for a few days and be able to setup your camp in just a few minutes.
This setup features :
Twin Bed
Sliding Table
Kitchen on a drawer
Heated Solar Shower
You can find a list of equipment, CAD file for the build and more infos here :

I have searched dozens of SUV conversions and keep coming back to yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@lanGPr]

Awesome, thank you!

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I would love to see a much longer, detailed video on how to build this. I’ve watched so many of these and this is my favorite by far! ❤️

[@lanGPr]

Thanks ! It’s just a basic frame made of a sheet of plywood and some 2*4 pretty easy to make

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

@Isaiah Reid WTH does “Flixzone” have to do with my comment? Both you and “Bennett” are new accounts with no info or content and I would bet that you’re the same person and either employed by, or the owner of Flixzone, trolling YT channel comments to drum up business. Annoying. 🙄

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

It looks like “Sir Lancelot” swept in and sent the spammers packing! 😁👍

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I did a little digging and it looks like it’s probably a scam to fish for credit card info, so everyone should be wary of going on that movie website at all. Too risky!

I like that the bed 🛌 platform is low so you have headroom to sit up on the bed while still having Space 4 some storage underneath.....and good use of the space on either side. A very sensible build.

[@lanGPr]

🙏🏽 thanks

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

I appreciate that this is short and sweet!

[@ben_snow4497]

Love this build, I’ve looked at hundreds now and I’ll definitely be taking a few ideas from this one! Thanks!🙏😊

Same!!!

[@acricucci9760]

I can finally say I have found a favorite build in an SUV that is approx. the same size as my 2018 Subaru Outback, give or take a few inches. This is really beautiful, so well organized, and a lot of thought & planning went into it. Congrats on building a very comfy home for your travels. Stay safe!

[@HaiNguyen-tp4ok]

Can't be better than this--great floor plan, great setup, well-built.

[@lanGPr]

Thanks

That pullout table idea is amazing! Thanks for the tips!!

[@steveevans4842]

That’s bad ass! Absolutely love it! I have a 2010 Escape I was wanting to do similar. Nice lay out and super sufficient. Love the shower! SUPERB job.....nicely done!

[@dennyj8650]

Excellent - love the pullout kitchen and table! And all of this build will work for my SUV also! Thanks for sharing this with us all! Who needs a hotel when you have camp on wheels!

I built out my 4Runner with a Jenga build no screws, I really appreciate your setup and it would fit nice in my rig. It's going to be cumbersome when I have to fit my table in the back.

Excellent 👍

[@CreekCat1]

Only 586 likes?!!! This is amazing. I love the build out. I plan to build out my Crosstrek within a few months. The sooner the better but I don't think it has the room this vehicle has. I love that shower set up. Do you have instructions or more details on specs? Nevermind. I see your dropbox file. Thanks.

[@lanGPr]

Thanks! You should build it it's a lot of fun. I don't have instruction for the shower I build it myself but it's pretty much PVC pipes glued together with a tire pressure valve and a hose connection.

[@tvtvtvkatv2882]

good job

[@donnamount151]

Makes me wish I had a Tahoe instead of my 4x4 GMC pickup...but u can't beat a GMC in my eyes...maybe a Youcon

[@sharilambeth9062]

Nice build!

[@GreatBirdOfHope]

That explorer has the thin hard seats instead of the thick high back plush ones

[@ultrarealm]

very practical setup, what's your biggest pain in the rear end during your trip? not being able to cook during bad weather, or lack of a bathroom, a lot of my friends are considering starting a van life-ish trip, but there are too many uncertain factors. I hope you can sure some pointers.

[@oceaniccurrents]

Perfect! It’s all you need!

[@lanGPr]

Thanks

Awesome job...I have been planning to build out the inside of my 04 GMC 4x4 pickup. The shell is awesome made in Elkhart Ind. Got a screaming deal on it. My trk is 6x8 bed and I am 5'2"..(yes. I a girl) I have watched sooo many of these builds but I do love yours.. I watch "Suboverland"..Awesome channel..do u sell ur plans? Only difference is I am single so only need bed for one, I am a killer cook..😋 ..sorry Forest, u r a good cook too, can't tell if it is the cooking u love or the eating..haha..Br I an loves the cooking too..anyway the kitchen is my priority and yous looks fairly easy..looking forward to more of ur builds...Donna

[@timewatchstudios]

So awesome. Can you please tell me how you made the cabinets and their sizing? I’m having a problem with this as the ones I’ve found are way too wide. It looks like yours may have been purchased already made (like the ones holding the clothing). Can you tell me where you got them? Any help is appreciated I’m trying to do this but I’m not much of a builder so I’m running into a lot of barriers

[@lanGPr]

Sorry, I don't have the plans anymore, I have done it myself, it's not purchased

[@zachzimmer6922]

have fun when that cactus goes flying lol

He's always there to remind you to wake up when you sleep and come slowly touch your feet :D

[@heeeeyjai]

Wow, man I’ve been looking for something that I could use in my 2013 Ford Edge and yours is finally the one! This is beautifully done. Will you show how are you made the bedframe in storage units? Or do you have plans available? Thanks so much for posting this.

[@lanGPr]

Thanks, You can find the 3D plans in the description, nothing fancy its just 2x4 in a cross patern with a plywood sheet on top. Then the cabinet is separate and drop on it!

[@matthiasschobel3454]

Super

[@wandawas2]

Love love. How did you install that box in the window?

[@daviddirom7429]

Question?, would it have been more user friendly if the sink?/washbasin? Was on the other side of the burner on the outside edge?

[@natalielebron5532]

Interesting

[@sourpatch9797]

This is great ! Do you have a blue print ?

[@AcoustiClub]

There is a link in description box, where he put everything in there..

[@hldye7442]

Maybe reconsider music choice ? Good job on your build

[@Igloo_papi]

I would’ve taken out the seats. Extra room.

[@intelimoteintelimote7448]

To have room to work with, did you simply fold the second (and maybe third) row of seats down? Or did you have to modify the interior, disconnect wires, remove chairs, etc to make the surface flat both on the floor and on the sides where your cabinets are?

[@alexesdohr6485]

Where is the fridge/ cooler ?

[@FishWithWyoming]

I really want this exact set up could you send me dimensions and what not?

[@amandarose7902]

Hey! I'm also converting a ford explorer (mine is a '95) I was just wondering if you removed the back seats for this build or if you just have them down? Did you level it out using the platform?

[@lanGPr]

Hello, they are just down, the weight of the platform kind of level them but I haven't used any sheet down as a base

[@scotth5503]

What CAD program did you make the mockups in? And also FYI, you might want to restrict your dropbox permissions...no need for the whole world to see your registration.

[@lanGPr]

I used ONSHAPE! Thanks, I didn't notice I left some personal stuff in there! Ahahah

[@scotth5503]

@@lanGPr Thanks. I just made an OnShape account. It's much more intuitive than Sketchup.

[@alyssadesmarais8613]

Hi! I absolutely love this build! I'm going to be doing basically the exact same setup in my 2007 Ford Explorer in the next few months and traveling with my dog. I was just wondering what type of plywood you used for the build and about how much it cost you for wood and hardware at the time of your build. Was also just curious if you took out your 2nd & 3rd row seats for the build? Tia! :)

[@tylerl6942]

How's it going for you?! I have the exact same vehicle and I'm going to build one too!! Mine is def going to be less complex in the sense it won't have the shower but I have a couple things I'm going to do to mine. I've been doing carpentry with my brother these past 4 months renovating houses, and we have scraps so I'm going to be using that (but I will be getting a few extra things), I'm going to give mine a laminate floor that's not actually waterproof but it'll look cool, and then I'm building in the bed by stacking two memory foam mats and then using sheets as sort of a cushion cover, building it right into my platform so it looks clean. Then I'll be getting basically 5/8ths butcher block to make into a slide out that has drawers underneath and a few other things. Something that I came up with that I think is genius is a swamp cooler of sorts, I'm going to find a way to make it so that it cools my car using only a fan and ice without making it muggy. I just thought I'd share since we're in the literal same boat. I'll let you know on this threat what it costs me
