Subaru Camper Tour
My 4 seasons car camper design tour. This is my third vehicle to convert. It is by far the most complex set up ive done.

Sunroof fan idea is genius!
best ideas i've seen for a subaru.
I have a Subaru Outback and love your build! It's so clever that you used percentages to determine what you will need and how you will use the space. And, I appreciate the lessons learned. A very detailed build. Thanks for sharing!!
I especially love the little orchid. It really snazzes up the environment. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us. I wish you safe travels and rewarding adventures. :)
I've been trying to figure out a set up for camping in my outback and have been stuck on some important issues. You solved all of them. Thank you so very much. Subbed.
Love the fan in the roof idea... and the induction cook top!
I’ve seen a lot of Outback camping videos, but have never seen the sunroof fan setup. That’s an awesome idea. It’s one of those nuggets you keep and remember and include in your own setup. Thanks!!
The epitome of efficient! I LOVE the way you think.
I camp in Oscar the Outback. He's a 2012. I'm new at this. trying to do at least 2 weekends a month and am still working things out.

This is one of my favorite videos You have aot of great ideas Thanks for sharing
I am converting my 2006 Forester and was stuck on what to do about heat -- thanks for that clever solution!
True North Impressive! 🙂
Great build! Looks like you have thought this through and will pay when you get your van. Thanks for sharing!
That fan for the sunroof opening was pretty genius👍I have a 2018 Forester that I might try that with!

It's great in the winter, but it let's a lot of bugs in during the summer, I've taken mine out of the sunroof. When I finish redoing my build I'll do an update video

@@adventureswithjoseph what about using more of the screen netting over the sunroof with the magnets placed over the sunroof opening ? If you use strong enough magnets you could even travel with it in place possibly ?
What a great build! I love the fan in the sunroof! I've been car camping in my Toyota Matrix, but am now looking at getting an SUV for safer winter driving here in BC and the Yukon.

The sunroof fan turned out to be a failed idea. The Mosquitoes kept getting in cause it wasn't sealed enough.

Love the aesthetic touches to of the lights and flowers! 🌼 I personally like to name vehicles based off of their license plates haha, like mine is JPT and it's also a Subaru, so stars, so I named it Jupiter✨ Thoughts on these?! Jezzica 💁♀️ Jay-Z 🎤 Jazzy 🕺 Jazelle 🦌 Jurazzic 🦖 That's all I got haha

@11elevenWishWorthily... Sounds good. Haven't named my SUV, but Caddy was nick-named "Miss Kitty" by male friend that went with me when I bought it. But I named her "Jazz-Purr" because she Rwarrs 🐅 when I drive her.

Starburst... thats the name that popped in my head.
I like your interior lights. I have a 2016 and will go out on my first camping adventure with 2 dogs as soon as weather is reasonable.
This is AWESOME! Needed the fan info!!’❤❤❤❤❤

It's just a fan from Canadian tire, then used cardboard to hold it in place
I had a FreeStar too. Loved it ! In a Forester now with a Thule cargo box that helps free up inside space. Nice video - now subscribed 🌠

Really well designed. I had an old but low miles conversion van that I had to let go of when I got my Outback about 7 years ago, extended Starcraft conversion that was great for camping, pretty much a no build set up. I could even fit my 12 foot fishing kayak inside. Can't buy another van at current prices, so looking to set up my Outback for short getaways. Not going as elaborate as your build, but more of a low budget version. Thanks for the good ideas. BTW, are the window inserts store bought, or did you make them? I've been looking at the Weathertech ones cuz I'm not real handy and a low energy older guy, lol. Just subbed and liked, hope you keep making content.

I've taken the rear box off, it's too heavy, when I do my rebuild I'll make videos of those builds.

Did I miss refridgeration ? How are you keeping your perishables ?
I’m just curious when you’re in a real cold area isn’t there a special car heater you have to use so your motor doesn’t freeze
How many miles did your Subaru have on it when you bought it and how many dollars did you pay? Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
I like your setup, have you tried travelling in winter season with this setup? 🤔

Subaru are good vehicles. Only stigma associated with that brand of rough terrain vehicle is that folks think you're gay if you drive a Subaru. Same with Jeep Wrangler. They're tagged as "queer mobiles".
Why do young people now days never capitalize their damn names?!

If auto correct thought we were important enough for our names to be capitalized, then they would be. 😅
