Subaru Outback Build Out!

This was an awesome build that came together really nice. Sean came to me with an idea of building the back of her Subaru Outback fully with batteries, fridge, solar, bed, drawer, tables you name it. Love a challenge and a different kind of build, and that's exactly what it ended up looking like!

Products used in the build:

Best Subaru camper conversion I've seen. Thumbs way up.

I am blown away by how much room and storage you can fit in that car. Just amazing.

If you'd like Sean to make a "One Year Later" video with likes, dislikes and what she would do different, thumbs up this comment.

Her idea of using spare tire space, plus ALL that flexible storage/sleeping space you found in a WAGON - combined genius! Subscribed, hooked, addicted...

Love the build! I'm on my 4th version of outfitting my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. My third build was done by my son in law who is a finishing carpenter .. so we built all the cabinetry like you did. And where is it now? On the garage floor. I built a place where there was almost no room left for me! LOL Now I have my bed and that is a raised deck to level me out but has storage under it. Now all my cooking gear and food go into a 'larder' that I can remove and it becomes my seat outside and cooking area too. All my clothing now goes into stuff sacks that can be compressed .. the sacks are also waterproof. Now for sleeping or just relaxing I have way more room .. when I pack up, the big Plano plastic box has wheels on one end and I lift it in and strap in down .. all hard items in my rig are secured. Hope you don't take offense that I may be 'dissing' you work .. it is gorgeous .. just saying what I ended up doing.

I drive a Santa Fe and have been watching van build videos for the last year looking forward to the day when I can get a van. I'm so glad people like this guy are also on YouTube. I realize now that there's plenty I can do with my Santa Fe so I don't have to wait or spend money on a van. I've already got some ideas that I'm going to try out.

A very practical design & build for the limited size of the vehicle. Thumbs up to everyone involved.

This is the first subaru conversion I've seen that utilizes the space in the spare tire well. Thank you! It annoys me so much when folks just cover it up lol.

[markhamchong]

this is the most Oregon thing we've ever seen

[marklabelle]

Very clever build. You should be proud of that one, I am impressed. When you walked around to show the water I was expecting an above rack outdoor shower with her outdoor lifestyle. Thinking about pulling out the tank-corner was smart, It surprised me, I would have had to make that one...after the build, lol, Thanks for letting me see it! I’d say keep up the good work, but with your talent... I think, you don’t have a choice!

Hands down THE BEST suv camper setup of all the ones I've seen. Only thing I wish were added were a tap w/ pump for doing dishes and showering when necessary

[flyguyblue]

Wow, superb job! I have a 2004 Forester, this set-up will be perfect.

I remember when this video came out. Hope it hits a million views!

You are becoming the big dog in custom camper conversions. Im thinking of lifting my toyota sienna mini van and your skills might be of service!

Really quality work my friend. Add some access to the cabinet space from the left back/passenger door and you can grab items from outside the vehicle when you need them in a hurry after getting out of the drivers seat. That and some coat hooks for your puffy/misc. clothes on that 45 degree section above the water tank. That’s how I rigged “the garage” on my minivan buildout and it is a dream. Rain coat/puffy are right there after you hop out of the drivers seat depending on weather. Not to mention my rack and haul bags. 👍
Also, using a Kreg jig on 1/2” ply worked well throughout on my rig, you’d be surprised how sturdy that stuff is on edge or even over a 2’ span when laid flat. Again awesome attention to detail and quality work brother! 👍
Thanks for the tour.

Great work! I assume she’ll be sealing and finishing all the wood surfaces. Excellent use of space and approach to the layout—-it’s a really small car interior, so you did a terrific job of meeting all her needs.

[facebookjunkme]

I just ordered an Outback and I already want this.

[joyfaithlove]

I'm honestly pretty impressed for such a small space!

[aspacepigtaipei]

I have built out my Hyundai Tucson in much the same way. The mattress to get is the Exped Megamat 10. It rolls up to not much if you need to transport something in the sleeping space. It's also incredibly comfortable and holds its shape and air like you wouldn't believe.

[ChaseChristopher]

Really cool! Tonssss of storage there👍 I love my build, but this seems like another great option.
