NIce job. Was thinking of doing something like this for some short trips where I want to ride some trails upstate. How do you get in and out of the bed when it's all set up. Go in through a side door or from the back?

Fabulous! You could also install straps over front seat to hold platform up, but unsure if that would affect airbags or not.

Very cool. This is a great idea! Especially since the seats don’t really go flat

Love the update. Considering a RAV 4. I had many mishaps with a tent in rain and hail. Plus, having to dry out stuff before packing is a pain. And it’s nice being off the ground. Keep posting your adventures! Thanks

Thanks for the thorough walkthrough. I just got a Rav4 and am really looking forward to doing a similar build. I also appreciate that Smokes does a safety check on each carriage bolt to make sure they are in correctly 😂 Safe travels and enjoy your setup!

Nice setup! To prevent hitting my head against the roof when waking up, I think I would build mine a little flatter. But you definitely gave me some inspiration on design and material choices!

Interesting and practical build! I might build mine like this. But not sure about the small piece in front. Maybe suspend it by a strap around each of the front seat head rests down through two holes in the small piece? Anyways, thanks!

I am planning to make my 2014 Subaru Forester multifunctional and have now watched about 20 You Tube videos on what people have been doing to make their SUVs into campers. Have got a few good ideas but your conversion is the simplest , best explained and demonstrated of all I have seen. Many thanks. I'm off to find the makings! Happy travelling!!

I'm removing the seats in my Rav4 as soon as it's delivered. How do you like the gas mileage on it. I'm used to driving a Ford f250 my first car/suv in many years.

Hi. Is this the RAV4 3th Generation or 4 th Generation?
@SarahOutdoors

Hi Jo, this is 4th generation (2014), 3rd generation had the trunk that opened like a door to the side. But a similar design would work for gen 3.

@@SarahOutdoors ah ok. Thank you for your answer. I heared 4 th Generation is 20 Centimeter Longer. So more space for tall Person Like me (185 Centimeter). But i also heared the 4 th Generation is not so good for Offroad as the 3th Generation. Maybe you can Tell me more about These 2 Things i readed

great build! if you were to design it again, have you thought of how you might be able to stow the support system so the removable part can sit flat when you stack it on top of the back part? seems like an opportunity to make it even more compact. Thanks for the clear explanation and great video angles.

Hi Ivan, honestly the gap has not bothered me one bit, although I understand how it may bother others, so I haven't really thought of adjustments to that portion.

Can you still access the spare tire underneath?
@SarahOutdoors
2 жыл бұрын
Definitely not the most convenient. Basically 3 options when the platform is not set up and just sitting in the trunk area, #1 is pushing both the base and the extension up to cover the rear seats which gives full access to the rear (which is only possible if you don't have people or a dog in the 2nd row of seats). #2 is hoping to have a strong friend who can keep the rear part lifted while you remove the tire or #3 is taking out the whole platform (which is definitely not ideal). If platform is set up, basically easiest to undo the drop pins and slide the base of the platform forward
