Turn your SUV or hatchback into a fully functional camper in minutes. The Compass Camper Kit is a modular, vehicle-specific platform system that adds a comfortable bed, smart storage, and adventure-ready versatility — all without permanent modifications. Just select your vehicle and hit the road.

What’s Included

  • Aluminum‑framed bed platform with carpeted upholstery, perfectly contoured to extend over uneven folded rear seats
  • Retractable bed extension, maximizing sleeping length while allowing passenger seat flexibility, making a flat bed surface even with uneven surfaces in your car.
  • Two full‑extension drawers with heavy‑duty locking slides and removable dividers
  • Customize your configuration by selecting add-ons to make your kit personalized. Scroll through the photos to see examples of each add-on

Why You'll Love It

  • Leave it in your daily driver— slide the bed extension in the trunk to easily use your back seats, and forget you even have a camper installed.
  • Maximize space, minimize setup — Installs easily with no tools, anchoring to factory points for a secure fit.
  • Built for rugged travel — Aluminum framing and precise fit ensure durability and consistent performance in off-grid conditions.
  • Camp with comfort — Even taller users report sleeping fully stretched, toes pointed—a space design difference proven by customer experience by maximizing your vehicle's dimensions.

Model-Specific Fit

Select your vehicle make, model, and year from the dropdown—each variant is precision-engineered to ensure snug fit and full functionality. Don’t see your vehicle listed? CLICK HERE for customs!

60/40 SPLIT Bed Extension Option transforms the normal full-width bed extension into two separate pieces, one the width of your double back seat, and one the width of the single back seat. This allows you to have one back seat up, while the other side's bed is extended. Great for solo camping!

Mosaic wood grain and color varies depending on supply.

MODEL NOTES:

  • 4Runner Kit Gen 4 and 5 only: Select either standard 8.75" height for a 5'8" long bed, or the tall 14" height for a 6'4" long bed. Tall versions allow the bed to flow over the flipped-up back seat bottoms, while giving you much taller drawers.
  • 4Runner Gen 5Does NOT work with sliding gear tray
  • FJ Cruiser KitBack seat bottoms MUST be REMOVED to deploy final section of bed extension. Easy to remove these without tools.
  • Crosstrek Kit: Drawers start 3.5" above trunk surface to pull out over the raised tailgate lip.
  • Honda Element Kit: Rear seats must be permanently removed.

FAQs

camper conversion kit bed platform inside subaru outback with custom mattress on top and mosaic drawer faces

How does shipping work?

  • I can ship anywhere in the lower 48 states. For full Kits with drawers, it costs a flat rate of $500.  I load the camper in a padded custom box, then strap it to a pallet.  It is shipped via freight shipping service.  They use forklifts and semi-trucks to transport the unit.  This is the safest way to ship large items by far. *Contact me about shipping to Canada*
  • For bed platforms without drawers, it costs $175, and comes flat-packed and shipped via UPS.

Can I pick it up locally to save on shipping costs?

  • Absolutely! We are located in Bend, Oregon. Select 'Pick Up' at checkout.  We will then coordinate a time and date. I will install it for you on site, show you how to operate it, and answer any questions you might have.

Can I use my back seats with the camper installed?

  • Yes! The bed extension can be detached from the trunk frame and slid into the trunk. Then, you can raise your back seats.  It's easy to keep the camper installed full-time and not lose any functionality of your vehicle for daily driving.

How heavy are these campers?

  • Depends on which model car you have. In total, they range from about 75-100lbs for kits with drawers, and about 45lbs for the kits without drawers.

My back seats do not fold flat. Does the bed platform lay flat?

  • Yes, the camper's dimensions account for the slight incline of the folded down back seats to create a flat bed platform. The support for the bed extension is a specific height based on your vehicle's measurements.

How strong are the drawers?

  • The drawer slides range from a load rating of 250-300lbs when fully extended, although the plywood drawers can roughly handle about 50 lbs on each drawer comfortably. Make sure the trunk frame is secured tightly to your car so the extended drawers do not tilt when loaded.

Can I access my spare tire easily?

  • Yes! You do not need to take the camper out of your vehicle to access your spare tire. Simply unhook all four turnbuckles from your anchor points, then slide the trunk frame over your folded down back seats to expose the spare tire area under the trunk.

High quality, great service

Awesome system! Got the low profile setup for my 2023 RAV4. I wanted more headroom, but in retrospect the drawer setup would have provided sufficient headroom, so part of me wishes I had gone that route, but I’m very happy with the low profile setup. When not in use everything fits under the factory cargo area cover in the cargo space. Well engineered and thought out. Anthony was great to work with, and very helpful explaining everything. Materials and construction are super high quality. I recommend getting the split setup and the mattress. The whole system is well worth the cost and super easy to use. 10/10

This is the second review I have been prompted to write.

Sorry about that redundant review request... a glitch that was just fixed. And thank you for your stellar review! I hope your camper serves you well and takes you to some beautiful places on the road. Happy Travels! -Anthony

Subaru Camper Insert

Everything is great. I especially appreciate and use the "table" behind the drivers seat. With this camper, I can sit, stretch out or sleep, cook, and travel.

Dream come true!

I am beyond happy with my compass camper! The craftsmanship is next level and the communication was top tier. I am so glad I went with this company instead of doing a dyi build.

Anthony did a great job on my conversion kit. I opted for the black aluminum frame and star mosaic drawer fronts. They look great! The product is made very well and it was easy to install. I just got back from Yellowstone, and this setup was great!

Fits perfectly and it its comfortable. Nicely made, great product.

Functional and quality built

Arrived in Orlando in perfect condition, setup after unboxing took less than 10 minutes. Everything worked perfectly, no issues whatsoever. I recommend this item.

Outback

Absolutely love it! Drove from CT to Oregon to pick it up. Met Anthony and was installed super fast and easy. Great storage and the pop up table is a cool feature. When extended into sleeping position the platform is very sturdy, set up air mattresses onto it and had a great car camping experience.

Fantastic!!

!! The drawer storage and lift table are top tier! My cat and I have been traveling and sleeping comfortably for a couple of weeks now.
Packaging was intimidating, coming on a couple pallets, however easy peasy to install!

The best thing I ever got for summer

It’s really obvious & refreshing when someone puts care and effort into the work that they do. I was looking for a build-out for the back of my 4Runner to upgrade my camping and adventuring. I received this camper and am stoked on the quality, the precision in which it’s made, the ease of installation, and just the overall experience. I was nervous to have this made and shipped, but it delivered expertly packed on a pallet and in perfect condition. I cannot say enough good things about this and I can’t wait to break it in this summer.

Super awesome build

We just picked up our Compass Camper for a Subaru Outback. Anthony was great at making pick up easy. Installation went better than expected. Anthony reviewed how to best utilize space, gave lots of info on how to get the most out the platform. I am looking forward to getting outside and having this upgrade to make car camping and outside recreation so much easier. Also looking forward to being so much more organized while traveling.

Excellent experience

I recently drove to Oregon to have Anthony install a RAV4 camper conversion kit in my 2020 Toyota, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The platform is extremely well-made, sturdy, and professionally installed—Anthony even removed part of the back seat to ensure a perfect fit.

What stood out most was Anthony’s honesty, pride in his work, and reasonable pricing. He was a pleasure to communicate with and went the extra mile by adding a custom compartment under the front passenger seat for my dog when I asked.

Though I haven’t used the setup yet, the craftsmanship speaks for itself—it’s clear he pays attention to detail. Highly recommend Compass Camper Concepts to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality conversion!

More comfortable and organized plus AMAZING customer service

I am 5'8" and I have not been able to sleep fully stretched out, toes pointed, in a car until I got this platform. Just having my sleeping pad in my Forester's cargo area with the seats down before was still too cramped with how the front seats would have to be. Now with this design the space above my backseat's footwell is utilized as well and I can sleep truly comfortably, side by side with my partner. The drawers in the back and the space under the platform in the middle of the car provide nice space for easily accessed organized compartments. I've gone on one 2 week road trip so far with this set up and I'm looking forward to many more to come. I also want to say that in the process of ordering this platform I had a bunch of weird constraints with needing to delay pickup by several weeks due to uncertainty with my schedule and Anthony would respond to my emails usually within just a few hours and was accommodating in every way to hold the platform as long as I needed and coordinating with me when I was ready to pick it up. I honestly can't say I've had a better customer service experience than the one I did working with Anthony on this.

Solid product, shipping and installation

I purchased the low profile, split bed configuration with the black aluminum frame with the Roam rest mattress for my 2024 Subaru Outback. It all arrived as promised. The packaging was secure and intact. The freight company was responsive to rescheduling an in-person delivery. The installation video was clear with just the right amount of detail. The frame and materials are rugged and minimalist - just what I wanted. I'm looking forward to getting on the road soon in comfort and style. Thanks, Anthony!

Obsessed!

I got the low profile camper with an extendable table on one side - really happy I did - it’s a huge improvement over my DIY home depot build. I love that it’s carpeted and that the section over the backseat can be moved so I don’t have to take the camper out when I’m driving people. It feels really sturdy and the hooks to lock it in place is pretty genius. Really appreciated the quick responses and great communication from Anthony as well.

Absolutely Love This!

I absolutely love my conversion kit. It is a perfect fit for my Subaru Outback and is super high quality. This has been a game changer for my camping adventures.

Master Craft

My order was made to perfection. Compass Camper is 10/10! Highly recommend. Very responsive and reliable. Great craftsmanship and high quality supplies.

Sexiest camper on the market!

As soon as I saw Compass Camper, and the beautiful drawers, I knew this was what my Subaru Forester Wilderness needed. Ordering was quick and easy, and it was ready for pickup sooner than anticipated. I drove into the driveway, and it was installed in less than 20 minutes. I have been loving the extra drawer storage, and have used the split sleeper to storage skis inside on trips. I had a flat tire, and had to remove the camper at Les Schwab to access the spare, and it was pretty quick and easy. I haven't had the chance to use the full camper feature yet, but can't wait to get it out on some adventures soon! So excited by this sexy upgrade to my already super sexy car.

Love my camper!

I went to Bend and had Anthony install my camper. It was fast and easy. The drawers hold a ton more than what I first thought. I keep everything in there. I also bought the custom mattress which fits perfectly on top. I love my new camper and I can’t wait to take it on many more adventures. My dogs love the extra cushy space. Since it’s higher up, they are able to see outside. Just love it! Thanks Anthony!

Compass Camper experiance

I placed my order end of Sept and in 5 weeks - as advertised - I received it. Anthony Gordon was immense through his communication and willingness to go the extra mile with customization for my Titan XD 2016-2024 series Truck bed. I am delighted with what is a robust & practical solution. Excellent video instructions were provided to me making it easy to assemble and install. The customer service provided was exceptional. I have bought a product that will likely outlive my truck. Very pleased with this purchase.

Amazing!

I purchased a kit back in June prior to moving to Alaska for my 24 Subaru Outback. We finally got to do a test run last night (sort of- it was 19 degrees out so we didn’t actually stay overnight) and initially when ordering, I was worried about my 90lb dog fitting with my husband and I. We did some modifications in the ordering process (dropped the platform one inch to maximize headroom and widened the platform to meet the wheelwells) and my dog LOVES it. We got some stairs for him to climb in and he was immediately cozy and happy and the three of us fit so well! While our set up is still a work in progress, I’m happy to say so far so good! I’m excited to really set up our car for off-grid adventures. We got the lift table option, split bed extension, and did a sink cut out with collapsable sink. So so excited to use and will post more pictures in the spring when camping season really starts up!

100% Recommend

I'm extremely happy with this platform. It was easy to put together and looks great. Anthony was super nice and helpful with my questions. My favorite thing is the amount of storage underneath the platform. The platform makes my camping experience feel more organized and functional. I highly recommend!!!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Misty! I hope your camper serves you well on your adventures!

Happy Travels,
Anthony

The Best Camper!!

I have been a Subaru Outback owner for 30 years. This camper option has been a game changer. I love it!! I plan on doing many great adventures. Love that they have added the mattress option. Planning on ordering mine soon!!

Transformed my camping experience!

When I’m going to camp in one place for several nights I set up a tent and a portable table for cooking. But when I’m moving to a different campsite every night it's way easier to sleep in my Outback. This camper conversion setup has worked GREAT for me. I’m only 5'3" so sleeping on the platform is a good fit. All my camping and cooking gear fits in the drawers so it doesn't take up space in plastic bins on top of the platform. There is room next to my mattress and sleeping bag for my camping fridge. The tops of the drawers made for a perfect place to do food prep and cooking. In the off season (or anytime I need to make room for backseat passengers) it’s easy to flip back the extensions and put the seat up. This also means that I can leave it in my car over the winter, which is a huge plus since I don’t have a garage or anywhere to store it. Love this so much. The whole thing is sturdy and well-built. Worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn’t buy one sooner!
